Angeles City

[quote=dcand4]i heard that champayne bar got closed do to not having proper license for one of the girls. anyone know about this? of course i am interested for this is one of my favorite hangouts.[/quote]there have been a series of "inspections" done by the barangay in ac in the past two weeks or so (this only applies to fields ave as perimeter is located in a different barangay even though it is only a short distance from fields).

the reason behind these "inspections" are they are trying to extort money from the bars by telling the bars that in order for the girls to work in the bars they must have a barangay clearance certificate (which costs p50, not a lot of money to a foreigner, but to the girls it is). at first many of the bars said no to paying for this, but once the "inspections" started the bars changed their minds rather quickly and either the bar or the girls paid the extortion fee to get the clearance certificate from the barangay. (i call/term it extortion because my reading and interpretation of the law with regards to this issue is that it is illegal for the barangay to "require" this and as supporting evidence of its legality, acta (angeles city tourist authority) is also having their legal council look into this matter.

what generally has happened to cause a closure is that they barangay and his cronies go to a bar and ask the bar to produce the "proper" paperwork for all of their girls (meaning they want to see the barangay clearance certificates) if they fail to produce the certificates (which most bars did not originally have) they threatened to close down the bar. the threats were null and void as anytime any type of "authority" figure visits a bar, the girls of the bar rep001ter and leave and in most cases do not return that night (the reasoning of this is [i'm quoting/summarizing from a girl who works in an ac bar and has previously experienced a "raid" or "inspection"] is that they are scared of what will happen as the girls who have had the traumatic experience before have informed to the others what they have experienced and the other girls who have been lucky enough to never have experienced it are determined to not experience it, thus they rep001ter when "authorities" visit. so the bottom line is that it is really not the barangay closing the bar, but rather the bar choosing to close themselves for the night as they usually have no girls (or in a rare instance, very very few girls) that are still there to work for the rest of the night.

there are other "authorities" that are currently present in ac that some feel are alarm for concern i will post about this in a separate/new thread.

The new AC is alive and well, at least for the corrupt "authorities". One of these groups, known as the "jojo" group. They have been for weeks now after the bars with some ridiculous demands. They are currently demanding that the bars (and all foreign owned businesses) pay P3 MILLION per month and no receipts will be given. The "jojo" group states that failure to pay the P3 MILLION will result in bars being raided and shutdown.

Prior to this DEMAND, the "jojo" group wanted the following:

1. All establishments to pay 10% on all EWR's.
2. All establishments to pay 10% of all Ladies Drinks.
3. All establishments to pay P5 on all Customer drinks.
4. All establishments to pay P5,000 in addition per month.

Of course the bars told them where to stick this DEMAND

This is the same group that hiked the hygiene fee and still no receipts have been issued with the higher price on them, still the old number/figure is given (if it is given at all).

On many other websites, this information can be verified, so I stand behind this post.

Does this mean there is cause for concern? That is not for me to determine, it is (imo) and should be a determination that each individual should make for themselves. I will say that the next few weeks should tell a lot about what will happen or the direction that AC is headed towards.

Hi,

Was this fella wearing a RED jersey?

On independence day right?

[QUOTE=Blink157]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...

Let me just continue with my report before I lose it. Given my age hope you understand.

4th Night. Well today was again a day of rest. Joined my friends about 11-ish after sending my girl back. Friend2 was returning early to Singapore to catch a flight to Perth. That left just the 2 of us.

After lunch and some rest we headed towards Perimeter to check out the action there. Walked up to ABC Hotel and checked out the hotel. Nice. Didn't see much beyond so decided to backtrack. Stopped for a haircut (S$2. 40 ha! )before stopping at this small bar at about 5. Edelweiss. Only about 6 dancers, some ok, some really not ok. By now we had developed a modus of walking in to a bar, making a quick check of the goods and beating a hasty retreat if the scene was not promising. We would have done the same here. But what made us stay was the sudden switch to Indian music. This was the absolute first time and we decided to have a drink and enjoy the music. Of course we the only 2 guys at the bar.

As we sat drinking our beer talking to the mama, I spotted this cute little number with a black dot on her forehead. I don't know how many of you guys have heard of Aishwarya Rai, the former Miss World and present Indian Bollywood actress. She has also acted in a few English movies. Well there was this girl in this small bar along Perimeter Rd who bore a striking resemblance to her! The sooner I pointed this out to my friend, he bought her a drink and got her beside him, the bugger.

Just then the mama brought another girl, not in bikini but in jeans and t-shirt to me. She said that this girl was the other girl's sister. At first I thought yeah, right. But then I looked closer and I could see the resemblance as well.

Would you believe it, 2 sisters who looked like a former Miss World and we had them for company. With our kind of music to boot! Unbelievable.

My friend wanted to barfine his girl (younger sister) but she claimed that she was having menses. The poor guy, without the benefit of the info on this forum actually believed her. For me, I was just contented to enjoy the scene.

And it was a pretty good scene. Younger sister was really wild one. She made all the noise, was pretty showy. At one stage she took off her top, poured her drink on her tit and made my friend lick it off. Seeing me watch, she treated me to a drink on her other tit. Wild! Not to be outdone, elder sister then went on the bartop and started dancing in her jeans. For added titilation she too lifted up her top to give us a good look. And boy could she move. We stayed there about 2 hours and only left when more people started coming in. The rest of the night was pretty uneventful compared to Edelweiss.

Well, now to answser some questions. I stayed at the Pacific Breeze. Great hotel, great pool. And yes, its open through the night, I believe. We swam after midnight. My friend swam after 2am on the last night.

Subic. We only went to the bay where the beach is poor. Very little attraction. Had lunch at an expensive seafood restaurant where the food was average and the service the worst I've experienced in the Philippines. But there was a frisbee competion on and the girls in the bikinis looked good. If you could avoid looking at the unfriendly looking hunks that is.

We went to Subic by a long route. Jeepney to local bus station, waited in vain for 1. 5 hrs for the local express, gave up, took another jeepney to San Fernando, caught a private van to Olangopo, then jeepney to Subic. Unbelievably hot weather. Negotiated and got a private to bring us back to AC. Won't do it again, if ever.

Hi guys,

I am planning a trip to Angeles City and need some advice. I was thinking of flying from Hong Kong directly to Clark using Cebu Air. I have been told that this could be a bad idea as Cebu Air is notoriously late and unreliable.

I don't want to miss my connection in Hong Kong so this concerns me. Does anyone have any info on Cebu Air, or travel from AC to HK? I greatly appreciate any advice provided.

[QUOTE=Vibrations]Was the guy wearing a red jersey?[/QUOTE]

PS yes on the PI independence day/Monday

Hi,
nice report Acfreddy, but corruption is normal in the Phils and thats Pi style how to get money out of the foreigners...and to think about how to get money out of them..
Seems to be that the golden years are over and bars have to pay the price now...on my last visit this weekend I found fields quite empty...but that doesnt prevent me from barfine a nice gurl there and we will go to subic next weekend...
Of course Im also mad if those assxxles and whatever their name is behave like this..Maybe they want to milk the cow until no more milk is left.

I suggest move the bars to Olangapo LOL, or maybe La union..so koreans can buy expensive drinks for the gurls and can still sing in their karaoke joints in friendship and pay the cops over there :D and the rest of the 3000 gurls can entertain us where "authorities" maybe not too greedy for the start and welcome the new dollar /euro flow and bars can make up and earn again..

Of course the new built hi way to AC would be useless, cause nobody wants to go there LOL and when arriving at the PI NAia I seldem spot any "families or couples" arriving there...So , lets face it guys....Philippines missed the big grow after the 1980...Ermita was shot down by this chinese Idiot Lim who caused billions of dollars which now flow into Thailand and other asian locations.......Enough aint enough...if you give money to them its never enough...I ask my ex pampangan GF once..she says , yes , its not enough its never enough cause you foreigners have many money and thats why its never enough, we want allways more..


Anyway, I will enjoy AC until its last and because I live here I have enough pussy to get into my bedroom....I dont need AC, dont need bars, dont need gurls....BUT THEY NEED ME!!


Happy day to all

Well said, I also enjoy AC every time, but if the greedy guys ruin it,
I don't care, enough other places in SEA available and waiting for money.

Cheers!

Devo[/QUOTE]You could try using Tiger Airways who fly from Macau to Clark. It is a lot easier than it first sounds and is my preffered route. From Hong Kong you can remain airside without going through immigration and catch the special bus down to the ferry terminal. 5 mins. Then the ferry goes to Macau. 45mins. Taxi from Macau ferry port to Macau airport. 5 mins. Piece of cake.

I guess it depends a bit on timing as Tiger, I think only have one or two flights a day. If the timings right I think it's by far the easiest and cheapest way to get from Hong Kong to Clark.

Blink[/QUOTE]Yes it is the usual style for the AC, but it has just gotten worse and worse and worse over the past few months. They "extortionists and "jojo" group are seemingly going to milk the bars until there are no more bars. Classic case of what I term to be Filipinoitis (which is where they take a knowingly loaded gun, point it at their feet, pull the trigger, blow their foot off and then complain/***** to the entire world that it was not their fault). I understand that they live and think for the second with no consideration for the future whatsoever, but the potential is certainly there for many to lose their "playground" and that imo just sucks.

I agree and like your suggestion and there are many bars that are seriously considering moving operations to that area (subic and surrounding areas). There are also a few newer bars in that same area and I expect that there will continue to be more new bars opening there in the future as well. Not as many as in AC, but certainly more than there currently are now.

Excellent example of the local pamangan thinking/logic. It is so very true that they think and live their lives like this.

I am in the same boat as you, I live here as well and the bars certainly need me more than I need them. I have my favorites and those bars have earned it by treating me right the first time and every time since then that I visit them.

Like it or not the new AC is vastly different than just a years ago and all sings point to that it will continue on this (imo) downward trend, but there are other places in SEA to go to and/or live in, so all is not lost.

Devoman, on my recent trip I used Cebu Pacific for one return trip domestically, not internationally.

It was within 10 minutes of schedule on both legs. Perfectly adequate.

However if you look at the blogs at [url]www.tripadvisor.co.uk[/url], under 'Philippines', there are some negative comments about late running on occasion.

The airline's fares seem generally quite cheap and I have never had a problem, but take the time to read these blogs to see if you agree with me.

Nobody flies from HKG to CRK at this time. From HKG you must fly to MNL then take a bus or taxi for the 2 hour (or so) ride to Angeles.

Cebu Pacific is OK; yes delays are not unusual but the bigger hassle is buying a ticket outside the country. US or UK credit cards will not work on their website so you must call (Manila or Cebu so not cheap) and expect long hold times. They do not interline baggage either.

Check out PAL and if the price is not much different (sometimes there is no difference in cost, other times it is a big difference), take PAL instead. Both have 3 flights a day.

OasisHongKong used to fly the route, and may still, but getting tickets or info online has proved impossible.

Yes there are departure delays but other domestics flying out of Manila airport for instance suffer these delays also. I dont have a problem with their service or aircraft & their prices are very good if you book well ahead.
