Does anybody know anything about Ormoc City (Leyte)?
Paul D,
I am a U.S. Navy short timer myself, having served from '72 through '75. I guess the idea of having entertained the troops in Pagsanjan (I was part of a local rock band) and mostly US Navy servicemen, must have been the reason for choosing that branch of service.
BTW, there's my old dixie cup in the picture.
'Nuf said.
i just came back, wiith my girlfriend, from a diving/beach week-end in batangas, which is about 45 minutes south of tagaytay city. this was my first time in either of these places, but it sure as hell with not be my last. my impressions of the two places are given below:
1. tagaytay city is about 90 minutes (in fairly heavy traffic) south of makati, and it's a nice place with several resorts, enough clubs to be interesting, and some great scenery. there are resorts on both the lip of the taal volcano, overlooking the lake, and on the beach side outside of town, and there are several diving locales. i did not dive there, but i'm told the sites are excellent. this is a great place to go an unwind for a week end, though you will need a car and driver to get there easily. girls are readily available, from what i saw, but it may be better to bring your own from manila as the choice will doubtless be greater.
2. batangas is better still. literally virgin beaches, innumerable small islands, and great coral reef diving, and a depth of 5 to 30 meters. there are two nice diving/[url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord118][CodeWord118][/url] resorts with jet skis, diving equipment, kayaks, and the usual stuff, and the places are beautifully maintained. this is a rich area, with alot of filipino movies stars, senators and other glitterati, but it's surprisingly inexpensive.
there's no night life to speak of at all, so you will have to bring your own lady. but the surroundings, the service, and the other forms of recreation available make this well worthwhile.
:d

GE,
Where did you stay in Batangas? Not planning to do any diving, just rest and chill for 2-3 nights with my girl... Looking for a place with beach, pool and may be a little nite life in the evening.
Thanks for your help.

i stayed in the town of anilao, on the southwestern tip of batangas. i was there with a couple that owns a really nice beach house, so i didn't have the need of a hotel. this house however, was sandwiched between two resorts that looked very attractive. one of these is called planet dive, and the other is called ballai. i only saw these places from the water, but they were both well-equipped with dive boats and gear, jet skis, and speed boats. i didn't see anyone water skiing, but i would imagine it's available.
the water around there is fabulous and even if you don't dive, there's amazing coral that can be appreciated with a snorkel, fins and a mask. i'm not sure about the nightlife in the area. the roads pretty much suck, and most of the coastal residents seem to get around by boat, but it's unbeatable for cooling out.

Myself and 4 other mates are going to hanging out here for a couple weeks. Any action here? or shall we bring our own from AC?
Please help us out.
O.D.

Thanx

Poro Point, between Bauang and San Fernando is basically all freelancers at night, sitting outside the bars. Never partook, just took a trike through there, trying to get to the old AF Base, I gave up. I'd be careful, wasn't comfortable just passing through.
There's also Stiletto's, a bar associated with a resort, never been there either, but you can do a search on Excite.
A few KM south is Bali Hai, nice resort, great food, but a family type place. I love hanging out there for 3 or 4 days.
Couple of massage parlors, one on National Road, about 5 KM north of Bali Hai, kind of grotty, got a good massage there. Theres supposed to be another on the road to Poro Pt, but didn't try it. Next time maybe, hope it's cleaner than the one I tried.
I think the action there is way less than Manila, Cebu or other places in RP.
i am living and working here on a 6 month contract. everyone told me that i would come home with a slutty filipino wife, and frankly, i was looking forward to it. i heard stories from friends about manila and cebu, and it sounded like getting free pussy was available, and pros were very easy to find. then i come here and discover that it’s not the same deal throughout the country. there are 7000 islands in this nation, not all of them are party towns.
iloilo city is a good sized place, but not on the international map, and there are very few white people here. i see a few old men who smell like retired navy guys. this is probably the hometown of the ***** they married in manila, and now that they are retired, they live like dukes here in the provinces. i have seen only one other white guy, a german, who appeared under 40 years old (i am 33 and single). this town doesn’t get tourists, and white people are very alien here.
this means that girls do not approach whites, and probably never kiss one without a wedding date. i work with a lot of filipino girls, and they explain that it’s not about attraction. they may think i am cute, but no girl wants to be literally the very first girl in town to have a white boyfriend. that and my contract ends in june, so without a plane ticket for her, they aren’t going to date me. as my co-workers say, it’s not about me, it’s about them finding a boyfriend after i leave, once she has the reputation of dating whites.
i knew shortly after arriving that i would be looking for pro’s. the short version of what i have found is this:
short time: beach club inn. it’s a short time hotel (less than 150pp for 2 hours) with a low end bar/club thing. there are a few girls singing karaoke, and you can take your pick. naked bbbj, cum on tits, with some feeling up, etc. available for 1000pp, about an hour. i picked pearl, which is the name tattooed on her tit. great body, lame tattoo. i had a good experience, but do not go alone. i highly recommend you have a local friend/guide to go with you. this is a less than savory neighborhood, and a local guy will keep the prices reasonable. i felt totally safe with my guide, but wouldn’t go alone.
actual cathouse: this is a normal house in a residential area, nothing to clue you in that it’s a brothel. we went in and the madame rung down the sleepy girls (2am), and there were about 10 to choose from. not like thailand, they come down in normal street clothes. i got the madame’s number (her card is for avon products), but we didn’t pick any of the girls my one time there. maybe the selection is better earlier, but the best was maybe a 7, and they looked tired. if you want her number, i can send it to you. i think the girls are outcall only, and the madame is a total professional.
strip clubs: this is my primary hunting ground. camp jefferson is well known, but they mama wanted a 4000pp barfine to take the girl home. ha! if you can wait, find a girl there who will see you when she’s off duty, get her number, and set up a visit. a scummier but friendlier club is called, wheels fargo. yeah, i know – great name. again in a skuzzy neighborhood, but not as bad as the beach club. it’s well lit, at least. this club has an on-premises massage clinic, i love that. never taken the massage, as i get a girl at my table, buy her some over priced drinks, and make an arrangement to have her come to my hotel the next day. all the strippers are from other places, so they will be seen with you in public, should you want that. these girls are pretty happy with what i offer (1000pp for basic short time, and an extra 500 if i get to take some pictures), but since i don’t know what anyone else pays, i don’t know if i am over, under, or what. for me, it’s good ass for less than $20us, and i am happy to tip big for pictures.
i work at night, so my mornings are when i like to get some action. i get off work at 10 am, have the girl come over at 11, and send her home around 1 or 2 so i can get some sleep. this is a great arrangement for strippers, since they work nights, too.
hints: first, make sure she likes whites, or foreigners, or whatever you are. there was a smoking hot piece of grade a ass at the wf club, and her panties didn’t come off for me, but she put out to my ***** pal, a local man. racist stripper. so make sure she’s into you. if not, ask her for a recommendation. most girls i found can at least passably communicate in english, but talk slow.
next, be clear up front if you want your dick sucked. most girls do it, but not all. make it clear what you want, and know that you will get it, and what it costs.
local pussy is hairy, so be cool with that.
finally, i haven’t found a provider willing to do anal for any price, but the pussy here is so ridiculously tight that even an ass-hungry monster like me is satisfied with the grip levels found so far.
last point: strippers have to be 18 to dance in this country, but i learned from my stripper that some girls are ****. they are trained to say 18, and stick to the story, but if you are in doubt, ask another stripper. they can be catty, and most girls will tell you the competition's secrets (she’s ****, or, that girl has a kid, etc.) my girl pointed out one on stage who was 15, and while most asian girls look young, you know when they look just a little too young.
i don’t know exactly what the local law’s position on the white american fucking a 16 year old stripper, and i don’t want to know. i figure a best case scenario is a heavy bribe, and the worst case is way beyond anything i want to imagine. 19 year old pussy is a+ grade and so tight you won’t be sure if you can get it out again.
if anyone is coming to town between now and june, drop me a line. good luck. this is a nice place, food is cheap and good, and the nearby island has some cool sea caves to explore.

ps - one of my regular stripper friends is posted in the photo section.
Anyone ever been to the beaches at Camiguin, and if so, how da hell ya get there and where do you stay?
I saw a photo and the thought of a weekend there with a hot babe could be fun.
Anyone? Anyone?
Ricksan
I've been to Camiguin several times, It is fantastic, go climb the volcano, check out diappaering white island etc, the hot springs and the inland lagoon where you can scoop fish and crabs to have them served custom cooked.
You will find people there are the nicest and friendliest in all the Phils IMHO.
Places to stay are mostly run by "foreigners" who live there with Filip wives, there is a resort run by a german guy I stayed at, can't remember the name, just keep going around the island till you find one that is open. I suggest you bring your own booty BYOB as while there are many lovely little creatures on the island they seem shy, no night life or anything either for the pros

I spent three days this week in this area, and it was a first time experience for me. Cagayan de Oro is about 4.5 hours by car from Davao, and about another hour by bus, while "The Islamaic City of Marawi" is about two hours further, from Cagayan de Oro. Marawi is the only city in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, and for that reason alone is fairly interesting.
Cagayan is a city of almost 1 million, not particularly atrtractive to look at, but it's got a pleasant climate, decent hotels, a reasonable choice of restaurants, and about 7 GRO-type strip/strumpet bars. I did not sample, but there's plenty of action there if you want it.
Marawi is a truly Muslim city, and most of the women wear hadscarves. I even saw a couple who were covered head to toe in black, which I've not seen before here in the Philippines. The city's climate is terrific, as the place is nestled in the mountains, the air is dry and a little cool. There is however, zero in the way of nightlife as far as I could see. I stayed in Cagayan so I cannot swear about the absence of night life in Marawi.
As I think I one said about Zamboanga, Cagayan is not any place that you would make a special effort to visit. However, if you have to go there, it's okay for a couple of days.
:D

Hello again Goodenough,
We have spoken before on the other forum. Could you elaborate more on the climates in Cagayan and Marawi? I take it Marawi was cooler? What were the daytime and night time temperatures? Any info on yearly rainfall? Could you describe the restaurants too?
I am planning on visiting Davao and Cebu in August and hope to buy you a beer.
Hi Fred:
I look forward to your trip. We can argue about who buys the beers once you get here. The temperature in Marawi was, I would estimate, about C 20-22 during the day. I was not there in the evening. In CDO it was about C25 during the day and about C21-22 in the evening. Quite pleasant. In CDO, I went to the Dynasty Restaurant which is a large Chinese place. I'm told it has the best Chinese food available in the town, and it was distinctly mediocre at best, but the staff was pleasant. There's also a range of Tex/Mex places though I forget the names,and there are at least two steakhouses. Remember, I was working and really did not get to tour the place. I have no idea what the annual rainfall is in either place. All I can tell you is that it did not rain in either place while I was there.
Getting to CDO from Davao is quite simple, and there are comfortable, air conditioned buses that depart on a regular schedule. I'm told the trip by bus takes 5.5-6 hours. I assume there's regular transportation available between CDO and Iligan and between Iligan and Marawi.
:D

Thanks Goodenough.
Cool weather, Tex-Mex food, and in the Philippines. Sounds like a place I would want to be. I will have to find time to check it out.
