EQ.[/QUOTE]You love or hate Angeles depends on your experience. Cannot go by what others say. But you need to experience Angeles at least once in your life. If you are booking hotels always call the hotel directly and book. If you pay cash they give 10 percent discount. Also if you book for three days and want to leave after one day they will let you without penalty.

[QUOTE=Goferring;2416363]I'm the other way: I need to tap out after 3 days in AC but can easily spend a week in Manila.

Other options don't need to be close if they have many flights per day. An hour flight can be much quicker than driving across Metro Manila.[/QUOTE]Hear, hear, I feel exactly the same. My trips always have the first & last 3-5 days in Manila because the pool of fish is so plentiful. Then off to random provinces for some real vacation / exploration with hopefully some 'dates' involved! The 1 hour flights are dirt cheap too.

[QUOTE=Dg8787;2415829]Welcome. Go to reception / information desk, tell them your medical needs and they will direct you to the right doctor.[/QUOTE]So, feedback on medical center, could be useful for others, very efficient globally despite tons of papers used by all people here. Be there at 9 am Monday morning, ask for a specialist at information desk, had the meeting at 9:30,2 k PHP, written prescription and blood analysis to do.

Did blood analysis at 10, results to be delivered 5 days after at same place. Cost.

3 k PHP.

Medics delivered in the onsite pharmacy, costs 5 k due to one medic considered as costly.

No personal health insurance for abroad, but need to check with my national health insurance how they take that in account.

Globally very efficient, was finished before 11 am.

Brand new, across the street (Luna St) from Century Mall, Gramercy (I had my back to the Gramercy Residences literally taking those pics), next to Trump Tower, Knightsbridge and Milano Residences and A-Venue. Anyone tried the place?

Hi gents,

Is there any Corona Virus issue applying by NAIA immigration for the incoming visitors from Thailand? Since it became world threat and Thailand also in the list. Recent update would be much appreciated.

I just got to the Milano last night, it's very nice. I've been a long time member of this board, but never posted for various reasons. I feel compiled to advise everyone to stay away from Malate, or anywhere in Phils that the Chinese gather in numbers. After arriving in manila last Thursday, I stayed in a condo by Greenbelt, and proceeded to come down with a bad cold. SOB. I only had one night of sex with a smoochi girl, huge tits and a lot of fun! So, I checkout yesterday, I already reserved a room at Malate Bayview Mansion 2 months ago figuring I'd check out the Malate seen, wrong. LOL. I arrive to the mansion, go through the entrance, and a security had had a handheld laser temperature gadget, points at my forehead, and I proceed through. That really spooked me out. I start looking around and everyone, I mean everyone is wearing a mask. It's obvious by now that this place is full of Chinese folks. It felt like a dystopian science fiction show, but I'm in it! Anyways, I did an E & E, and got the hell out of there! So, I'm goona hang in Makati for another 5-6 days, anybody wants to hang and have a few, I'd appreciate some decent conversion and a laugh.

Booked another trip in mid May: Cebu and AC.

Sent in my subscription fee via snail mail a few weeks back. Hopefully it gets processed soon!

If any members want to meet up for drinks and hit the streets, let me know!

Conquest to blend mongering in both Europe and Asia got a punch in the teeth.

Scoot Air fly into Manila from Athens Wednesday morning.

Exit is 7 pm Sunday depart AC Clark to Hong Kong via Cebu Pacific for a 24 stopover in Hong Kong to catch Emirates flight back to Athens (the scenic route).

Just got a nastygram from Cebu Pacific that CRK-HKG has been cancelled, options are to catch the next available Monday 6 am, find a different city in PH to stage myself in, or start a new life in PH.

I can't miss my Emirates HKG-ATH flight.

That would be a good thing because then you could book a flight from MNL back to Athens and avoid China. HKG sucks by the way. The alternative is check see if there are still flights from A) MNL to HKG or B) AC to Macau, or C) MNL to Macau. From Macau you can take the ferry straight to HKG airport on the day of your flight. But rebooking your return flight from MNL would be your best option if the airline permits it.

EQ.[/QUOTE]I think it's a must! I've been there a couple times a year over the last eight years and I have never had a problem finding beautiful GFE girls in the bars. I'm not sure why others have such a hard time! Good luck and give it a go mate!

EQ.[/QUOTE]With only 1 week you are not going to have much time to do all three. You need more to cover all three. That short time frame won't give you much room to establish much of a plan anywhere.

EQ.[/QUOTE]WR is right. You have read the reports. No sense in going to AC.

Please post reports on Cebu and Manila.

And as for Cebu Pacicfic, make sure you take the full refund option. Do not chose the "travel fund" or whatever they call their sink hole.
