Angeles City

[QUOTE=EngineDriver;1769534]The bar fine in Angeles is all inclusive. There is no obligation to pay the girl anything extra after the deed, however, you may give her a tip if you enjoyed the service. A tip of PHP 500 is adequate. As they say in SE Asia, it's up to you. There are detailed instructions further back in the forum on bar etiquette, tipping the waitress, interview questions, dealing with the mamasan etc.[/QUOTE]Thanks to Engine Driver and West Coast1 for your replies I will go further back and check out the pages.

[QUOTE=Member#4221;1769687]Says a lot about your intelligence to judge someone's experience in a PI by the amount posts they have. Just because I am new to this forum has no correlation with my longevity or experience in Philippines. I wonder what I would I need to do to prove to you and your illogical brethren; show you my flip driver license? Show you the titles on the various properties I own? The vehicle registrations from the LTO?

This is the same guy who uses dog collars on Filipinas while sodomizing them bareback. I wonder how do you politely ask them to do this? GE is just illogical. You are hypocritical and illogical.[/QUOTE]Your FR history has been one of post g inks t news etc that other posters have said is either old news or a waste of bandwidth or asking why not find more positive / upbeat news. Thus the judgment of whether you have been to the country remains as you offer very little.

Also flip is a verb (as in to flip) not a nationality, but sure post them (the title deeds, the licence, the vehicles regos) and the other stuff as at least that would be 'useful' information.

As for bareback sodomizing? Maybe you have me confused with others?

One thing people say in the board is that if you ask them nicely you generally have a good time.

No one is illogical as some who post have been living in he country for 10+years and see it though less testosterone (or V, see, L) fueled eyes and actually notice what is going on. You seem like someone who has never been here, rarely been here and / or been scammed etc and thus hates the country. As a result you hatred is spewed into so called FRs but when called out about it, you get worse and go on he attack etc as you can't show any insight into the Philippines to support the claims of knowing the country well (as you have not been here apart from reading lots of local news articles).

See'est LE vie (that's French BTW).

[QUOTE=WickedRoger;1769578]Many say they will not vote as "why bother the same people will stand just in different positions.[/QUOTE]Most will vote for whoever gives the most money at the voting station.

[QUOTE=Robbaf;1769807]Most will vote for whoever gives the most money at the voting station.[/QUOTE]That refers to the very poor (the socio economic class the and E where Binay ahs huge support) - ie limited access to social media, some could be illiterate etc.

And not just the cash Robbaf. The liter of Pepsi and bag of rice is a must for any aspiring politician.

But your comment has lots of sense and sums up the voting 'pedigree' of many of the voters and why the family dynasties love them LOL.

[QUOTE=Dg8787;1769027]Now are you saying you are so wealthy and high status that girls just want to hang out with you for free? And classy too?[/QUOTE]I cannot afford the Shangri La very often, or for very long. But once in a while it is a nice treat. And when I gave myself that treat, I was noticeably more popular.

I met a guy at the Shangri La, with two girls in the honeymoon suite, one of them about eighteen, one of them early twenties and mighty hot. He was early sixties. Fat, bald, ugly but impressively charismatic. If he was running for president, I would vote for him, if he was selling freezers in Alaska, I would at least consider buying one.

Of course it is easy to be charismatic when you have two cute girls young enough to be your granddaughters following you around like puppies.

I got the instagram feed of one of his girls. They were regular respectable girls who had ran off from school and family to be with him for a few days shortly after meeting him. They were extremely proud to be with him. He was not paying them anything or giving any substantial gifts. Beneath his dignity to pay for sex. My dignity not quite so high.

So classy girls and working girls alike are pretty keen on hanging out at the Shangri La.

And I just now realize that when I was in the Lewis Grand, all my working girls seemed to like me and think I was a pretty cool guy, but the two working girls that I took to substantially cheaper hotel definitely thought that I was an asshole. This may however not be related to the quality of the hotel. There were other factors sufficient to explain the difference.

I know Emirates fly the BA 777-200 er to Manila from Dubai no idea what sami got that idea, there are only [B]15 airport in the world [/B]can handle the A380 not NAIA the worst large city airport in the world, the wing span of A380 are much wider than most airplane and Emirates and Singapore airline have the most A380 .
Fast eddie 48.[/QUOTE]Not quite. As per Airbus' web site: [I]As of April 2015, the A380 fleet operates more than 100 routes to [B]50 global destinations[/B], with Airbus 21st century flagship taking off or landing every four minutes on average.[/I] And many many more are "A380 ready" without currently having A380 flights.

Likewise on [URL]a380flights.net/airports.html[/URL].

The A380 is no longer considered a new airplane. Next month will mark its 8 year anniversary since it first entered commercial service with Singapore Airlines.

I'm sure these questions have been answered but they have to be lost in the many reports. Any assistance is appreciated.

1. When is the best time of year to go (I'm thinking about Jan / Feb / March time frame)? Is there a such thing as high season and low season?

2. How much should you expect to pay a day for a hotel? And which would you suggest?

3. How much are the bar fines?

4. Any suggested bars?

5. I've seen in the post, Long term and I'm assuming there must be a Short Term. What's the difference?

6. How much should a person budget a day not including the hotel?

7. How should you dress?

8. Is there anything else I need to know?

Thanks for the help.

Women have a natural homing beacon on money & security. That equates to popping kids. Of course the homing beacon is far stronger if the women are looking for a foreigner to take care of her Filipino kids.

1. I wouldn't go during Christmas or new years, many of the girls will have gone home to spend time with their families. Any other time is good.

2. Depends what kind of room you want. Crappy rooms can be had for 1 k PHP. I usually spend 2 k daily on my room and I'm happy. Try to book in advance if you want a decent room. Most of the decent hotels won't have availability for walk in guests.

3. Depends, out on the perimeter, it can be as low as 1200. But I think most would agree the quality is not as good as you'd find down on fields, where the bar fines are usually at least 2 k.

4. On the Perimeter, I used to like After School a lot. They used to have a short time option which was 900 PHP I believe. Pony Tails usually has a decent number of girls + free popcorn! In general it really depends on who is working where. The girls move around and there is a lot of general turnover. More to the point, there are bars that I try to avoid. Usually I try to avoid bars with tiered bar fines. And also bars that are Korean focused. I don't go to Icarus, and I don't go to Las Vegas. And many of the larger clubs, although maybe that's your thing.

5. Short term is usually just one pop. Long term is usually over night. Ask the girl how long she will stay with you.

6. How many times a day can you do it? How many different girls do you want?

7. No one cares how you dress. Even in the discos, if you're a foreigner with money.

8. Have a good time. Take it easy, be careful of pickpockets near fields. Use protection. Don't fall for a bar girl.

The current version of the Philippine Constitution draws a rigid line between church and state. Unfortunately it's a highly permeable line in practice with churches, eddying endlessly in public policy. What's worse is that politicians are scared to death of the churches' influence and thus typically acquiesce to whatever changes in policy the churches desire.
