Manila

[QUOTE=Hesekiels]Oh, sorry! It is just a famous ST hotel in Mabini street. Every taxi driver you pick in front of LA Cafe knows it. It is just a 5 minutes ride that costs you not more than 40 pesos. A great place to go for daytime action while your GF/wife waits in Pan Pacific! :) Sometimes you can find cute and willing girls at the entrance!

Cheers - Hesekiels[/QUOTE]Thanks Hesekiels. I'll follow your advice. I'm wondering though if the latest stormtrooper raids on LA Cafe will have scared all the prospects away. Hopefully not. I've still got 3 weeks before my trip so maybe it will all have blown over by then.

wouldn't suppose you know the cross street or a landmark nearby to better identify exactly where it is?

I found this site before I left the states, and now have arrived in Manila as of Friday August 18th. As it is Sunday now, I shall be here for 7 more days. I am here to interview some call centers and train a some reps for my business.

I welcome the opportunity to experience the local culture - however, the conceirge at the hotel - the Astoria Plaza in Ortigas - will not let me out at night alone - *I strongly advises you against it, sir*

I have read many of the posts here (and will contribute one, if I can get off the ground here) and it appears a visit to Quezon City (Heartbeat/Classmates) for the high end, and perhaps the EDSA complex would be good. As an fyi I'm a 40yo married guy, looking for some nice filipina affairs - not wife hunting - no need for another... So do I ditch the ring, does it matter?

My primary question is, is it ok to go to these places alone? Is it fairly easy to get a fair (metered) cab ride back? Anything in particular I should watch out for? I'm getting the impression from people here that this place is more dangerous than I anticipated, and in my one trip to the local sm megamall to restock all the toiletries stripped from my bags by airport security and get some food for the fridge - I was suprised to get patted down at the entrance, and by the number of security around. I didn't really do any hunting, I looked around a bit, but didn't notice a lot of looks.

In any case, I would love to explore when I'm not working/doing business - so welcome your advice for flying solo, etc... thx

According to my girl, they are closed temporarily or permantly due to the raids last week, She thinks it might only be time before LA Cafe is closed and she will return to Davao.
I dont think they are closed for good as I heard the owner of Amazonia was opening another Amazonia bar in Wangchai, Hong Kong.
Does anybody know anything anymore concrete???

Been bar hopping for the last couple of days. Too busy for a detailed report, but I'll summarize my findings.

DEL PILAR STREET, MALATE

I am happy to report that the cornerstone of this area, LA Cafe, is running at 100%. In the two times I've been there since the raid, it was jam packed full of girls. I could not discern any decrease in either quality or quantity of girls.

Stingfellows was rocking. This is the old Jurassic bar, directly opposite LA Cafe. A very good selection of girls, although the place is up and down. When I went Thursday night, it was a difficult choice between 3 real hotties. I took one and my friend took another. None of them were there Saturday, and I couldn't find anyone I liked. The selection was still very good however. On a good night, I consider this one the best bars in Manila. Barfine is 1,000, and the ladies drinks count towards the fine.

Alas, as reported earlier, Amazonia and Butterfly bar are closed. The irony is that as far as I know, none of the staff barfined from this place. It was just a bar like LA Cafe that had a lot of freelancers. It most likely has to do bribes or similar issues about the right people not getting their "cut", although there would still need to be some violation to close the place down. I would bet that some of the dancers (or all of them) didn't have dept of social hygiene permits. Just because the girls only dance and don't barfine doesn't mean they do not need the permits. Basically, if you dance in a place like this, you are put in a group that requires weekly checkups. Maybe management thought they could get away with it (girls don't like to get the checkups) because they didn't allow barfines. Well, the law is enforced when they have good reason - like not receiving the correct bribe - so Amazonia gets closed. This is just my guess.


AIRPORT ROAD

For those not familiar with area, just ask any taxi driver to take you to Victory Hills KTV. DONT GO IN VICTORY HILLS. It is a rip off joint. Instead, just walk against the flow of traffic. You will pass Flamingo Bar (not to be confused with Flamingo on Burgos) on your left. The next bar passed Flamingo is Ruds Cafe. A small, run down bar, but there was a really nice selection of girls when I went there. Just take a seat and keep your eyes open. I took a girl from this place and so did my friend, and there was a third who was very bangable. The barfine is 6,000 (go figure), but we just picked them up down the street at 3:00 am. Some really nice girls in this bar.

Now, if instead of going into Ruds Cafe you continue walking, you will come to airport road in about 3 minutes. First, this place is dark with some sketchy characters, but don't worry too much about it. I've been there many times at around 1:00 am and have never been concerned, but cautious types should be aware.

Turn left on Airport road. This is a low end area with lots of cheap places with VIP rooms, but also a couple of nice places. The only thing that almost everyone has in common is that there are girls available, either to just sit with you, for VIP, or for take out. Take out is not common, but is usually negotiable. Just take a walk and see if anything takes your fancy. After about a 5 minute walk, you will get to a main corner with a couple of big, bright clubs. Every one is up and down, so it is difficult to recommend any particular one. At this corner, hang a right. A couple more on this street. After the street gets dark, just cross the street and check out the other side. When you get back to Airport road, turn left and go back the way you came, except now check out the bars on the other side of the street. At the point you get back to where you started from, you have walked past about 40 bars and seen maybe 100 girls. There are another maybe 200 girls inside these bars that you won't see unless you enter. And the nice thing about this place is that it is cheap. Ladies drinks are 100 to 200 pesos, and a san Miguel is always less then 50.

One of the nice things about these places is that while many of better girls just work there and won't go home or VIP with the customers, as a "rich" foreigner, you will tend to get better mileage. And if you are under 60 and less then 300 lbs, you will be considered quite a catch. Older guys can't give them the family they want and some girls are afraid that large men are just too big on top of their petite bodies (if you are 65 and 300 lbs, just lose some weight and pop a Viagra). But ugly guys, no problem. I've seen some of the funkiest looking dudes with some absolute babes. Just zoom in on the cutest girl you can find, buy her some drinks and if she won't go home with, you can almost certainly make a date for the next night and get some great girlfriend sex.


Also, there are lots of similar areas like this all around Manila, but this is the largest that I know off. Just yesterday, driving along Edsa from the complex to Makati, I noticed a couple on the left side that I have never been to before. Parking can be difficult, but no problem if you go late. I walked past about 6 or 7 bars, and saw a real cute girl working in one. She was 18 and appeared quite surprised when I offered to buy her a drink. She wouldn't go into the VIP room with me and wouldn't leave with me, but after a bunch of cheap ladies drinks, agreed to meet at 10:00 tonight and go out with me. A really sweet girl that would be very difficult to find in the complex. Assuming that she is not a virgin (I have little patience for second and third dates anymore) I'll be banging her tonight.

[/QUOTE]

Sure you can go out alone at night! Take any taxi to EDSA complex, but make sure that the driver flags the meter. Sometimes one has to insist, but it's worth it to avoid misunderstandings. That's all. However, I believe with the very same precautions like in NYC you should not have any problems in Metro Manila.

By the way, why to ditch your ring? I don't do it either and never encountered any disadvantage because of that. :) Being married simply does not matter at all. IMHO, of course!


Happy hunting - Hesekiels

Anything in particular I should watch out for?[/QUOTE]BF..it sounds to me like your hotel doorman is trying to set you up with one of his driver/guide buddies. You don't need them. Manila, like any other big city, does have some sketchy areas but for the most part it's safe as long as you are aware of your surroundings and not in an alcohol induced coma. I've been going to the PI (mostly AC) for years and I've never had a problem. You can take taxis anywhere you need to go and they are very cheap compared to back home. Just make sure you have them turn on the meter. Once you hook up with a girl, she'll take care of all the small things for you (like taxis).

Don't let a doorman who's out to hook up his friends keep you from enjoying the many delights of Manila. Go forth and conquer.

bit farmer,

you've already got some good advice. edsa will rock your world. so will burgos in makati which is much closer and might be more soothing for your newbie mentality.

your conceirge strikes me as very odd. he is either trying to protect you (because you look like a target) or is trying to win your confidence so that he can get a commission based introduction. i have no idea really...but...

tell the guy you want a girl and see what happens.

whatever he says, take notes, say thanks, then get in a taxi and go to burgos or edsa. i assure you, there have been thousands of foreign guys who have made this trek, alone, and lived, and survived and had experiences which are etched into their memories forever. damn, now that i think of it i've done it nearly a hundred times myself, alone. only a few times with a friend.

of course, if you are a wussy, just stay in your hotel room. you can probebly ask for room service.

different people have different strategies, but i always firmly and politely ask for the meter. i'll tip well if there are no arguements, no excessive beeping of the horn (rare), and no speeding up when old ladies and children are trying to cross the road.

if any of this info is any help, i'd love to hear some general info about you biz. just send private message (pm).

[QUOTE=Daring Mood]Hi Jackson
I haven't posted for months, coming back to the scene after a long medical lay off and in a darling mood. Will be in Manila in two weeks and looking for recommended accomodation. Can you set up a tag under the Philippines thread covering hotels? Comments / recommendations regarding hotels are all over the shop and generall confusing. It would make it easier for all of us to find out where the best deals on monger friendly hotels in Phils are.
TIA

x[/quote]got it x-man. this morning prior to this good 'stop being a wus' advice, i played it half safe and arranged a rendez vous with an yahoo chat i had a while back, she came an hour out of the city to see me, but nana sent her cousin (hotter) and sister (cute but young) with her - when the group finally showed up (they each had to have a turn in the shower) i knew the story, but they took me to a couple of real filipino bars and it was an absolute riot - apparently getting up on stage, singing or being a silly transvestite is popular entertainment here.

while i was waiting i wandered around the megamall, what a monsterous place - and got a significant number of raised eyebrows from some hotties - whether they were with a guy or not - and that's always a good boost - as i walked from there to starbucks to wait - i did get a few odd looks from the dudes hanging around the jeepneys, and one guy offered to sell me something 'hey joe, walla ka blah blah blah..." but it felt safe enough with plenty of people around. while i was sitting at starbucks still waiting for my date i stuck up a conversion with a chinese american who is here alone - he basically told me the same good advice - stop being a wus, forge the deal with the cabby up front, and just go - he said he was taking a night off, after having 4 different girls in the 3 days he's been here - apparently, i need to step it up a bit.

i talked with abe the conceirge, and he doesn't want me walking the streets of ortigas at night, ok, fair enough - i asked him about a girl, and his eyes lit up and he instantly referred me to the hotel driver - so bingo x-man - they are going the commission route. and i'm thinking maybe the call center people are giving me the 'too dangerous' bit because they know about wifie at home, so ok, we can keep that on the down low. i don't suppose the girls at the bars matter whether your're married or not - and i did keep that point to myself with the local girl.

i did manage to get the three local hotties back to the hotel room, couldn't separate the girls, so i steared the direction towards sex, and the only player was the hottie cousin - she had deferred to my date all night, except when we got back to the hotel - the sister of course noticed and played gate keeper, my date didn't seem to pick up the vibe but she had definately decided she was going to play good girl and if i heard her say 'it's only the first date'... one more time i was ready to send her back to high school... even the hottie cousin told her to stay, first whispering it but then just coming out and saying it - so when she shook her head no i made an attempt to get all three to *sleep over* with me on the king bed - hey there's enough room, these girls are so petite - but again the only taker was the hottie cousin, who lay down on the bed and started rubbing up her shirt across her nice flat belly - i had to move in closer to that action, at which point and young sister jumped up and said time to go. damn, i was ready to start a family feud, but i wasn't so rude as to throw the two sisters out and keep cousin nellie (wussy move, i know i know - i need to break out of my home mindset).

so my new chinese-american friend is 4 for 3 and i'm 0 for 3. just like the red sox lately. so tomorrow i'll have to step to the plate like david ortiz.

Thanks for the update Bit Farmer. I'm glad to hear you're making progress. Sometimes those online contacts can be a lot of fun and you can experience things you wouldn't have otherwise. I don't really understand some of the guys here who feel like they're wasting time if they don't get their target into bed in the first two hours.

Maybe your date will think twice next time she brings her cousin. I hope you got the cousin's phone number!

Have fun, X

Bit Farmer,

I sent you a PM also.

I have stayed in the Ortigas area many times and have walked around at all hours of the night without ever any fear. Astoria is tucked away a little so I can understand what they were telling you--plus, there is nothing to do late-nights in that area anyways.

San Miguel Ave and Emerald Ave are where the call centers are and those places are really busy all times of night.

Sure there are the malls in Ortigas (Shangri-la Plaza, Megamall, Podium, St. Francis Square and Robinsons), there isn't much to do at nights in that area. For that reason I have moved to staying in the Makati area even though my call center is walking distance from the hotels in the Ortigas area.

As stated by others, Burgos is probably the closest to you. Taking Shaw to Edsa from your hotel shouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes without traffic. Just have the taxi drop you off anywhere and go in to a few places on Burgos. There's also some massage parlors in that area too if you're interested in a "quick" fix.

last weekend i visited manila for the first time in over 10 years. following advice from this thread, i tried edsa entertainment complex. after resisting the aggressive charms of the staff in a few of the bars, i tried casino, which is the first place on the left as you enter the complex. having already decided that i was too tired for a root that night (after a busy couple of days previously), i chatted to a young lady named lea (as in star wars princess lea). at 27 and with one child (she still has a cute little body and no stretch marks), she's a little older than some of the other girls, however she assured me that with experience she has developed superior bj skills! though a 6 in the raw looks scale, her charming and honest personality propels her above 7 or 8 in my books.

i decided to bar fine lea (p 1,000) for what we agreed would be a very relaxing and sexy massage with multiple bbbj for about two hours. back at the hotel, we cleaned up and she gave me a very nice massage (she is a qualified therapeutic masseuse). this evolved into a great bj, long, slow and with lots of variety, just how i like it. her deep throat was great and she did that bj with slippery double handed twist thing like in the porn movies. after one pop, she cleaned me up and cuddled me for a while, so i decided to return the favour. i sucked her very sensitive tits and fingered her pussy until she had a very explosive orgasm, very quiet but she was twitching and rollling around like she was having multiples! after relaxing for a while, it was my turn again, so she gave me another bbbj which evolved into a hj with her straddling my balls in a simulated sex position. this also had the desired result! after some more recovering and a chat, she applied more lotion and gave me a lovely hj, very carefully executed with both hands and with many variations and sensations. yes, i popped again! we had previously agreed to two hours and three pops and she enjoyed meeting the challenge.

this was a very different experience for me. having decided on a lazy no sex session, lea followed our agreed rules and at no time did she attempt to reneg or upgrade. she is very customer focussed and treated the whole session like i was an honoured customer in any other service oriented business. however, it was not mechanical, she put her heart and soul into my pleasure. i gave her the agreed p 2,000 and an extra few hundred taxi fare (she lives one hour from manila and it was very late), well worth it for me. i will look for lea again when i return to manila and i can strongly recommend her for anyone who would rather be thoroughly pampered than play the lottery with the usual selection of cute but unpredictable young bar girls. i suspect that she would also be a sensational root, based on how horny she is and the way she came when i fingered her surprisingly tight little pussy. lea can be easily recognised by her eager smile and laughter, also she has a small beauty spot on the right side of her mouth.
