A tip about so-called "new bars"
Don't get so enamored with any new bars that open. Generally, they are stocked with "old fish" from other ponds. Yea, it is fun to stop in and check out the new bars as they open, but they are not the wisest place to find your "picks". They rely on your naivete to make quick dollars.
You are buying the expensive lights and hot sound systems for these guys. Also, the extra makeup that the girls wear. It is all about getting your money as fast as possible, for as little effort as possible. Think about it, wouldn't you?
US guy handcuffed from Brgy cops...
Hi,
yesterday I witnessed about an US guy, propbl Marine, was handcuffed and taken into custody from those yellow dressed Brgy cops, which I saw the first time in fields. This happens infront of Atlantis around 9pm when I was on my national day evening barhop.
However I didnt arrived when it started. All I can say the young guy was involved in some trouble with locals.He pointed to them that they start the fight. He was a quite tall guy, 6 foot something and trained. He was forced to stand on their car and súrrouned by those yellow brgy cops holding sticks in their hand. Papasan of atlantis made some pictures and told me its harrasam. Cops looked quite angry and tackled the guy allways, pushed him against the car and provocate him. At this time he shout he is american and he need help and he dont want trouble. Another guy next to me had allready another opinion on this, he told me the Guy (us) was an asshole and was taken down now, he would do it himself but he was to big for him..
This all came to an end when they guys tackled and provocted him again, he wanted to free himself punshed some guys but then was handcuffed from "10 guys" taken into the car and brought somewhere...Cops arrived later , questioned somebody for a minute and hurried up to chase the car. I wasnt quite sure what was all about this. Cops were cheered by the crowd..The brgy cops were very agressive and Im sure if I would interfere I would be taken also just for showing up and question all this...
Of course there are many ass...les in AC and I met a new assh..le evry day, question is , you dont have to shoot them....happend recently with a barowner, neither if they admit their mistakes you dont need to harrass them, punsh them or do other things.
The inicident left a bitter taste on me. I was thinking if I run into trouble, nobody would help me also, cause Im just a fuc..n foreigner with no rights, just to spend money here and even that would put me in trouble.
Thats one reason I dont live in AC and after this I realized in what world we living. Philippines is a fu..ckn police state...
Not sure wht happen to the guy...mabe we can read it later somewhere...

Angeles City's Newest Hotel : The Lewis Grand
Had the pleasure of staying at this property last month and it was very enjoyable indeed! Hard to miss this hotel located on Don Juico Ave., perfect for visiting the Perimeter Road bars.
Although not 100% complete, I got the full tour by Sir Lewis, a great host by the way. He is putting the finishing touches on what will soon be the place to stay in AC.
Spent three days in a deluxe king room that featured LCD flat screen TV, king size bed, waterfall shower and massive wood storage cabinets with in room safe.
Every room comes complementary with breakfast of your choice for two but since the dinning room was not quite finished, we were served breakfast in bed!
Overall service was top notch, like something you would expect from a five star hotel. The hotel should be in full swing by the end of the month.

Nice... but how much was the damage?
What was the net charge on this?
Thanks!
