Another monger leaps to his death from hotel in Angeles City
A 52 years old Swiss monger jumped to his death from his room at Queens Hotel, landing head first and sending other guests scampering on Friday. No suicide note was found in his room.

This is not an unusual occurrence in Angeles City. A few years ago another monger, who police described as Caucasian-looking and big bellied, leap to his death from the rooftop of the seven-story Grand View Hotel.

When mongering in the Philippines, it is probably a good idea to carry some form of identification on one's person and register with the pertinent embassy. This should help expedite the notification of relatives and the repatriation of remains in the event of a monger expiring in the line of duty. The local police do not seem to put much effort into identifying the deceased. Some mongers use aliases and false flags while punting, but there is a risk that this could have hilarious and unintended consequences after they make their final departure.
Angeles, cialas, taxis, and High Society
Fair taxi price from manila airport departure lounge to your Angeles hotel. 2200 pesos (make sure to go up the flight of steps from arrivals to departures, for the taxis at arrivals charge like wounded bulls).
Fair taxi price from Angeles bus depot to Manila airport, 1000 pesos (Taxi parking area is hidden a short distance from the bus parking area.).
Ignore the touts at the Angeles bus depot. Make sure you negotiate only with a real taxi driver sitting in his real taxi ready to take you and your luggage to Manila. Touts will try to grab your luggage and carry it to a taxi of their choice. Don't let them. Hang on to your own luggage and drag it yourself. Your luggage is apt to be kidnapped to get you to take an overpriced taxi. Do not negotiate taxi prices with a tout, do not let a tout carry your luggage. If you cannot find the taxi area, ask a tout for directions but carry your own luggage. Never give a taxi tout any money. They are the scum of the earth and do not deserve it.
Where is Pinochet when we need him? He would put up a sign saying "taxi parking this way" and jail the touts. But I suppose he would shut down the gogo bars also.
Since the fair price from the bus depot is only a thousand, the fair price from your hotel should not be too much higher. But likely it will be.
Cialas and tadalafil are pretty much illegal in the Philippines. Doctors are only allowed to prescribe it in tiny amounts, and the legal stuff is absurdly overpriced. The illegal stuff is usually fake. Make sure to bring in your own supply from outside. I recommend Iron Dragon.
Tadalafil lasts much longer than cialis, but builds up tolerance faster so you are probably better off on cialis.
On the other hand, tolerance maxes out. If you take forty milligrams of tadalafil per day, it still works quite well, you do not build up unlimited tolerance.
Because Voodoo is the only bar open 24/7 I collected a couple of girls from Voodoo. Bad idea. The two Voodoo girls were disturbingly hard boiled, putting me off sex and rendering me impotent. Voodoo girls are not employed by mamasans, but are free lancers contracting directly with the bar. Maybe this is why they are so hard boiled, or maybe I just had bad luck.
High Society, on the other hand, was great. Although they are all free lancers, and free lancers are usually tough cookies compared to mamasan girls, these are the worlds sweetest, freshest and most innocent free lancers, many of them turning a trick for the first time in their lives due to some financial emergency.
Many High Society girls do not use condoms, and many of them seem unfamiliar with the concept. Unlike mamasan girls, they do not undergo any health checks. Many of them do not know how to do oral, and many refuse to do oral. When told to get on their knees, they are surprised and puzzled, evidently hearing this demand for the first time in their young lives, and, after getting on their knees with a puzzled expression, are then shocked to discover the reason for getting on their knees.
Like all females they will get pushy if they sense weakness, but respond well to firm and clear commands. Don't take any crap from them, and don't hesitate to tell them what is wrong with them and what they are doing. But, provided you first establish that the customer is always right, will respond well to small acts of kindness, concern for their welfare, and human interest, provided it does not look like weakness. They are the only working girls I have ever seen filled with gratitude for a meal at MacDonalds. I give them a small payment up front, and promise a much larger tip of variable size in the morning. If they give me any crap, which they frequently do, I say "Do as you are damn well told, or get out!
One morning I told one High Society girl "I am only giving you a small tip because you were no good!" Despite my words she responded to the tip with a big warm happy smile, repeatedly apologized for being no good "I am no good, no good", and repeatedly thanked me for giving her any tip at all. The tip I gave her still seemed mighty big to her, the criticism well deserved: She perceived me as remarkably kindly, generous, and tolerant.
High society opens from ten at night to six in the morning, and does not really get going till some time after ten.
In one of the gogo bars, I met an astonishingly beautiful girl, magazine cover girl quality, movie star quality, as if there was a spotlight shining on her putting all the other girls in the dark, absolutely solid ten, who had, four months earlier, sold her virginity for the sum of fifty thousand pesos. She seemed quite smart, way smarter than the average bar girl, but was absolutely innumerate, incapable of understanding the difference between one large number of pesos and a different large number of pesos. To her, fifty thousand pesos was the same thing as wiffle gobble pesos. The number of trailing zeroes just did not register with her.
