Cebu Local gives us a story that is a bit far fetched. As much as I appreciate his numerous informative contributions, I find it hard to believe the police would be so out of touch as to raid a high class parlor that was servicing the elite of the city....hmmmm. urban myth?
No so long ago, I posted (Cebu thread) a news article from a newspaper about the raid at a well-known Cebu establishment. Is it still closed?
Just curious. X Man

Just curious. X Man[/QUOTE]Actually I do a lot of business with Air Force 1 as well as Most of the Hotel Concierges send their high end clients there,Since We Travel agents get a generous commision paid promptly and the confidence of knowing our tour groups will never suffer the embarassment of a police raid.You should see the tour buses parked there,sometimes 3-4 of them at one time.The next time you are in Manila,Ask around if you know of Air force 1 ever being raided.You may be surprised by the answers you get from the locals,Ask the Hotel Concierges especially those of the 5 star hotels and out of curiosity Have you visited AF 1???Drop me a PM the next time you are in Manila and I would be more then happy to bring you there as their guest totally free and fully hosted by AF 1 like I did for Crazier 2 weeks ago,
Being in the travel business He needed a "safe"place to bring his tour groups to also.It is more then a MP,The KTV,Club and MP operations employ over 800 women per shift at 2 shifts daily with over 400 support staff.During the last ATF 2 weeks ago in the Philippines,The Laotian and Burmese Tourism Ministers and their support staff were here accompanied by their Philippine hosts.Would the Philippines dare risk an International incident by raiding and arresting them???I dont think so.When Crazier was with me,inspecting the place,The following were inhouse.Several diplomatic staff,a party from the office of the First gentleman,the city Administrator of Paranaque where AF 1 is located,a navy commodore,and at least 3 congressmen and 2 mayors.I think it would have been a career ending move for any cops raiding.You dont screw around with the people of the First gentleman Mr Arroyo.His wife only happens to be THE PRESIDENT OF THE PHILIPPINES.Anyway just my viewpoint and You never know what the future holds,But it hasnt been raided in the last SEVEN years.So I will continue to bring my Chinese,Japanese and Korean tour groups there in forseeable future.Just my personal experiences with them

Hi CL,
I took the post from X-man as saying that he only thought the story about being raided once and the police being scolded or whatever for being so stupid as to raid the place where all their politicians hang out as an urban myth. I certainly didn't think that he was saying that you were telling stories. I think he was saying that the story told to you was a urban myth told for the effect of safety to patrons or for entertainment, as the police would certainly not raid this place as even as ridiculous as the police are sometimes in Manila, they would never make that big a mistake.
Just my two cents on how I read his post.

What is it like for the more mature woman in AC ?
any pics pls.
Philippines HIV cases double over three years Tue Jan 31, 9:49 PM ET
MANILA (AFP) - An AIDS crisis threatens the Philippines as the number of people who are HIV carriers has doubled in just over three years, the health department warned.
A health department study projected the number of Human Im***odeficiency Virus (HIV) carriers to have risen to 11,168, from about 6,000 in 2002, Health Secretary Francisco Duque told reporters.
The widespread practice of unprotected sex makes AIDS a serious threat in the Southeast Asian country, he added.
Many people who are likely living with the virus are mixing with the general population and are unaware that they are infected, Duque said.
Men who have sex with other men, female sex workers, their male clients, and injecting drug users are the groups most at risk, Duque said.
However, these groups account for only 2,942 of the total HIV carriers estimated in the Philippines, said health department epidemiologist Enrique Tayag.
"A significant change in this estimation is that 8,000 of these HIV positives are now found in the general population. This means that current interventions miss a hidden population that would benefit and thus avert a major catastrophe," Duque said.
In the health department survey, one percent of injecting drug users in Cebu, the country's number-two city, are HIV-positive, Duque said.
"For the first time after nearly a decade of surveillance, another IDU (injecting drug user) has tested positive. This means that the transmission among IDUs has begun and, if left unchecked, will cause the repetition of an epidemic similar to that of Thailand," Duque warned.
World Health Organization country representative John Marc Olive said the discovery of HIV-positive injecting drug users should serve as a "red flag" for the Philippines taking into consideration Thailand's experience when those infected by the virus transmitted HIV by sharing needles.
Duque said many injecting drug users had multiple sex partners, did not practice safe sex, and shared needles.
Duque said the government had set aside 20 million pesos (383,000 dollars) to stockpile anti-retroviral drugs for HIV/AIDS sufferers. The virus destroys the human body's im***e system.
"It's a dilemma for the (health department) to have to manage opposition from the (Roman) Catholic Church because it views condoms also as a family planning method and not just a tool against HIV/AIDS," Duque said.
He urged the church to allow the government to promote condom use among the faithful in this mainly Catholic country.
[QUOTE=Cebu Local].Has Edsa ever been closed????All is not always as it appeares to be on the surface[/QUOTE]
Actually it has been raided on several occassions with business "suspended" while the under-age girls were removed. Then it was back to business as usualy within the hour.
A curious post. Are you a mature woman considering a trip to AC ? Slightly more specific questions would probably yeild better results.

Porty, I'm not sure what you are smoking but have you ever been to the P.I.? The wettest months are around August, not December dumbass. December and January are two of the dry months. Same goes to you Wulfe13, get a clue dude. Wait a minute, aren't you the same dude who married your wife after one day? Never mind. :)
You are all right,The Philippines has 4 distinct Climatic zones,But the the Wet and dry seasons vary depending on the region,For example Quezon has no wet or dry season but has rains evenly all year round,Mindanao and Palawan have no typhoons etc..So the wet or dry season will depend on what part of the PI you are in.December and January are dry seasons for Manila,AC etc but wet seasons for Bohol,Cebu etc.Hope this clarifies things
