Angeles City

[QUOTE=Sammon;2787826]That back way is dangerous at night. Lots of trannies hang out there looking to rob I heard. I have walked daytime on that road to get some exercise walking to the casino. The thugs may not do anything to the girl but you will be an easy target. Girl will just walk away.[/QUOTE]The poorly lit sidestreets are better avoided, MacArthur itself is no problem unless you look and behave like a target. I walk it all hours, between Johnny and Diamond, no issues. Balibago area generally fine, just watch out for the streetkids who may try to relieve you of your wallet / phone if you are not paying attention.

Hi. Landed Naia t3 8th Feb around 14:30. Got my luggage out fast and managed to catch thr 15:00 Genesis bus to AC. Fare 380 p. And took about 2 hrs 20 minutes to reach SM Clark. Before that stop they seem to have one stip earlier at CityMall so if your hotel is closer to that one might aswell jump out there. Anyways I stayed in ScoreBirds so no big difference which stop I use. I got out at SM and since weather was nice walked to the hotel.

I never stayed ScoreBirds before only attended the pool parties but I have to say the hotel staff are super nice and helpfull. That plus the restaurant makes it easy to recommend. Only downside my room was facing the Vian st. So could hear all the trikes passing by plus also had a constraction site there also.

Now to the nightlife I can tell I was a bit worried about the quality and quantity of the girls when reading this thread. Luckily things were not as near as that bad. In my 5 days I visited several bars like Goldbar, Penguin, Viking, Shooterz, BadBoy, Rhapsody, Geckos, Lollipop, LaBamba, Lucifer, Carousel and Atlantis (atleast these) and I can tell in all of those bars there was atleast one girl I could have barfined. In most of the bars the girls were drinking SMLight or SmApple so I can definately 100% say that cranberryjuice being the most common ladydrink nowadays is not true. Also I gave drinks to the girls in every bar I went and did not meet a single "drinks only" girl. Every girl was willing to join me but some of them just for ST so those ones were automatically out from my game. From the bar line up my opinion is that Carusel had the best looking Spotlight girls and I spend most of my money and time entertaining them. I barfined a girl every night and damage was 4000 p. And yes they were cute young girls with no kids. In few bars some girls quoted 5000 p. But for my experience 4000 p. Was the new normal.

All in all had fun 5 days there. Nothing much besides pussyprice has changed and my opinion remains the same as always. AC is a great place for me 2-3 days drinking, partying and getting girls guy with my face don't deserve but I would never move permanently there.

I'm currently in Barretto, Olongapo will write my report from here next week.

Btw, how many Koreans did you have to elbow out of the way each night? JK.

Glad you had a great time in AC and weren't scared away by the Negative Shit posts.

Pool parties are back at Score Birds. Every third Sunday of the month.

It looks like the supposed 'new High Society' is open, called Eclipse, west of walking street. By the look of it, it's way less classy than Mega Dance, and fewer hot girls. Which probably means it is more freelancer friendly.

Looked like a little dude got pissed at a big dude and broke a beer bottle on a table to use as a weapon. Fortunate that club bouncers stepped in quickly to control the scene.

Guess I need to put Eclipse on my "must visit" - as soon as I can figure out where to get body armor in Angeles. LOL.

I noticed that too. Have never seen a physical fight or even close to it in all my time in PH so that did seem a bit disturbing.

[QUOTE=Dg8787;2789799]What! There were Cute Young Girls?

Btw, how many Koreans did you have to elbow out of the way each night? JK.

Glad you had a great time in AC and weren't scared away by the Negative Shit posts.[/QUOTE]Yes there are some cute young girls in the bars of angeles unfortunately the cute young girls happen to be on the arm of koreans or hustling for drinks only.

As far as having a good time in angeles city well that depends how fussy one is, drink 20 beers and have the attitude of I must get laid tonight and those beer goggles will help greatly in ones selection and end goal.

For those of us that don't suffer from beer goggle syndrome and might be just a little more fussy in our choice of girls then its almost impossible as a westerner to get near to the better looking, slim, younger girls of angeles.

Member ace kicker has just said in his trip report that most bars have at least 1 girl that in his view was barfinable, to me I see that as a red flag, it means the other 30-40 girls of each bar are not up to standard to want to barfine with.

Last week end barhops I was out with expat friends in the bars, although we had a nice catch up over a few drinks none of us found many girls that we wanted to barfine of the couple that were up to standard they were either sitting with koreans already, were virgins or were only there to hustle drinks and making it rain money.

Would love to see some photos posted to go with trip reports, that way one might have an idea of the quality one is happy to have a good time with.

[QUOTE=NapaSlapper;2789908]Would love to see some photos posted to go with trip reports, that way one might have an idea of the quality one is happy to have a good time with.[/QUOTE]NS, are you talking photos of barfined girls? As in a hotel or resto (outside the bar)? Cameras have been verboten in AC and Burgos bars since before pandemic (possibly close to a decade). Are there bars allowing pics of girls inside? Which ones?

Separately from that, I found multiple barfine-able girls in almost every bar I was in late last year.

After a long drought I am able to make my first big post Covid trip. I am leaning towards the PI (never been there) but part of me is pulling to Colombia (been there, loved it, but been there).

I used to think that if I read enough of the Forum I would know where to go. But these days posts about Colombia say that 1) you will get drugged, 2) you will get underage scammed, 3) you will get robbed at knife point and 4) (this one is true) there are national protests that have shut down Centro Medellin. Doesn't sound very appealing, even though I know young slim Paisas are super hot and the financial expectation in Colombia is much lower than in the PI.

So then I read about the PI and it sounds like if I'm not a thirty something fit Korean none of the cute girls will touch me. What's the point of that? Although I am a Cheap Charlie at heart and will always do my best not to ruin the market for my brothers (that's why I read the Forum), on another level I will be a two week millionaire, and if it's 4000 pesos for a bar fine (much more than in Colombia) if that will get me a hot young (18-22) PiliPina, I don't mind. Let's be clear: while I try to have good hygiene and my shrink says I'm charismatic, girls are only going to be with me for the Benjamins. Is a week in AC a huge mistake for a guy like me? My current plan is a week (or so) in AC followed by a couple days in Makati, then 4 or so days in Sabang followed by a night or two in Ermita before I fly out.

It will cost a lot more than a similar trip to Colombia, but I like small asses, I dislike Scopolamine, new places / adventures are always great and I like things "au natural" which can often be achieved in Colombia for the right price, but is certainly not standard.

Thoughts, gentlemen?

What comes to alchohol consumption mine is pretty much next to zero and out of those 5 days I got myself drunk once.

I think there's been talk about this before but maybe my success doesn't automatically quarantee success for the next guy. All I know is I always treat the girls with huge respect, listen to their worries and generally be as nice as I can. Some of the girls I spoke even told me they always prefer a white dude over korean if they can.

Yes it is true for 1 true beauty there are that 20 not so attractive girls around. I wish there were a larger scale what comes to barfines since I feel it's a bit unfair to the not so pretty ones if their prices are put same level with the beauties.

Sorry for no photos like I said I respect the girls and their privacy plus some of them have become my long time friends even they already gotten old and are happily married with children all around the world.

[QUOTE=ErrolFlynn;2789946]Thoughts, gentlemen?[/QUOTE]For a first time visitor, with only a week (less travel time) it's hard to not recommend AC. Many other places are nicer, have fresher girls, are cheaper etc but you are going to loose days and money getting there and finding your feet etc. Save those areas for subsequent visits, if you decide that you like PI.

Are you going to Sabang for diving? If so, maybe investigate Subic. It's much closer and easier to get to from AC and has very good wreck diving.

Enjoy. G.

Enjoy. G.[/QUOTE]Thanks. I want to go to Sabang mostly for the island / beach vibe which I love. White beach for the sand, Sabang for the tropical small beach town feel (which I know from the Caribbewan) with the plus of six girly bars. If I meet a chivk I want to bring along beforehand that won't matter (but it's doubtful on a brief trip). I have considered Subic. Pre-Covid the bars sounded great, but now they sound mediocre while the beach has always sounbded like shit. I am always open to learning more.

I think I'd kind of enjoy the trip to Sabang. Back when there was a float plane I would have loved that. It sounds like that is no more, but a cab from MNL and a small boat across the channel still sound like fun.

Thanks for any advice.
