Not much to add, maybe a little of perspective ?
[QUOTE=Emale]He is a Troll.........everybody is wrong but him[/QUOTE]Not much to add, except that, more than once, I have seen drinks deducted from the BF, especially in Montana, where, for some reasons not clearly known to me, I have the tendency to go back. Must be the curtain thing. Also in High heels. Including even once the drinks I paid to other girls, not only the one I was taking out.
Of course, it might have helped that I was friendly to the mamasan, haggled a little in broken tagalog. So I guess there is no real "law" in Burgos. Why should there be one? I personnally don't always understand what is the whole fuss all about. A bit of maths: BF = 3500 PHP? At the latest rate, around 50€. Let us deduct 3 lady drinks at 350 PHP? We are then talking about deducting the astronomical amount of 1 000 PHP, which is around 15€. Around 20 US$. Granting a mongerer stays a week in Burgos, barfines every night, he is going to save 140US$. Big deal? Let me think: 20 to 40 packs of cigarettes (none of us should smoke anyway) depending on the country? 3 bottles of good booze at the duty free?
I tend to always pay what is finally being asked after the usual bargain. A little of bargaining is expected, not only in the Phils, but mostly around the world and in Asia. The mamasans most likely have various levels of flexibility according to the bar, the time of year, the mood of the boss. Low season might be, paradoxally, less flexible. Well, once again, so what? I think and noticed that the more you show you are close to your money in an exaggerated way, the worse the experience will be once in the room. I love it when a girl tells me I pay what I want, "just don't be too cheap". And I respect when she tells me she has a price. And I put all the efforts in having the discussion not focusing on this.
And for those who can't afford the high prices in QC, the more moderate in Makati, there is always the 900 BF in Pasay and the LA girls. Most of the times, beauty follow the level of pricing.
Will be in the Phils in the next weeks, and will stick to those principles. Will announce in the appropirate section, and will be more than happy to share a few beers.
Enjoy and stay safe
