[QUOTE=Gilberto]I am writing for the first in this forum and I hope somebody can help me. I will soon go for a trip to Manila, Boracay and around Puerto Galera. I am into massages with skilled hj and possibly bbbj. I have been many times to Bangkok and I love those Japanese-Korean places where you get a scrub and a good performance but saying that a nice relaxing couple of hours of oil massage will do. How much would it cost. I presume that in Manila will be no problem but what about Boracay? Does somebody have some suggestion? maybe name places or of nice girls. Next time I will contribute from my part since I am a bit of an expert[/QUOTE]

Manila, no problem.
Boraycay? Its an island of a few resorts. Girls are BYO but you might get lucky.
Puerta Galera, I dont have ant first hand (ahem) knowledge :)

Yes, Boracay is BYO and if you will just do a search for "Puerto Galera" on this thread you will find some pretty good recently posted info.

While there has been a proliferation of massage places in the PI, including ones claiming to offer what Po, IMHO you are going to the wrong place for what you seek. Even Manila will likely disappoint you.

You are way better off sticking to Thailand. You might find a good one in PI but much more hit or miss. Better to stick with Ratchadaphisek area of BKK (or Second Road in Pattaya).

ISG members have reported that Borocay is a tourist trap long ago. Just in case you didn't believe us:

Hornygeorge,
I flew from Guangzhou direct to Laoag. They have an international airport but it only has one gate. I am not sure about inbound or outbound airtraffic into that airport but I could see that planes were landing there several times a day as the hotel is in the flight path. Friday and Sunday flights only from Guangzhou is what I have been told.
Hope this helps.

[QUOTE=Gilberto]I am into massages with skilled hj and possibly bbbj. I have been many times to Bangkok and I love those Japanese-Korean places where you get a scrub and a good performance[/QUOTE]The best place for what you are looking for is Ginza, on Quezon Avenue in Quezon City (across Punchline). You get an excellent massage and guaranteed extra service (HJ, rarely BJ). The best attendants will give you a special 2 hands massage of your private parts while you lay on your belly and it's masarap.

Best numbers by my experience: 7, 10, 12, 15, 24, 82, 105 with 82 being by far the prettiest and 7, 10 giving BBBJ. Others may not be that pretty but very skilled.

You will have difficulty finding other places like it in Manila. Usually, in places setup to give you extra service the massage is bad or non-existent, and in places where you get a good massage you can't be sure you'll get extra service. Ginza is one of the few exceptions to that rule and the best among them.

I hope you'll have fun with that - in return I would appreciate some tips on similar Japanese-Korean places in Bangkok or Pattaya. Thanks.

I am thinking about going to Laoag. How big is the Casino?

Also, how is the mongering in Laoag.

Amen.

The Manila massage parlors are not even in the same league with the ones in Thailand. In Thailand it is an art form.

Thanks Taster for some good info on Camiguin. Still not sure I'll make it, especially since work obligations now mean my vacation is shorter.

I do hope to go to Leyte though. Never been there, so does anyone have any info that hasn't already been given. My plan is Superferry to Ormoc and stay at the San Felipe Hotel, which i understand is at the downtown waterfront. I have some chat friends in Maasin, baybay, and Tacloban, but not sure if its worthwhile or necessary to leave Ormoc.

[QUOTE=Hornygeorge]Batman: are there direct flights to Laoag from HK? PAL used to fly to Laoag from Hawai but no more. Looking to go to Illocos without having to go through Manila.

Xman: About Camiguin:

TAKE THE PLANE. Trust me on this. The other route is a major pain in the you know what that takes almost a full day versus a 30 minute flight to Mactan. Bring a girl with you. Stay longer than 3 days. Camiguin is one of the PI's best kept secrets. Because there is ZERO p4p action there and few ISG members will ever go there, I can discuss it on this board.

Leyte: VERY boring nightlife, really none to speak of. The most religious island in all the PI I think. Absolutely loaded with sweet girls, almost all of whom are VERY friendly with ANY foreigner they see (not many). The good diving in at the South end of the island, not by Ormoc.[/QUOTE]

Getting to Camiguin, if you were Manila how would you choose to get there?

Also is Paras Beach Resort the best hotel on the island if one wanted to be close to town?

SEAIR has a web site with schedule. I think you have to go to Cebu for the flight.

If you have a long holiday, I suggest going to CDO first. It's a nice little city.

X I've never been to Camiguin,

The SEAir flight leaves MWF mornings about 9am from Cebu to Mambajao Airport on Camiguin. You can take the 6am PAL or Cebu Pacific flight from MNL then connect in Cebu but better to overnight in Cebu IMHO as that lets you get to the airport at a more civilized 8am. Days Hotel is 2 minutes from airport and $50 on asiatravel.com, or if you got bucks stay at the 5star Waterfront hotel next door to the airport.

X: Only know Maasin and South, not Ormoc or Baybay.

Thanks vato

Nice little spot with very good food and the best single malt collection in PI. The owner is Tom a Canadian who built the place with his local wife. Very popular with local expats because of the food and staff great, a couple of cutie waitresses Just up the beach from Paras.

They have about a dozen cottages, and a dive shop We stayed for a few days, a group of us had a rent a car out of Cagayan so drove then took the ferry to the island. I visited the island 20 years ago, still a great place. No chicks, bring your own from Cebu or Cagayan.

Weyco: Tom is a class act, and Secret Cove is much quieter than Paras Beach Resort (whose Kareoke bar is about as wild as the nightlife gets) but no pool or real beach (rocky). Even though he has some babes on staff, as you note Camiguin is a place to bring a girl (not a place to find one).
