I've been here 3 days now and I've spent almost the whole time with my girl here that I've known for a year. I have tried to keep my mongering eyes open even though I'm not free to hunt myself.
We went to the Xcite live band bar across the street from Dynasty Court Hotel. Even though we were pretty early there were still a couple of tables of office girl types. They looked approachable enough and I would like to have tried. This place usually has pretty good bands so it's good to hang out even if you don't connect with anyone.
Cagayan is a college town so the malls and the streets are a parade of eye candy. I consider this place like a smaller version of Davao. There are lots of possibilities to chat up a girl from here on the internet and then have her ready and waiting for you when you arrive. For example, the girl I'm with now met me last year after just one exchange of e-mails. You may also find someone after you arrive but that will usually take time and a good approach.
The bar girl scene exists in a way but it's really just a last resort. The prices are higher and the quality is lower than in Angeles, Manila, etc. Also, it's mainly a scene for local guys.
I'm staying in the Pryce Plaza Hotel. Depending on the season and how busy they are you can pay anywhere from 2000 to 4000 for a room with a great view of the town and beyond. I find a good view helps a girl to get horny. Unfortunately this place, like so many others in this country, suffers from neglect and is falling apart one shower head at a time. Dynasty Court is good and centrally located though it doesn't have a pool or a gym. I stayed at Country Village Hotel the first night because the Pryce was full. But it's also falling apart and the shower didn't really work. It's also not a good location.
Sad to say the Davao-Cagayan flight I used the last 2 years seems to be out of service for now. Asian Spirit still has flights to Cebu for 2200. There are lots of flights to Manila for about 3500 or so, less if you catch a good promo.
I'll try to find out more places for good hunting before I go.
Here are some places where hunting may be done. Sorry I didn't get to try anything out for myself because I was mostly well cared for by my local chat girl. But these are places that looked promising or where I got lots of eye contact from the eye candy.
I spent a couple of weeknights around a cluster of shops called 'The Site.'
The name would seem to be a ripoff of The Venue in Davao, but really there is no comparison. Most of the places here are coffee shops and restaurants. There's just one live band place upstairs. On the weeknights it was an acoustic band doing mellow stuff like Norah Jones tunes. I didn't see any girls to hit on either of these nights. But it might get going over the weekend. Also, I hear they have parking lot parties here sometimes.
Xcite bar, which I mentioned in the last post, was closed on Sunday and Monday.
Divisoria Street: This is the boulevard like strip in the middle of town that has a lot of fast food joints. On weekend nights the traffic is blocked off and it becomes a huge block party with lots of food stands and what not.
Home Court Bar: This is one of the strip bars mentioned by GE a while back. I went in here one night after I sent my girl home, and had a talk with the mama san. It's really not a very appealing scene, with about 30 guys ogling only one dancer at a time. A FEW of the dancers are seriously good looking, others are fairly repulsive. The mama san said that 185 pesos gets you 30 minutes to talk to one of the dancers (like a Japanese hostess bar, but cheaper). You can also get a private room for 1500 pesos, which includes lots of drinks. There you can negotiate with the girl for whatever action you want. When they aren't dancing, the girls are waiting in a fish bowl in the back where you can check them out and choose. Finally, you can bar fine for 3000, take the girl home and negotiate for her cut. This is the only bar of this kind that I visited, but I have a feeling the others will be something similar. So you can see it's not worth a special visit to Cagayan for any bargirl scene.
I also saw a few street walkers around, some of them not entirely awful looking.
Good Italian restaurant: Go straight out the door from Dynasty Court, cross the street, keep going straight for about 100 feet. It's run by an expat Italian.
Stuff to do when you're not......There's white water rafting for 1200 per person. Besides that there is the usualy mall and movie stuff. The beaches are just outside of town with some of that dark sand.
So to sum up Cagayan, it's a great place for a GFE with a girl that you've been chatting with for some time, or with a girl that you meet here and court for a day or two. If you are really stuck and needy then the bargirl stuff exists for a higher price and lower quality than more well-known locales.
Taxis from the airport to town are about 120 or so. From Pryce Plaza to town about 50.
I haven't experienced or heard of a hotel that's not guest friendly. The Pryce Plaza is, well, prycey and not so central. But I like being away from all the damn traffic noise and diesel fumes. And I like having a gym and a pool.
I just returned from a couple of days in the wilds of Zamboanga, and saw Mahku's post regarding CDO. I wish he had had the chance to check out the club called Badda Bing, and the one directly across the street, and had written his impression of those as well. I think the perceptions might have been slightly different, though maybe not.
As I've said before, there's no reason for anyone to go to Zamboanga as an end destination. However, if you're stuck there, it's not altogether a bad place. There are lots of small KTVs, none of which is worth the effort, but there are two clubs: Kiss Me and Love Disco, which are not too bad. These are not up market venues, and nowhere near the standards you would find in Manila, but they are friendly, they do feature strip teases and there are lots of women if you're looking for a quick good time. You will probably be the only expat in any of these places as Zamboanga does not attract many foreigners.
There are only three hotels in which it's reasonably safe for foreigners to stay: the Sky Park, which is small and in the center of town, and where I usually stay. The Lantaca, which is an old colonial-style place out by the sea, and the Royal Orchid, which is near the airport. There's nothing at all happening in these hotels, but the staffs are pleasant, the rooms are clean, if not luxurious, and the security is good.
There are few if any taxis cruising the streets in Zamboanga, but you can get one sent to your hotel, and can keep the taxi for about PhP150 an hour. This is definitely the way to go. Otherwise you will be stuck at some horrible hour, riding a tricycle back to your hotel, which is both slow, uncomfortable, and makes you potentially vulnerable.
:D

I should be in Zamboanga Sunday. What are the chances of getting my head chopped off? Also, we have been invited to sail Sulu. Now, the locals tell me this is suicide, ok for the, but for a white hunk like me, chop chop time. True?
DOmino,
WTF are you doing in head chopping country? Get back on the boat! "Never live the fucking boat, never.."!

Unless you have security and lots of it,This is suicide ,I visited Tawi Tawi before as the guest of the Governor,He assigned 12 bodyguards all packing M-16 so,I was fine,but alone.......
I go to both Sulu and Tawi-Tawi because I have to go there, and I'm never without armed guards. Going there without security is risky. You would probably be okay, but you would stand out immediately, and word would get around that there's a white guy in town. It's a silly risk to take since, aside from the natural scenery, which is quite beautiful, there's nothing much to see or do. Jolo is not much of a town amd it's about the best you can find in Sulu, and the hotels suck.
I would advise, unless you want to go just to say you've been there, to stay away.

If you ever run into Governor Matba of Tawi Tawi,tell him that the Hotel owner from Cebu does not think,Tawi Tawi will ever be viable for a dive resort,not as long as you need gunboats to go out with every diveboat.I agree beautiful scenery But.....Cheers CL
I am on a mission from God. And I got off the fucking boat a long time ago. Split from the whiole fucking program. Zamboanga and environs is ok but the islands seem to dicy and not for the reasons you think.
Domino,
Yep, you split from the program and I'm glad you did. Just don't get off the fucking boat in the wrong places...
Tawi sounds like a great place to develop "trigger happy tours" concept for that guy who loves to play paint ball except this time with real bullets. Can't beat that. Real Bullets Vacations. A simple liability waiver form will do. Please sign here and go have some fun...:D

I need to go there in a couple of weeks, and I'm not looking forward to it at all. Domino, you can have my spot on the plane if you want it.I'll just stay in Zamboanga and hang out at Kiss Me.Things are a might tense in Mindanao at the moment due to the elections today in parts of Muslim Mindanao. So far, there have been no problems, but there is an undercurrent of tension that's palpable.
Davao of course, remains calm, and there's no tension here at all.
GE
GE: I would be delighted to take your seat on the plane and I would even buy you a skank or a beer in return. Sailing is dangerous as those fuckers can outpace us and outgun us of course. But flying in seems a laugh. Count me in. And just give me some hardware. The rest doesn't matter.Anyway Muslims like me:) And so do theit women. Maybe I can convert them after I bonk them. Maybe not.
Right now, we are doing sporadic raids on Mindanao ports, well away from our Muslim autonomous friends. Most places have quasi rlds, Davao being the exception where they are everywhere. Our MO is to hang out with the homeless, discuss MacArther, the gallant Japanese forces and bonk them. Prices are rock bottom and before anyone says boo, I am giving away more money than I am spending on bonking. It pisses me off, hurts my sensibilities to tal;k to a 40 year old, 6 months pregant with her 7th, by here 2nd husband, aged 27, homeless and broke,
I am considering either El Nido Lagen or Club Noah Isabelle. What do people recommend?
Also, my GF will be with me, but, just in case, does anyone know if the massage either place is full service?
