I plan to be around for that.
[QUOTE=Goferring;2795855]You're correct but didn't include one important point. Burgos tips are substantial. We're not talking a couple of hundred like AC. Often a pretty girl will expect a LT tip more than the original barfine. In your timeline, girls started off happy with 2500 to 3000. Now she will expect double that. That's where the Burgos price increase has been: The gross price has gone from 7 k to nearly 10 k. The concept of the barfine being partly consumable has also gone so you can add lady and regular drinks to that too. Your night is going to be a solid 10+k.[/QUOTE]Good points. It bears mentioning that all burgos gogo girls now ask a minimum tip equal to 5000*. Most are agreeable to discount that. The 5 k is just an asking amount. Hotties mentioned to me 6000 when I asked, and one mentioned 7000. Even the fuglies want 5000 tip. However that is a starting point and for most girls its easy to mention 1 k less and she will probably agree quickly. That's since the bars re-opened a year ago. These numbers are p1000 higher than the 2010-2020-ish tip requests.
Pre-covid, 2010-ish to covid start, barfines about p3900. I found the minimum asking amount was 4000 tip, negotiable down 1000 (or sometimes more). Hotties insisting on 6 k tip and not negotiating.
Prior to the barfine increase of 2010-ish. Barfines of 2700, and tip requests were 2500 for fuglies, 3000 for most gals, and 4000 for hotties.
So yes, in most instances, you could simply double the barfine amount and arrive at a rough estimate of the girl's costs. Those consumables started disappearing around 2015, one bar at a time.
For the entire pre-covid era, I was able to get many girls to confess that they often were willing to cut their initial tip request amount in half for a later ST. If she was asking a p4000 tip for a barfine, she was usually willing to go for a later afternoon date ST for 2 k or 2500.
* I went into Lips one Saturday evening, upstairs. A mama led me to a small booth on the side of the (pole) dance area and started shooing several girls out of it for me. I feigned needing to piss and waddled off to the CR, walking the long way around the dance area, slowly, taking in a multitude of girls. Easily 50, and half a dozen stuck out to me as so fugly that I thought: Not even with my beer goggles on! When I returned to my booth the mama was still waiting there for me, and sent a waitress off for my rum / coke, chatting me up for a bit and making sure that I got the drink. The place was jumping. There were several girls in the booth next to mine. The mama grabbed a hottie from the end and stood her up. I thought great, she's going to sit a hottie with me and I should buy her a LD. But no. The mama then grabbed the next girl in the booth, a fuglie, mid-30's and heavier than me, with a face that could sink Chinese war ships, and shoved the fugly in the booth next to me. Then the mama shoved the hottie back into her original booth. F*ck me, do I have RUBE written on my forehead?
The girl was the worst. She had her legs and arms crossed like she was cold. Awful attitude. It was her first nervous night in the bar. The usual hard-luck covid story. Angry at the men who'd effed her over before. I bought the fuglie a drink anyway. I asked her if the girls had talked to her about barfining. "Yes of course". Are you available (I was asking in the academic) to barfine? "Yes". How much tip do you want for a barfine? "5000". Its hard to hear that, as the pretty girl that didn't sit with me probably would have said 6 k. She's not the first fugly that mentioned 5 k to start. Are you willing to accept 4 k tip? "No never". As I was just out perving anyway: Waitress, BILL PLEASE! I went downstairs and perved with a cutie.
Fuglies in Alibi and (the now defunct) Lion's Pride bar also asked for 5 k tips.
One day, a decade or two going forward from now, someone in the Makati thread is going to write: "Effing they raised the Burgos barfines again. 12 k barfine and 15 k tips. And LD prices went up. Remember when the barfines were p3900 and tips were 5 k? We thought we'd died and gone to heaven!" Or something like that.
10 K for a ST in PBurgos?
Hello, I continue to read this thread every day. Thank you all for the reports and information.
In July, I will be in Angeles City, but my first night in the Philippines will be spent in Makati near P. Burgos. What do you recommend for me to have company on that first night? Should I hire a freelancer or should I check out the bars in P. Burgos and barfine someone? I'm reading the latest posts and it seems like they're asking for a lot of money for a short-time in the bars. 10 K total for a short-time? Or am I mistaken?
Thanks again for the information and responses.
