Hello guys,

Is there any place to find sex in the Las Piñas or Parañaque area?

Roubaix

I just came back from Puerto Princessa, Palawan last week and thought I would give an update on the girl scene. This has been my 4th trip to the philippines in the last 5 years.

Palawan is really not the cheapest place in the Phils. to pay for sex. Everywhere I went in Puerto Princessa, the price was 1500 pesos for a short time (3 hours max). There are a number of bars near the airport to find girls on Rizal Ave.. All of the bars are karyoke style instead of western. If you go most likely you will be the only foreigner inside as I was.

I was told the best two places in town are Phoenix (very close airport) and Remember Me? which is on the ouskirts of town (I did not go here). Phoenix was a disappointment. Although they did have around 10 attractive girls (age 20-24), I felt they just wanted too much money. I went inside and a man who worked there was trying to get me set up with a girl. After i found a girl who I was interested in, I was surprised to find the price to be 1800 pesos for a short time. I tried to negotiate, however they would not bargain even a little. So I just left and tried another place down the street and found what I wanted for 1500 pesos.

In my opinion they have very few women in Palawan and that is why the price is so much. Supply = Demand, with very little supply. Most of the girls come to Puerto Princessa from other parts of the Philippines.


Good luck.

hi, english guy living in alabang. Wondering if any brothers know some good places in the vicinity. Theres sum cute gals in Casa de Rosas on Zapote but they need to be dated. Any one know the score on the kareoke places further down zapote road. Any other recommendations for when i have an after noon free. All help much appreciated

I have on few occasions heard of a place in the Las Pinas area called " EXIT ". Can anybody help with more precise location details please ? Any comments on the Las Pinas scene would be welcome in fact !

me too.. just like bouraq I'd love to know more. Bora Bora kareoke is ok on zapote, as is the korean kareoke near southmall, but id really like ythe name of a a good massage place...and place with bargirls...

roversman99 - We need to communicate and plan a trip out sometime. You can e-mail me at Bouraq@mail.com ( that's mail.com not hotmail.com). This is a discreet address

bouraq.. sent you an email.. ready.. lets go find out about those places in zapote and LP...

Uhh, why don't you guys try Skytrek? If I remember correctly, its in LP...has a nice MP also to boot...

Roverman99 - I am an ex-pat living here in Alabang also and I am a regular at "EXIT" so I can happily take you there one evening. It is the best place around this area and very reasonable with some great ladies.
Unless you know it, there is no chance of finding it - trust me!
The Zapote Rd is a waste of time and a rip-off. Forget it.
Skytrek is ok but again can be pricey.
Email me: svengoranthegreat@hotmail.com
We can meet up at the San Mig for a beer/chat before heading over to "Exit" one evening.

Hi guys,

I heard their are some free lancers hanging around in eastwood city, libis. Anybody know where to find them?

Guys,

I am working in Batangas City for a few weeks. Is there any nightlife in this provincial town? Has anyone heard of St. Clara near the Pier?

Hello to everyone. I will be visiting the Philippines in November (11/4-12/4). My wife and I will be staying mainly in Negros Occidental area. I was just wondering if anyone has any information about the "Recreational Opportunities" on this Island. I haven't seen any reports about Negros. We will also be on Cebu for about a week then on to Baracay for another week. I want to thank everyone in advance for their assistance and information.

asian explorer
yes,there are women available at any of the three hotels there,alpha,batangan and days.sta clara is a bit of a rathole,you can inquire from the roomboy at batangas city hotels,the one who operates the massage service at days is from cebu,she runs the massage service at park place,aderan and days cebu.she uses girls from cebu,was just talking to her the other day,her girls can provide extra service

Hey, anyone know of a great MP in Pasig or Libis that offers full service or at least sensation? Other than that rathole Romulus of course.

Im not sure if its still there but there used to be a mp under one of the motels in pasig. I think the name was/is Xuxa. I visited it once but it was too expensive. That was a long time ago. I assume the rooms are the motel rooms so they have a television and bath.

terry 14 - I heard theres a MP at Genie Magic KTV (Cainta near Sta Lucia Mall), called the Good Life. It just opened this month I think. Havent checked it out yet. But its run by the same folks of Pegasus and Heartbeat, so i guess prices are similar. Worth checking out if you are in that area. Too far for me but closer to your next of the woods.

any news on action in boracay? might be going there soon. how about puereto gallera? any info will be helpful.
thanks

Puerta Gallera is heaveing with freelancers at the moment;

"goin Blowin'" for their holidays.

They drift around Sabang in packs, hanging around the Sunshine coast like wolves.

And there aint that many lalake their to feed em, so it is very much a buyers market.

I just got back from sabang after a three day R & R, but i took a couple with me.

As my mates said, there really was no need.

Happy being hunted and keep us posted.

Can anyone give some information on M.P. near or around the Alabang village. Any action around here.? How about Zapote road. ? I will be visiting the Phillippines soon, but wil only be in this area.

I got taken to a place near Laguna by friends in August where I met the most gorgeous girl a very definite 10+, her name? Well that would be telling but the place is called Halfway 2000 and seems to be mainly used by locals as you really do have to know how to get there.

If you can get there it is very much worth it though.

Heya =P

Does anyone have any info on Baguio City??? A lot of students so it's imho that there should be some freelancers around the malls or so...

any info is appreciated thanks !!!

for the baguio enquiry..whilst there are lots of students they are all young students.. 17-18-19 ages and very shy in the main. They go to baguio ot study as its cheaper for their parents than manila./ Hence they are more provincial and conservative. There are very few malls of any size in baguio, tho SM is laying foundations there for an SM mall right now. Baguio has the least action of any place ive been to in Philippines. I go there regularly. Theres one or two new massage places but certainly no girlie bars. Best to take company to baguio.. weather is gorgeous there right now.. was there last weekend.

Actually there is a girlie bar over in baguio. At least there was one a few years ago. Its called star city and star city 2. Its not the high class type of place though and the girls arent exactly lookers either. Overall, I wouldnt recommend it.

i lived in baguio for two years in the mid 90s... id say there is little or no action in the area... if there are... like star city or capsule or diamond massage... the places are ratholes... the nearest place to get action is down launion around 1 1/2 hour drive

I'm going to Bacolod 1st week of december... do you know where i can find action there? where's the best place to stay?

Thanks for the response all ^_^

I guess I got to stay at Manila or somewhere else for some action eh?? oh well...loved Baguio though great weather and all.

So any tips on M.Ps in Baguio? Where are they at?

BORACAY

Hello! I will spend a week on Boracay around New Year. I have been there once before, but didn't find too many nice girls. Although there were som members of the "Boracay Princess assosiation" hanging around the Bazzurra Disco. Does anybody have a better suggestion where to pick up girls? Amazing that the # of girls are so tiny in a place with that many tourists...

Norhead
the reason there are so few girls is that the tourists are only their during peak season,as a travel industry pro try going there in july for example,it looks like Bali now.anyway you can try the disco at the basement of Boracay regency,but better to bring your own,most of the working girls are from manila or cebu and only go to Boracay during tourist season because of higher prices they can charge there

Woud highly appreciate any advice on ILOILO - City and / or surroundings (like Guimaras a.s.o.).
Thank's in advance!

Anything updated on Puerto Gallera? Am headed there just before Chinese New Year, would like to know what's up.

Can anyone give some information on any places near alabang, where you can get some kind of action.? I will soon be travelling to the Philippines and will be staying in this area.

Cebu local,

I sent you an email about Puerto Galera. I'm almost positive I'm going to stay in the La Laguna Beach Resort at Big Lalagunga Beach. My plan was to spend my first night in Manila, then make my way down to Batangas. The hotel's web site offered some packages to get to their hotel. Since I haven't made this trip before I'm tempted to take them up on it. Is it difficult to get there from, let's say, Ermita?

...(prog)

Hey monger22,

Thanks for the heads up on the college girls ^_^ I would probably try chilling by Burnham Park. I would love to just stay in Manila for a few days to experience the ladies there but my parents place is in Baguio (which means I can save a few hundred pesos for pasalubong for my friends in Cali =P)

Hey Prog;
There's a bus that leaves every morning for Puerto Galera. It took me about 1/2 a day to get there. Bus to a ferry and then a ferry to Puerto Galera.
The hotel concierge should have the info you need for times/$$. Pretty easy to find your way there from Manila.
By the way, while I was in Manila, I met a friend who can get a great rate at some nice hotels in Makati. US$50.00 for the Peninsula. I paid $107.00 for the Oakwood which is a really nice suite hotel in Makati. Next time, I'm going to the Peninsula.

Trihunter

Hey Prog,

First of all, if you plan to do your partying in Sabang and your sleeping in Big La Laguna, you will tire of the walk quickly. It's a hual with a girl in tow and a few San Migs on board. But since you're bringing entertainment, it may work out. I heard C.L. was working on a deal at Atlantis for you.

Getting there form Ermita is a breeze. The service that "Trihunter" below is referring to is probably the "Si-kat". "Half day" is very optimistic. Plan on pulling into Puerto Galera around 3:00 PM. It leaves from the City Tower Hotel (Mabini just south of P. Faura) at 9:00 AM, sharp ! They will leave late comers. The last time I did it (about a year ago) it was about 700 p for a round trip, buses and ferries.

You can do it much more cheaply by catching a bus from the BLTB bus terminal on EDSA in Pasay to the ferry dock in Batangas, then grapping a local ferry. This can be done all day, to a point. Ferries stop for the night at some point. (Cebu Local, you know what time ?) You don't want to get stranded and have to overnight in Batangas. Also, this route on BLTB has been plagued with robberies and bag pilfering.

Go with the Si-kat.

Later

Prog
FD is more familiar since so far i have only stayed at Atlantis,but talked to friend of mine who owns a bar in puerto and will advise you what i find out.The ferries stop at about 6pm for the last trips,generally i have also worked with the cocobeach people,if you overnight in Batangas city you can try the Days hotel,Batangan or SM lodge,i have a special rate from all 3.have your local honeykoo put the room in her name to get the local rate,about 1300 pesos for days,1000 for batangan and sm,regards

cebu local, FD, and Tri,

Thanks for the information... From what I'm reading you are suggesting I stay in Batangas my first night? This is a possibilty since I arrive in Manila around noon. I will send my HK and email and have her reserve me a room at the Day's Inn (I have points with them). I will look into the Si-kat. I'm still leaning towards staying at the La Laguna Beach Resort. I can always move to Sabang if the hike is too much. Threesome action is always welcome but I'm looking forward to a relaxed holiday first...

On a different note: I'm stuck in an apartment in Manama, Bahrain right now. This sucks... :(

...(prog)

Prog
have your girl call the central reservations of Days in the philippines at 632-8971111 and book a room at the local resident promo at about 1300 pesos-1500 pesos breakfast for 2 included.have her look for maimai or ellen.regards

Hello again Dudes,

Prog. Just so we're clear.. I was suggesting leaving ermita at 9:00 AM on the Si-kat and landing in P.G. at 3:00 PM, skipping Batangas entirely. You're a big boy and will find some way to have fun regardless ! :) You're welcome.

FD

Thinking of coming over from HK for a long weekend of golf and some PI pussy.

Looking to check out something beyond my normal Borgos St / Sky Trek scences. Any PI Expats want to play some 20 hcp. golf and have a fun night out?

Any golfers/hobbyists 11-14 April e mail me at shayes65@yahoo.com.

Honker

cebu local,

Okay, my Puerto Galera plans are starting to solidify. Here's what I'm thinking about doing:

I land in Manila around 11:00am. I take a cab to the City State hotel in Central Manila. This works out better because it gives my girl plenty of time to get off work (she’s a non-bargirl) then get to the hotel. I can rest for the night. The next morning we will take a shuttle bus from the hotel to Batangas. From there we take the Si Kat ferry to Puerto Galera. Here's where I'm not sure what to do - Do I hire a bunka to take us directly to Lalaguna Beach resort or do I need to go to Sabang, then to Big Lalaguna Beach?

Thanks in advance for all your help! BTW, I’m thinking about Boracay, Palawan, or maybe Bantayan in August. What do you recommend? I understand Palawan is beautiful but may be a little dangerous for a westerner.

…(prog)

Prog
you can take a banka directly to La Laguna when you get to puerto galera,it is located on big laguna beach,has a pool and it is much more peaceful than sabang there,regarding the islands you want to visit,seaair flies to boracay,cebu and bantayan,you are better off getting an airpass,try this all by air manila-clark-manila-boracay-cebu-manila -palawan-manila all for 300$ on the airpass regards

cebu local,

Salamat for the advice. I've seen you and Firedick post several times about the air pass but I'm not sure it will help me. I usually don't spend more than 8 days in the PI during my visits and these visits are 3 months apart. These air passes are for a short time-window, right? I will most likely be going to only one of the location I mentioned earlier in August.

One last question - how much should I pay the banka to take two people from Puerto Galera to Lalaguna Beach?

...(prog)

prog
you are suppossed to pay about 200 pesos,but being "kano" you will be charged higher,just haggle regards,the airpass is valid only for 1 month so it would not be practical in your case,when in town contact me offboard if you want regards

hey everyone,

Thanks for the great info on this site. I will be making my first voyage to the islands in late September and although not staying in Manilla or any of the other big cities, I am hoping to meet a few of the beautiful Filipinas that live there. I will be on the island of Mindoro and staying near Puerto Galera for some scuba diving.

Anyone out there have any advice or knowledge of that area or of the different ways to meet some ladies out there?

Thanks.

Jackson,

I know what you mean about all upper or lower case. Irritating.


Bhall,

No offense, but have you bothered to read the posts in this section ? There is a ton of info. You need no special knowledge or info to meet girls "near Puerto Galera". Just go to Sabang beach after dinner. You'll figure it out.

Prog,

You kick'n back in La Laguna right now ?

FD

Hey Firedick;

Thank you so much for the great help. By the way sorry about not reading extra carefully at all the old reports, I guess there was some information on the area. You know, if you know the area though, it can be "known" to you and not to someone who has never been there. Its sounds like it will not be a problem at all.

To the editor who had to edit my report/ request for info:

I'm so sorry that you had to spend a few minutes to fix it, especially because it took me 30 seconds to write it. I suppose there is justification for jackson hiring you. I am so thankful though because without you, many reports would be unintelligible. Or worse, have a comma in the wrong spot.

[blue]Don't be a smart ass. It's me personally who has to edit these reports, and I've got better things to do, but I know from running this forum for the past two years that if I don't stay right on top of EVERYTHING, then the it would quickly collapse into nothing but a bunch of undecipherable postings punctuated by Spam.

You can apologize at any time.

Jackson[/blue]

Jackson,

You do a great job and I really appreciate the site. I don't recall you ever having to proof a message, or rather you do it and we never see it or here about it.

Keep up the great work and I apoligize for myself and the other guys who write once in once in a while and it comes across half-literate or worse, thrown together and then you have to undecipher it.

bhalls1

[blue]Thanks, I sincerely appreciate your comments.

Jackson[/blue]

bhall,

It's just that we get the same questions repeatedly. It gets frustrating to we regulars who know that the info is already here. There is even a pretty good search function.

Now...how can we help ? Where are you staying ? La Laguna, Sabang ?...

The dive operators that I know and trust are: Asia Divers, Atlantis (at the hotel of the same name) and Capt. Greggs.

Best of luck,

FD

FD,

Sorry for sounding like an asshole, manopause I guess.

I have no idea where it is, but me and a buddy will be diving with Capt Greggs. We will be staying at the hotel that is right by the dive shop, I don't know if it run by the same or not.

From what I have read and heard, the diving is unbelievable. Even better than palau and truk islands, or pre-60's hawaiian diving. I am just trying to maximize my time there to taste some beautiful women while I am at it.

There seems to be some reports that say bring your women from manilla over and some reports saying there is great availability around puerto galera. I was planning on landing in manila and going straight over to the island, so the former is not an option-(unless it is the only option). Would you say in your opinion that they are better in manilla and bringing one over is the way to go? Or there is the same scene in puerto galera as in manila?

And lastly, of course whats reasonable to pay for overnight services? I have seen a couple of previous messages saying what I think translates to $20-30us, does that sound right?

Thank you very much,

bhalls1

bhall,

No sweat.

Capt Greggs is in Sabang. You are in the nightlife headquarters. Bringing your own down to Mindoro from Manila or AC can be nice because you (usually) have already spent some time with her and are "rewarding" good service. If she is a good traveler, this can be an advantage. But, showing up "empty handed" is fine too. There are enough to chose from for a trip of a week or so. $20 to 30 is about right. But make sure of the details before leaving the bar.

As for the diving...it depends on what you are looking for. You will not get the kind of viz you'll get in Palua or Cozumel. But you do get darn good fish and coral life. Do not let them talk you into a check out dive to either of the "wrecks". Waste of time (except for a night dive. Good critters then). Any other dive site is preferable to all but real novices.

But, for a dive site/top side combination, it's hard to beat P.G. Mindoro. Phuket is close, but the diving is better is P.G.

Best of luck,

FD

Several hotels in Puerto Galera were offering decent rates for those who wanted to get certified. The dive shop at the Lalaguna Beach and Dive Resort was offering $200/person if two or more sign up. I also asked how much for a typical dive. The average rate per dive (assuming all you need is the tank) was $27. This included any of the 12 different dive sites. The night dives were more expensive but I can't remember how much.

As far as nightlife - I was there a little over a week ago. Sabang Disco had the largest and best selection of GROs and dancers. Some looked very, very nice. Some looked pretty young too. I wasn’t impressed with the freelancers at Big Apple. Most looked pretty haggard.

...(prog)

This place is the shithole of all shitholes, but if you are stuck here, tell any cab driver to take you to "Golden Field," a couple kilometers from the airport. There are a number of bars, discos, and SW's there. I only went inside two discos.
[list][*]Quorum: 100 peso cover. About 6-8 working girls. It was really too dark inside to get a good look at them, and I was already accompanied so I didn't bother trying.
[*]Disco 2000: 50 peso cover includes one drink. A handful of girls. I short-timed one named 'Carol,' 18 years old. She was cute but horrible in bed.[/list]Ignore the touts outside and just talk to the girls yourself. The touts will only try to rip you off.

I stayed at the King's Inn on San Sebastian, one of the main roads. The price is 610 peso/night. It has A/C, hot water, a TV, and is pinay-friendly. It is about 5 minutes from Golden Field by cab.

At the time of this writing, $1US = 53 pesos, although you get a slightly lower exchange rate for anything other than $100 bills.

I plan on spending 3 or 4 nights in the Puerto Galera / Sabang beach area for a little scuba or snorkling and a lot of naughty nightlife. I would like any suggestions of places to stay that are friendly towards bringing the girls back and preferably cost under $50 US per night for an airconditioned room. Is under $50 a realistic expectation? I have seen some places mentioned here, but not the prices for the accomodations. I also would like to know how most of the hotels/ resorts work as far as bringing the girls back- do you pay one price for the rooms, or does it usually cost extra if you are bringing a girl or girls back? Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Curious George

C. George,

You will have no problem finding a nice AC room for well under $50. My favorite place is the aforementioned Atlantis Resort. Their best rooms (the Seaview or the Honeymoon suite) go for about $75. I stay in their basic rooms which have AC, mini-bar, cable TV and queen size beds for about $35.

I have never had any staff at any hotel in Sabang take notice of "non registered" guest visiting. Never had an extra charge.

Good luck.

Hello,

First time poster here. I would like some info re: Pourto Gallera.

I am looking for a place to chill for a few months. I'm 50 yrs young and would like to find a place not necessarily here but to rent a safe bungalow on a beach, near to village or town with opportunity to obtain some western conveniences such as food, internet, entertianment etc. I am a writer and need to find a quiet place to do some work, but with some evening entertainment. I would prefer a lady to take down there or find one there that would stay with me (or would you get bored )LOL. Steady sex is a must. I'm 50 plus, but like my pussy young and my wine aged. Not to young, but tight and sexy. From what I gather, is that this is all very possible, but where and how much?

Thanks,

Red Cork,

PG is pretty small and would be (for me anyway) pretty boring after a couple weeks.

I would suggest you consider Zambales or Cebu.

Good luck,

FD

Has anyone been to 100 islands national park recently? If so I'd like to know how the beaches are, the quality of the snorkeling and if there is any mongering scene in the vicinity.

Thank you for your info. I will consider this when making my discision. Please read my post in general info.

Vchip,

I did 100 Islands about 5 years ago. At that time it was definately a "bring your own honey" destination. You have to hire a boat to get out to the islands. Just tell the boatman what you're looking for, ie: white sand beach for a picnic or nice snorkeling. I found the snorkeling to be fair to poor. Northern Luzon is not known for good viz.

The closest dependable "mongering" is in San Fernando, La Union. 2-3 OK bars.

At the the time of my last visit (to 100 Islands), the food was pretty good but accommodations were horid !

I would like to hear if you have a similar take on the place.

FD

FD,

Thanks for the info on 100 Is. If I go I'll probably stay at the Laguna beach resort area in La Union province. In the past I've found that the water visibility can vary greatly due to the presence or absence of storms etc.

Hello Firedick,

Thank you for your post, however I have not been able to get any info about your suggested spot (Zambales). Would you be so kind as to elabotate a bit more about the place? Where is it in relation to Cebu, and accomodations, girl scene, ambience, etc.?

Thanks again,

Redcork

Does anyone have any info about a crazy golf course near Puerto Galera? Is there just the one? Is it worth packing the clubs or is it a joke course? greeen fee's? Cute caddies? etc.

Thanks,

zambales is a coastal province about 2 hours drive from angeles,it is very far from cebu about a 1 1/2 hour flight away,it is about 150 miles northwest of manila.it is laidback and not as developed as cebu.i do some consultancy work in zambales so feel free to shoot any questions

Need some helpful info.
I will be traveling to the Philippines for my first trip in September. I will be staying on the island of Bantayan (spelling might be incorrect) Can anyone who has been, or has knowledge of this island, tell me if their is any action there? It is sort of a quiet remote area, this much i do know, but I would think there would be some working girls from the villages available? For the record, I'm a regular contributor to these boards. I do not just take info, I share it too. Many fellow mongers just seek info, but never give any back. I'm NOT one of those, but this area is an unknown to myself.

Also, I will be staying in Cebu for a few days before heading down to Bantayan and was curios to how the action compares in Cebu. I travel to Thailand five times per year and was wondering how the service in Cebu compares to that of Bangkok.

Thanks in advance for any helpful info
GETTINGTANG~!

Redcork,

One minor detail that Cebu local left out was Subic. Subic is in the Southern part of Zambales and does have a bit of "action". There is also a golf course. Zambales has beautiful beaches, but most of the diving has been ruined by dynamite fishing. Zambales is also someplace that I could live long term, unlike Angeles City. But, Angeles is (as CL noted) a pretty easy drive away. Angeles is a great place to blow off some steam and has a great (albiet expensive) golf course, on base.

The "crazy golf course" in PG may be referring to a mini golf course that was in one of the Sabang hotels (Big Apple?). I think that you may be getting the wrong idea of PG. Think small village, not resort town.

FD

After 2-3 days in Manila in early October, I'm going to head to Sabang and was figuring on staying at the Big Apple Dive Resort (http://www.dive-bigapple.com/).

Any one have any advice re bars and girls at Sabang?

Cheers

Dazzer

Dazzer,

At the Big Apple, get a room as far back (behind the pool) as possible. The rooms forward border walking paths that can be noisy all night long.

There are only a couple good bars. You'll find them. Watch your valuables. Sabang has a very bad "shabu" problem.

FD

Spent a week in Boracay and the last few days in Sabang. Boracay was nice and the weather was great. Not many tourists at all and a fair few freelancers hanging around the bars and on the beach. Most weren't great but met one girl in Summer Place bar who came back to my place..cost 700 pesos for the whole night..she wanted to hang around during ,y stay which would have got old quickly so declined..
Sabang is a bit of a dump, cheap and cheerful with a lot of dodgy characters around..it's a bit claustraphobic for my tastes but there is a selection of girls here. Three main go go bars masquerading as discos and one regular disco which the girls frequent after gogo closes. Went to all three places and some cuties in all of them...Ended up in the regular disco and one of the girls had followed me..bought her a few drinks and said I had a girlfriend as I wanted to go home..she was quite persistent and came back..Ended up having a great time for about 5 hours with her...she was 19 and pretty much insatiable. At the end she said she didnt want my money just to see me again:)..So I suppose pi is like thailand where freebies are available if you are lucky.

Overall not impressed with Sabang and I find it hard to believe people come back here year after year...Heading to Cebu tomorrow to meet up with two girls I met on the internet...not sure what if anything is on offer but will be nice to have two guides to the city..will update on my experiences there

Does anyone have any info about a crazy golf course near Puerto Galera? Is there just the one? Is it worth packing the clubs or is it a joke course? greeen fee's? Cute caddies? etc.[/quote]5 min from PG is there a Golf course called Pondarosa. The price is very small. I played there a whole week for a box of rum* it was low seson :) (*Tanduai)

You have to bring you own caddy if it shall be cute ;) I did bring a "local girl" as caddy. There is a fantastic view from the course it on a mountain top.

Houses and bungalows and boats is very easy to find just ask the locals.

hi Paddy23

i'm a beach enthusias and planning to travel to PI late this year. I will stop first in AC for a week to get things out of my system before going for a swim. I still have two weeks to spare for the blue water and white sand of the PI. Boracay is on my list. but I also hear about 100 island. should I split the two for the stay. which is nicer. also, any good place to pick up the gals in boracay, go go bars? any recommendation on a beach front hotel that goes for less than 20 a night. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

well, i finally decided to meet my steady’s family. it was last june, to start my three week vacation in pi. i had my steady, “sheryl”, to get the tickets for me. i had already the flight numbers but my internet prices were almost double what she was able to get them for in ac from beeline travel in kokomoz. she had everything arranged, hotel, return flight, taxies, ect.

i landed in manila from las vegas without a problem. met up with sheryl and took the cab to the domestic airport. the only thing on my mind at this point was getting my first sm beer. ok, not the first thing, but trust when i say i was taken care of a little bit earlier. we finally found the beer and i got an average massage while we waited for two hours. the flight was quick and unremarkable, except they give you five times the amount of snacks than i ever seen before.

finally land in bacolod city. i was laughing out loud as i have never seen a commercial airport this small. the baggage claim was outside! it was so crowded there. wall to wall (what walls?) people. sheryl was busy interviewing taxi drivers while i waited for our luggage. she found a guy with a nice conversion minivan and he said the price was up to her. we were staying at the sugarland hotel just down the street. ended up giving him 300p and got his card.

well after curious’s messages that he could not set me up with his girl, i decided to make my own plans. i had been chatting on the net with a 24 year old virgin that lives in a neighboring city. joyz is a wonderful woman. i chatted with her for months before this, web cam meetings, phone calls, and some texting. she is one of the most intelligent girls i’ve conversed with. i told her my plans and she agreed to meet us at the hotel.

we arrive at the hotel. our room wasn’t ready at the time, so they let us have another smaller room in the mean time. we did it like bunnies and cleaned up. just as i got finished with the four beers that were sent up when our room was ready. i did a quick look at the room. hmmm, two hours, yes you can tell mongering1 was here. lol

we settled into our actual room. not a bad place. it rated four stars on the web, i rate i equal to two and a half stars us. nice décor, roomy, good staff, but still dingy. the cr was ok, but not clean as you find in us. i always wonder if they even have ajax in pi.

it was mid afternoon when joyz showed up. she didn’t have a bag with her! i had explained to sheryl that joyz was a good chat buddy of mine and left it at this. well we ate supper and i requested joyz to go get an overnight bag and stay with us until i leave. she agreed. sheryl and i took a taxi to her mom’s house.

i was wondering why everyone kept their chicken coops so close to the road, i couldn’t see any houses. come to find out i was looking at the houses! i have never been to a location like this in my life. no running water or electric. i was a little shell shocked to say the least. i am very humble and did not let my first opinions known.

sheryl introduced me to her family. mom, two teenage sisters, twin teenage brothers, and her ten year old sister. the girls were shy at first, but the boys wanted to show me around. i told them to take me to a store that sells candy. well the only store within walking distance was a window of someone’s house. i said that this will not do. so i gather up all the kids into a huge trike and off to the grocery store we go.

i told them to get anything they wanted. they had to be prodded a lot by me. i told them to spread out and get some stuff, i didn’t want to be out too much after dark here with the mosquitoes. i monitored the things they were throwing in the cart. the older girls all bought some hygiene products as well as some normal girl type stuff, like pony tail holders ect. they all were getting the basic staples, canned meats, rice, dry milk, and so on. i asked when we went down the snack isle if they even liked cookies. the little one grabbed a small package of chocolate chip cookies. i put it back and grabbed two big boxes. this got them going. next five minutes and the cart finally filled. the trike held it all. i was amazed. seven people and a full cart of groceries.

when we get to the house all the kids promptly put things away. the second eldest sister opened a jar of mayonnaise and a loaf of bread. she started making half sandwiches. people started showing up from every direction. she fed them all. of course when she made the first one she offered to me, but i was stuffed from eating only a couple hours before. i had to remind them about the ice cream. there were about a dozen or so more kids there at the time. the second eldest made the announcement of ice cream and all the kids left running. hmmm, i was confused again. well, a few minutes later they all came back, along with some new ones, all carrying a small cup or bowl and a spoon. the whole episode was very amusing and i hope i am writing this well enough for you to understand the mixture of emotions running through me. i felt very good about my self. i didn’t feel as though i had to do anything for this. in other words, i felt genuine hospitality for all of them.

when the ice cream finished i said we had to get going. we took a trike down to the main road and waited for a jeepney. it took us to the hotel. joyz was waiting in the lobby with her bag in hand. now i had not slept for well over 36 hours at this point. the internet service was down in the hotel, so we get a taxi to the internet café and then out to eat. we called it an early night and got to bed. all three of us naked in the bed. i fell asleep immediately.

the next day we call the taxi driver that took us from the airport. we struck a deal, 2,000p for as long as we need him that day and evening, he would pay the gas. all three of us head for sheryl’s mom’s house. when we showed up all the kids were still in school. i was not happy with this . when told they would be home in an hour or so i said we will go pick them up. we took the van to the school. it was an l shaped building. most of the classrooms did not have doors or windows, just huge openings in the wall. the staff did not mind at all that i was there. we peeked into the kids classes, but did not interrupt them. shortly school was dismissed and we drove back home. i wanted to get something to eat, but sheryl explained that they need to change out of their uniforms.

back at the house the kids gave us another tour of the neighborhood. went down a very steep and long hill where there was the neighborhood well. a bit further and we were at the river. i could have waded across parts of it, i think.

back at the house. the taxi driver was doing some odd chores around the house. he mended some siding on a wall to the house, helped clean the pig sty, and fixed a bench in the front yard. i told everyone that i was getting very hungry. they all got ready to go and we loaded into the van. mom and auntie came along, to total there was eleven of us. i told the driver to take us someplace nice. his first stop was at a cafeteria type set up with no aircon. i told him that this was unacceptable. he then took us to a nice restaurant that had aircon and all indoor seating. the staff put some tables together and we all took our seats. as expected, the driver sat down with us, right across from me. we all ordered and when i finished mine, well before anyone, i ordered again. total for this bill was well under 2,000p.

before the trip, sheryl was telling me about how bad she felt since she had promised the boys a new bike for their birthday that just passed. earlier this year, the family suffered the loss of her younger brother to cancer. this was just before i first met her. i said, “let’s go shopping”. we first went to the mall. it was a big mall with an arcade upstairs. i bought 1,000p in tokens and we all played around for a couple hours. the adult women mainly did the karaoke machines while was dragged back and forth to watch and or play games with the little ones. i told the girls to get something if they wanted. we browsed a few shops and came back empty.

i told the driver to find us a bike shop. ended up getting the boys a bike, mom said no to a bike each, so they got one to share. 1,300p only for a decent bike. the girls still had nothing from me as far as a present. sheryl told me the girls were in need of new rubber shoes. so we go to a huge department store and the girls took off shopping, leaving us guys and the youngest girl in the van to wait. well i took the little girl into the store. (at one point in the mall, i saw her picking through some dolls. her mom told her no at that time so i didn’t say any thing. ) i found the toy section and told her to pick out a doll. she got nice one and would not even look at anything else. by the way, she was sitting next to me the whole time in the van. yes, she had my heart all the way. reminded me very much of my daughter, only better behaved!

back at the house now. told the driver to go get 4 cases of beer. he came back with the beer and a big bag of ice. he found a large washtub and filled it with beer and ice. he sat there for the rest of the evening opening the beers and disposing of the empties. as i figured, a dozen or so locals came by. music was playing and it was just getting dark. they had one small light bulb hanging over the table outside powered by a car battery. (i forgot to see how they recharge it). we all partied, i got a little buzz going and was dancing with the old ladies. the kids were playing and it was very festive to say the least. a lady carrying a large plastic pale had all the kids running to her with their small cups and bowls. she was selling a soybean mixture that was very sweet. i figured this to be the provinces’ version of the ice cream man. after the beer had finished, we said our good byes and told the driver to take up partying.

the driver took us to the main entertainment area. i know that most of you want the information on the bar scene. well i can sum it up. the bars that offer mongering type entertainment were horrible. the girls were not attractive at all. the lady drink prices i was quoted ran from 300p-600p. i didn’t get good vibes about extras so i didn’t even try. since i was together with two girls already i didn’t get much attention in the regular bars. we still had a great time. actually had fun in the karaoke bars. we spent a couple hours in one, the driver ordered food consistent with my intake. we called it a night sometime around 1am. i would not recommend bacolod city as a mongering destination, although i didn’t give it much of a chance. i’m sure i would not have went home alone, but have the feeling i would end up disappointed in the end.

back in the hotel. since i plan on sharing this with a few people that i don’t usually do, i will just say, i did not fall asleep immediately and joyz lost something special that night.

the next day was spent with the family, driver included until time to go to the airport. i had a wonderful time. i only saw a few other foreigners the whole time. everyone i met was very polite. i was the center of attention most of the time, but felt comfortable. i’m sorry to you reading this that i didn’t get out and explore more of the city. i have heard of many sites to see, but i just didn’t feel like doing them. i get so lazy when i vacation nowadays.

Mongering1,

Great post, you have made a Filino family very happy and you will be a topic of conversations many times to come.

mongering1,

Thank you for sharing your experience. Makes me recall my time when I visited my steady's home province and her family in Surigao del Sur. I can almost imagine your surprise as when I landed in such a small airpor myself, Butuan City. The place did not offer much for the mongering scene but that was okay since I was with my steady and a couple of her cousin and friends.

I can say that I had a wonderful time and some memorable hot tropical nights with her. Plus I gained a few more numbers and prospects from her cousin and a couple of friends of hers. They are always welcomed when they come over to Makati for a visit and I have a few more place to go when I return for a visit.

Vegas mongers,
Meeting at Sunset Station in the dining area to the left as your facing Sabaro's Pizza by the theaters at noon this Sunday. Email for further details.

Mongering1 in Bacolod: sounds like you did it right. Just learn to slow down on the spending after the first year or so unless you're incredibly rich. It may be pesos but it does add up after a while. I don't know about yours but my credit cards have this thing called a "credit limit". I never dreamed I'd be buying a Christmas tree (!!) in Phils, but it and decorations tonight worked out to about $100. Yeah, incredibly cheap, but that's on top of everything else. If you get serious long-term, you're into 7-digits or more of these pesos by the time she's happy with her new house and all the cool stuff she's always wanted to have in a house of her own, and don't forget that you've inherited an extended family to help with little things like some rice and fish ... and medical ... and prescriptions ... and optometrists ... and ... and .... It's all good, but watch your budget!

If you wind up settling there, try to get in touch, and maybe we can share a few SMB's someday, seeing as how nanay and papang are in Bacolod.

Guys...never see much mention of Pangasinan or Ilocos on this board. Im in PI twice a year and besides Manila spend a lot of time up North. Anyone need any info then let me know.

The Flying Scotsman

Mongering1 and Cancontrb, I will be in Bacolod second week of December. Let me know if you guys want to hook up for a few SMBs.

Cheers.

went to legaspi city, albay last week. i stayed in magayon hotel, very cheap at 700pesos a night, clean decent room with a/c. lots of freelancers at the lobby, quality ranging from 6-9 for only an astounding 500 bucks overnight (in fact i overpaid, the security guy there said it's should have been only 300), what's ironic is the hotel is in front of a police station but no trouble finding action in this city. got two girls who danced for me first before doing the nasty. highly recommended.

Agent orange..i hope that you mean 500 pesos...when you said 500 bucks..!! check out the manila board recently..some guy paid $500 for a girl from LA cafe..!! Im not gonna be able to afford it any more if the prices are that high..LOL

the flying scotsman

G'day gents,

I am on my way to the Philipinnes for a few days of R & R over the Xmas/
New Year break I was wondering if anyone has been to Sabang recently who can report on the freelance/disco scene there?? I used to go there regularly a few years back but the last time I went pickings were very scare and the scuttlebut was the local mayor was initiating a "morals campaign" and was trying to close the local discos and discourage the freelancers from working in
the town.

Another question which is a longshot, but I was also wondering if any of you mongers out there had ever barfined a gal by the name of Channel from the Sabang area?? She used to work in the Sabang Village disco I think and she was a little tall, had short dyed blonde/brown hair when I knew her and most importantly the best set of breasts that I have ever had the privilege to get my mouth around!!!! I would appreciate it if anyone knew her recent whereabouts.

Happy mongering to all.

I'm going to the Philippines in early to mid May for 2 Months and definately have Dumaguete, Negros on my list but I have no contacts there aside from people I met at Kiwi Lodge in Cebu who go back and forth from Dumaguete to Cebu.

I was planning on hitting AC first as I always do then going to Cebu City and finding someone there at the Kiwi Lodge who's headed off to Dumaguete but if I can find someone who knows Dumaguete well and can give me tips on where to stay and go hunting I maybe able to skip Cebu and replace it with Boracay after Dumaguete with a nice girl in tow.Right now my plans are AC 1 week then Cebu 1 week then at least 10 days in Dumaguete and then back to Cebu for a few days and then a straight month back in AC. I would prefer to go right from Angeles to Dumaguete and cut out Cebu because then I would not have to take the Supercat to Dumaguete from Cebu and I prefer to fly, plus Cebu can be on the expensive side as far as hotels and barfines go. I have been spoiled by the prices in AC.Any info on Dumaguete would be welcomed as I want a taste of that Semi Pro action I heard was so great there.College students wanting tuition money and me wanting to help a good cause, its a match made in heaven.

Regards,

McBarker

Mc Barker,

Okay Dumaguete. Love it. Took Supercat in and Flew out last trip. Stayed at a hotel outside the city as I have a fondness for warm baths with bath oils and a lovely Asian lady (holdover from my Japan days). Cost of this Hotel was P1500/nt. Had cable, nice room, refrigerator in room and a great swimming pool. A 2 min. walk to the beach. 30 minute taxi ride into town was only downside, which is big considering how nice this place is.

My fondest memories are of 23 year old "Gay", a co-ed, who would massage her lovely tits as she rode on top fucking me. Riding me slowly, moaning softly and rubbing her pert nipples and full, lovely tits. Moaning out loud to me "cum Baby", "oh please cum for me, Honey" . "ohh I'm cumming Honey, can you feel it?"

Okay, back to your question. The BOULEVARD is where you will find several nice hotels facing the water. Great seaviews along this Strip. The price for a good room was P1200 (not a standard but deluxe room). Right on the bouldvard was an "open air" Cafe where the Americans and a few Aussies/Brits hung out all day. Had really good pizzas Plenty of gorgeous girls were sitting around there eating/drinking also. Gay was working my cock 3-4 times a day so I did not move on any ladies.

Just go there. Head to this Boulevard and check out the several nice hotels there. As I mentioned in the Cebu section, there are 7 Go-Go Bars in and around Dumaguete. None are anything special but "who cares"?

Girls are everywhere when School is in session. I dropped by the internet cafe in town and it was loaded with ladies aged 18-26. At night the Boulevard was awesome with the lights of the Hotels, Clubs & Restaurants on the one side and the Philippine Sea and the lights of ships moored there on the other side.

This is a very romantic city. Great even for married guys to go with their wives or for a Honeymoon. Prices are very reasonable. You could easily find your wife there and have your Honeymoon on a future trip there.

Dragon Slayer,

Thanks for the info on Dumaguete. Ill try and get a hotel on that boulavard. After getting to the PI around May13 Ill go to Angeles for a week then I'll fly Clark-Manila-Dumaguete and then maybe on to Boracay from there.Ill be travelling around the PI for 2 months and I heard so many guys saying all these great things about women in Dumaguete when I was in Cebu, that I must now see it for myself.

Thanks Again,

McBarker

I thought I would not see any action here in Tacloban. A small city on the northern tip of Leyte. I was proven wrong. Early in the evening I headed over to neighborhood I-cafe to send out some e-mails to my local girls before having some dinner. While I was busy with my work, there was this cute girl in the booth across from mine. She smile and I smiled. Looked like a college girl type. during the two hours I was there we exchange glances and smiles over a dozen times. As I stood up to leave and pay for my hour, she followed suite. We made small talk by the counter and I walked out the door.

I find out during dinner that she was an Ex-GRO from Japan and was between jobs right now. She said she could accompany me to where I stayed if I made it worth her while. I asked how much and she said it was up to me as long as it was Manila prices. I took her back with me. In my room she took a bath then gave me a bath too. At 28, she looked younger, 5'5", long hair,small b-cup tits but firm. We were at it in that small bathroom. we then moved the action to the bed. She gave me some head (alright) then climbed on me. She worked those hips on me. Then I flipped her over and did her from behind. Continued on all night and popped me twice.

After a short break we were at it again and then finished me with a blowjob and came in her mouth. In the morning,she gave me her number and I gave her P1,500. She gave me back the P500 and said that it is okay because she knows I'll call her back. Cocky ***** but she was right, I did call her back.

Looks: 7/10
Body: 8/10 slim , I prefer more padding.
BJ: 5/10 more licking than sucking.
CIM: Yes
Anal: No
GFE: 7/10
Damage: P1,000 for overnight stay.

Anyone with up to date info on Baguio or Ilocos..??

Many thanks

the Flying Scotsman

Just recalling from memory, I went to a bar/disco/massage place outside Baguio City. I think the place was called the "CAVE" then. I am not absolutel sure. Anyway, you can get a drink, listen to a live band. You can get a girl through the mamasan/papasan. You can select. And there is a room on the premises that you can do the deed. I remember there was a narrow road that you have to go through going into the club. I absolutely have no idea if it is still on business. I also remember a massage place on the main street in Baguio. I can't remember the name either. I got extra's at the massage place in the city too.

Isagani..maraming salamat...im gonna ask a taxi driver about the places you mention..gotta spend a couple night there so might as well check out the girls... tnx for ur help..

The Flying Scotsman

Walang ano man, Flying S.

Have fun.

Osakagin asked here 2 months ago (sorry for the delay, I have been busy) for an update on Sabang nightlife. I spent the first two weeks of November in Puerto Galera, Mindoro. Before travelling, I tried to search here for some relevant reports on PG or Sabang but nothing of any substance turned up. To be honest, within a day of arriving in Sabang, you will anyway have found out most of what you need to know, it’s that small and chock-a-block full of diving types who are very open and sociable. But I thought it would be worth giving a view of the scene as I saw it to help anyone (like myself or Osakagin) who is thinking of or planning a visit but doesn’t know quite what the night life will be like. As you will see the costs of P4P had recently increased quite significantly. No doubt since then things have changed or developed further. Any updates please Osakagin or anyone else?

So here goes.

Firstly, look at the maps that most of the hotel websites provide and you will see that “Puerto Galera” (or PG) is a pretty spread-out place. PG itself is the main town where most of the boats arrive (though you can also sail direct to Sabang or White Beach if you know the scedules). It’s a pleasant enough place in the daytime but I never saw it at night. One person told me it was dead, someone else said there were plenty of girls around the bars in the evenings. The guys from the Badladz dive shop and bar on the harbour in PG seemed to spend their evenings in Sabang, so I guess PG may not be that great on the P4P front. Also, all the aficionados are mourning the closure of the best pub in PG, the “Dog and Duck” or something like that.

The distances between PG and Sabang and the other local villages/resorts around the natural harbour are not huge but big enough to be unpleasant in the heat. Also the terrain is hilly and it’s very humid in the forest. You can walk if you really have to, but a Jeep or motorbike is really needed to get around. The roads are OK in places and dismal in others. This is difficult motorbike driving, poor, muddy road surfaces an steep hills. If like me your biking experience is limited to cruising the excellent roads around Phuket on a 125 HP Honda, you really should think twice before trying to get around the PG area in the same way.

Sabang, on the open-sea side of the natural harbour that is PG, is the main tourist destination and night life hot-spot. You can stay at the Lagunas, or at Sinandigan or Encenada, but for action everyone seems to head for Sabang. The trouble is that Sabang is a small dirty dump of a place. Every time it rains, the main road right in the centre by the shops gets submerged in a small mudslide. The “formal” night life consists of three discos (gogo bars) on a narrow strip of concrete that forms the main “street” of the town (Sabang’s version of Pattaya’s Walking Street, LOL), or at least the tourist part of it near the beach.. There is however a very active freelance scene, termed streethunters locally. Try the video bar by the discos or the bars on the beachfront and you will find plenty of ladies, though it may take a while. Also a lot of these girls have been around the block more times than a NY taxi.

The three discos are Sunset, Sabang and Philippine Village, all within spitting distance (the latter two are right opposite each other). A few weeks before I arrived these last two had been taken over by Koreans which had upset the local expats no end. (I was staying with two friends who run a hotel at Sinandigan and have lived here for 5 years, so I got the inside track.) Why, you may ask, should this worry anyone but the local stray dog population who may soon end up on kebab skewers? Well, the cosy situation that had prevailed was that the bar fine for a girl was 500 Pesos and the girl got a flat 1000 Pesos for the whole night (they don’t do short time, though you could always kick her out I guess). When you take into account the dropping value of the Peso and the relative cost of, say, Thailand, this is cheap, almost down to Cambodian levels. What the Koreans did that made them so unpopular was to increase the bar fine to 1000 Pesos.

As if that wasn’t enough, they then decided to dick around with the rules. While I was there they changed it to 1000 Pesos bar fine before 11:00, 500 Pesos after. But a mate paid his 500 Pesos at 11:00 and then they decided that the girl couldn’t leave until 11:30. By the time she got changed it was not much before midnight before he finally got out of the disco.

I fancied a delightful young lady called Michelle in the Philippine Village one evening, 10/10 on my scale, and paid the 1000 Pesos to the mamasan at 9:30. Then she turns around and decides that the girl has to do another dance. So I told her to feck off and took my 1000 Pesos back and stormed out with another mate to go streethunting. But at that early hour there was not much going on outside. I checked the Sunset disco again, but it was not looking good, so I had to go back into the Village, cap in hand, and give the nasty old sod of a mamasan the 1000 Pesos for a second time and wait for Michelle to finish her dance. The plus on this was that she turns out to be a great dancer and was a real pleasure to watch. I ranted at the mamasan for a while, but it didn’t do much good. She let the girl go change and by the time we left it was 10:45.

This was where living outside Sabang became a right pain. It’s only about 1 km to Sinandigan, but the road is not fully surfaced, was very slippery in places, has no lights, is in fairly dense palm jungle, and has a very steep upwards hill coming out of Sabang. We didn’t have flashlights and her shoes were not made for walking in that sh*t. No problem, there are dozens of Jeepneys parked along the road. I enlisted two lads from the Village to help me rouse a driver. Half an hour later one guy gave up, the drivers were all asleep and didn’t want any more business. The other phoned PG and got a Jeepney all the way out from there (about a 15-20 minute journey in itself) to take us the final kilometre to Sinandigan. By this time it was almost midnight, 2 ½ hours after I first handed over my 1000 Pesos bar fine, and as we drove off it started pissing down with rain again. I was staying at Coral Cove, on the sea, and remember that steep hill I mentioned coming out of Sabang? Well it’s opposite side goes down from Sinandigan village to Coral Cove but the driver was no way going down there in his large Jeepney in the dark and torrential rain. So we were abandoned at the basketball court and had to walk the final leg in a wonderful tropical storm complete with thunder and lightning.

(BTW, isn’t it just wonderful to walk in the countryside in a warm tropical downpour with a cutie on your arm, imagining the delights that await you at journey’s end?)

OK, I know I could have stayed at a hotel in Sabang, but my money was mostly back in the hotel at Coral Cove, so I needed to get back somehow (I’d taken enough, but had given another guy 2000 Pesos to see him through the night). Also, the room in Coral Cove was very nice and comfortable and clean with AC. In the end Michelle turned out to be well worth the effort. Flawless body, a bit shy at first but after a while she opened up and we spent 3 very happy hours screwing around. And a repeat in the morning before she left, a full cunning linguist session for breakfast. Who needs corn flakes? I did give her a fairly hefty tip, which the local expats gave me sh*t for later, but she was worth it. The Koreans may be screwing around with the rules and screwing us all for money, but if the product is this good, I am happy to pay.

A lot of the “local expats” I mention live here full-time but on fairly small pensions, so they are quite concerned about anything that raises their costs significantly. Some have moved down from Angeles after living for years up there. Don’t ask me why.

Given the transport situation I wasn’t spending every night in Sabang. I just went in about half a dozen times in two weeks. After a while the mamasan in the Village got to know me and stopped messing around. My last night there I asked her for a recommendation. She pointed to a girl sitting in the shadows at the back. This usually means they have a face like a monkey and I was not too keen, but I went and bought her a drink and she seemed OK so I took her. 1000 Pesos to mamasan again but straight out with the girl this time. My two mates had a jeep arranged to take us back at 10:00 sharp, but they had had no luck with the streethunters. Again, a lot of arguing about the details, but they drove me and the girl (Leah) back and then returned to Sabang to resume their chase. Now looks- and body-wise this girl was certainly no Michelle, but she was none too bad and had a fairly good body, no baby scars. We screwed around in the hotel TV lounge until the other two finally returned 30 minutes later with four freelancers. We then said “Goodnight” and headed for my room. Leah turned out to be very accommodating. She saw to my little peccadilloes, and then proceeded unbidden to give me almost a full body bath with her tongue. This was awesome as she did it very slowly and sensuously and homed in on the old python so that she was sucking on that bit of meat last. On the way she did a full rim job on my rear, as well as licking all around my balls and putting them individually in her mouth and sucking and chewing (very gently!) on them. This activity all came as quite a surprise, and I decided I liked the Village mamasan after all for recommending this little beauty to me.

Well, that’s enough of my activities in PG. I did go into the other two discos, but the Philippine Village is by far the best of the three. They’ve even been innovative and cut the stage into three so that you can sit and get a better view on several selections of girls. Sabang disco has many girls too, also Korean owned now so high bar fines. The stage is just a rectangle and dancing is not very exciting. There’s no topless at all by the way, let alone nude. The girls are friendly enough, but I only took one from here and can’t remember anything special about her worth writing about.

Sunset disco is still locally owned and has the old system of a 500 Peso bar fine. But for some reason it always seemed dead with a very limited selection of ladies when I was there. The rumour was also that the Koreans were going to stop unaccompanied ladies going in to the Village and Sabang discos, and bar Filipinos, which the local expats reckoned would end up in a riot. I await further developments.

I'll be in the PI for most of March with my fiancee. I have been to Bagio before but it was a long time ago. We are planning to go there for a couple days. Anyone have a recommendation for a hotel?
Thanks

Sprokit69,

The Attic Inn (Swagman group) in Bagio used to be decent. But it has been years since I was there.



Toy Boy,

Excellent post. I almost passed on it due to length, but good info.
For nice rooms in Sabang try Atlantis.

For those with some dirt riding experience, a dirt bike is great fun in PG. You'll do a lot more exploring. Also, the walk between Sabang and PG is a pleasant trip in good weather with appropriate shoes.

Caution with "streethunters" and all girls in Sabang actually. Shabu is rampant. Watch your valuables. Not bad enough to keep me from going and having a great time, just be aware.

Hi guys,

I'm going to be in Iriga City, Bicol for about a week. I didn't see anything in the archives about this area. Can anybody tell me some places to visit while I'm here?

Thanks,

The teddybear

Firedick,

Thanks. You’re right about watching the girls. The mate I gave the 2000 Pesos to had a successful night of streethunting but had the money stolen by his second lady of the night while he slept in a room at the Big Apple. Admittedly he was very drunk and was probably asking to get ripped off. But he lives there and has done for 5 years and didn’t seem to feel there was any physical danger to himself from being drunk and incapable with the girls.

Maybe I am just old and boring, but I’ve read too many stories to risk getting legless while mongering (not to mention the disastrous effect too much alcohol has on my performance and enjoyment of sex).

Regards,

TB

I went to Masbate and stayed at Mary's house on a small island. There were beautiful coral beaches. You could look at many beautiful species of coral at low tide. They grew corn on the other side of the island. Also coconuts. The island was about 1 and 1/2 miles long and 1/2 mile wide. When the tide was going out, there was a strong current right in front of her house that you could not stand up in. There were also ripples in the water in between two islands. We could receive a cellphone signal at one point on the beach and also at one point on the hill, from the capital city about 20 miles away over water. She lives in a cinderblock house with her parents, but we had plenty of privacy. Her parents want a small gasoline electric power generator. Other people there live in bamboo houses. Her phone number is +[blue][Contact info deleted by Admin][/blue]. No electricity. No Phone. No cars. Spring water to drink, and well water.

Hi Guys,

Is anyone familiar with any action in Baguio City? I am particularly interested in what might be available in the massage parlors as it is a little more discreet.

Thanks for your advice here.

Hank

I took a ride on the Super Ferry 9 last Wednesday on my way to Cagayan de Oro. Normally, I would have taken the plane but had to take my car and some equipment with me. Should have been a ho-hum trip but I noticed a nice young filipina eyeing me since I boarded. Bumped into her early Thursday morning while checking out to see if my car was still secure in the hold. Striked a conversation and invited her for breakfast. Somewhere during our conversation she wanted to see what a state room looked liked. Seeing this as a hint, I invited her to check it out.

While in the room, we chatted some more and soon sex was the topic. I cut to the chase and ask how much would it cost me. She said P1,500. I asked if it was for all night she said for the rest of the trip. A day and a half until port, not bad for P1,500 and I got a 22 y.o. who was a 7 - 8 and 5'8" tall. Jokay (short for Joanna Kay) had a cute face and even cuter breast, 34B maybe slightly less but very firm. We showered in the small bathroom stall and started right there.

Her nice round ass was nice to look at when doing her from behind. Makes a nice contrast with my white skin and her brown complexion. just before I came she turned around and finished me off with her mouth and made me cum in her face. Showered each other clean and dried off to continue the action in the small full size bed. She knelt in between my legs and started with a blowjob to wake me little friend up as I lay there and let her do all the work as she rode me as I stiffened up. Slowed her down as she bounced hella fast which made me flip her over and did the work my self. Tried to pace myself since it was still 24 hours until we reach port. I awoke sometime in the afternoon with her arms around me. Just laid there as I recovered some more.

Did her one more time when she woke up and after dinner. Had to stop the action after midnight as the crew did some ticket check after stopping in Dumaguete and she had to go get her ticket and her compartment with the friends she was travelling with. She returned later that morning and finished where we left off. The last few hours we just cuddled and chatted until we reached the port of CDOC. We exchanged numbers since I will be in the city for a week or so. As promised I paid her P1,500 and added an extra P200 for some cab fare.

Not bad at all for a first time being picked up on a ferry trip. Made my trip a lot more pleasurable. I'm booked right now at the De Luxe Hotel which the company chose and used before. At P1,800 a night a get AC, CableTV, a mini bar(yeah, right) and the bathroom has a tub. Snug (with my 6'2" , 205 lbs frame) but it is a tub. Did not do much action for now but will explore tonight once Jokay comes over later this afternoon. It's a Sunday but most colleges and universities are out already. Jokay will show me around on where to find some more college girls who are looking to score some extra cash for their next tuition. Will post my findings soon.

Drove to Laoag and on the way there stopped in San Fernando at Oasis Hotel. Although the hotel is guest friendly, it charges extra 400 pesos for an overnight guest. Anyway, got there in the evening, asked the bellboy about the local action and he suggested me to go to Stilettos at Southern Palm Resort. Went there around 9pm. This is a typical go-go bar. There were about ten dancers on the stage and one caucasian customer in his 60s. I immediately got attention of the whole establishment. Ordered a beer and started having a chat with a mamasan. While chatting with her and glancing at girls she was suggesting, I noticed a very cute girl on the stage. She didn't really look like a typical filipina - she had a sharper nose and fairer skin. Asked for her and in 5 minutes I was chatting with her at the table. It was pretty incomfortable because everybody kept starring at us, so I suggested to leave. Paid 1000 pesos and was on my way out. Instead of taking her straight to the hotel I took her to the restaurant nearby to have dinner. I think that was an important step as she really warmed up to me and was more acting as a gf. We went back to the hotel one hour later and I had a great night. She was gentle and passionate at the same time. Great blowjob and fucking in multiple positions. I was shocked when she offered me to fuck without condom. I, obviously, turned the offer down. In the morning I woke up with her sucking me. It was great. Had a breakfast and gave her 500 pesos tip. I was planning to see her on the way back, but didn't have time and just drove through. Maybe some other time.

In Laoag, stayed in Fort Illocandia. Nice place, but no action. Went downstairs to karaoke bar and tried to talk to the manager who was chinese and didn't speak a word of English. Was offered chinese girls but the price was a bit too high for me. So I passed. If anyone can suggest places to go while in Laoag, would greatly appreciate it.

Cheers

HRC,

The Philipino practice of openly "staring" is something that took me quite a while to get used to. Of course it doesn't have the same meaning in the PI that it does in the west, just as they don't point the same way westerners do, but knowing this doesn't completely eliminate the urge to check my zipper or something when it happens.

Just got back from the PI. Spent three days in Bagio with my Fiancee. Great time, love the cooler weather up there.

I intended to look for some of the hotels folks here suggested, but After getting off the bus at the main terminal, a schill provided info about Villa Rosal downtown. Eva and I looked over the info and she decided it sounded legit and we should check it out.
Rate was P1700 for a double (1 queen size bed) which included breakfast for 2 each day. (typical filipino bfast, longsilog, tocilog, or tapsilog. )

Not sure about massage parlor info that Hank Starm wanted as I didn't need that kind of service. We did spend our evenings at a few nightclub establishments, most notably a complex on the 3rd and 4th floors of the building to the left of the MArket as you face it.
You get to it from the pedestrian overpass, just listen for the music. There are at least 2 live band clubs, plus numerous karaoke places. Beer seemed cheap at around 50p.
Did the normal tourist things during the day. I was the guide since I've been before but she had not.

Guys,

This is the Slayer back here. Anyone in Dumaguete later this month? I will be there for at least a few days of very serious fucking/sucking. I have a gorgeous, young lady there but you can find me at night on the boulevard, especially late as Dragons need to be slayed at that time.

let me know. I wear black. 6'4"/ 240 lbs. Gorgeous Filipina with huge tits hanging on me. Lets meet for a drink and a chat.

Regards,

D.S.

HRC,

Sorry for the slow response. If you're still in Laoag (which I doubt) you've no doubt found the only action. The trike hangout on the West end of town, say 2 Km past the Texicano Hotel and toward the river. For those of you who haven't been there, don't make a special trip. The scene is pretty much a local thing. I never felt threatened, more like out of place. The "bars" are more like lean too's and the format is the Filipino style. One girl on stage taking 3 songs to go from clothes to buck naked. Mostly girls that would ruin your appetite.

A heads up for fellow motorcycle riders: Laoag is one city in the RP that actively enforces it's helmet law. True of Olongaupo too, but to a lesser degree.


Good point on the dinner. I had this little honey with the most amazing set of tits I have ever seen (old timers may remember Joy out of Top Hat in AC 10 years ago). The first time I BF'd her I couldn't wait to get back to the room. Service was only OK and I would not have given her a second night, normally. But JEEZ, those tits ! So, next time we had a little dinner and a short bar hop. Holy crap what a difference ! GFE in public, maniac once the door was closed. Over the next few years, Joy was a regular and became a pretty good friend while I was living in AC. The last time I was in AC, I ran into Joy. She was working as a waitress at Brown Sugar. She's a little spinner, maybe 4'10" to 5', long hair, those tits and an girlish smile that lights up her face. She has a few miles now, but still highly reccommended.

FD

HRC,

Would be interested to know how much they were asking for chinese girls at Fort Ilocandia. Im up that way again in June and will probably stay there again. Last time I was with a couple girls but will go alone this time.

Firedick, appreciate your comments on the local scene in Laoag. Sounds like it hasn't changed much :)

For what its worth, if you're passing through, Urdaneta has a few good clubs now on the main highway. Worth checking out.

Happy Mongering,

Pals,

I will be in Dumaguete very soon. If anyone is there and wants to hook up, just Pm me or Post a message here ( no deadbeats, losers or cock blockers. please). I am definitely "UP" for this trip. My Honey in Dumaguete with the huge tits will greet me at the airport. I wil be hanging on the boulevard day/night with this gorgeous lady.

See you soon.

Just got back from 6 days in Boracay. I took a SEAIR 19 seater from Manila to Catlacan, and from there a hotel banka straight to the beach in front of the hotel. It takes about 1 hour for the flight and the SEAIR flight leaves from the old domestic terminal. The ticket was about $110 US roundtrip. It was a good thing that I took my honeyko with me as I didn't see much opportunity for picking up any of the local talent. Eventhough Boracay was packed with people the week after Easter, it looked like it would not exactly be easy to find a girl to have some fun with. I was fortunate to have brought a fine looking lady with me to keep me company, but anytime she was left on her own, she was constantly being hit on by the desperate ones who had not brought along a friend. Based on what I saw, I would definitely make plans to bring along a girlfriend if you are going to be spending time in Boracay.

I stayed at the Boracay Regency Hotel during my stay, and the hotel is a pretty nice place, but pricey. It ran about $120 US per night, including breakfast for 2. If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't worry too much about having the breakfast included. There are many beachside restaurants and bars that serve good breakfast fare, less expensive that the breakfast included price the hotel asked for.

The diving is OK in this area, but the main highlight is the beach and the activities that go along with it. I would highly recommend Boracay as a place to go in PI, but just make sure that you bring your own lady to add to the experience there.

Hawaii Man,

I dove Boracay last year, it was nice. went out 4 different times to different places. Do some more research on places to stay though. I rented a 4 bedroom house on White Beach for only $150.00 a night and there were 13 of us. Just some info hope it helps.

Just got back from PI visited Bacolod City after not been there for 25 years. Action near the casino area known as Golden Fields was hot and furious. First night security guard of Kundutel set me up and sent a girl to my room about 18-19 years old. Was wiling to do anything including anal. Cost 1,000 pesos ( about $20) plus 100 pesos tip to guard.
Second night walked around the bars and karaoke area. Pimps all over the place. Chicks for 800 pesos picked up 2 girls for a 3some, all teens.
Third night, picked 2 girls again early twenties same price. Was too tired to finish both but was able to take hidden video. Could not complain for cheap pussies. Be careful some girls appear to be under 18. Some may give bj w/o socks, don't disregard protection. Stayed at SeaBreeze Hotel about 800 pesos per night.
Massage parlors are at 350 pesos for massage. HJ 500 pesos. Did not ask for full service. On to Cebu...

I am going to Sabang next month. Any iside scoups would be appreciated. Places to stay, dive,rent motorcycles,chicks, good stuff like that. Should I spend time in Manila or go strait to Sabang?

Aloha Norman

Norman,

Go to page #8, read backwards from page #8 to page #1. If reading all 8 pages do not answer your questions then you may ask again. But first read please.

Just spent the last 10 days at Siargao Island with a couple of young girls (19 & 22 y.o.) I met from Yahoo! last year. Both college students from Butuan City and very freaky. In bed, that is. They agreed to come along with me as long as picked up the tab for the trip. So basically I paid for everything in exchange for sex with both of them.

Had to take a ferry from Surigao City to Dapa.A fastcraft boat ride was P200/person each way to the island plus another P1,200 for bringing the scooter (Yamaha 150) on the ferry.Stayed at a resort cottage in Gen. Luna on the east side of the island right beside Cloud 9 resort. Cost me P800 a day for an aircondition hut/cottage. Meals were mostly fresh grilled fish, calmari or mussels. If not we headed for the local turo-turo or carinderia. No fast food shops in this island. Only Globe and Smart services as well.

Not much of a nightlife in the island unlike when they had the Int'l Surfing Competition last September. Local girls were not much to look at but there were a few worth noticing. Definitely a "Bring your own girl" place. Not much to do around here but surf, dive and chill. Most of my time was spend in the shack with the two young ladies. Gave each one their first anal and lesbian experience.

Val is a tall and slim 19 y.o. with a bell boy hair style. Small breast but nice hips and waist for slim person. She was shy at first fucking with another person watching and that I was her second guy. She was awful the first two days in bed, even scratched my dick with her teeth and gagged a lot. It was great teaching her and in a few days was eager to try new positions and began experimenting herself. Her pussy was tight and needed a little work to get her wet.

Her friend, Tata, the 22 y.o. was more experienced in bed. At 5'5" she had a nice tight body and long hair that goes halfway down her back. She gives the best head I had in a while and doesn't mind swallowing. She especially likes it when I cum on her friend as she licks it up. That's how the lesbo action started and the girls keep going at each other even when I get tired and pass out.

Did them on the shack,on the beach, in the water, on the rocks, on a deserted island and even on my surfboard (not an easy thing to do). Tata even gave me a blow job while driving back to Butuan City despite Val's protest that it would distract my driving. Had one last romp with the two of them at their apartment before making my trip back to the Lipata Ferry Terminal for a Ferry ride to Tacloban where I am at right now. Altogether, I spent about P19,000 (about $350) for about 10 days. That includes P1,000 tip for each girl.

I'm going to miss those two when I'm back in Makati. This land trip drive back is just gong to make it worst driving alone. I'm going to spend a day or two with the Japayuki girl I met last year here. On Monday it will be back to the daily grind at the office once more. I've been gone from Manila/Makati for awhile and it will be great toexplore the bars and clubs once more. Especially now that the election mayhem is just about over.

To Norman,

I've been in Sabang for the new year, I had one of the best times of my life! my advise is: don't waste time in Manila go straight to Sabang. Best way is to take a taxi or bus to Batangas and then a 1 and a half hour ferry trip directly to Sabang beach. Any agency in Manila can arrange that.

it's plenty of diving centers, best for me are Big Apple and Cocktail divers, they're located in very good resorts too. I've never had so many chicks in such a short time youll' find them in the bars after 9 p.m. or in the three girl-bar (Village, Sabang Disco, forgot the third one) You can't miss them because there's only one road in Sabang! there's also a "normal disco" where you can try some pick up's.

To take a girl out of a bar you need to pay a bar fine of 1.000P or 500P if after midnight. Watch out for the mamas who will ask you to offer them lady's drinks (400P!) on. feel free to kindly refuse saying you want to keep the money for the girls, mamas can be annoying sometimes especially at the Village which on the other hand has the best choice of girls, consider that you are going in low season. Normal tip for the girls is 1.000P for the night all the resorts are girl friendly. I used to bring them in at any time.
Most of the girls don't like threesomes but if you try a few ones you'll propbably find one who does.

Diving is good but not as spectacular as in the Red Sea.

Have a great time

Drago

I'll be going to Allen, Cabacungan, Northern Samar. Anyone have any info on this place? Any web sites for tourists? Any information would be apreciated.

Bud

Pals,

I will be back in early July. I am considering Surigao City after not having visited it since 1996. I made 4 trips there back then. Stayed at the Tavern which was a dump but the best place to stay.

Have things improved there? I do not stay in pension houses or rooms. Long since the days when I had to budget my money. Are there any decent hotels on Surigao now in or around Surigao City? Also, is the little restaurant next to the Tavern with the karaoke still there?

I have a new honey from chat in Surigao and it might be fun to go there again, but NOT if I have to live like I did there in 1996. Better to have her come to Davao instead.

One guy posted about spending $350 in ten days on an Island there. Okay if it has a/c, cable tv, fine food, etc. I mean I'm not a recent college grad or kid anymore. I spend a good amount of time fucking myself crazy in the Phils, China, Thailand and Central America, but not without the comforts of home.

Dragon Slayer

DS,

Not much has changed in Surigao City. The Tavern is still there but you might want to check out the Gateway Hotel on Km.1 of the highway. I don't know if the restaurant you are mentioning is the Frank Lloyd but it is a small A/C resto with a karaoke. There is also a new BBQ joint across that, too. A couple of new shops an a grocery store with a small food court called T.T.& Co. on Boromeo Street. A couple of niteclubs like AdEn or Sidewings and one on Capitol Road called Jannex which is also a pensione house.

The place is pretty much dead after 10:00 PM and the only way out of these place is either through the Lipata Ferry Terminal with ferries to Tacloban. The Airport by Km. 4 with service three times a week by Asia Spirit to Cebu. I don't know if they have a direct Manila Flight yet. And the last place is the pier itself with a Superferry service twice a week and a dailyferry to Cebu from Cokaliong Lines. Other than that its the Bachelor Lines at the bus terminal with service to Butuan City and CDOC.

Sorry to inform you that the island of Siargao has no cable service. The place I stayed at is nothing more than a oversized two bedrom cottage with a bath. It has a strong A/C but nothing more. No TV or radio. No nitelife, either during of season. No taxi's but van service is available. If your brave and willing, there is those crazy habal-habal. Basically a motorcycle modified to carry 3 to four passengers plus the driver. Very native that will allure only surfers or divers. The Gen.luna side offers great waves. No fine restaurants here, just carinderias, turo-turos and grilled fish. You can access the island either by fastcraft by Asko from Surigao City or by SEAAir from Cebu.

Which reminds me, Surigao City only has two fastfood joints. Jollibee and Greenwich Pizza. One of the few places I've been without a 7-11 store.

Guys:

I need to be in Zamboanga in early June. Does anyone know anything about the place. I've heard that there is some fun to be had, but I have no idea where to go.

Thanks for any advice.

GE

I guess Surigao is basically unchanged. The Tavern it will be again. I hope they at least installed some decent beds there. As I recall the food was always good in the restaurant. I wonder if they still charge extra for using a credit card to settle the bill (just "love" these nickle-dimers).

The karaoke was right next to the Tavern Hotel. Walked out and about 50 feet to the entrance to this place. Stayed open until at least midnight. Had pussy hanging out in there at night (I always had pussy in Surigao). There was no a/c in this place but Pussy. Tables with candles and people singing from a handheld mike.

I do not do fast food but eating good in Surigao City was never a problem during my four trips there back in 1996. The lady I plan to meet there is gorgeous, with great lips and a nice body. Chatted with her on webcam and she is not an "internet pro" or a hustler. Just a gorgeous, lonely filipina needing attention, love and affection from a daring, dashing guy like the Slayer. Only drawback is she has kids, which means she is most likely broke. Been separated 2 years, meaning very horny.

This will be another lovely lady, great fuck, wonderful woman who I will end up assisting from time to time. But you "pay for it one way or another". GoodEnough was very impressed by the number of ladies I keep in contact with in various places. He should see it around Christmas or birthdays. Last October I had four (4) birthdays to celebrate between October 9 and October 20. Did a bit of shopping. Ate a lot of birthday cake. Not to mention four (4) romantic dinners by candlelight. Lots of good, genuine French champagne (GE if you are here, Ronelyn & I in Cebu ate B/D cake, drank Champagne from the jacuzzi in my Suite at MCH). But I digress.

Surigao in July it will be.

Dragon Slayer

Goodenough,

Last year, the company I worked for put me up at the Garden Orchid Hotel based on the person I replaced. Pretty good placed with cable tv and even had a stereoin the room. As for fun, I can't remember much since I was mostly doing business with the PPA and DENR. But my host and guide did keep me entertained by showing me around the city and stuffing my face. I always felt like all I ever did there was eat. Met a few college girls and took the offer of one of the security guards with a couple of girls but nothing to write home about.

I felt safe in the city but the travel by land from General Santos got me a bit worried with all the military checkpoints through South Cotobato, the hills of Maguindanao and Lanao del Sur. Probably the most militarized region in the Philippines.

Let me know, If you find anything there. I know I have to be there sometime later this year. Oh, two things that stick to mind is the restaurant on the10th or 11th floor of the Skypark Hotel and The rooftop restaurant of the Hotel Perlas or Perlitas, I think. Great view,upper crust crowd and nice dining menu.

DS,

One thing I did notice new in Surigao City was some new colleges in the city. Probably explains the amount of female students in uniform during in the summer break. Too many tricycles and no taxi service in this town. But the city is small enough to walk around and a quick tricycle ride only cost P4.00. Not much to see but the restaurant inside the Pier/PPA area has some great dishes. Adriano's by the Sea is run & owned by the Head PPA in the city. Do business with his son who is a local attorney. Unfortunately, no action here.

DS,

I think your best bet will be the Gateway Hotel. I have stayed at both Tavern and Gateway. Gateway is newer, has a nice restaurant, and even a bar.

Have fun,

Datamater

GoodEnough,

"Guys: I need to be in Zamboanga in early June."

GE: Nobody needs to be in Zamboanga and 99.999% of the world's population would question anybody's need to venture there apart from to have cheap sex.

Can't wait for the report!

GoodEnough,

Okay Faulk, enough and back to your cage now. That's a good fella. I was going to tell you about Zamboanga City over the phone but obviously, one of our guys must be hanging with Hans dickhead and Genius whatever the fuck up in the Manila section (very reason I stopped Posting there). People need to learn some manners and quit trying to be Jim Carrey.

I made ten (10) trips to Zamboanga City from 1991 through 1995. Did not learn it was dangerous to be down there until AFTER my 5th Trip there. Lantaka by the Sea Resort is beautiul. It is really nice dining right by the water, watching the ships out at Sea.

The decent Nightlife is mostly in Clubs outside the city on Tetuan highway and tricycles take you there in ten minutes. I scored some of my best solid boardfeet of pussy there. Tons of gorgeous ladies and it is a nice place.

Since I was last there a new, luxury Hotel was built. The new airport is nice and it is similar to the new Davao airport. I would assume that with so many US Marines there now, more Clubs have been opened to accomodate the demand. I heard recently that the Marine presence has reduced the risk of activity by whatever Abu losers they have not finished off.

How did I hear? Just so happens that a lady I used to fuck in Zamboanga City wrote to me recently. Perhaps you need her address? Her entire Family is Police and Military so you should be safe. Had some hot, younger sisters/ cousins. One was 15 back in 1995 so she is a nice 24 now. The other is most likely 30 now but nice and fluent in English. Tons of cousins & lovely friends also.

Need to go there on business. It's but one of the garden spots where I work. Others include Basilan and Tawi Tawi. Why would I go there for cheap sex when I can get all of that that I want or need here in Davao? However, if you know, as you seem to, about cheap sex in Zamboanga, why not post it?

dragon slayer:

just read your post, and am seriously starting to wonder whether there's any city in the pi in which you do not have ladies. what a resource! most of the danger there in zamboanga does not come from abu saif, but from clashes between local muslim rebels and the philippine army. hopefully, the peace agreement will be signed soon. i need to go there the second week in june to make a speech and be present at some events my company is hosting. if i find that it's really good though, maybe we can go back in july and check it out together.

our security there is pretty tight, so i'm not sure if i will be able to slip the noose and go chasing pussy, but i will sure try. speak to you from cebu.

GoodEnough,

Just a little history to keep you safe. Signing peace agreements between the Muslim rebels and the Philippine army has been going on for the last 50 years or so. That happens all the time. There are several factions of Muslim rebels and signing an agreement with one doesn't stop the other factions from continuing hostilities. Anyways, if the money isn't flowing good for either parties, there is really no reason to break the agreement. There is not one instance that either parties were penalized for breaking an agreement. All it does is create headlines sometimes none at all. Who cares about Philippine jail especially in the South? Hostilities make money and you got to understand that. So, don't let your guard down no matter what you hear.

here is a small report about the beautifull island of boracay. if you plan to visit this island, just be aware that seair airlines is not for the faint hearted. their planes are small, so small and it can be scary, so it could be wise to choose asian spirit instead.

there is only one place where i have noticed a few prostitutes every night and that bar is "summer place, sex shooter bar".
it is located right in the center of long beach, between d'mall and boracay regency. the girls are not that special or great looking and they are not so many of them, between 5 to 10 per night, but they did still outnumber the punters every night last week.

i could not bring any of these girls at my place since i already had someone waiting for me, so this cute joanna asked me to go to her place for a quickie (at 02am). her appartment was so miserable that i could not feel horny in her place. it was hot, terribly small, my head was touching the ceiling. as soon as i entered, she took a small pan that was hidden under her bed and decided to [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord134][CodeWord134][/url](not as romantic as the hydillic boracay).
she then undressed, gave a nice bbbj and came on top of me.
i payed 1500 pesos and she seemed more than satisfied with this.

on the way back to my hotel (since someone was getting impatient to see me), i walked again in front the summer place and a drunk lady grabbed me and asked to come at my place.
as it was impossible and as i was not horny enough to go to her room, she did suggest for a quick shag on the beach.
it is probably a very stupid idea, but i wanted to give it a try and the beach was nearly empty at 03am.
that 30 year old girl kissed me like a real nymphomaniac, pushed me again a tree and sucked me. i could not hold it anymore and it finished soon in a nice cim.
for all the people who would like to try this on the beach, it is really a stupid idea as there are many mosquitoes and ants on the beach. besides this, it is hard to explain afterwards why there is some sand in your pants.

certainly not a destination for mongers as the choice is too limited, but it is not dead.

Steve,
Now that was a great report. I've only heard about positive things there and it's nice to be made aware of some slight drawbacks. I have learned one thing as far as being out late at night in PI, bug lotion!

Bud

Master Blaster:

Thanks for the advice. What you say is, by and large true, but things in the Muslim areas here are getting better. More development money is flowing in, the areas are getting more attention and more funding from the National Government, and the incidence of violence is decreasing. Also the US has promised the MLF huge sums of money for various programs if they lay down the weapons. The cease fire that's been in effect for months while the peace negotiations drag on is holding.

Thanks for the concern.

GoodEnough

GE,

Like I said, things get better when money is flowing. Money is the only catalyst that affects the conditions in Mindanao. Peace worsens as soon as money starts to dissipate. The "money for arms" agreements are more of a publicity gimmick since rebels only surrender unserviceable or obsolete firearms and they also end up buying better arms. It gives the illusion of stability and peacefulness when media carries that type of news. The military does not complain since it makes them appear as if they are doing their jobs. I know this for a fact since I have relatives in the military and have businessman acquaintances who broker construction projects in rebel infested areas. Part of the money of the US which was meant to improve the living conditions of the Muslims are secretly going to the pockets of the rebel commanders by the way of protection money from construction projects in their territories. Consequently, these commanders undoubtedly bolster their readiness for the next hostilities. The military brass makes money too; I'll keep it as that. That scenario keeps the money flowing and this is the reason why the Mindanao conflict will not die down easily. You see, it is all smoke and mirrors. Don't let good news fool you. Although this does not really affect much of your mongering life, it would be good if you have the right perspective of what is happening around you.

I came a cross a report in the Manila Times which may be of interest to anyone who is heading for Baguio. In the report a Bar Called Zimah Bar was raided and 12 GROs were arrested for lewd dancing. There had been complaints from the residents who stay around Magsaysay Ave, Bokawkan Road, Naguilian Road and Marcos Highway about the girls's dancing ( I wonder if the residents went in for a look!).

It was also report that unlicensed girls (freelancers) were available in these areas starting at 1000 pesos.

Castle Rock

Has anyone checked out some of the KTV Bars around the Libis or Cainta area? I hear some of the guys at work talking about places called Genie or Loveboat. Names don't sound familiar since I don't drive in those areas. Just wondering if its worth a look and if girls can be picked up from these kinds of establishments.

MasterBlaster:

Your cynicism is well-founded and what you say is true. Nonetheless, the economic situation in those areas is actually improving with major investments from overseas corporations. I think, or at least I hope, that as more employment gets created and more opportunities open up for local residents, the temptation to pick up arms will decrease. This is not utter naivete, and I have worked in war torn areas for years. The fact is though, that most people are sick of war, tired of denying their children educational opportunities due to armed conflict, and looking for an alternative. The Muslim area in Mindanao is one of the only truly democratic Muslim governments in the world, totally secular, with ample representation of women and operating from a reasonably transparent legal framework I'm not sure it's going to succeed ultimately, but people are really trying to secure the peace and to expand democratic institutions. It's cause for some optimism.

GE,

Your optimism is admirable. More power to you.

As part of my first trip to the pi, I and a friend visited Puerto Galera / Sabang, Mindoro.

For those who are visiting mindoro for the first time, a word about ferries. We got a taxi from Angeles to Batangas pier. On approaching Batangas pier, our taximan was more or less forced to stop and although I don' t understand Tagalog, i can read body language as good as the next man. I reckon they were trying to muscle in and get him to drive us to their dodgy banka boat. One of them proceeded to make himself at home in the front passenger seat when we told him in no uncertain terms to get the hell out of our taxi. Don't fall for this bullshit.

Same deal when we got to the pier - the porter was trying to get us to go with some dodgy banka deal.

The crossing takes a good 1hr.30min and if your not used to this sort of thing, it can be quite scary. In our case, our small ferry was taking quite a beating every couple of minutes.

We arrived in puerto galera and moved to sabang via trike. Note that the road between the two is a hilly mud track. Got beachfront accomodation for 800/night - probably the best accomodation we had whilst on the trip.

Now for the interesting part. There are about four 'bars' in Sabang - its a small place and you'll find them all within a few minutes. Bar fines are the same as angeles as far as i can see. Obviously the setup doesnt compare with angeles but theres enough talent around for one to have a good time. In edition, freelancers (many of home also work in the bars) work out of 'Eddies Place' and 'Big Apple' which are nice places to hang out at any time of the day or night (They're open 24 hours).

Theres also a normal disco in Sabang which fills with bar girls once the bars close at 2am.

I want go next month to the PH. Does anyone have some informations about Cagayan De Oro City, Misamis Orientel? Where to find girls? I need somes adresses and advice!

Thanks a lot in advance!

For Cagayan you can check out some of the places in the Capistrano Street area. Most places have dancing girs.

1. Gion. One of the nicer places with some real good lookers and not too pressuring thought they will ask if you want a girl and then drinks are about 1 or two per hour depending on singles or doubles.

2. Ontic. Probably a few more girls than Gion, but quality maybe slightly less. Again not too pressuring if you put your foot down.

3. Thrives, upstairs. Not too many girsl but some real good looking ones. Very very expensive though and always pushing ladies drinks.

4. Mic 'n Mucs. Upstairs, some decent looking girls, uncomfortable chairs, ladies drinks expensive, bar fines exhorbitant.

5. Lexis Bar. Not a dance joint but have a good band and usually a few freelance or office girls looking for extra cash.

6. Homecourt. Only went in once. didn't seem like too many girls neither here nor there.

7. Pyramid KTV. They've moved from the Lim Ket Kai area and opened up near the new Macro. Used to have some real good lookers dancing in front then VIP rooms in the back. Expensive.

8. There are also numerous small, unairconditioned dance joints that often have diamonds in the rough, though the places are ususally hot, smoky and lacking any selection of beer. usually just pilsen and not always cold.

9. another place that often had quite young girls was called Txters 8 or something like that.

All in all there is plenty of tail to be had. Takes a bit of time to get the hang of the place. But once they know you generally they won't mess with you too much. Bar fines can vary from 1500 to 3500. The 3500 is from the higher class joints but if the girl likes you then you can just arrange to meet them after work, or the next afternoon.

Enjoy.

Luc69,

Great post. Concise, informative.

FD

Lucifer,

Looks like you've been at CDO for a while.

Good report especially about Pyramid KTV.

PL

I had the same experience at Batangas as Joe 100. Two guys got in my taxi and told me that there were no ferries that day. Bullshit. Best way for Sabang is get the ferry straight there rather than go to PG. I saw a cutie on the ferry and should have jumped at her there and then as I never saw her without a punter the whole time I was there. Travel back to Manila is probably best avoided on a Sunday as the traffic was horrendous.

Maybe I have too much respect for the sea, but I feel those bankas quite inadequate for a safe crossing of the Batangas Straite. I understand the current there runs at 10km. / hr. so better not capsize. I also heard that crossings have not been uneventful in the past. When I go back to Manila, I always check the sea first. Last time there were no waves, just huge swells. Not relaxing!

Hey fellas,

Does anyone have any experience in General Santos City ? I have confirmed that there are flights from Manila but can't find much info . I met a total BABE from there and since I was going to Davao anyway I want to meet her. I think Americans are relatively safe in that area , unlike the Southwestern parts. I would really appreciate any light on the subject from hotels to restaurants to working girls and our hobby . About all I know is that Manny Paciou is from that city, lol.

Thanks,

Tom

Ipulltrains,

I hope you know for sure that the person you are talking to is an absolute babe. General Santos City is generally peaceful but you got to take precaution to arrange your own transportation and your own accomodation until you are absolutely sure who you are talking to. That place has a history of kidnappings. I suggest you request that you meet the entire family from the airport or from your hotel first and get a feel if they are really genuine. That is just customary in Filipino culture so don't hesitate to ask. The risk factors in GenSan are higher than in Davao City since the province is within a high conflict area. Try not to go out of the city either coz a lot of the areas outside of GenSan are high risk zones. The military has a security blanket around the area and that ensures a level of safety. I suggest you don't monger while you are trying to meet a local woman since it is a small town and everybody talks. You'll be surprised how many eyes are looking at you, looking after the benefit of the local woman and that includes the hotel staff. You are also going to be the news of the town since very few foreigners go to GenSan. Go to Davao City if you want to monger. It will just be a 3 hour bus ride. Hope you enjoy your trip. Check out http://www.gensantos.gov.ph/ for more information about GenSan.

SABANG!

I just came back from 2 weeks in Sabang and 2 weeks in Phuket. I was doing the taste test. Phuket won. But Sabang is still worth going to and I will be back, oh yes. Sabang is a little village in a small bay with exelent diving in and out of your hotel room. There are 4 discos (go go bars) and lots of hunters (free lancers) For scuba diving go to South Sea Divers ask for Sky or Paul. They offer superb service and are cool to just hang out with. In fact their dive shop is stratigicaly placed so that if you hang out there for a while you will see the whole population of Sabang walk by. During the day working girls and everbody else just cruises around and they eventualy will walk by. A friend of mine wanted to take a banka (small outrigger boat) to White Beach and suggested it would be more fun if I brought a date. No problem, I went to the dive shop, 5 min. later two girls to my taste waled by. I offred them lunch at White Beach, they went home and put on their bikinies and 10 min, later we were on our way. Life in Sabang is easy.

On to facts. Bar fine is 300 pesos and the girls want 1k for all night. Hunters usually want 1k but it is always negotible. If you want a quiet hotel try Sabang Inn or Sabang village on the edge of the bay ( 4nim. walk to the action) I stayed in Red Coral Inn (1k nite), action outside the front door. I could flip a quarter into the ocean from my balcony. Next door is big apple. Ask for Rebeca (one of the few girls with tits) she is heaps for fun and a willing partner. Tell her Andrew said "Buang"! If you are hungery try Captain Greg's huge portions and sunday the Hash House Harriers meet there. I don't recomend staying there. All of the diners there watch the girls comming out of your room in the morning and the manager/owner , I forget his name he has a pronounces Aussi accent, is an asshole The other highlite of Sabang , besides the diving was riding trail bikes with Sky. It was real National Geographic. Nacked villagers, water buffalow and river crossings. Sorry about the spelling in a hurry.

Ipulltrains,

General Santos is fine. I've been there many many times with no problems other than a nasty San Mig headache the next morning. Only a couple of places to go but they are generally fun, though you have to watch the bills fairly close as they can start padding if your not careful.

The best hotel in town is the East Asia. Runs about 1800 pesos a night. Best thing is it's close to a pretty good pool hall/bar called Cassados that is an excellent starting place. The waitresses all wear a nice little mini skirt type of uniform which is a nice touch. Food is okay. Can usually see a couple of foreigners who work in the area there. They usually know the other places to go.

Other hotels include Anchor, which runs around 720 a night. Decent enough rooms but close to a market so can get a little noisy in the mornings.

The T'Boli hotel is another one is pretty good location and is a littl e more discreet as the rooms all have their own entrance to the parking lot. No need to go through the lobby.

The Sydney hotel is okay also though I haven't stayed there for quite some time. I think the price was in the order of 1200 pesos.

There is a hotel run by an Englishman called Cambridge farms. He's a nice guy and his place is okay, but it's in a strange location. Quiet and out of the way and difficult to explain how to get to it. Taxi drivers should know it. Runs around 900 a night.

If you want to stay on the beach a decent place is the Tropicana hotel. Bungalow type rooms on a fairly decent beach. Rooms are around 800 I think. Only trouble is it's about 20 min out of town.

Regarding night life there's only a couple of places I frequently go to. One is called the Superstar. It's just off the main road, National Highway, close to another joint called Pier 8. It's supposed to be a little more upmarket, read more expensive here, than Pier 8. The quality of girls varies, but there have been some real good lookers there. Bar fines are ridiculously high, somewhere in the 3000 range which I refuse to pay. Better to try to work out a deal to meet the next day. Haven't been able to get them out after hours as I guess the mamasan has them on a tight leash.

Pier 8 operates slightly different. No bar fine but you have to wait till the bar closes to take the girl out. Somewhere around 02:00. If the girl likes you can usually get away with about 1000 pesos for them. Girls quality is generally only average, but they are usually good fun.

There is a massage joint though I can't remember the name of it. Pretty nasty rooms and showers and I wouldn't recommend it. Saw a new place that had just opened but don't know what it offers.

One other place with girls is Nightshift though it's mainly a karaoke joint and I've never really seen anything decent in there.

Regarding just regular places to go, there is a place called Mamagaya's that had a live band and decent enough food. Haven't seen too much opportunity there to meet girls though as they usually come in large groups or with their boyfriends/husbands.

A very good restaurant is called Rancho Grill. I'd say best in town.

All in all Gen San is okay for a short visit. Longer if you are into diving as they have some really good sites. See Cambridge farms for the dive shop. Don't worry about the security thing. I've been going there for the past 5 years and haven't had an inkling of any worries regarding the safety of the place. It's easy to get around, with wide streets and traffic that flows well. Some nice trips outside the city where you can see some neat things. The road past the airport gives some neat scenery that is not what you would expect from a tropical climate. Looks more Mediterranean. Along that road you can stop at the Fish Port and see some strange and interesting catches. Just get there early before it is all sold and shipped out.

A trip up past Polomolok to the Dole Pineapple plantations is pretty neat. Can pick up a bundle of 3 big pineapples for 30 Peso. That's about 60 cents US.

Contrary to what MasterBlaster said, it is not under a security blanket and you are free to wander around. Yes there are areas about an hours drive away that you don't really need to go to, but as far as the city and it's immediate surroundings, don't worry.

Have fun.

Lucifer69,

The security blanket is not intended to stop regular people to come in and out of the city. It is intended to saturate the entire area with military personnel if a rebel platoon or kidnap gang happens to drop by for an unwelcome visit. It exists but you don't see it. I have a military intelligence buddy that told me all this. Dole Philippines in Polomolok maintain their own private army that ensures the security of the compound and its executives. The notorious Pentagon Kidnap Gang uses Polomolok as a hideout and some Abu Sayyaf elements are also present. This is due to the large Muslim population in that area. Many Dole executives and employees have died through the years but you just never heard about it. They only have tombstones as evidence. If you don't me believe read these news items:

http://www.pia.gov.ph/issues/2002/is020127.htm

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/fr/591624/posts

http://www.worldreporter.org/news/anmviewer.asp?a=1044

http://www.pcij.org/imag/PublicEye/pentagon.html

http://www.sunstar.com.ph/static/net/2002/12/23/cops.link.slain.bomber.to.milf.pentagon.html

You don't hear this kind of news in Davao City. You are just one lucky dude in my opinion. Don't give others a false sense of security just because of your lucky streak. The most secure place is just within the city limits. The surrounding beaches should be okay but definitely not Polomolok. Some far away roads have MNLF and MILF checkpoints and you couldn't distinguish this from the Philippine military until it's already too late. Be cautious.

MasterBlaster

It's funny how the Pentagon, MILF and Abu's always get blamed for all the kidnappings and such. They do their share but most of the time it's actually crooked cops, army and politicians instigating it. Hell, the politicians just had an expensive election campaign they had to pay for somehow.

Regarding my "lucky streak", I've been to all the places you mentioned without incident many many times. Mainly it's due to basic common sense. Don't follow a set regular plan. Don't always take the same route at the same time. Don't tell every tom, dick and harry where you are going. And number 1, don't dress and act like you would make a good target. A kidnapping is not usually a spur of the moment thing. It takes a lot of planning, timing, surveillance, and information. For the vacationer who is there only for a day or two, it's very unlikely he would be a target. The Dole manager is an especially big target as Dole is a very large company with many many employees that easily get disgruntled and can aid the gangs with information and schedules. Many of the kidnappings originate or are aided from the inside, such as housemaids, drivers, gardeners, etc.

A lot of what is printed in the papers is usually very far from accurate. I have seen this from talking with an eyewitness to one of the Davao Death Squad encounters which was my maid as she was coming to work. The story she told me was completely different than was printed in the local newpaper. Different number of guys, different vehice, taxi versus motorcycle, different occupation of the guy who was gunned down. This was only about a 5 min walk from my house.

I'm not trying to give anyone a false sense of security as you are at a risk most everywhere in the Philippines. How about the recent murders of the German, Swiss and Brit in Boracay, one of the most advertised vacation spots of the Philippines. Most of the time people who get into trouble here in the Philippines were either stupid or looking for it and found it. The few unfortunate who got killed during a robbery and such were most likely to blame themselves. Instead of quickly agreeing to turn over their valuables they usually get angry and get confrontational. You must realize that the person robbing you probably has nothing to lose and looks at you who seems to have so much. He may have a sick child he is desparate to help or wacked out on drugs. Just hand it over, keep your mouth shut and kick yourself in the butt when he leaves and learn from the lesson. Most likely it'll only cost you a few hundred bucks and a cellphone.

Basically, all I can say is if your concerned, don't go there. I know many foreigners who live there, and many more who travel regularly there, as I do, who are very comfortable and not overly concerned. I always get a smile on my face from people who are in disbelief that I would choose to live in Mindanao. I love it down here. Much better in my opinion than Luzon or Visayas.

The less visitors down here, the more gals for us.

I go there actually. I have no issues since I am a local and I have my own security of armed personnel when I go around. I hope every foreigner that goes to Mindanao is as smart as you are but I very much doubt that. I know a lot about the corrupt authorities and they hit what they call the "nobody" and foreigners fall under the "nobodys" unless you have local ties. Foreigners are considered "nobody" because they couldn't exact the kind of retribution that powerful locals can. The poor are "nobodys". Imagine this, practically every local is related to a military personnel except for the foreigners. Arrogant foreigners are considered roadkill and not just a "nobody". The laws of the jungle still apply anywhere in the Philippines. Hey, it's not really a problem for me. I just want to state how I see things down there. For the adventurous, Mindanao is definitely the place.

MasterBlaster is right. Be cautious.

Embassy security officials are extremely aware of difficulties their citizens get into. It is interesting and quite scary to hear directly from them what the inside, often hidden, story is. Embassy travel advisories are not written for amusement and entertainment. Although embassies are under extreme pressure to lighten their advisories by the Philippine government, they are maintained with strong warnings. It is interesting that upon arrival of the new UK ambassador in the Philippines recently, he said his number one priority was to take care of the British citizens here.
Just because nothing has happened to you, does not mean all is fine. Although I have visited the Philippines countless times over decades, I never let my guard down. Bottom line is always be street wise and always make security your priority. This is particularly true if you look foreign.
After that, enjoy yourself!

If I can add my two cents here, if you ignore your country’s travel warning and go somewhere on the list and something happens to you. Even if you have adequate insurance, for say kidnapping, your company doesn’t have to pay out on you because they can turn around and say you ignored the travel warning to go to this particular place and therefore invalidated your policy with them. So your on your own.

MOALBOAL,

Has anyone been there over last few weeks? Just wanting to know how th action is at the moment, as I might be there at beginning of August. I've heard there's a few freelancers about at the Red Banana bar, etc.

Thanks

To Everyone Concerned about Security in Davao:

I have lived here now for the past 8 months, and have friends (expats) who have been living here for years. For the past two years, there have been no security-related issues here. Even during the recent elections, this place was totally calm and there were zero incidents. In fact, my company receives visitors from the US Embassy in Manila constantly and there is no restriction on Embassy personnel traveling here, which should tell you something about the safety of this place. Do not hesitate to come here for security reasons.

The isloated "hot spots" in Mindanao (where I also go for work-related reasons) are largely in the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao, in such locations as Basilan, Tawi Tawi, and occassionally Cotabato. Most of the time even these places are safe most of the time, but there's no reason at all for any of you to go anywhere near these ares.

I am much more apprehensive about my personal safety in Manila than here in Davao, where I ride around on my motorcycle at all hours of the day and night, and have never once felt threatened. I should also point out that various Western and Japanese aid agencies are pouring funds into Mindanao for various projects, and have placed no restrictions on the internal travel of personnel working on such projects. Finally, remember that the Mayor here in Davao is a genuine touch guy, and simply does not tolerate any violence in his city.

Lucifer 69 (I wonder if we know each other) is absolutely correct. All it takes to be secure here is to exercise a little common sense.

Hope this allays some of the fears of those thinking about coming here but are hesitant due to imaginary security concerns.

GE

Davao City is okay. Nobody wants to butt heads with the mayor of Davao City.

Hi guys
Anybody know of any action in Boracay? I will be going there with my GF. But if there is a chance to slip away I can check out local flavor there.
Thanks in advance
Amboy812

Has anyone been to Sabang lately? I was there about 1 year ago and there was some fine form on offer. Unfortunately I was with my lady so there was no playing around (in Angeles this is definitely not the case).

But we have now broken up so I'll be back to play next month. Thinking about hitting Sabang for 1 week followed by 1-2 weeks in heaven (Angeles).

Would appreciate some thoughts from anyone who has been to Sabang recently.

I will soon be visiting Manila and will be staying in the Alabang area. Can anyone let me know if thre is any kind of action in or around this area, as I will be spending most of my visit in the Alabang area.

Spent two weeks over at Butuan City meeting with several clients in the area. Didn't spend much time mongering since I had two lovelies to keep me busy at night. A couple of college students (one a second courser) whom I spent some time with before. Had a hard time leaving them as I headed over to Surigao City.

I was able to get my regular room at The Tavern (P850 per night) while doing attending some local summit at the city's convention center. Not much nightlife in this city especially after dark. Latest rave around here is the latest fastfood addition, Chow King. Like I said, not much. While I was at the I-cafe late one night (Ad-En on Borromeo St. is open 24 hours) I was able to strike a conversation with a cute girl surfing the dating sites. She was still in her college uniform, San Nicholas College.She asked the usual questions, where I'm from, what I'm doing in Surigao, do I have a girlfriend, where I'm staying?

Cut to the chase, I asked her to show me around. She said she could only do it after school and I said I didn't mind. Since last Wednesday, she has been in my company. Banged her the next day I met her. Anne, this young 20 year old has had some experience and didn't mind doing what I asked her. Just that she's a little quiet in bed. Basically after eating dinner around the city, we enjoy the live band that plays at The Tavern or join her for some karaoke (she does most of the singing) at several nearby restaurants like Frank Lloyds or Adriano's. Then get back to my room for some late night action.

I could easily find another girl but her company is enjoyable. She speaks fluent english and carries a conversation rather well. An avid NBA fan as well as the local PBA. With the almost daily rain this weekend, it was great just to cuddle in the strong aircondition after a heated fuck session. I'll be here until Tuesday until my ship for Cebu arrives. WG&A only comes twice a week here. Until then, Anne will keep me company. I guess she is hoping that I will always see her whenever I'm back in the city or be her steady boyfriend but I already crushed the latter notion. So far all this has cost me is P1,000 per day for her company.

Anybody gong to be in Sabang the next couple of weeks? I'm going there for some diving and haven't been there before. Any advice?

Thanks,

Raul

amboy812,

There is hardly any action on Boracay. When last there one or two hanging around the disco but I never got the chance to find out if they were any good. I had company which was hard to shake off no matter what I did. My company was like a wet fish my fault but I did not want to upset her. She gots a very big family and her uncle was a friend of mine at the time but no longer now.

The best bet is to bring a takeaway with you. Ask a couple of girls in the bars in Manila, Makati etc if they would like a holiday. Pick one. Explain the deal to her and get the Mamasan to give you a Price for the Barfine.

One other way is to get the girl not to turn up for work. If she does that she will get fined for non attendance or even lose her job so tread carefully down that route. You don't what the girl to be out of pocket or unemployed as jobs no matter what they are in PI are at a premium,

Good luck with your quest to find some company in or for Boracay.

Not a sex story but a News article on Palawan. Shows you always have to look out for those Filipinos that have been drinking-

4 Arrested For Killing, Eating Wedding Guest In Palawan

Updated 11:43am (Mla time) Aug 11, 2004
Agence France-Presse

PUERTO PRINCESA, Palawan, Philippines --
Filipino police have arrested four people for murdering a wedding guest, roasting and eating parts of the body and serving some of the remains at the reception, they said Wednesday.
Narra town police chief Senior Superintendent Perla Bacuel said they were looking into the possibility that some of the suspects may have been involved in other disappearances in the western island of Palawan since the 1980s.

Farm laborer Eladio Baule, his son Gerard Baule and nephews Sabtuary Pequi and Johnny Buyot allegedly killed the victim, Benjie Ganay, on July 17 after Ganay accidentally touched Eladio Baule's daughter's bottom during her wedding party, Bacuel said.

The four suspects, who were drunk at the time, then set fire to Ganay's body and Bacuel said the aroma of roasting flesh may have tempted the group to eat parts of the burnt body.

The father and son then allegedly served some of the roasted flesh to other drinkers at the wedding party.

The crime was only discovered about eight days later, after the two nephews confessed to the police who originally found their accounts too shocking to believe.

The nephews insist that they did not take part in the murder but were only forced to eat parts of the body.

Bacuel said this was the first time she ever heard of such a bizarre crime in this area, adding they were looking into the possibility that Eladio Baule may have been a member of one of the rural cults that are known for chopping up their enemies.

Hi Brothers,

I am going to La Union in a few weeks times. Anyone can recommend any fun or good foods there. Would appreciated for good informations.

Thank you all.

Malboy

Anyone know if there is any action in Baguio these days?

FS

Any info on Alabang? I already have a sure thing, but I'm looking for some variety!

I plan to visit the area near Puerto Galera, Mindoro, the third week of October. I am a little worried about the weather. Does anyone know if there is usually non-stop rain at that time of year, or does Puerto Galera usually get a few days of sunshine once in a while at that time?

I need info on Catarman, Northern Samar. Plan to relocate there. Is safe?

Bud

Guys:

Currently in Cotabato City, and am here out of professional necessity. For anyone even contemplating going here for enjoyment, my strong advice to you is to forget it. The place is a virtual slum, with few buildings over 3 stories, and most businesses are housed in tin-roofed shacks.

The hotels are consistent with the quality of the town. There are only two and they both suck, from the standpoint of amenities, food and service. I am told that there are one or two bars where you can meet women "by special arrangment," but why bother?

Fortunately, I'm here with my girlfriend, which is what makes the experience somewhat bearable, but coming here is sure not worth the four hour drive, over lousy roads, from Davao.

GE

To mongering one,

My girlfriend and her family live in Caterman, very few tourists, beautiful beaches ,and there is a university. It is a farm economy and I would be very careful that the girl is not a virgin. Law and order is usually handled by the locals. Very safe, much safer than manila, my girlfriend wants me to live there, you can live like a king for 600 and pick up a great girlfriend but not a place for professional girls . Only one hotel and it is okay, my girl is a gem sending her to nursing school and then will get her ajob in US. If you have any questions I will ask her. Northern Samar is almost all rice farms and coconut farms,no roads ,electricity etc, if you want to get back to nature ,it is the place. Houses in Samar not locked but the dogs will eat you for lunch,even my girlfriends neighbors who want to come over yell to her to bring the dogs in the house before they get too close and of course everyone owns a gun. I asked her if she is worried someone will steal ,she said that last year one person from outside the province did, no one ever heard of him again, did not elaborate but I have not visited the farm.

Hello my first posting and I will be heading to San Pedro, Laguna in few weeks. Can anyone recommend any fun or good hotel, foods there. Thnk in advance for any good informations.

Thank you all.

Hey Joe (that's all of you),

Been in PI almost a year. 15 different cities/towns, laid in all of 'em. Not the hardest thing to do in this country. Been in Davao the last 4 months, drowning in pussy, best place so far. (Yes IMO even beats Angeles.)

I'm going to Zamboanga for a week. Not going for sex, want to be immersed in the Chabacano language for a while. But after a couple days without my Davao regulars I presume I'll be waking up with a hard-on. (I hate that!)There's a cheap boat from here to there, so why not?

I've read the last 6 mos. posts here on this forum, and the only info is Dragon Slayer's from '95. Hmmm, a lot can change in 9 years.

Can anybody help?

Gracias, and may none of your sacks hold a load for more than 24hrs.

After deciding to take a girl I met in EDSA Firehouse to Boracay I decided just to take her to Puerto Galera as well. I wasn’t sure of the quality of girls there so didn’t want to take the risk. Negotiated 10,000 pesos for 11 nights and there was no bar fine to pay as she made an excuse to the bar she was going back to the provinces.

The girls doesn’t speak much English and she was keen for her friend to go with her. My friend and already bar fined her the night before and after a quick report I decided what the hey and along she came as well for 7,000 pesos. I am glad I did this as she did all the transport arrangements and basically cooked all my meals, washed and ironed all my clothes, etc. It wasn’t long before she was also saving me money on my trip.

As I was staying in City Garden Makati and we had missed the 8am Si Kat departure time we had arranged a taxi through the City Garden hotel to Batangas, 2900 pesos. Way too much (1500 pesos is maximum) so instead we got a taxi to the local bus station and for 109 pesos for three people we got a bus to Batangas (couldn’t figure out how this was calculated). Can’t remember the cost of the boat direct to Sabang Beach (left at 2.30 p.m.) but it was cheap. Stayed at the Seashore resort for 4 nights for 1000 pesos a night for big room with kitchen.

The nightlife in Sabang beach has been discussed before but I will add my opinion. If you are interested in a place to go purely for the night life then I wouldn’t recommended this place, only three go-go bars with an average of 6-7 girls. A few 8’s and if you do want the 1 or 2 two 9’s going about get there early (8.30 p.m.) as they all seemed to get bar fined very early. However, at least the girls on stage put on a bit of a show, more so than in EDSA where all the girls just seem to shuffle their feet. The beer is cheaper than in Manila (circa 60 pesos a bottle) and there’s free popcorn in two of the disco’s.

I went to each go-go bar each night and had fun with my two companions each night. The young pretty girl got drunk on 1 glass of wine and was always trying to get on the bar and start stripping, generally wearing no bra or panties. This pi**ed off the bar staff no end as she was getting all the intention from the guys. Plus doing tequila body shots on each other also got a few stares. I was thinking of bar fining a couple of girls but didn’t know how this was going to affect the rest of the holiday so I didn’t bother. I was having enough fun having threesomes twice a day and they both got into each other just as much.

I never made it to any other places when in Sabang as I was busy scuba diving every day. And that is why you should come to this place, good dive sites with reasonable night life but to come hear purely for the go-go bars I wouldn’t recommend, only if you are a ‘cheap-charlie’ as some of the girls mentioned. For the record, bar fine is still 500 to 1000 depending on time and girl is standard 1000.

Remember to bring enough cash with you to Sabang as everyone slaps on between 6 and 8% charge for visa and this can get quite expensive after a while. If you desperately need cash, there is a travel agent next to Village disco who can get you cash from visa for 7% surcharge.

My original plan was to get ferry and bus back to Manila, spend the night then fly down to Boracay via Caticlan airport. However, one girl never had any ID so there may have been problems getting her a ticket. Instead we took the cheap option and got jeepney/bus to Roxas and ro-ro ferry across to Caticlan. Prices as best I remember are as follows: Jeepney from Sabany to Puerto Galero 15 pesos each, trike to PG jeepney station 10 peso each. Jeepney to Calapan, 60 peso each (2 hours) and another trike 10 peso each. You need to find the place where there are buses or air con vans to Roxas, we just asked a local. It was 180 pesos each for a 3 hour ride in an air con van. You can also hire a jeepney from Sabang beach to Calapan for 1500 or direct to Roxas for 4000 but that seemed a bit uncomfortable for my liking.

There are ferries I think at 9 and 10 pm from Roxas ferry port to Caticlan but it was recommended we take the 2am ferry as this would get us into Boracay for about 6 (arrived Caticaln 5.30 am). We had arrived about in Roxas 7 pm after leaving PG at 12.40pm. So for 6 hours we sat in a bar called Colt 45 drinking beer at 25 pesos a bottle and red wine at 250 pesos a bottle. There was a kareoke machine and pool tables to keep us amused for that length of time. Ended up playing drinking games based on our scores from the kareoke, good fun but smashed by 1am when we boarded the ferry. Cost of ferry 210 pesos each I think. Total for trip was about 1500 pesos for 3 people compared to 9000 pesos for flight only to Caticlan from Manila. Another 7500 pesos saving and cost of 1 night hotel in Manila.

In Boracay we stayed at the Villa Sunset resort close to boat station 2. Nice room with kitchen and additional attic bedroom for 2000 peso per night, although the prices change dramatically in high season and high-high season starting next month. Boracy was a nice place, great beach of course but the night life was a bit disappointing. I was expecting a place like Koh Samui but it was no where near it. The bars were almost empty and there was only one disco worth going to called Wave. There was a bar close to Cocomangas near boat station 3 which was full of Filipino students and bouncing. I did see a few freelancers in the bars, Summer Place was a popular one, nice bar as well. There was also quite a few lady-boys going about if that floats your boat.

Managed to get air tickets for all 3 of us back to Caticlan with a little hassle by airport security, cost 9000 pesos for 3 one-way tickets. If you are flying outside Philippines directly you need to get a taxi from the Manila domestic airport to the international airport, which is 4km away, cost 45 pesos.

As recommended by Firedick BYO to Boracy and you may be lucky in Sabang. I was looking for a place with great night life, beaches and scuba diving. A found it in this overall package but next trip I plan to go to Cebu direct and take a partner to Bohol and/or Malapascua island.

Robbo

I found that in Puerto Galera the freelancers were much better than in Angeles City & Boracay can't even be considered. Most freelancers in Puerto Galera hang out at the Big Apple Hotel/Bar. The best floor show is at the newest club called the Broadway. They have a special dancer about every hour that does a 3-4 song melody. There are usually about 2-3 special dancers a night.

Diving in Puerto Galera is probably the best in the Philippines, IMHO, with Boracay being pretty nice and Dumaguette good also. But as far as the combination of night life, scuba diving & freelancers, Puerto Galera wins hands down. Sounds like you had a good trip. Wish to return there soon myself.

LK

I was there a couple of weeks ago and will be there again next week. Check out the bar in the Orchid Garden Hotel. The hotel is not much, but there's a band in the bar, which is open until about 2AM and there is some action there from what I could observe. There are also a couple of discos in town, but I did not get a chance to check them out.

This post may be redundant, and if so, I apologize. We just got back from our second trip to Zamboanga in the past month. This time, we stayed at the Hotel Lantaca, which is a lovely, older hotel on the harbor. It'a quite romantic and a really nice setting for those of you who want or need to go there with a lady. There are some nice Chinese Restaurants and an Italian one as well, plus there are a couple of clubs around town.

The women are not nearly as readily available as in the larger cities. After all, this is largely a Muslim place, but it's pretty open and tolerant of alcohol, music and Western dress.

I would not make a special effort to get there. The Philippines has lots of nicer beachs and resorts, but if you do have to go, it's not at all a bad place to be.

GE

Thanks for your post GE. My trip has been postponed. I had read that 25% of the place is Muslim. Did it seem like there were more there?

In following the local newspapers in Davao, it seems that the Zambo mayor is a lot more accepting of Americans and a lot less accepting of Muslims, than is Duterte.

I plan to be in Manila November 1, and to be in Puerto Galera or Boracay for a few days beginning about November 2 or 3. Anyone interested in getting together drop me a line. I most likely will go to Puerto Galera unless I can find someone to travel to Boracay with me.

I will be in Puerto Galera for a few days beginning November 3 or 4. Drop me a line if you want to get together for a drink. Best way to contact me is at my personal e-mail address of [blue][Email Address deleted by Admin][/blue].

Is this the right forum to read for Bagio information? I tried the search function hoping it might work now but... Anyway I don't mind reading back through the posts if I know which forum to look in.

Guys, anyone have any up to date info about the Bauang, San Fernando area. Planning to be there in January and would appreciate any help.

Flying Scotsman

I was in Sabang in early November. There are not that many freelancers in Sabang and the few there are not very attractive. By freelancers I mean girls that do not work for the 4 go go bars in town. Some of the girls who do work at the go go bars will hang around bars and restaurants before or after work, looking for extra money, and many of them are attractive. I heard that Eddie's Place is the main hangout after the Go Go discos close at 2:00 am. But the girls who do not work for the Go Go bars, ie the true freelancers, are mostly very average, can't compete with the other girls, and are desperate for business. Also, I was told by one freelancer recently that the cops are cracking down on freelancers under pressure from the Go Go Bars. She also said that the Big Apple Bar is no longer the main hangout. I myself never noticed more than a few girls at the Big Apple Bar.

Any one with good info on Palawan and Puerto Princessa?

Thanks

I spend one week in Sabang Beach, near Puerto Galera on Mindoro in November 04. Very good place for diving and 4 go-go bars. I did not spend any night alone. Can be recommended!

Hello gents,
I was in Palawan (Puerto Princesa, Sabang, El Nido, Coron, and Taytay) last month for about 3 weeks. There are many girls in the internet cafes eyeing me while in Puerto Princesa, but besides that, not much anywhere else. I took a gal from Angeles with me because the mongering isn't that good there. You will have to work at getting a piece there.

But if you are willing to bring your own piece there, the snorkeling and scuba is the best that I have ever seen in my entire life, especially in El Nido and Busuanga (Coron). The fishing isn't bad either.

Spent more than 3 weeks of my first homecoming visit after 33 years of absence, and realized 29 days is not enough! Friends and relatives have treated me for the time of my life. Let the pistures tell the story...

Cheapskate, I hope she was a friend and not a relative (a close one, at least).

jack

After my friends left I have an extra free night so I decided to check out Air Force One, for the first time, in Paranaque. I checked in, picked up a lovely girl and went to the VIP room, which I was told cost P3000 in consumables. After a few drinks and "negotiating" with the lady, we were ready to do the "gimmick", as she termed it. She locked the door but soon afterwards the mamasan knocked and we were told that we can't do it in the room, that it would cost another P3000 for another room. Furious about this, I paid my P3500 bill and walked off and promised not to come back. Any similar experiences? I guess the lesson here is as with any contract, clarify what you are getting into.

[QUOTE=Jack Spratt]Cheapskate, I hope she was a friend and not a relative (a close one, at least).

jack[/QUOTE]

Good point, Jack! Would have sounded better if I said; "A close friend gave me a treat to this young lady" or something like that!

Here's part of my idea of paradise... but I had to leave in order to earn more vacation time and money for such vacation. Reality sucks!

In that you obviously know your way around. When I was in Pagsanjan (1968), I never left the "resort" at the falls, so was not able to meet any of your friends or their relatives, or anyone even closely resembling them. There was a "dance" presentation, ie Tinikling and whatever the one is they do while holding a candle in each hand, but we (sailors) were not even allowed within arm's length of those girls. A wise decision on the part of their chaperone, I'm sure. LOL

Anyway, thanks for the lovely pics.

Keep it up!

Does anybody know anything about Ormoc City (Leyte)?

Paul D,

I am a U.S. Navy short timer myself, having served from '72 through '75. I guess the idea of having entertained the troops in Pagsanjan (I was part of a local rock band) and mostly US Navy servicemen, must have been the reason for choosing that branch of service.

BTW, there's my old dixie cup in the picture.

'Nuf said.

i just came back, wiith my girlfriend, from a diving/beach week-end in batangas, which is about 45 minutes south of tagaytay city. this was my first time in either of these places, but it sure as hell with not be my last. my impressions of the two places are given below:

1. tagaytay city is about 90 minutes (in fairly heavy traffic) south of makati, and it's a nice place with several resorts, enough clubs to be interesting, and some great scenery. there are resorts on both the lip of the taal volcano, overlooking the lake, and on the beach side outside of town, and there are several diving locales. i did not dive there, but i'm told the sites are excellent. this is a great place to go an unwind for a week end, though you will need a car and driver to get there easily. girls are readily available, from what i saw, but it may be better to bring your own from manila as the choice will doubtless be greater.

2. batangas is better still. literally virgin beaches, innumerable small islands, and great coral reef diving, and a depth of 5 to 30 meters. there are two nice diving/[url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord118][CodeWord118][/url] resorts with jet skis, diving equipment, kayaks, and the usual stuff, and the places are beautifully maintained. this is a rich area, with alot of filipino movies stars, senators and other glitterati, but it's surprisingly inexpensive.

there's no night life to speak of at all, so you will have to bring your own lady. but the surroundings, the service, and the other forms of recreation available make this well worthwhile.

:d

ge

GE,

Where did you stay in Batangas? Not planning to do any diving, just rest and chill for 2-3 nights with my girl... Looking for a place with beach, pool and may be a little nite life in the evening.

Thanks for your help.
IB

ib:

i stayed in the town of anilao, on the southwestern tip of batangas. i was there with a couple that owns a really nice beach house, so i didn't have the need of a hotel. this house however, was sandwiched between two resorts that looked very attractive. one of these is called planet dive, and the other is called ballai. i only saw these places from the water, but they were both well-equipped with dive boats and gear, jet skis, and speed boats. i didn't see anyone water skiing, but i would imagine it's available.

the water around there is fabulous and even if you don't dive, there's amazing coral that can be appreciated with a snorkel, fins and a mask. i'm not sure about the nightlife in the area. the roads pretty much suck, and most of the coastal residents seem to get around by boat, but it's unbeatable for cooling out.

ge

Myself and 4 other mates are going to hanging out here for a couple weeks. Any action here? or shall we bring our own from AC?

Please help us out.

Gentlemen,

Need Info on Casgayan de Oro, a place called cugman, zone five, sounds like a real crap hole, this concerns a ripp off ***** who has been scammin on the I net.

Thanx

Poro Point, between Bauang and San Fernando is basically all freelancers at night, sitting outside the bars. Never partook, just took a trike through there, trying to get to the old AF Base, I gave up. I'd be careful, wasn't comfortable just passing through.

There's also Stiletto's, a bar associated with a resort, never been there either, but you can do a search on Excite.

A few KM south is Bali Hai, nice resort, great food, but a family type place. I love hanging out there for 3 or 4 days.

Couple of massage parlors, one on National Road, about 5 KM north of Bali Hai, kind of grotty, got a good massage there. Theres supposed to be another on the road to Poro Pt, but didn't try it. Next time maybe, hope it's cleaner than the one I tried.

I think the action there is way less than Manila, Cebu or other places in RP.

i am living and working here on a 6 month contract. everyone told me that i would come home with a slutty filipino wife, and frankly, i was looking forward to it. i heard stories from friends about manila and cebu, and it sounded like getting free pussy was available, and pros were very easy to find. then i come here and discover that it’s not the same deal throughout the country. there are 7000 islands in this nation, not all of them are party towns.

iloilo city is a good sized place, but not on the international map, and there are very few white people here. i see a few old men who smell like retired navy guys. this is probably the hometown of the ***** they married in manila, and now that they are retired, they live like dukes here in the provinces. i have seen only one other white guy, a german, who appeared under 40 years old (i am 33 and single). this town doesn’t get tourists, and white people are very alien here.

this means that girls do not approach whites, and probably never kiss one without a wedding date. i work with a lot of filipino girls, and they explain that it’s not about attraction. they may think i am cute, but no girl wants to be literally the very first girl in town to have a white boyfriend. that and my contract ends in june, so without a plane ticket for her, they aren’t going to date me. as my co-workers say, it’s not about me, it’s about them finding a boyfriend after i leave, once she has the reputation of dating whites.

i knew shortly after arriving that i would be looking for pro’s. the short version of what i have found is this:

short time: beach club inn. it’s a short time hotel (less than 150pp for 2 hours) with a low end bar/club thing. there are a few girls singing karaoke, and you can take your pick. naked bbbj, cum on tits, with some feeling up, etc. available for 1000pp, about an hour. i picked pearl, which is the name tattooed on her tit. great body, lame tattoo. i had a good experience, but do not go alone. i highly recommend you have a local friend/guide to go with you. this is a less than savory neighborhood, and a local guy will keep the prices reasonable. i felt totally safe with my guide, but wouldn’t go alone.

actual cathouse: this is a normal house in a residential area, nothing to clue you in that it’s a brothel. we went in and the madame rung down the sleepy girls (2am), and there were about 10 to choose from. not like thailand, they come down in normal street clothes. i got the madame’s number (her card is for avon products), but we didn’t pick any of the girls my one time there. maybe the selection is better earlier, but the best was maybe a 7, and they looked tired. if you want her number, i can send it to you. i think the girls are outcall only, and the madame is a total professional.

strip clubs: this is my primary hunting ground. camp jefferson is well known, but they mama wanted a 4000pp barfine to take the girl home. ha! if you can wait, find a girl there who will see you when she’s off duty, get her number, and set up a visit. a scummier but friendlier club is called, wheels fargo. yeah, i know – great name. again in a skuzzy neighborhood, but not as bad as the beach club. it’s well lit, at least. this club has an on-premises massage clinic, i love that. never taken the massage, as i get a girl at my table, buy her some over priced drinks, and make an arrangement to have her come to my hotel the next day. all the strippers are from other places, so they will be seen with you in public, should you want that. these girls are pretty happy with what i offer (1000pp for basic short time, and an extra 500 if i get to take some pictures), but since i don’t know what anyone else pays, i don’t know if i am over, under, or what. for me, it’s good ass for less than $20us, and i am happy to tip big for pictures.

i work at night, so my mornings are when i like to get some action. i get off work at 10 am, have the girl come over at 11, and send her home around 1 or 2 so i can get some sleep. this is a great arrangement for strippers, since they work nights, too.

hints: first, make sure she likes whites, or foreigners, or whatever you are. there was a smoking hot piece of grade a ass at the wf club, and her panties didn’t come off for me, but she put out to my ***** pal, a local man. racist stripper. so make sure she’s into you. if not, ask her for a recommendation. most girls i found can at least passably communicate in english, but talk slow.

next, be clear up front if you want your dick sucked. most girls do it, but not all. make it clear what you want, and know that you will get it, and what it costs.

local pussy is hairy, so be cool with that.

finally, i haven’t found a provider willing to do anal for any price, but the pussy here is so ridiculously tight that even an ass-hungry monster like me is satisfied with the grip levels found so far.

last point: strippers have to be 18 to dance in this country, but i learned from my stripper that some girls are ****. they are trained to say 18, and stick to the story, but if you are in doubt, ask another stripper. they can be catty, and most girls will tell you the competition's secrets (she’s ****, or, that girl has a kid, etc.) my girl pointed out one on stage who was 15, and while most asian girls look young, you know when they look just a little too young.

i don’t know exactly what the local law’s position on the white american fucking a 16 year old stripper, and i don’t want to know. i figure a best case scenario is a heavy bribe, and the worst case is way beyond anything i want to imagine. 19 year old pussy is a+ grade and so tight you won’t be sure if you can get it out again.

if anyone is coming to town between now and june, drop me a line. good luck. this is a nice place, food is cheap and good, and the nearby island has some cool sea caves to explore.

t.

ps - one of my regular stripper friends is posted in the photo section.

Anyone ever been to the beaches at Camiguin, and if so, how da hell ya get there and where do you stay?

I saw a photo and the thought of a weekend there with a hot babe could be fun.

Anyone? Anyone?

Ricksan

I've been to Camiguin several times, It is fantastic, go climb the volcano, check out diappaering white island etc, the hot springs and the inland lagoon where you can scoop fish and crabs to have them served custom cooked.

You will find people there are the nicest and friendliest in all the Phils IMHO.

Places to stay are mostly run by "foreigners" who live there with Filip wives, there is a resort run by a german guy I stayed at, can't remember the name, just keep going around the island till you find one that is open. I suggest you bring your own booty BYOB as while there are many lovely little creatures on the island they seem shy, no night life or anything either for the pros

I spent three days this week in this area, and it was a first time experience for me. Cagayan de Oro is about 4.5 hours by car from Davao, and about another hour by bus, while "The Islamaic City of Marawi" is about two hours further, from Cagayan de Oro. Marawi is the only city in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, and for that reason alone is fairly interesting.

Cagayan is a city of almost 1 million, not particularly atrtractive to look at, but it's got a pleasant climate, decent hotels, a reasonable choice of restaurants, and about 7 GRO-type strip/strumpet bars. I did not sample, but there's plenty of action there if you want it.

Marawi is a truly Muslim city, and most of the women wear hadscarves. I even saw a couple who were covered head to toe in black, which I've not seen before here in the Philippines. The city's climate is terrific, as the place is nestled in the mountains, the air is dry and a little cool. There is however, zero in the way of nightlife as far as I could see. I stayed in Cagayan so I cannot swear about the absence of night life in Marawi.

As I think I one said about Zamboanga, Cagayan is not any place that you would make a special effort to visit. However, if you have to go there, it's okay for a couple of days.

:D

Hello again Goodenough,

We have spoken before on the other forum. Could you elaborate more on the climates in Cagayan and Marawi? I take it Marawi was cooler? What were the daytime and night time temperatures? Any info on yearly rainfall? Could you describe the restaurants too?

I am planning on visiting Davao and Cebu in August and hope to buy you a beer.

Hi Fred:

I look forward to your trip. We can argue about who buys the beers once you get here. The temperature in Marawi was, I would estimate, about C 20-22 during the day. I was not there in the evening. In CDO it was about C25 during the day and about C21-22 in the evening. Quite pleasant. In CDO, I went to the Dynasty Restaurant which is a large Chinese place. I'm told it has the best Chinese food available in the town, and it was distinctly mediocre at best, but the staff was pleasant. There's also a range of Tex/Mex places though I forget the names,and there are at least two steakhouses. Remember, I was working and really did not get to tour the place. I have no idea what the annual rainfall is in either place. All I can tell you is that it did not rain in either place while I was there.

Getting to CDO from Davao is quite simple, and there are comfortable, air conditioned buses that depart on a regular schedule. I'm told the trip by bus takes 5.5-6 hours. I assume there's regular transportation available between CDO and Iligan and between Iligan and Marawi.

:D

GE

Thanks Goodenough.

Cool weather, Tex-Mex food, and in the Philippines. Sounds like a place I would want to be. I will have to find time to check it out.

Fred,

I've been to CDO a few times, I've gone from Davao to CDO on Bus and as GE says it is about six hours, it is a bit of an adventure too, lots of local color. Interesting stops with Lumads (natives) selling crafts, food and a few dressed in native costume in the Bukidnon region. CDO has an overnight Ferry to Cebu, interesting trip. However a word of caution, you should avoid Marawi, it is the home to a very hostile group of the MILF chapter and the venue of a particularly militant Imam who thinks all westerners are American CIA.

As far as CDO, it is a small town and people are very friendly, no problem at all, a few European style resturaunts and a swiss coffee shop that has a number of upscale Filipino Yuppies with a few ladies who might even give you the hot eye. They have a Gaisano mall too, small but servicaible. There are a few small seaside resorts on the North west portion of the city.

Temprature wise its as hot as the rest of the Phils, however, as it is close to the gulf you get some breeze off the water.

They even have a website [url]www.Cagayan-de-oro-city.com[/url]

Goodluck

The Spamhog

What the Spam Hog says about Marawi is true, now that I think about it, and I'm sorry to have given another impression. I was in the company of a Company of Philippine Marines, and so I did not think worry much about security. But it's true that we went through at least three and maybe four military checkpoints between Iligan and Marawi. There is nothing of sufficient interest there to warrant the risks.

GE

SEAir (South East Asian Airlines) has flights between CDO and Davao a couple of days a week. Their most recent timetable on the website says Monday and Wednesday. I've flown these myself a couple of times. They are propeller planes so if you're worried about that it might be better to take the bus. But it does save quite a few hours if you can fly it.

Cagayan is a university town, so at some times of year you'll find girls 'in need.' They'll be looking for ways to get their tuition fees and you, the monger, may be just what they're looking for.

Your best bet will be girls who are from out of town and away from their families. They're a bit easier to separate from their conservatism.

Like most towns of this size in the Philippines I never cared much for the pro scene. Either try to find regular girls or better yet do some chatting on the internet to set something up in advance.

I have a friend who is moving down to Ozamis. I am concerned bout how safe westerners are there. The State department says to avoid Mindanao, but it seems like there is little risk in Northern places like CDO and Butuan or a place like Davao which has a lot of westerners. But Ozamis looks a bit to risky as I view it non the map. My friend says it is safe, but she has never been there either and her new job will not let her out of town for more than a few days to meet me somewhere else.

Any one been there before? Is it safe? Is there fun stuff to see and do durning the day?

TIA

S

I have been up to Illigan City, that is west of CDO up the Peninsula, no problems up there, not much to do, visit the falls and a few "beach resorts" that are nothing more than a collection of huts on the water, CDO City is a little more lively, Butwan is further east, I suggest you take in Camiguin Island if in the CDO region, best place in the PI far as I am concerned, plenty to do, hike a volcano, hot springs, diving fishing, a few resorts run by foreigners with Phils wives, freindliest people in the world.

Avoid going into areas in Misamis like Marawi, Lanao, thjose are Muslim areas and you will be scrutinized by MILF militiamen, in some places if a white guy doesn't have a pass or isn't escorted by regular Phil army, guess what?

you get to talk to the commander & convince him you are not CIA.

I have an opportunity to visit Naga... Anybody with info about local action? Will particularly appreciate any local contact info for a university student that I may be able to help in material way <smile>. Post reply or pm please. I will be willing to give Manila contact in exchange.

there isn't much local action here. you will need to bring a girl with you. if you goto a local karoake bar, bring a filipino with you or they will try to [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord123][CodeWord123][/url] you with high price drinks and ladies drinks

Anyone ever been to Maluso on Basilan? Safe? Unsafe? I've been to Zamboanga and while I didn't feel threatened, I did feel 'watched'...

We do alot of projects in Basilan, and we often have people there, but I would not advise going there over night. There is still substantial rebel activity on the island, and since the various factions move around alot, they could be anywhere in Basilan at any time.

I will shortly be coming to Manila and staying in the Alabang area. Is there any place nearby, where I can get some action and or sensual massage. Will apreaciate any information.

This is the kind of place you would be better off to bring a girl. The most obvious working women are a bit long of teeth.

Boracay is beautiful, but a bit commercialized. You can't take a bicture of the beach without getting one or two boats in the picture.

Lots of eye candy and many opportunities if you have the time and patience to do things the ...normal way.

Here is a picture I took of regular women out for a swim. I must have been focused on the bikinis. After looking at the picture they don't look nearly as good as I remember. In fact, looking at their mouths....you would guess they are all related in some way or another.

Hello,

While in Boracay I stayed at:

Dave's straw hat. Nice place but the curtains were so thin I don't think you can do the deed with the lights on. Newly built with Internet access. Has air con, but I used the fan.

I also stayed at Melinda's. Wow, this is a real Filipino experience. Bamboo shacks and even a bamboo bed. You should stay here one night just for the experience. I wish I had some pictures of the interior. No air con, but the ceiling fan is all you need. This is where the fish picture was taken.

I think I paid around 2000 pesos for each place. From boat station 3 (the first stop) you would go to the right on the beach. I've attached a picture of the signs.

The ladies in the picture were strolling down the beach. I don't know them and certainly didn't get their bikinis off. Unfortunately.

I rented a moutain bike around boat station 3 and got around that way.

Hi everyone,

Has anyone been there, lately? I would appreciate some hints for my trip. I plan to visit there for 4 to 6 weeks coming November:

- What's the best place to stay, maybe with weekly rates.

- I am also looking for the telephone number of AAA-Apartments. If someone knows it, I would deeply appreciate a notice, maybe PM.

- To find a lady friend for my stay: Is it best to use one of the bar or make an arrangement with a freelancer? If bar girl, do mamasans make special BFs if you take them for more than one day?

- If I would take an appartment with no safety box on premises: Is there - maybe - a central place in Sabang which I could use for depositing my valuables?

- Maybe, is anyone reading this there in November/December, too.

- Any hints on other acitivities on Puerto Galera/Sabang are also welcome.

- I know, I'm kind of a newbe, but would appreciate any info and help.

Wish you all a good day!

I just got back from my second trip to Cagayan de Oro, which is about 320 kms. from Davao. It takes about 5 hours to get there by car. Longer by bus. If you chose to fly, there are no direct flights, but you can connect through Cebu. I think that the last time I wrote about this place, I suggested that while it was okay, there was nothing special about it. I think I may have been wrong.

First of all, it's a city of about 1 million people, and it's got all of the attributes of a reasonably large city. There are loads of clubs, restaurants, stores, malls, and movie theaters. In short, there's plenty to keep you busy. There also appear to be some fairly nice resorts on the edges of town, though I did not visit any of them.

The clubs are fairly routine, but the girls do strip completely, and there are some seriously good looking women. Bar fines are high, and range from PhP3,000-3,500 which includes full service for as long as you like. All of the girls however, I'm told, will make an arrangement to meet you later, so it's apparently pretty easy to avoid the bar fines. Three of the clubs: Bada Bing, On Tic, and Home Court are on the same block, and it's easy to walk from one to the other. There's little or no pressure in the bar to buy drinks or to buy ladies drinks which are PhP250. In short, the atmosphere is pretty relaxed, fairly friendly, and it's easy to have a good time. There are very, very few expats, so you will attract some attention if you go, but no hostility.

Best of all perhaps, CDO is a very safe city. There has been no violence there in years, and you can walk the streets in without fear. Taxis (metered) are abundant, and I did notice a smattering of street walkers. I'm told that the best club is Pyramid, which I did not see. It's somewhat outside of the city. There's another called Cora's which I noticed in passing, and numerous other KTVs around the town.

The best hotel is the Dynasty. Unfortunately, I did not stay there, but in the VIP, which is the oldest hotel in town. It's clean, but it looks its age. You can negotiate a rate of about PhP1,,500 in either place.

For those of you looking for the mildly exotic, away from any press of tourism at all, this could be a good place to check out.

:D

I've been here 3 days now and I've spent almost the whole time with my girl here that I've known for a year. I have tried to keep my mongering eyes open even though I'm not free to hunt myself.

We went to the Xcite live band bar across the street from Dynasty Court Hotel. Even though we were pretty early there were still a couple of tables of office girl types. They looked approachable enough and I would like to have tried. This place usually has pretty good bands so it's good to hang out even if you don't connect with anyone.

Cagayan is a college town so the malls and the streets are a parade of eye candy. I consider this place like a smaller version of Davao. There are lots of possibilities to chat up a girl from here on the internet and then have her ready and waiting for you when you arrive. For example, the girl I'm with now met me last year after just one exchange of e-mails. You may also find someone after you arrive but that will usually take time and a good approach.

The bar girl scene exists in a way but it's really just a last resort. The prices are higher and the quality is lower than in Angeles, Manila, etc. Also, it's mainly a scene for local guys.

I'm staying in the Pryce Plaza Hotel. Depending on the season and how busy they are you can pay anywhere from 2000 to 4000 for a room with a great view of the town and beyond. I find a good view helps a girl to get horny. Unfortunately this place, like so many others in this country, suffers from neglect and is falling apart one shower head at a time. Dynasty Court is good and centrally located though it doesn't have a pool or a gym. I stayed at Country Village Hotel the first night because the Pryce was full. But it's also falling apart and the shower didn't really work. It's also not a good location.

Sad to say the Davao-Cagayan flight I used the last 2 years seems to be out of service for now. Asian Spirit still has flights to Cebu for 2200. There are lots of flights to Manila for about 3500 or so, less if you catch a good promo.

I'll try to find out more places for good hunting before I go.

Here are some places where hunting may be done. Sorry I didn't get to try anything out for myself because I was mostly well cared for by my local chat girl. But these are places that looked promising or where I got lots of eye contact from the eye candy.

I spent a couple of weeknights around a cluster of shops called 'The Site.'
The name would seem to be a ripoff of The Venue in Davao, but really there is no comparison. Most of the places here are coffee shops and restaurants. There's just one live band place upstairs. On the weeknights it was an acoustic band doing mellow stuff like Norah Jones tunes. I didn't see any girls to hit on either of these nights. But it might get going over the weekend. Also, I hear they have parking lot parties here sometimes.

Xcite bar, which I mentioned in the last post, was closed on Sunday and Monday.

Divisoria Street: This is the boulevard like strip in the middle of town that has a lot of fast food joints. On weekend nights the traffic is blocked off and it becomes a huge block party with lots of food stands and what not.

Home Court Bar: This is one of the strip bars mentioned by GE a while back. I went in here one night after I sent my girl home, and had a talk with the mama san. It's really not a very appealing scene, with about 30 guys ogling only one dancer at a time. A FEW of the dancers are seriously good looking, others are fairly repulsive. The mama san said that 185 pesos gets you 30 minutes to talk to one of the dancers (like a Japanese hostess bar, but cheaper). You can also get a private room for 1500 pesos, which includes lots of drinks. There you can negotiate with the girl for whatever action you want. When they aren't dancing, the girls are waiting in a fish bowl in the back where you can check them out and choose. Finally, you can bar fine for 3000, take the girl home and negotiate for her cut. This is the only bar of this kind that I visited, but I have a feeling the others will be something similar. So you can see it's not worth a special visit to Cagayan for any bargirl scene.

I also saw a few street walkers around, some of them not entirely awful looking.

Good Italian restaurant: Go straight out the door from Dynasty Court, cross the street, keep going straight for about 100 feet. It's run by an expat Italian.

Stuff to do when you're not......There's white water rafting for 1200 per person. Besides that there is the usualy mall and movie stuff. The beaches are just outside of town with some of that dark sand.

So to sum up Cagayan, it's a great place for a GFE with a girl that you've been chatting with for some time, or with a girl that you meet here and court for a day or two. If you are really stuck and needy then the bargirl stuff exists for a higher price and lower quality than more well-known locales.

Taxis from the airport to town are about 120 or so. From Pryce Plaza to town about 50.

I haven't experienced or heard of a hotel that's not guest friendly. The Pryce Plaza is, well, prycey and not so central. But I like being away from all the damn traffic noise and diesel fumes. And I like having a gym and a pool.

I just returned from a couple of days in the wilds of Zamboanga, and saw Mahku's post regarding CDO. I wish he had had the chance to check out the club called Badda Bing, and the one directly across the street, and had written his impression of those as well. I think the perceptions might have been slightly different, though maybe not.

As I've said before, there's no reason for anyone to go to Zamboanga as an end destination. However, if you're stuck there, it's not altogether a bad place. There are lots of small KTVs, none of which is worth the effort, but there are two clubs: Kiss Me and Love Disco, which are not too bad. These are not up market venues, and nowhere near the standards you would find in Manila, but they are friendly, they do feature strip teases and there are lots of women if you're looking for a quick good time. You will probably be the only expat in any of these places as Zamboanga does not attract many foreigners.

There are only three hotels in which it's reasonably safe for foreigners to stay: the Sky Park, which is small and in the center of town, and where I usually stay. The Lantaca, which is an old colonial-style place out by the sea, and the Royal Orchid, which is near the airport. There's nothing at all happening in these hotels, but the staffs are pleasant, the rooms are clean, if not luxurious, and the security is good.

There are few if any taxis cruising the streets in Zamboanga, but you can get one sent to your hotel, and can keep the taxi for about PhP150 an hour. This is definitely the way to go. Otherwise you will be stuck at some horrible hour, riding a tricycle back to your hotel, which is both slow, uncomfortable, and makes you potentially vulnerable.

:D

I should be in Zamboanga Sunday. What are the chances of getting my head chopped off? Also, we have been invited to sail Sulu. Now, the locals tell me this is suicide, ok for the, but for a white hunk like me, chop chop time. True?

DOmino,

WTF are you doing in head chopping country? Get back on the boat! "Never live the fucking boat, never.."!

Unless you have security and lots of it,This is suicide ,I visited Tawi Tawi before as the guest of the Governor,He assigned 12 bodyguards all packing M-16 so,I was fine,but alone.......

I go to both Sulu and Tawi-Tawi because I have to go there, and I'm never without armed guards. Going there without security is risky. You would probably be okay, but you would stand out immediately, and word would get around that there's a white guy in town. It's a silly risk to take since, aside from the natural scenery, which is quite beautiful, there's nothing much to see or do. Jolo is not much of a town amd it's about the best you can find in Sulu, and the hotels suck.

I would advise, unless you want to go just to say you've been there, to stay away.

If you ever run into Governor Matba of Tawi Tawi,tell him that the Hotel owner from Cebu does not think,Tawi Tawi will ever be viable for a dive resort,not as long as you need gunboats to go out with every diveboat.I agree beautiful scenery But.....Cheers CL

I am on a mission from God. And I got off the fucking boat a long time ago. Split from the whiole fucking program. Zamboanga and environs is ok but the islands seem to dicy and not for the reasons you think.

Domino,

Yep, you split from the program and I'm glad you did. Just don't get off the fucking boat in the wrong places...

Tawi sounds like a great place to develop "trigger happy tours" concept for that guy who loves to play paint ball except this time with real bullets. Can't beat that. Real Bullets Vacations. A simple liability waiver form will do. Please sign here and go have some fun...:D

I need to go there in a couple of weeks, and I'm not looking forward to it at all. Domino, you can have my spot on the plane if you want it.I'll just stay in Zamboanga and hang out at Kiss Me.Things are a might tense in Mindanao at the moment due to the elections today in parts of Muslim Mindanao. So far, there have been no problems, but there is an undercurrent of tension that's palpable.

Davao of course, remains calm, and there's no tension here at all.

GE

GE: I would be delighted to take your seat on the plane and I would even buy you a skank or a beer in return. Sailing is dangerous as those fuckers can outpace us and outgun us of course. But flying in seems a laugh. Count me in. And just give me some hardware. The rest doesn't matter.Anyway Muslims like me:) And so do theit women. Maybe I can convert them after I bonk them. Maybe not.
Right now, we are doing sporadic raids on Mindanao ports, well away from our Muslim autonomous friends. Most places have quasi rlds, Davao being the exception where they are everywhere. Our MO is to hang out with the homeless, discuss MacArther, the gallant Japanese forces and bonk them. Prices are rock bottom and before anyone says boo, I am giving away more money than I am spending on bonking. It pisses me off, hurts my sensibilities to tal;k to a 40 year old, 6 months pregant with her 7th, by here 2nd husband, aged 27, homeless and broke,

I am considering either El Nido Lagen or Club Noah Isabelle. What do people recommend?

Also, my GF will be with me, but, just in case, does anyone know if the massage either place is full service?

I have not stayed at Club Noah, but I can recommend El Nido Lagen as a nice resort, with good food, nice rooms and a lot of possibilities for diving, kanooing, snorkling etc.
There are normally 2 or 3 massage ladies working there, covering both Lagen and the sister-resort Miniloc (much older resort). The ladies work on a schedule, some weeks at the resort, some weeks in Manila. They are working for the same company that have the massage ladies at Shangri-La in Manila.
About sextra-service; some girls offer handjob for Php 1000, but not all. Last time there, I had a fresh (inexperienced) lady, but good massage, and she turned down my suggestion to make some extra pesos. :( I stayed only 3 nights, so I survived until I returned to Manila :)

They were only little love bombs so it is just bad luck if you get caught inthe friendly or unfriendly fire. This place is a fucking joke. Security giards with their cheap guns.shotguns are everywhere and are paid minimum wage for risking their sorry asses when what is needed is highly paid and trained tactical armed seek and destroy response units. Even peaceful towns are the same. The money paid paying all those guys n gals buttons would pay for a well equipped bunch of Teflon ass kickers. Qui bono?

Domino
Now doubling up on the skanks for double the fun. I have two young beauties, both 22, one with two kids, the other with none. They sleep about 3-4 hours a week and sex wise want nothing btter than to sleep. This is one seriously fucked up country and I would love to know who is keeping it fucked up. My gf gave me a present of condoms she bought last night before leaving: to show she is not fucking around. (ha ha). Here are some phrases:

mahal kita
gihigogma ka ikaw

Domino (he belnds in sedamlessly).
Hey: has that Muarice guy any sisters or should I ask that on the Davao board.

Oh big deal. These were two little bombs and they did not kill anyone. Anyhow, if mongering in exotic places was a safe hobby then everyone could do it. I'm going back to Zamboanga next week, and I'm going to stay at the Sky Park, which is about 150 meters from where one of the bombs went off. If anyone would like to join me, please feel welcome.

I just got back from my first trip to General Santos City, which is about a 3 hour drive south from Davao. It's not a bad place. Nice restaurants, adequate hotels, clean, and enough interesting places at night that you will not get bored. Also, the diving is supposed to be excellent, but I did not get a chance to check that out. Maybe next week.

Sounds to me like Mr. Domino is having an excellent time, and has developed exactly the right perspective. Yes. This is one seriously fucked-up and fucked-over place and yes, it defies understanding. However, if you accept that as the initial premise and then just relax and enjoy what it has to offer, it can be serious fun as well.

In vino veritas.

GE

I do not mean to say that you should bail because of 2 bombs,But for the novice,These are not the places to monger.True Nobody died,but of the 35 wounded people,some of them will be in hospital for months.I am no coward,but have always felt that novice mongers can err on the side of caution until they get the lay of the land.Remember the American Pastor who got killed by the Davao Airport bombing about 2-3years back.He was a good friend of one of my closest friends.Another friend of mine Buddy Recio was one of those kidnapped with the Burnhams and Sembrano at Dos Palmos by the Abu s.He was about 25 meters away when Sembrano the US hostage was beheaded.I respect your experience But I hope you dont mind me putting warnings for the novices.Recently I exchanged PM s warning off a guy from wandering around the CCP complex late night in Pasay City picking up women.About a month ago two caucasians were found dead after being robbed in the reclamation area.Sort of warning about a danger,but feel free to follow your instincts.I hope you understand what I was trying to do Cheers

CL:

Of course you are correct. I was merely speaking with tongue in cheek and I guess I instead put my foot in my mouth. I'm sorry if I gave the impression of taking this lightly. There's an element of risk in the Philippines. There's an enhanced element of risk in Mindanao. These facts are beyond dispute. For these reasons, it's always best to know the area, or to travel with someone who does. The second choice is to be as prudent as possible in your selection of cities and venues.

This is not the place for the naive or even for the gullible.

Ciao,

I just got back from another two night trip to Cagayan de Oro (CDO), and each time I go, I like the place better. It's large enough to have everything, including bars and clubs and decent restaurants, but not nearly as crowded as Davao. The streets are clean and attractive, and the town is very safe.

I stayed at the Dynasty, with a deluxe room for P1,600. It was hardly spectacular, but it was clean and comfortable, and it had air conditioning and cable TV. The bar of choice remains Bada Bing, which has 20 or 25 really pretty ladies who start dancing semi-nude and get down to skin and shoes quickly. The barfine is steep at P3,500, which inlcudes the girl's time and the mama sans are a bit of a pain in the ass. The girls are happy to meet you after the 2 AM closing if you want to avoid the fine. I'm told that the Pyramid Bar has more girls than Bada Bing, but I never went there. There are also lots of smaller KTV/Disco bars all over town and women on the street.

It takes about 4 hours to get to CDO from Davao, by car and about 5 hours by air conditioned bus. There are no flights from Davao, but there are from Cebu and Manila.

There is a village, small town north of Quezon city I was invitied to by a local some 15 yers ago. The bars there was excellent, better than -at that time- Ermita. Young and very beautiful ladies.

Anyone has an update about todays situation there?

Hi people,

My first post here. I am visiting Butuan this october and would like information on the scene there. Hotel is book and flight. Just information on the clubs and freelancers. Much appriciated and will post reports on this city when I get back for the future traverler. I know there is lots of universitys and many girls from CDO and others go there to study, Can any one tell me when the term for the semister starts is it late September ot October, I think the last term is from end of June to September!

Thanks

Porty,

My contact in Butuan, who I unfortunately didn't have time to meet on the last trip, tells me that final exams for the current semester are in mid-October. This is followed by a short break. Then in late October/early November there's a registration period for the next semester. Students have to be around for a lot of this time. Classes then start around November 8th or so. So if you get there in October you will have timed things well to harvest some needy co-eds. Even after classes start there are various fees to be paid well into November.

Sorry to say that this girl saw to it that I had no need to go out mongering and find out about clubs there. But any town the size of Butuan will have the usual KTV/Stripping Hostess joints. Quality and value will vary of course.

Thanks for the information! i have found a lpcal disco its called Big Joe's ! got thid from a friend of a friend, cos i asked where they go to dance! so it should be worth a visit to pick up the college girls who are celibrating there exams and trying to forget that they have problems with money.

New Tip: Just for the tip my ex girlfriend in Cebu Lapu Lapu called to day! i have got her to get an appartment for my stay and she thinks she will move in after i leave Ha Ha, But the good news is its only costing me 6000 pesos a month! A lot cheaper than hotels. So guys here's a new tip get some one you can trust to get an appartment the cost is nothing compared to a hotle and you have everything except air con ! A new way of having you own Fuck shack! Who cares what happens to the appartment when you leave its in her name!

Who cares what happens to the appartment when you leave its in her name![/QUOTE]Isnt that kinda cold leaving her to pay all the utility bills and rent,Shouldnt you at least cover the rent and the ulitilities YOU used during your stay,then bail

Of course you do that! you pay then next months and leave some for electricity but its still a cheap way of staying away from the cost of hotels. As you know and i know from last trip of 4 weeks at 50% discount it still cost me around 90,000 pesos at Crown Regency Princeville Villes im Lapu Lapu.

Also this way you can do many side trips with out paying for a room that you are not using, cos your away for only a night or 2.

Sorry Cebu Local as i know your in the hospitality bussiness, and this is not good for you ! He He He ! Dont worry i am sure no many poeple will do it this way, after 5 visits this will be my first time i am trying this ok. I will let the board no of the pro's and con's of this idea.

I did not meet the owner but his son was there. I know Boli Bolton ( big south african man) who was overseeing the project. Yes your correct some did get down to 1700 pesos per night, mine at 2400 peso per night was a good rate considering I got to pick the room that I wanted and was the first guest to stay in the room as you know it only started opperations last November.

Maybe you can help me on another qestion Cebu Lover!

I like advernture and always trying to think up new ways of mongering!

Instead of flying i thought about taking a ferry boat to Cebu from manila in October 2005!

As the girls that cant afford to fly will take the ferry ! My theory is that they might need some ready cash and I will be the man !

Qestions are any disco entertainment on board and what is the better ferry to take!!
Been reading all back posts, i used to read from the whorists but find its out of date as he is getting older. This board is a great asset and hope to help others with my experience as well as learn from all the other guys experience.

Keep you advice and thoughts coming , even if you dont get the thanks from some of the guys you have mibe today!

Yes,You can get layed on the boats,just invite the girls staying in "steerage" or economy to share your cabin,It beats sharing a dormitory with 200 people.Bollie is another character.He is legend on the Burgos Bars.He likes his women like his Coffee Hot,Dark and Sweet.Stick with WG&A Marconista is in the maritime industry and knows his stuff,I will defer to hime in this area.Happy Hunting.

Bollie is another character.He is legend on the Burgos Bars.He likes his women like his Coffee Hot,Dark and Sweet.

Yes he also like his red wine, cos i bring it from australia for him! Very good man in my opinion.

Stick with WG&A Marconista is in the maritime industry and knows his stuff,I will defer to hime in this area.Happy Hunting.[/QUOTE]Yes received information from Marconista, but he mentioned super ferry's with their site. So What is WG&A?
Still nobody has been able to tell me if they have a disco or bar on board to mingle and check out the talent!

Thanks Cebu Local.

Just another Question this idea of appartment is slowley costing more, Where can i buy or hire a second habd fridge! as just found out it does not have one. But will go through with the idea just to get a different way of doing things. also when i am their i might bargin with landlord and take it for a year, cos it still will be cheaper for a year than a month at the Crowne Regency!

WG&A is the holding company which owns Super Ferry.Sorry I got technical here.But they have a disco and lounge/Bar on Board.Enjoy

I heard that "someone" got a txt from the housekeeper that another "someone" sent home. Apparantly, after a celibate servient year, that maid "met someone" on the boat and was texting with a big smile attached. Once she learned how to dress she was cute too (if you like thin), but I had to keep my distance here, though it would have been easy as much as it would have been stupid to play this close.

So yeah, close encounters are indeed rumoured to happen on boats. I've never had one, but then I've never taken a boat here, so far. That particular report was Pinay-Pinoy, so you could contemplate the additional attraction a foreigner might pose. Just be careful, di ba? Some hard up more "local" set of dudes might get jealous and it's a LONG swim to shore.

[QUOTE=finder99]I will shortly be coming to Manila and staying in the Alabang area. Is there any place nearby, where I can get some action and or sensual massage. Will apreaciate any information.[/QUOTE]

This may be a little late for the original poster, but I might as well provide the perspective for anyone who needs it in future.

Alabang is just just past Las Pinas (which is south of Metro Manila), on the way to Laguna. I can think of 3 faces to Alabang ...
1/ Rich subdivisions (local execs, politicians, and some foreigners)
2/ Festival Mall and Alabang Town Center Mall complexes
3/ You don't want to go to the other parts, mostly squatters areas. That includes metro-whatever mall unless you really dress down and don't take anything you don't want to lose.

If in Alabang, I'd suggest forget trying girls in the malls; if they're *there* then they aren't likely to be interested in your money. Maybe you can charm them, but I get the NorthAmerican feel there so I wouldn't bother.

Take a jeep or an FX a few minutes up towards SM South Mall. You'll see a few Kareoke-ish clubs, mostly on the right and I think one or two on the left. I've never checked them out, but I've heard rumours it's the "usual", so go for it. If you find a companion, I've noticed advertising for a new "EuroTel" with deep opening discounts across from SM SouthMall.

Or, you could go just a bit further - there's a few seedy videoke bars around the market area across from Pure Gold supermarket. You might be a hit (as long as no one dislikes you) there. Or, you can head up into Las Pinas proper a few more km, and find a veritable slew of bars etc.

Beyond that, you could go left into Zapote and into Cavite, or up the coastal road to Manila. All this is normally within an hour or less of Alabang. We're not even mentioning venturing into side streets and the more rural areas. Don't do that unless you're very comfortable, know at least enough tagalog to have conversations with locals, and/or have good protection at your side. There's also a way to take a jeep from somewhere around SM over to Paranaque (where you will find lots of other not-so-safe-for-strangers bars), but I'd be hard put to find that without going for a walk myself to hunt for it. I did that once but it's not easy to find.

You can speak english in the upscale and mall parts of Alabang. Anywhere else around there short of metro Manila and I urge you to be able to order your "yum-may-cheese" in Taglish at Jollibee - they will expect you to. (Which reminds me of a very yummy Jollibee girl, but that's a whole different story!)

Thanks for the advice! So i will take a ski rope with me in case they throw me overboard! that way i can bare foot ski all the way to Cebu, Ha Ha
I promise to write a full report on this trip. Just in case any others might want to try something different.
The price if you book return ticket, with meals, in suite ( 2 people allowed) for the one price. is around 10,000 peso's. It takes 23 hours, so if you take 2 nights at hotel 5000 peso's off you are left with a trip from manila to cebu , back to manila for 5000 peso's about the same for flying.
The difference have you ever tried to pick up and join the mile high club on a plane?? Also you have restaruants, Bars, disco, as well as the ferry i am catching has a swimming pool.
So what girl would'ny like to saty in suite with bath, than in dormatory style bedding.?? none I HOPE!!!!
Dont worry i do this on the 17th of october this year ! so will post report very soon.

I noticed there is little or no info here on Boracay so I thought I would post the little bit I know from being here the past 2 days. I also read another post that recommended mongers bring a girl here from Manila as there is no action here, but I would only second that if you had to be with the super model types that are 9s and 10s in looks (and charge for that status as well).

Although certainly not as busy with action as Manila or Angeles, there is still action here on or around White Beach. Even though it is still low season, there are several girls (mostly 5-7s in looks) that hang out on White Beach across from the Regency Resort near boat station 2 and The Wake night club. They will quickly quote you absurd tourist prices (3000 - 3500 pesos for Long Time) but I always laugh and you can easily get the price down to Manila Prices (say 1800 - 2000 LT). My first night I found a very energetic 19 year old there that was a 7 in looks and was up to 3 rounds (the last 2 she initiated) and also open to numerous naughty pics (it seems like pretty much all the working girls are in Phillipines though as long as they are faceless). I'll post some pics in a week or so after I return home.

There are also some girls that hang around Hey Jude and Summer Place after around 11PM. On Friday night, there were actually several cuter ones (7s and a few 8s) around the entrance to Summer Place (some at tables, some out in front) from midnight on. I saw some 9s inside but I do not know if they were working there in Borocay, or had come down with the Western guys they were with.

Also, one need only stroll down that stretch between Hey Jude and Summer Place and back to be propositioned by any number of the girls (be careful as there are also more than a few Lady Boys lurking about).

It seems like all the places to stay in Boracay will allow female guests, although I do not know for certain about the high end places with door guards (but I imagine so since this place really caters to tourists). I am staying at Villa Sambrosa (formerly GPs) and I have a clean and fairly modern room w/ air-con, warm water, fridge, 2 large beds and cable TV for 1000 pesos a night (negotiated down from 1200).

If you have any additional info to add on Boracay, feel free to speak up.

Happy Hunting

[Additional note: I noticed on Saturday night that there were more guards and cops out and the SW traffic seemed to be much lower plus there were no ladies stationed across from Regency. Still there were a number around the entrance of Summer Place and still a few strolling up and down the walk between boat station 3 and 2, but I suspect the better looking ones were snatched up earlier as the pickings were slim after midnight so I declined. On the plus side, the band at Summer Place was awesome with excellent Marley, Sublime and other 80s/90s covers.]

[Additional note2: Sunday night was pretty dead. There were still a fair amount of guards out so not so many SWs. About 1AM 8 or 10 pretty cute girls showed up at Summer Place, but when I approached 2 of the free ones they separately quoted exhorbitant prices around 3000p short time even though it was already 2AM and they were not sure to get a client. They were surprisingly firm in price and seem to prefer to go home alone than lower it, and their unwillingness to budge turned me off so I stopped trying and decided to save it up for Angeles City where I was headed the next day.]

I stayed there for a couple of nights, pretty nice hotel with big rooms.

First evening I called for a room service massage. Here comes the girl, mid twenties, not really prettey and not really funny either. Did a hell of a good massage though using oil. I did not ask for extra service because i was no attracted at all and she did not offer any. Damage 800 pesos.

Second evening, called for another masseuse. This time came one in her early 30 but more attractive and out going. Massage was not that good but I could feel she was going close to the brothers downstairs which of course made the colonel called for back up.

As soon as she saw I was quite ready for some action she proposed HJ. I asked for more but refused anthing else. I said ok hatever and she gave me one of the best HJ I ever had.

Total damage: 800 pesos + 300 pesos tip.

On the island Mindoro (2 hrs ride + ferry, south of Manila) there is a place called Sabang. There is very good scuba diving and 4 go-go bars. The girls are very young and if you ask them to join you they all stay at your room over night. The girls I saw were working in Manila but went to Sabang to earn "some extra". Their parents knew nothing. The main village on the island is Puerto Galera, but it is very quiet compared to Sabang.

Hi everybody,

A question for Harvey Wb and possibly other people who've been to San Fernando,

I just read that you weren't comfortable going through the San Fernando area. Could you tell me why?

Here's your quote I'm talking about:

"Poro Point, between Bauang and San Fernando is basically all freelancers at night, sitting outside the bars. Never partook, just took a trike through there, trying to get to the old AF Base, I gave up. I'd be careful, wasn't comfortable just passing through."

Because I am planning to live near San Fernando for a while, so I'd like to know if the area is safe. I thought it was, but your post got me doubting, but it didn't give any details why?

Please help before I spend a thousand on a ticket etc, only to be feeling unsafe there. Maybe other people too could advise?

i was in a tryke and the only cano within 10km of the bars at poro (or on they way to poro) point, so i was uncomfortable, no big deal. i was only in dt san fernando, la union, 2x and liked other cities better, but then that's how i felt about mnl and baguio at first.

bauang, la union, just south of san fernando has an american legion post and i assume, a community of expats, so it should be an ok place. there's a restaurant with a "western" meat market and other goodies should be available in the area or up in baguio (30 miles "up", lol, but about 90 minutes by bus). lot's of "resorts" - i liked bali hai, great food, but pass on the mongolian barbeque, the "wok" doesn't seem to get hot enough like some places i've been to in the us, otherwise the food is great.

great massage in baguio, right at the base of session rd, right side of street, 2nd floor in an office building, when i was there last. run by an expat and his cebuana wife, 4 female physical therapists, clinically clean place, great massage and no "hanky-panky", lol. also great coffee (for about 50 pesoes per kg for roasted beans) at the baguio city market, it runs behind the stores on magsaysay, i think. also try cafe by the ruins in burnham park and the cooks inn at the burnham hotel, just off of session rd, about 2 intersections up from the base of session and magsaysay.

good luck.

Ok thanks Harvey, for taking time to advise.

If all goes well I'll add a post with my experiences and observations there, but it will be in a few months.

I will be going to ormoc city early next year to meet a few pen-pals, and will like some information / suggestions regarding accomodations, hunting grounds, go-go bars,open air bars,restaurants.Preferably a hotel with swimming pool and GF.I always read good things in this board about the Leyte ladies(and their oral skills), and will post my findings and experiences.

Any help is appreciated.Thanks.

Avioneto

Just got back from 27 days in the phil and as I visited 5 cities I think I will just post this in the “Other Areas” This was my 5th time and each trip I seem to look forward to more and more. Of course the most painful part is the long international flight with the obligatory change of planes in Tokyo before finally landing in Manila. Unfortunately 4 international flights all landed in the space of 30 min so the immigration lines were horrendous. I waited for 1 hour and 30 min before finally clearing customs and getting my taxi. A quick shower and off to LA Café for my first encounter. While I would admit most of the girls are not 8 or 10 they are plenty cute enough for this guy and it just takes a few San Migs and a little patience to pick a nice one. I always buy them a drink and talk for a while to see if they are sweet and a GFE experience before I take one. Found a 19 yr old cutie named Michelle and off we went. As I was only spending only one night in Manila I took a room at the Amazon Hotel which is just down the street from LA and above the bar. Small rooms but clean and only 1250P for a A/C room. I gave Michelle 1500P and she was pleased and then she pleased me.

In the morning I took a PAL flight to Cagayan de Oro to meet up with an 18 yr old I had met on Filipina Heart and had chatted with and called for over 2 months. I had high hopes for this tall slim Filipina but unfortunately she seemed to be joined at the hip with her greedy family. When she met me at the airport there were her parents, a brother,a sister, two cousins, a grandmother, and two aunts. She said nobody had eaten yet that day so I told them to stop at a restraunt and we would all get acquainted . They stopped at a seaside place and the food was delicious. I expected to pay and they let me..lol.. After dinner they dropped Nina and I off at the Nawaan resort and I thought I was finished with her family and we could enjoy being with each other. Next morning there is a knock on the door and her parents and family are there to say HI. Nina says “ lets go get breakfast” and all agree of course. I didn’t agree to pay for all but guess who the waiter gave the bill too? The only foreigner at the table..lol.. From there the whole experience went downhill. She wanted to go to the mall as I had told her when we chatted that we could do that and I would buy her a shirt or jeans. I said ok lets go but noticed the whole family getting into the multicab. She said they will just go along for the ride. They were all with us at lunch so we all ate together and I paid of course. At the mall her mother told her to buy shirts for the whole family and that’s when I decided enough is enough. I told her mother NO I will buy only Nina clothes. I thought maybe if they were pissed at me they would leave us alone but later they all wanted to go to a movie. I had decided at this point to cut my losses and instead of spending 4 days at the resort with her I would leave. Of course she didn’t understand what the problem was or maybe I didn’t understand how attached some girls are to their families. I gave her 1500p to help ease the pain and said I had to go. Even as I was waiting for the bus to take me to Cagayan de Oro her father tells me that Nina owes him 1000P that she borrowed so she could chat with me. I had had it by then and told him to get it from her as she had borrowed it. Sad thing is that she was sweet and nice but had to have her family involved in everything so it spoiled the whole experience.

Next stop was a stay at the VIP hotel in Cagayan de Oro where I met up with another 18 yr old chat mate who worked at the Central Market selling fish. We spent the weekend together going to the Eco Village and a bus trip to Illigan to see the Maria Christina Falls. She was fun to be with but in a non sexual way. Did not want to do anything but kiss and so after the weekend we parted as friends. I stayed in the city a few more days and went white water rafting which was a great experience. Definitely something fun to do when your not mongering there. I also picked up streetwalkers within a block of the hotel for 500P although they started at 1500. This was my first visit to this city as I usually go to Cebu but I will definitely be going back. It seems to have everything. Nice malls, good food inexpensive hotels and plenty of girls available.

After 4 days there I took the bus to Butuan for yet another meet of a girl I met on Filipina Heart. This one a 19 year old college student. She was nice although the first meeting she had to bring the obligatory aunt and uncle and best friend along so I was having worries she would be like Nina. No worries though as after the dinner they must have all given their approval as we were left alone and we went to Camiguin Island for a day and night. I will say if anyone is looking for a place to be alone with a girl this has some nice resorts and no crowds. In fact it doesn’t have much of anything really. Two dialup internet cafés that are slower than molasses in Jan. No bars, no massage places, no malls. Definitely a BYOB place. For a day trip there you can see some water falls, cold springs, hot springs that you can go for a dip in. A sunken cemetery that has a beautiful cross out in the water. The beaches are not Boracay quality but there is a white sandbar called White Island. After the weekend she went back to school and I took the bus from Butuan to Davao, 10 hours later I was in Davao wanting never to ride a bus again..That’s just too long a trip by bus even though I enjoyed seeing all the sights along the way. In Davao I stayed at Hotel Leticia which is a nice place with all the amenities . Met a 21 yr old chat mate who is studying to be a teacher. Very sweet girl who was just a joy to be with on many levels. Had my first taste of durian the fruit they say smells like hell but tastes like heaven.. Well maybe I was expecting too much but to me it smelled bad and tasted worse..lol..Maybe it’s an acquired taste but I did not care for it at all. After 4 days I said goodbye and flew to Cebu .

I feel like Cebu is my second home after being there 4 times before as I know all the places to eat,drink,party, and shop. I usually stay at the Metro Park hotel in Lahug a 3 star hotel that’s adequate for me but might be a little run down. Guess I like the price of 850p a night that I get. It’s girl friendly and after checking in I went to my usual trolling place the SM mall. The last couple of years the pickings seem to be getting slimmer due to I think security wanting to keep the girls who stroll the mall out. Nevertheless I have always been able to find someone even if it takes longer than before. And if I strike out there I take a taxi to Ayala Mall and try my luck there. This time a little 22 yr old standing by Mc Donalds made eye contact with me and I walked over to talk to her but she walked away but every once in a while would look back to make sure I was following her.I didn’t know what was going on .At first I thought she was not interested and I stopped but when I stopped she would too and still look back at me. Finally she walked out of the mall and on the street and then she stopped and we started talking.. She said she needed money and was a nice girl. Yeah right.. Anyway it seemed for 1000P she would be a bad girl so we hopped into a taxi and went back to the Metro Park for a little afternoon delight. After 4 days in Cebu I took a V-hire down to Moalboal for a few days of laying on the beach. Very quiet little town with enough bars to keep the nights from getting boring.

Then it was time to take a plane back to Manila for another night of LA Café action with another sweetie before heading back to the real world of work, worry and stress. All in all a great vacation and I will head back again in Jan hopefully.

Guys,

Next March or April, I'm going to be meeting a Filipina friend who's now married and living overseas. She's making a trip back to visit her relatives and we're planning to have 2 or 3 days together during her trip.

What we're looking for is a nice, secluded beach someplace. Doesn't have to be any big resort. Just a place we could go to relax for a bit. I was originally leaning toward Camiguin Island, but that's where she's from. So, cannot go there for fear of being seen by the relatives. Other places we were considering were Cebu, Boracay, or Batangas, as neither of us has been to either of them. They just seem a bit too developed for what we're looking for now and too crowded as well - especially during the time period we'll be there.

So, could any of you gentlemen recommend anyplace that might be suitable for us? I did find one place in my searching that seems good - Dakak Park Beach Resort in Zamboanga. Supposed to have their own private beach. Any of you guys heard of it? Stayed there?

Look forward in any other suggestions you might have. In the meantime, I'll go back to reading through rest of The Philippines forums and see if I can get any other ideas.

Thanks all,

Pacific Blue

Nightrider:

You have stumbled on a great secret, Cagayan is one of the best places in the phils for mongering et al. CDO has some of the Horniest and Kinkiest Women in the PHils IMHO, I dont know what it is, something in the water, tribal traditional traits or the fact that thats just how they are, but they seem very open to experimentation there and every woman I ever met from there is exceptionally hot and horny. My very first "double header" with 2 Filipinas was there and my first Filipina "Bowling ball" (All 3 holes) was from CDO

Foreigners are all the rage there as so few of them are around, it is easy to get lucky at the Mall or out walking around. However, the best bet seems to be lining up a few on the chats before entering the "hump zone".

Looks like you got hit up pretty bad......that happens there too.


Spam hog

Indeed it is everything you say it is Spam Hog. I have as much fun here as I do in Dumaguete. There are several colleges in town so this pulls in the young lovelies from the surrounding area. Like you said it's best to chat up girls in advance. It's possible to find someone in the mall or something like that. But if one doesn't find anything to their liking there's not much else to do in Cagayan. It's not an attractive town at all and the good beaches are some distance away. There is white water rafting as Nightrider said. So to avoid the risk of wasting time it's best to set up some contacts in advance.

As for dealing with greedy family, I find it's best just to say no from early on. People in this country will keep asking and keep taking until you do.

Pacific Blue. You may want to look into Alona Beach on Panglao Island, Bohol. It's got a pretty good setup with resorts of various classes up and down the beach. The beach is open to walk up and down, not walled off like Mactan. There are lots of eating places, limited entertainment and no bar girl scene. It's a good place to BYO, which you will. The beach is just ok and there's pretty good scuba diving.

By the way Spam Hog, great posts in the Cebu section. I thought I saw you in the first week of November in Cebu. I think you were with the Mrs. at the time, before your little mongering tear.

Great post Nightrider. You were there 27 days, so I hope you'll have a few more reports.

I was a bit surprised ....the family dropped you and their 18 year old daughter off at the resort...and she stayed the night??? Damn!

Moalboal...tell us more. I've never been there. I was under the impression it was a BYO girl place. What were the beaches like?

Lastly, you mention one of the "matchmaking sites". I've brought this up on another thread, but does anyone think it's worthwhile to have a seperate thread on this?

X Man[/QUOTE]My pc crashed as I was replying so if this gets posted twice I apologize. Anyway Moalboal is great if you are into Scuba diving as a local told me that President Gloria goes there for diving and you know she could go anywhere in Phil. I only took an introductory dive so am not an expert but you will see busses of Korean tourists come there for just a diving vacation. Moalboal is easy to get to from Cebu as it is only a 2 hour V-Hire ride away. Pasagama Beach is the area with the resorts and dive shops and bars. Bar scene is ok but I did not see any pros there when I was drinking. Not saying there is none because maybe I just did not find the available ones. The bar hostesses that are serving drinks seem friendly enough so possibly they could be had but I did'nt try. If I was going there to Moalboal I would BYOB. The best beach is White Sand Beach which is a short trike or motorcycle ride away. I rented a mountain bike and pedaled there one day just for something to do.
A German Expat runs an action adventure place at Pasagama Beach that I would recommend. He does canyoning, river treks, rappelling, horseback riding, I think even a volcano trek if you have a couple days. If anyone wants his website or e-mail PM me. I rented a bike from him and also did a day of rappeling that was the most fun I ever had with my clothes on. LOL.

I like the idea of a matchmaking site too. Guess Jackson will have to take that under consideration if he gets enough requests for it.

[QUOTE=Pacific Blue]Guys,

Next March or April, I'm going to be meeting a Filipina friend who's now married and living overseas. She's making a trip back to visit her relatives and we're planning to have 2 or 3 days together during her trip.

What we're looking for is a nice, secluded beach someplace. Doesn't have to be any big resort. Just a place we could go to relax for a bit. I was originally leaning toward Camiguin Island, but that's where she's from. So, cannot go there for fear of being seen by the relatives. Other places we were considering were Cebu, Boracay, or Batangas, as neither of us has been to either of them. They just seem a bit too developed for what we're looking for now and too crowded as well - especially during the time period we'll be there.

So, could any of you gentlemen recommend anyplace that might be suitable for us? I did find one place in my searching that seems good - Dakak Park Beach Resort in Zamboanga. Supposed to have their own private beach. Any of you guys heard of it? Stayed there?

Look forward in any other suggestions you might have. In the meantime, I'll go back to reading through rest of The Philippines forums and see if I can get any other ideas.

Thanks all,

Pacific Blue[/QUOTE]I missed the last boat going to Camiguin so had to spend a night in Balingoan. A trike driver recommended the Mantangale Alibuag Dive Resort in Balingoan. If you like secluded this is the place.At least the night I was there it was just me and my girl and an Austrailan and his girl. Ammenities were very nice. I would recommend this place to anyone.

I hope your girl's first name is not Diona LOL! I knew a babe from camiguin with that name years ago, but she was an operator.

Dakak is OK, but for TRUE seclusion (empty beaches where you can get frisky) I can tell you a WAY better place. Take the bus from Cagayan about 4 hours to Surigao City. Thgen catch a ferry to General Luna ("GL") on Siargao Island (about 3 hours). TONS of isolateed beaches on tiny islands that are incredibly beautiful. Great surfing too. NOT developed much at all (unlike Dakak orv Bohol for example).

Sounds like you had as much fun as I did recently. I was in the Phils for 30days and we went back and forth between Cebu and Bohol. I budgeted my money my 3rd week there in Cebu by staying at a pension house for 900p per night. Good AirCon but noisy. I think we'll have to check out Cagayan next time we're there. Are there any "public" beaches there? When I was in Cebu and Bohol it seemed the only beaches worth going to were at resorts.

Wulfe

Just for curiosity, what kind of action is there in Bohol? What cities are good for mongering? Any good bars for picking up WG's? I was with my wife the whole time so I couldn't really check out that scene. We did stay at Bohol Tropics in Tagbilaran and they had a 3 in 1 type bar, one was dance club and the others I'm not sure about but I couldn't get away to check it out. Has anybody been there? I haven't heard anybody mention Bohol in a FR so I was just wondering if there was anything going on there or not. If not then I guess that's a good reason why there's no thread for it.

Wulfe

Been to Bohol many times but always with the Mrs, never had a chance to monger there, Bohol, as you no doubt know, is one of the places in the Pils that boasts the friendliest people, so next to Camiguin I have to agree.

Only action I saw was a few KTV's that from a far, never set foot in them. There is also an ice cream parlor, rather famous (cant remember the name of it) in the town square, I saw a lot of Ladies hanging around this place on a saturday evening while I was sharing a float with Mrs Spamhog, I imagine if I was alone........ well its worth a shot anyhow,

fast eddie 48[/QUOTE]Fast Eddie,

There are 2 ferries from Cebu to Tagbilaran and they run all day. Well there's actually another ferry too but its SLOW. The two fast ferries are Wessam or Weesam and Ocean Jet. Takes about an hour and a half on the fast ferries, and if I remember correctly about 4 hours on the slow boat. I've only ridden that one once when we got to the Pier too late and it was the only one left. They have cots so we just slept the whole way. Once you're in Tagbilaran you can take a taxi or bus to Panglao. Obviously from my previous post I'm not sure about the action there but I think Panglao is pretty much a bring your own type resort. I will mention that when I was in Island City Mall, I had MANY women looking and smiling even when I was with the wife. Lots of pretty salesgirls in the dept. store.

Spam Hog,

I completely agree about the friendliness of the people there in Bohol. I'm definitely going to live there some day.

Yes just drive up to the hills, there are lots of 9 holes. just by the jeepy stops !!
You will see them standing there all 9 Holes for your club !!!

He He he !

Joke of course but how could i not make a comment as this site is for fucking holes with dick not for hitting balls into holes!

This is a light hearted comment and please dont mean to offend you okay Mate!
Good luck with the golf thing but you can do that at home ! ph is for you know what !

well porty , u may be 20 and dumb and full of cum. but i can't poon 24/7.
i travel all over the world , i fuck the local girls and i golf and dive etc. when u look thru this phil site you will see lots of reports of diving especially. and lots of pooning reports. some like to sit in a bar all day then poon at night , i don't. so to each is own pal. don't try to dictate what others should do.

[QUOTE=Porty]Good luck with the golf thing but you can do that at home ! ph is for you know what ![/QUOTE]Well, in Korea, golf is so rediculously expensive, I'd love to play a few rounds in the philippines and I'd like to know about some good, inexpensive courses. You can only do 'you now what' so many hours of the day. Then what do you do? I am sure other mongers have golfed some nice rounds in the meantime and in-between time.

In Korea

I don't play golf but have been up to the course. There is a great view from there and a nice little club house where I had a drink and chat with the interesting characters up there. It would be a different place to say you have played I'm sure. Like you mongering is night only for me, the rest of the time I want to dive or explore the fascinations of the country I am a visitor in.

I will have to disagree,Since I run golf tours for Koreans and Japanese who go to the Philippines to play golf,Tagaytay Highlands Golf course is World Class as well as the 4 Arnold Palmer,Jack Nicklaus etc courses of Eagle Ridge and being located in Tagaytay,It is not as Hot and Humid as you would think,The Club John Hay and Baguio Country Club courses in Baguio are also well maintained and defenitely not hot and humid.Btw Here s another joke for you,Why is golf better then sex,Its because you have 18 holes to shoot your balls into during 1 round.Touche

I have read here in the past that there is little "action" in Boracay and you must bring a companion or you will be alone. I was wondering if that has changed. I was there many years ago and at the time you could meet a few "action" girls. Hope that you can meet someone nowadays too. Also, any chance of action in Palawan? I once heard there was action there in or near Star Island, which is near Palawan's main city.

Spent a week on Boracay in November. Been there a few times but was quite surprised at the change in the last couple of years. If you want it, it is there. Plenty of girls working bar to bar, even Nigi's which I didn't think I would see. There's a previous report of girls hanging out by one of the boat stations but you see them walking up and down the beach path looking for eye contact and they are pretty overt coming into bars to pick up guys. Didn't partake so cannot comment on cost/services.

Going to Baguio City this spring and wondering if anyone has any reports of Baguio? Any clubs to look for and places to stay? Help me out people

I had a post a while back on Baguio. I went back in June of last year and had a great time again. Although most of the bars don't allow barfining for takeout you can have a great experience in house. You buy the minimum lady's drink go to a vip and stay in the room untill closing if you want. There are plenty of good,clean hotels to stay at but the action is spread out so you'll have to take a cab. I traveled alone last time and didn't have a problem. You won't see many caucasions there mostly tourists from th PI.
Have fun! I'm headed back to the PI in March and will revisit...

What are the costs?

The drink cost will be 1500-2500 pesos depending on the bar and it includes everything,i.e. the drinks and what ever the girl does with you...

Easy overnight trip (or longer) from Cebu City. During my trip the Cebu people and Bohol people were feuding about who should get funding for a new airport...international airport, if my memory is correct.

Alona Beach is on Panglao Island which is just a short bridge away from Bohol of Chocolate Hills and Tarsier fame.

This is really a beautiful place, well worth a visit. As someone has already suggested, bring a companion. Nevertheless, someone else also has said that they got plenty of looks from the ladies. I'll second that. And some of the ladies I saw were very attractive...looked like a bit of Spanish influence. This was away from the tourist area, by the way. If I had a lot of time, I'd love to see if I could seduce a Bohol lady...or vice versa. BTW, I took a companion...lady I met online.

This is a pretty easy trip out of Cebu City. I'm repeating info from earlier posts, but fast service is Ocean Jet, I think 700 pesos, and about 90 min. trip. The "business" class has better seats, and maybe more privacy. Not really worth it for me since I spent the whole time on the top deck enjoying the ocean breeeze and views. Bring some snacks and drinks, although you can buy stuff on the ship.

Alona beach is quickly being Boracized. It's hard to get a picture of the beach, or the water, or the sunset withought including the ubiquitious boats...who are there to cater to tourists.

Hotels....not as cheap as I would have expected for such a remote place. It turns out there was a big fire last year (sounds like boracay, doesn't it?) which wiped out quite a few bungalows. That might be why prices are higher. On the other hand, I stepped into a brand new place right on the beach. Still had construction going on in the back, and no lobby to speak of, but it was great. Place was called Ibis.

Anyone want more info, please ask. I think I've been online too long already.

2) Port of Taglibaran
3, 5) beach
4) good restaurant....name will come to me later (forgive me ... I'm on my 5th glass of wine)

Ibis room 101 was 2500 pesos, new place, air con, very hot water, ocean view, and ocean wave crashing sound if you are in room 101 or other front rooms. Only BIG drawback was no car service. It's okay, you can hire someone to carry your bags since it's so cheap. Or be a heeee maaaan and put that case on your shoulder and walk through the sand. Be a man!

Tarsier is the smallest primate.

I was with a Filipina who had been to Bohol before, so I relaxed. BIG MISTAKE. If I was on my own, I would be watching, asking, taking care of myself. We get to the terminal at Bohol. I should have been watching the people in front of me. The people who know what they are doing, or have been there before will often be moving faster...and they are the people you should follow and observe (actually, you should talk to them on the boat/plane if possible). I let down my guard and I paid the price. No taxis were left and I was cornered by a friendly tricycle driver, who had enough polite English to keep me from telling him to get lost and also enough charm to keep my companion conversing. I knew this wasn't the way I wanted to go, so I kept searching for a taxi or van...nothing available. Soon, the other tricycle drivers were smelling the scent of fresh meat. I knew I screwed up and just wanted out of the situation, so I followed my instincts and took the original tricycle driver.

This was the slowest tricycle on the island as far as I know. I felt lucky that this machine actually made it. Tricycles can be fun,,,,especially for the first five or ten minutes...after that, it is misery.

Wake up in the darkness...and get that shock of not knowing where you are. Is this a nightmare. Where in hell am I.

Realization... You brain figures it out, you're on an island, on the beach to be exact. You can hear the faint noise of the waves crashing just beyond the sliding two sliding glass doors, which you know are there, even though you can't see them in the dim light. You also have the shadow of a woman next to you, curled under the sheet, the same sheet you've been pushing off you to keep cool. She's cold, you think. You want to see her, but you don't need to. You have the seen her, splashing in the surf, snorkeling above the coral...memories of dinner, the walk on the beach, the sunset, the early exit to the bedroom; the long leisurly time when the two of you hugged and kissed and allowed your bodies to do what they were made for.

You grab onto your [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url] hard on and take the damn thing to the toilet. You regret that last San Miguel. When you walk back to the bed, the room is lighter, and you realize the sun will soon rise. You think it would be great to walk out the door and enjoy the tropical breeze as the sun rises above the waters.

But your sleepiness wins out. You lay down close to her. It's early, you don't want to wake her. But you remember how good the night before was. You get closer to the woman, close enough to smell her, close enough to feel her warmth. Her back is toward you and you think about sleep...but you realize that you've lost out to wakefullness. The light, the passion, you won't go to sleep now.

As you relax...you exhale...and settle into the bed....and as you do she reacts. She murmurs and pushes her bottom into your crotch. She moves toward you inviting you to put your arms around her. You hug and kiss and touch her. She still has her back to you, and she pushes her self toward you. She's moist, and everything you want slides into her.

You wonder how it is you could wake with the thoughts of fear and nightmare, and find yourself in a dream, a real-world dream where you can sense the ocean as you deliver yourself into a beautiful woman.

And after our lovemaking we actually made it out onto the beach for sunrise. And it was good...until....

The boatmen spotted us.

Sir, can I take you to an island

Sir...//Sir..

If it's midday, it's not so bad because there are lots of people on the beach.

But try to step onto the beach with a woman, who's still dripping with love juices at 6am, and you'll have every boatman on the beach trying to offer you their services.

I decided to get myself a t-shirt with "dili" printed on it. Maybe get a tatoo on my forhead.

Alona beach.

I heading back to Cebu for work for 2 weeks, and have 3 free days before I get there. I've got a flite to Boracay (Caticlan actually). Is transportation from Caticlan to Boracay easy?

Any suggestions for hotels? I see a recommendation for Villa Sambrosa at about PhP1200. It sounds ok. Any others? Which Boat Station is closest to the night life?

Sounds like there are girls available now too. Even if the pickings are slim, I'll get by. When I get back to Cebu there will be plenty of opportunity.

I'll post my Cebu info on that board, in case anybody wants to get together after Feb 14.

If I went back to Borocay, I would try to take someone with me.

From Caticlan you take a van or tricycle to the ferry station and then a short ride out to the island. It's all very organized in a typically unorganized Philippine way. The ferry stops first at station 3, then 2, then 1.

I stayed at Dave's Straw Hat and found it very nice. If you want to use the Internet, you go upstairs to a small office where there are two computers. Everytime I was there I was alone. I rented a mountain bike and it was well worth the price as I could explore so many places. It's not far at all to bicycle to the opposite side of the island. It's roughly shaped like a dumbell.

If you really need to be near the nightlife, go for boat station 1. I think places in that area would be more expenesive though. With a bicycle it probably wouldn't matter.

Dave's is closest to boat station 3.

I WILL BE BACK IN CEBU BY THAT TIME

Thanks Xman. I see Dave's Straw Hat recommended on several sites. I already went ahead and booked Isla Gecko, which doesn't get mentioned much, but it's right at Boat Station 2 and about $32/nite.

From my searching the forum and other sites, I think Sta 1 is more expensive and upscale, Sta 2 is moderate, with the most nite life, and Sta 3 is the cheapest and quietest.

I'm sure there is some variety within each area, but I think that overall description applies. If I'm not happy, I'll move.

No time to bring a girl, I'm only in Manila to connect. I arrive on Singapore Air from SIN, in NAIA 1? I have to taxi to the Asian Spirit tkt office, then to the old domestic airport. I arrive Thurs, 1:10pm and depart at 4:00pm, no checked baggage on Singapore Air. Hope that's enough time. My alternative was to spend a nite in Manila, and only have 2 in Boracay.

Cebu Local, I just realized that you answered most of my questions within the quote. Thanks. I'll check out The Bazurra and Wave Disco.

I'll PM my phone number. It won't work til I unlock my cell in Cebu Monday. Staying at the Marriott. We could meet in the bar or better, the executive lounge.

CL

You're right about the sched. The last flight MNL-Caticlan is on Seaair at 4pm. It was full when I booked 2 days ago. So I booked Asian Spirit 6k897 at 3:30pm. Thanks for the heads up.

Looking at your former posts, I see you're a travel agent and very well informed. Does booking flights like these and 3 nite stays in Boracay fit into the scale of your business, or is it not worth the trouble?

I would be happy to use your services as a travel agent, if you can make some money at it.

One of the hassles I run into is that the local airlines won't issue an eticket with a credit card. You have to buy it at a ticket office!

Thanks again, and hope I can make it up to you in Cebu next week.

Just got back from Boracay this morning, so I will write the essentials now while still fresh in my head.

Stayed Nigi Nigi 2 (too) near Boat Station 1 for 2k P. Not bad, breakfast included. Stayed Nigi Nigi 1 in September for 1.3k P. The season makes a big difference in price. Goes for girls to.

More Girls there this time. Although seems like the core group didn't change. I distinctly remembered faces. Took a 20yr old hottie for 1.5 P Isabelle. She immediatly asked for another 500 P, but I thought 1.5 P was plenty as she was crap in the sack. The next night took another, much more energenic and gave 2 P. .Abbey. a bit more for a good performance, but she also asked for another 500P. Seems that's the proceedure.

Took both from Cocomongas which seems to have a younger crowd than summer place which is tourist heavy. Heads up: Also more "alternative" type women at Cocomongas.

Cheers,

Spitzbube

I will be traveling to the Philippines next month with a friend of mine that wants to go to this city. A female colleague told him this place would make an excellent retirement destination. Can anyone provide any information on this city? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I just came from the Philippines Airline web site. I can't see any flight between Cebu and CDO. Is that right? I can fly from MLA to CDO, but that's not what I wanted to do.

My intention was to go Tokyo - Cebu and have CDO as a FREE extra city. Maybe I'll just do MLA - Cebu like I did last time. Heck, I haven't been to AC in years.

Just went to Cebu Air: [url]http://www.cebupacificair.com/[/url]
MLA to CDO for less than 3000 pesos, but again I don't see a CEBU - CDO flight.

AsianSpirit seem to be the only way to do Cebu -CDO.

Thanks CL,

Last time I went to Davao I asked SEAIR about flights south, and I seem to remember them saying they didn't fly to Mindanao, but soon would. Maybe the conversation was about Davao specifically and my old, alcohol addled brain misfired.
When I went to the SEAIR website they listed Mindanao cities, but the links were dead. I just assumed...

Thanks for the correction and all the other valuable information you provide.

Sits in the Mindanao Sea about 20 km off the north coast of mainland Mindanao,this tiny island of Camaguin {"cam-ee-gin"} is one of my personal favourite tourist spots, it offers ivory beaches, beautiful pools and lagoons, and undulating scenery. Adventure is provided by good scuba diving, trekking and mountain climbing, well you do have seven volcanoes to choose from, the best being Mount Hibok-Hibok. Camaguin also has a mulitude of hot springs, a submerged cemetery for divers to explore near the coastal town of Bonbon, a natural soda water spring, and 35 resorts, most in the northern half of the island.
Another of the major tourist attrations is the annual Lanzones festival, held in the fourth week of October. You have just a few days to book your holiday to the Philippines to go watch this festival, revellers dressed only in Lanzone leaves, dance and parade around in a tribute to this humble fruit, one of the islands major sources of income.
The festival is one of the liveliest and most welcoming in the Philippines, and this on an island famous for the friendliness of its people. Camaguin is also peaceful and spiritual, locals are proud of their faith { Catholic }.
As Camaguin is not that big, it really does not matter where you stay, you can easily visit all the sights. There is a 70km coastal road, which can be circled in one day, the interior is rugged, those seven volcanoes make for excellent climbing.
Ferries from Balingoan, around 80km northeast of Cagayan de Oro {the city of Gold}, arrive at Benoni on the southeast coast. To arrange tours, book ferry tickets, and make long distance telephone calls try the Camaguin Authorised Ticket Agent.. TEL:-08822/387 4000, in the Negros Navigation Office in Benoni
Several jeepneys run every day from Benoni to Mambajao, the busy little capital on the north coast, some of the resorts have a meet and greet service and will pick you up.

Mambajao has a tourist office where you can inquire about accomodation and climbing Hibok-Hibok,there are also a few banks, where the service is slow and rates are low, best to make sure you carry enough peso or dollars with you.
The closest beach too Mambajao is Cabu-An close to the barangay of Balbagon, there is some good coral close to the shore and around six reasonable resorts. Agohay beach, 7km west of Mambajao, has a few resorts also, and is the best place to base yourself for walks into the islands interior.There is a marked trail to Katibawasan Falls, journey time of around two hours on foot, but well worth it, to see the beauty of the stream plunging over the rocky cliff into a deep pool, this pool is wonderful for a cooling swim. The trail is marked but it is still possible to get lost so its best to hire a guide.
The vulcanologists who monitor mount Hibok-Hibok are very happy to give you an insight into their work, and too show a few spectacular photographs of past eruptions,they can be found at Philvocs (mon-fri, 9am-4pm). Three kilometres in from the barangay Tagdo you will find the Ardent Hot Spring (daily 9am-10pm; 20 peso)around one hour on foot from Agohay beach. These springs are very hot, being heated by the volcanic interior of Mount Hibok-Hibok, they reach temperatures of 40c.The best time to visit is in the evening when its dark, you can sit in one of the pools with a cold drink and gaze at the stars {heavenly}. There is a good restaurant, a coffee shop and simple accommodation in small cottages.
Mount Hibok-Hibok is the only active volcano, and at a height of 1,250m it can be climbed in a day, but this is a strenuous climb, the trail crosses some very steep slopes and treacherous rocks.. you should not attempt this alone you can hire a guide for around 1,000 peso, most resorts have a list. The most common approach is through the barangay Esperanza, you will see hot pools and steam vents along the way, at the top there is a crater lake, the views are unforgetable, the coast of Mindanao to the south and the Visayas to the north.
One of Camaguins most popular attractions is White Island, which is not really an island at all, more an extended sand bar that is only visible at low tide, approach is made by banca, a very short hop from the local resorts. Situated between Mambajao and Bonbon the sea and views are beautiful, but there is no shade. so be careful.

I recently spent some time in Sabang and wanted to share this experience with all of you.

Although there are 5 gogo bars in Sabang alone, they are really not that good for the mongering experience. Here is some of the highlights (lowlights) as to why:

The ladies drinks are 200 - 250 pesos each: Mamasans are very pushy. The minute you say hello to a girl, the mamasan will come up to you and say "you must buy her a ladies drink!" and be very pushy about it. They even try to get you to buy them ladies drinks as well. This was especially true of the Broadway Disco. Not a nice place.

Barfines: expect to pay 1000 pesos for the barfine AND 1000 for the girl.

I barfined a girl from Broadway. Her name is Laya and I want you all to be aware of this girl. She will flirt endlessly with you and show you her tonguestud and wiggle her eyebrows a lot. But after you barfine her, she wants to go to all the other bars till all hours of the morning spending more money, introducing you to her other friends (who expect you to buy a ladies drink for them too). Then (surprise surprise) she is very tired by the time she gets back to your room.

She doesn't want to shower. She takes off her clothes and wants you to go down on her...longer and longer and longer, and when you try to get her to give you a bj, she doesn't want to, even though she's been nodding her head all night about it and playing with her tonguestud, swirling it around her lips. anything you get will be substandard with hesitation and complaining.

Now the scary part...as she is finally relenting into letting you (!) have full service - covered, she reaches around and pinches your member so that it hurts like hell. It spoils the mood completely and then she wants to go to sleep. I finally kicked her out. In my case, I found out after she left, that her pinch actually resulted in breaking the skin. I was bleeding slightly on the underside of my dick close to my urinary opening.

Stay away from Laya and the Broadway Disco in Sabang.

well gentlemen the spamhog is up to his old tricks again, catting around in strange cities with even stranger women, thought I would clue some of you into CDO city which has been mentioned here from time to time, I think Good enough actually worked in this place years ago and he mentioned the untapped (pun intended) resources of the hairy triangle variety that abound in this city.
I was treated to a world class tour of the underbelly by a former flame who I recently contacted again after telling her I would be in town for a few days shall we reminince about old times and can you still suck a golf ball through a garden hose? (Yes to both).

Lets call her Sweetie, 30 Years old, never had a kid and tight, wet and willing describes her. Sweetie has a bit of a local history and she and I go way back, having done a "double header" for me years ago, sweetie performs best with a few beers in her and if memory serves me well a glass of red wine puts her in the mood immediately. Sweetie took me on a tour of various clubs and nite spots she loves, everybody knew her and the waiters and bartenders gave us a good table and immediate service wherever we went.
First stop was excite night club on a friday night. Lots of people dancing and carrying on, problem is nobody shows up until 10 PM a few single ladies but mostly couples. Only one other foreigner in the crowd with what looked like his pen pal, a few single ladies dancing seductively and giving me the hot eye when I lead her out to the floor for a little ass shaking, Sweetie latched on to my arm to make sure all the girls understoood this was her exclusive property and any other ***** would get a beer bottle in the face for poaching her piece of meat for the night.

We left at midnight with sweetie half drunk and horney as hell, I asked about another bar we passed near an all night eatery but sweetie said "too many low class ***** in there" cant remember the name. After a night of erotic extravagance involving many variations of the Kama sutra we slept until noon, woke up, screwed all afternoon and ventured out to the swiss deli for early dinner late lunch. Close by I saw a sign on a bar "Late night sexy grind contest" that was it, I decided sweetie had a pretty good grind and told her we were going there tonight.

Wearing her shortest skirt, Sweetie and I arrive at Club Mojo and enter through Ralfs sports bar, actually, this is not a bad little bar, a bit upscale. Inside, the place is packed, sweetie knows every body and anybody, introduces me all around (Hi, Im the big stupid looking American fucking sweetie this weekend, nice to meet you!)

Sweetie starts in on the San MIg and tells me a lot about this place and CDO city in general. Sweetie claims that there are an over abundance of available women in CDO for some reason and all the girls are looking for a "Foreigner" boyfriend/husband/walking ATM machine with a dick. She is annoyed at all the "Bitches" giving me the eye and openly flirting with me. She explains that "Boyfriend stealers" are everywhere and she vows to fight off anyone who gets too bold. Sweetie says problem in this place is "too many cheap Bitches who fuck for P500" (lowering the prices no doubt) She also points out the lesian contingent, a group of about twenty or so "T birds" both manish looking dykes and pretty feminine types all dancing together at there regular table. Sweetie also says there are many "Byots and tomboys" in CDO and they are open about it.

The sexy grind contest lasts about half an hour with each young lady grinding her way to stardom in the dark smoky club, despite my encouragement and many San Mig down her throat, Sweetie will not enter. About midnight we leave again and the streets are filled with revelers.

Friday and saturday night they block off the main street, set up tents, sell beer, have a band playing it looks like a block party, sweetie and I dash into a Chow King and three strange shapes loom in the shadows. One is a tall Byot with very long hair in a silk shirt, he and sweetie greet each other like old friends. The byot looks me over and smiles, two transvestites come out of the deeper recesses, these were almost bangkok style "ladyboys" very well dressed and from across the street you woul mistake them for real women, up close...welll I dont think Id ever be that drunk.

Sweetie explains that the Bayot is a Bogow (Pimp) for the other two (as if I needed that confirmation!) they are looking for drunk foreigners, she claims they will deliver their services and are not rip offs or theives like some TV's.
But I thought I would post this as a warning, I could see some poor bastard drunk making a terrible mistake.

On the way back to the hotel sweetie takes me past "Bada bing" a nightclub where you can barfine. She says she would go in with me to see if some of her friends are working but women are not allowed in there regardless unless they are working...keeps out the angry wives and girlfriends. Across the street however is On Tec, where she knows the manager, sweetie drags me in and sits me down for the floor show which is mainly "uba uba" dancing (semi naked) a few girls come out, dance and strip down to their panties. One or two flash me the beaver. Sweetie is liquored up enough not to mind and I ask her if we can take one of her "friends" back to the hotel room for a double...she hesitates a minute and says none of these girls will do that.

It was the wrong thing to say, coz now sweetie got an attitude and we walk back to the hotel room in a hushed demeanor. Sweetie claims to be too drunk to fuck, wont take a shower and falls on the bed I lift up her skirt depants her and go to work, shes pissed and sometimes a pissed off drunken fuck can be the best in the world.

I leave CDO the next morning bound for Cebu and out of the country for a few days. But I have to admidt that I enjoyed myself for the brief time I spent in CDO. I saw very few foreigners there, most I saw were accompanied by a lady, most places and bars I went, I was the only white guy, despite that, people were very nice and no problems.

Hotels run about P800 for a "delux" which means the cockroaches put on a floorshow and you get toilet paper and a double bed...two singles pushed together. Everything else is cheap, real cheap.

enjoy

Arrived to Sabang using the SIKAT Bus from the City State Tower hotel on Mabini st. in Ermita.The Bus departs at 9:00 am daily.The R/t ticket cost 1200PhP.Upon arriving to Batangas port,you connect with a big outrigger boat,which takes you directly to Sabang.The one we took was named the Blue Pinguin.The whole trip takes around 4-5 hours.

Checked in at the Big Apple Dive Resort.My girlfriend and I stayed in a big room,with fridge,Aircon,TV, two double beds.Damage=1600PhP per nite.This hotel is centrally located,and is within walking distance of all the nightly attractions,bars,and restaurants.It has a nice swimming pool,two pool tables,24-hours bar,decent food,friendly staff,and the receptionist Rebecca,who is a very helpful and attentive.There are 4 go-go places in town.Sabang disco,Philippine Village Disco,Sunset Disco,and a fourth one which I cannot recall the name.I found the quality/looks of the girls superior to those of Angeles.

I did not BF any of the girls,as I had my GF with me.I did though,had fun at the clubs,while my GF was waiting for me in the room.Needless to say,my GF from Leyte,kept me happy for four days/nights.She is a wonderful lady,and I believe I had the most beautiful girl in Sabang.Totally GFE.,and as they call them in this forum,a freebe.

Last,I will recommend Eddie's place for a meal. I had sissiling gambas,and sissiling seafood plate.They were very good.Another good dish was the beef kaldereta.Order a Red Horse beer,which is stronger than the San Miguel,and enjoy your meal.

Life is good,

Spamhog, loved your CDO trip report.

I spent two nights in CDO in March.

I arrived in CDO with a list of ladies I had met online. Some were from CDO and some were from Iligan, which is two hours away. Generally I don’t make any promises and don’t tell them when I’m coming. In retrospect, it’s probably better to get ladies warmed up a bit more before arrival.

As for my first choice, I texted her from Cebu saying I was in Cebu. I didn’t tell her that I had scheduled a flight the next day for CDO. She responded with a testy text about how I should enjoy the girls in Cebu. Hmm, overly sensitive and judgemental. I scratched her from the list.

Another option was in Iligan and looked really hot on cam. I was a bit wary though because sometimes this “student” was online at 2am. She said she was a computer programming student and was working on computer projects late into the night, but I had my doubts. When I called she was apparently at home with a bunch of friends. Sounded like a large group of ladies…unfortunately this never worked out. She said she had no money for the trip. I said I’d be happy to reimburse her after she arrived. Then she wanted to bring a friend. I just let it go and eventually she texted asking me for load. I guess she spent so much money at Net Cafes she had no money left for other things.

The girl I eventually met the first day was tall and slim. She was attractive, but nothing exceptional. Unfortunately she was a bore. First I suggested we meet at Bo’s Coffee (the Starbucks of the Visayans). There is only one Bo’s in CDO. She didn’t know where it was. When we met I asked about beaches, but she knew nothing. Couldn’t swim either. I asked her about restaurants. She said the restaurant she liked was Jollibee. Later she talked a bit about her friend and I suggested we could meet the friend. The friend’s home was a long jeepney ride away. I suggested that she text the friend and let her know that a foreign guy would soon be showing up at her door. “Not necessary”. Well, we get to the friend’s house at 2pm in the afternoon and friend is upstairs sleeping. Duh! So, hang out for a while as friend showers and gets ready. Friend lives in a large, but very simple home. The toilet and shower (faucet and a bucket) are outside.

The three of us go to the floating restaurant in the late afternoon, mostly for a drink. No customers a bit of a bore. It might be more interesting in the evening. We end up at my room and the friend (bless her soul) is pushing my “date” to get closer, get in bed with me. My “date” does lean on me, but when I try to hold her, or touch her, she pushes me away. Eventually, I tell them I’m tired and want to nap. End of date.

The next day this girl texts me a good morning message. I decide I’ll try something different and contact someone else on my list. Day Two’s date meets me in the lobby of the hotel and when I suggest coffee at Bo’s, she says, “Oh, I love Bo’s”. This girl is mid-twenties, much cuter than her online picture indicated, but still a student. There are also several signs which indicate she’s middle class, maybe upper middle class. When I ask about things to do in CDO, she has answers. When she mentions “beach” I jokingly say, “Let’s go.” She says, “yes.” So, thirty minutes after meeting we’re in a taxi on the way to a beach resort she knows of. Things are going so much better than the previous day’s date and they quickly get better in the taxi. She’s touching me and hitting me when I tease her. Yeah, she initiates physical contact…if I play it cool I know where that ends up…

We end up at some resort, which is past a place called Coconut resort, which is listed in Lonely Planet. First thing I notice is that the restaurant bar area has a GRO help wanted ad posted. Might be interesting to come out in the evening. Unfortunately, I don’t remember the name and it is quite a way out of town. The taxi driver asked for 300 pesos. We called him later on when we wanted a ride back into town….another 300 pesos. On the way we pass a place called “The Site” which GE has described before.

The beach “resort” itself was nice especially since we were the only customers. There were picnic tables and a ping pong table. There was a little row boat there and we took it out for a bit. As the afternoon wore on there was some light touching and kissing. I was the one to initiate, but also the one to stop…I wanted to keep the sexual tension high.

We left the resort shortly after sunset and ate in town. We then went back to my room. I was a bit too bloated after eating to initiate any bedroom acrobatics so I kept things casual. Mostly we chatted…this girl was a talker. Eventually she picks up her bag and says she has to go. I give her a goodbye kiss, but this time there is no way I’ll be the first to stop. Very quickly there is tongue action and heavy breathing. When I bring my hand up from her waist to her breast ….she drops her bag and stiffens…and suddenly seems transformed. She turns into a wildcat! I can’t remember being with a girl who enjoyed sex as much as this one. The session ends doggy style with me leaving my load on her ass. She reaches around and rubs my cum all over her butt like it’s lotion. Damn! Unfortunately, she can’t spend the night.

After she leaves I go for a walk. I find the place Spamhog has described before “bada bing”. It’s mostly Pinoy customers with one table of East Asians. There are some good-looking women, but only one dancer at a time. At least one dancer got completely nude. I didn’t stay very long.

There was one other lady I texted in CDO and she was keen to meet me, but obviously I was preoccupied. The morning of my departure she texts me asking me when my flight is. I’m thinking she wants to meet before I leave, but I tell her I have an early flight and will leave for the airport in 30 minutes. “Maybe next time”. I get to the airport and this girl is waiting for me. Only 21, 5’2, very slim, but breasty. Cute as a button with jet black hair down to her waist. She was wearing a short skirt and also showing some belly as is the fashion these days. I checked in, then exited the airport and sat with her for twenty minutes in one of the little restaurants outside the airport. Obviously I’m surprised and more than a little pleased. I was tempted to stay another day, but already had appointments set up in Cebu for later that day. Anyway, I kissed her right there in the restaurant ten minutes after meeting her. She didn’t resist, but looked a little embarrassed.

As we say goodbye I try to give her money for the taxi. She refuses. Turns out she has a sister overseas and she has spending money. Later she texts me to say that next time I visit the Philippines she will meet me and “stay with me”. Hmmm, sound like an offer I can’t refuse.

In the airport, things are running a little late and I’m not sure if I’m in the right place. I ask a woman (thirtyish) if she’s also on her way to Cebu. She answers and then says, “BTW, I couldn’t help overhearing you live in xxxville”. Huh? Turns out she was in the restaurant and overheard me talking to the little cuty. Wow, small world. This lady has an ex husband in xxxville and expects to travel there (here) in the near future. We exchange emails. Life is good.

My previous post was about women. This is just general info.

I flew in from Cebu using Asian Spirit. Try to get a seat on the left side and you'll get a good view of CDO as you come in for landing. The airport is a small rinky dink place. Keep an eye on your bags. As someone said earlier the taxi should be about 120 pesos into town if you use the meter. I shared the ride with a guy I met on the plane and we paid 100 each. The taxi took us over the “new” bridge which seemed to have some nice restaurants overlooking the river. I never made it back to this area so not sure about that. In town, near the old bridge, are a few floating restaurants. I had a light meal and beer at one of them and wasn’t particularly impressed. I was there before sunset and there were few other customers. Might be better to see what’s happening in the evening.

I stayed at the Dynasty at 2000 pesos a night. My room was nice but facing the disco so it was noisy. It wasn’t too much of a problem for me because both nights I retired late after a few beers. The breakfast buffest was a bit disappointing. I like the breakfast buffet at Holiday Plaza in Cebu (Ramos Ave.) One of the receptionists at the Dynasty is 5’9, pretty rare for a Filipina. Another, cute and wearing braces is apparently engaged.

GE and Mahku (and others?) have given good reports in the past. I found the Italian restaurant that someone had recommended and found it excellent. Great place for a date. I think it was GE that recommended “the site” which is a little way out of town. I went past this, had already eaten and didn’t stop. It certainly looked interesting. Wish I had longer vacations!

My second day I hit the beach with a date (met online), but the water wasn’t very pleasant. I think the best option is to get out to Camiguin Island. I think you can fly there directly from Cebu. Trying to get there by boat from CDO involves getting a ride out of town. Not sure of the details.

As someone mentioned before it is relatively clean and safe. I really hated the taxis though. As in most Philippine cities many taxis will beep their horn at foreigners. I guess they assume foreigners don’t know what taxis look like and don’t know how to wave a taxi down. So they make this extra effort for our benefit. So kind of them. Now, in large noisy cities like Manila and Cebu this is usually a minor irritant. But in CDO where the roads are narrower, the streets are quieter, I found myself getting really pissed off. I don’t need every other car passing me to blast its horn at me. I made it a point not to take taxis that did this to me. I also got in the habit of just staring at the offender. We’d make eye contact…they’d slow down, sometimes coming to a complete stop…I’d give them my best look of contempt and continue on my way. Walking is good exercise.

Atached is a picture of Gaston Park which is in the south part of town, one block from Dynasty Hotel and very near the "old bridge". There was a bunch of girls giggling and flashing me some friendly smiles here, but they were probably high school age. I also went to the church (both pics) which makes great use of natural light and air. If you go to CDO and do as I did, you will most certainly need to confess a few sins.

X

I think I was the one who recommended this place, which is about a 1 minute walk from the Dynasty Hotel. I loved it the first couple of times I was there. However, when I went back a couple of weeks ago, the food was virtually inedible. Maybe it was an off night, or maybe the place has changed cooks, but it truly sucked.

:D

GE

Pals,

This City must have changed. I visited here twice a few years ago. Fucked two different, regular women there but was not too impressed with the place. I stayed once in 1999 at the Dynasty hotel and hated it. Tried two other Hotels and did not like either of them. Nightlife sucked back then. I do remember a Bar across from the one Hotel where the waiters/waitresses wore Hard hats like a construction crew. I was there around 01:00AM.

Perhaps I shoud make another Trip now. Davao was not much in 1996-2000 during my first ten trips there. I just kept going back because I always met/fucked some awesome, young pussy.

Hi,

I'm a newbie & joined a few days ago. I am coming to retire in the Philippines later this year. I want to travel to several towns to see if I want to settle down there.

Question is: What are the night life and sex opportunities like in smaller cities such as Bacolod, Ormoc, Naga, Iloilo, Legaspi and the like.

Any views or info would be much appreciated.

Gary

excuse my ignorance but what does CDO stand for. Is that an airline code for somewhere?

[QUOTE=Asiafloyd]excuse my ignorance but what does CDO stand for. Is that an airline code for somewhere?[/QUOTE]

CDO is short for Cagayan de Oro. It's a city on Mindanao. It's not completely correct but you can say its in the northern part of Mindanao.

I’ve been in Boracay for the last 6 nights with my gal from Manila who had the week off. It was very crowded with many of the hotels sold out however it was not nearly as bad as any island in Hawaii. Since Sunday most of the people left to go back to work so this would be a great time to start your vacation here. There are people from many countries here with the exception of the fact I never saw any Arabs, Jewish people or Africans. In other words it’s been a very enjoyable vacation. On a few occasions we would see a throng of people following and gawking at what turned out to be a movie star on Philippine television.

As reported before you really need to bring your own talent here since the pickings are very slim however I was hit on by a lady during a time I was by myself enjoying a drink at the bar. She was about a 7. She was a local girl looking for some extra cash. I wish I could have done her but had no place to take her since my gal was in our room.

Comingtocebu sir, no need to go to Iloilo. One poster on another forum called it dark and I concur. Not a good mongering destination either. It is a fly over city.

I'm interested if anyone has any info on Eagle Point Resort and the surrounding area located in Batangas. Plan on spending a few nights there with my honeyko in July. Any info would be helpful.

Yella Man[/QUOTE]There is nothing around eagle point for at least a 20 minute drive,It is a complete Dive Resort,But Surrounded by Countryside,Yes In fact one of my staff used to work there and boredom was their enemy Cheers

Cebu Local,

Thanks for the tip. I guess me and my Honeyko will be getting real familiar with each other then. A Secluded Beach Resort with my favorite Honeyko. There's nothing boring about that, eh? I'm sure I'll survive somehow.

I visited Sabang Bay in November 2005. Good place for diving and 4 discos with nice girls. No farang needs to sleep alone in Sabang...
A couple of kilometers from Sabang, close to Puerto Galera is a place called White Beach or so? There were no discos but one was supposed to open in December 2005, with girls to invite to your hotel if you would like...
Has anyone tested this place?

[QUOTE=ComingToCebu]Hi,

IQuestion is: What are the night life and sex opportunities like in smaller cities such as Bacolod, Ormoc, Naga, Iloilo, Legaspi and the like.

Gary[/QUOTE]

I don't have any personal experience (yet) in any of those you've mentioned, however I can tell you that three of my Pinoy brothers-in-law have guaranteed to ensure we're gonna have one wonderful time when our long-planned visit to a couple of those provincial cities finally happens later this year, and I have absolutely no doubt as to their knowledge of such.

I do however have a few experiences outside of Metro Manila (since I live outside of there these days).
For example, I was recently introduced to a nice, secure, out-of-the-way place in a subdivision off the "strip" in Imus. "Introduced" is the proper word to emphasize, I wouldn't suggest going there as a foreigner without a Pinoy relative the first time. Of course after that, once they know you and that you're a good dude, walang problema. The room is P130, and the girl will set you back (fixed price) P500. Lots to choose from if you go after 7 or 8pm. My first choice was 19, very yummy, very enthusiastic, and quite new to the experience. This is a place where new girls show up all the time that happen to need a little bit of money. So fine, tip the mamasan 100pesos and buy the old dude a beer. You still have lots of spare change from 1000. Bring 3000 and treat your relatives!

Don't bother going before 6pm. They will find you a cute girl, but my experience with that second time in the afternoon was less than fulfilling. Unlike the 19-year old who wanted more and more and more after I was way done, the afternoon girl insisted that I was done when she was done.

My 3rd visit was evening, having learned my previous afternoon lesson, and I asked mamasan to go fetch Girl #1, which she did. While waiting, two other nice girls stopped in (they don't work there) just to see if anyone was worth meeting. One of them insisted I come and talk to them, and really wanted me to take her out somewhere then and there. I had to inform her that I made a promise to wait for someone (girl #1), so she entered her cell# into my SIM while still trying to get me "now". Girl 1 showed up after an hour and a half and made my promise to wait for her well worth waiting for; I gave her an extra 100 that she wasn't expecting.

Three weeks passed, and the girl who wanted me "now" had no time off work (factory job), then suddenly her best friend txt'd me after getting my number. So, ok, I met her and wow! 23 and knows what's she's doing but isn't over-used. Nice gf for the next two months until her pinoy bf shows up, so that situation is on hold. Meanwhile a couple of weeks ago the first girl (not girl #1 but yes also 19) finally gets a chance to go out with me. Puts her best friend to shame in bed, and that's some statement! No kids, only one bf before me .... so I'm waiting for her to get back from the province now. Yes, of course she "loves" me too.

Meanwhile, unrelated to this place and story, another friend from before txts me a couple of hours ago and apologizes for being stupid (her words), misses me and wants me back. I txt'd back "what if I don't have any money", and her answer was "I miss you and just want to see you and be with you". So ok, when I can manage it I'll txt her. Meanwhile, not much chance for me to get out the next little while; time to be the good asawa at home.

Yes, I know the above is an off-the-cuff ramble, but the point is that there are many many opportunities outside of metro manila, and typically you get better quality for a lot less money and typically one very happy girl out of the deal.

Sorry I can't give you the name of this place, but if there's one there are many such anywhere. Just ask your male relatives - they know where to take you, especially if you're prepared to treat them at minimal expense. If you can't bring your wife's brother to translate for you then bring your own Tagalog ability; you will need one or the other, preferably both. Both is a virtual guarantee that you will be treated well and very welcome anytime thereafter, with relatives or for a quick solo trist.

One additional side note about little hidden resorts - I see that most of the local small swimming "resorts" seem to all have a place you can rent if you happen to have a need to get intimate with someone you take there, or someone you might happen to pick up on the way in or while inside.

I'm deliberately making this a seperate posting rather than just tacking it onto my previous.

If you know what you're doing and you *have* Pinoys you can explicitly trust with you to go to places such as I've mentioned, great, go for it. If you lack the proper, and I mean PROPER implicitly trusted *male* escort entourage, then pay the ridiculous shot and stick to tourist places, which is NOT what I've been writing about tonight. If you've been here a day and a half, don't even dream about going where I might go and those are places I wouldnt' go first time alone!

"In-house" security works for you when they know you know how things work. If "they" have any doubt, that same "security" can just as easily be used to turn you into spare body parts to be sold off at a discount.

Let me give you an example. Long before I was introduced to the place I just reported on, a couple of years ago we (yes, btothers-in-law plus me) went to a bar along the Imus strip because one of my bayou wanted to see his new (stripper) gf again. So fine, he had a bunch of money and we had an excuse to be home late by 3 hours. Other than his gf-wannabe, we didn't really have any friends in the club she was working in. He dropped about $8000 pesos in 3 hours for what I consider *nothing* for any of us, and when some local half-drunk police started eyeing us (meaning me the obvious foreigner) it was time to quietly leave, discretely and fast.

A couple of years later, aking bayou still has that gf, and I still have all my body parts, but only because we were paying attention and knew when we should be SOMEWHERE ELSE.

Imus, in the direction of Island Cove (but _not_ Island Cove - I haven't had a chance to check that out yet, the latter is rather up-scale so I don't expect the same there, but hey, you never know, di ba?). Once you get as far as SM Bacoor, we're only a few minutes away from the place. I don't get to Dasma much other than passing through, so I don't know what's there, yet. If I ever get a chance to roam around Dasma, I already have 4 (different) yummy friends who would love to have me "drop in" and meet the family (in some cases _again_). Seems a lot of them live in Dasma, though yeah, Dasma is a fairly big place.

As for Imus, I was hoping you'd catch my txt back to you earler tonight, if you see this in time and you're still in my neighbourhood, siguro we can hook up gabi bukas. Sempre ganda yo kasi marunong Tagalog ko. Txt me safely about it.

QUOTE]I know the feeling. My house in Bataan, Dinalupihan, and I party there, with my Filipino brother-in-law.

My last trip, March 06, was the first time that a local said something to me in a bar upon entering. We instantly turned around, with the owner (female) chasing us begging us to stay, but I told her that it was okay. I have been there many times and she knew that I would spend a couple thousand pesos. He is local and I am not. He ran to my van and said that he was sorry and to come back in. But I am smart enought to lay low and we moved on to the next bar.

Went back next night, no problems and lucky for me I met a new girl (19), first night in the bar. Her sister (brother...lol) was the waitress. She didn't have a cell phone, so I went the next day and brought her one for 1500P and took it to her and next thing I know we are in the ST hotel and she showed her appreciation. I kept her a week and wish I didn't have to leave her. Real GFE and true sweetheart.

I always sit with my back to the door, never get drunk, (brother-in-law doesn't drink) and give him my money before hand so he can pay. I never flash money.

Out of 25 bars there, I am the first american that most have ever been with.

Right, and I believe that. I myself like to sit to the side so that I can see both incoming and inside activity. Just a habit. :-) Yes, if in doubt I pass my cash & cellfone to a bayou many times (unless of course I'm alone). Unlike North America, I can trust my Pinoy brothers-in-law. I do drink but know when to slow down depending on the situtation.
[QUOTE=Robbaf]I never flash money.[/QUOTE]

If alone sometimes I don't have enough cash because I NEVER take more than I'm prepared to lose. I can always find a way to deal with being poor here, it's expected once "they" understand that I LIVE here. For example, one totally unplanned situation "may dalawang bayau" had me treating them to girls and I underestimated the cost of gas and beers. Once in the room with my girl, I just told the dude to see if anyone of them had the needed 40 pesos. I don't know if anyone did, but life was good for all of us, snce I know that *they* know that I (foreigner) bring them lots of (Pinoy) business. Pesos are pesos and casas sometimes look beyond the immediate minute if they know who puts money into their pocket. Sempre this isn't a first-time visit!

All this reminds me of another occasion - a girl wants to go bar hopping, so ok when I'm down on cash I hand her *all* the rest and tell her to pay for things. What's funny is that she wound up with all that cash since the floor manager that night was also a friend of mine, and yes I knew that before making that ploy. It just happened to work out fine that night, but I was close enough to walk home if I had to and likely could have been escourted if I had asked. That's me though, don't push your luck unless you have the same local Pinoy friends right there at hand.

Yes, I sincerely wish I could get away for a week like you did, even a DAY would be great!

thought i would add my 2 cents on boracay as i've seen lots of inquiries from the brethern on this world famous vacation spot. was in boracay 5 yrs ago approx, just went there with my ever-loving for a few days. things have changed a good bit, for one thing there are more hotels to choose from, more resturaunts catering to american/western style food (including the manila famous hobbit house which has taken on an irish theme, serving guiness and some great mixed drinks!) but the prices are rather high for rooms, even in this the off season.

anyhow as the mongering public will tell you, byob ie bring your own babe, booty, bimbo...whatever. there is not much of a selection on the island. there are some tactical and practical reasons for this, first off, there are not that many indigineous locals, most of the folks who live on the island are from decent families or they have enough money to live there and dont have to scrounge around in bars trying to pick up overweight middle aged foreigners to buy rice. second reason is the cost of getting to the island, saw a lot of local guys who were used as cheap labor by construction outfits. they were bitching about the p50 ferry ride to get back to whatever home port or nearby island they come from, very doubtful a lot of local ladies can scrape together the pesos to come to the island for a night, then if they do they are stuck there, rooms dont come cheap if some obliging fellow doesnn't pick them up.

next reason is the ratio of horny lads to lasses. went bar hopping with my lady and in each place i practically had to haul out my razor sharp katana to keep the wolves at bay, every time i went to the cr i had some swain winking and smiling, the worst are my fellow americans, mostly dumb ass twenty two year olds in asia on daddys trust fund and dont know shit but next in line are the geeky looking koreans who doen't understand english as in "motherfucker...thats my wife, git!" more on this later.

went to the famed cocomangas shooter bar and the place was the best act in town. mostly pinoys, very low rent, however, this is the place i advise any lone males to check out. around about 11pm the place filled up with ladies, all of whom were doing the reverse of the loverboys in the more upscale bars.
my lady run 'em off with the tiger look but lots of twenty something's flirting and dancing, wiggling little borwn asses in front of you. saw a few would be pros "patroling" walking around looking for foreigners drinking alone, most of trhe guys there were more interested in the cheap beer and mixed drinks than the women, can;t say i blame them, some of the girls were down right ugly. next post part 2 i will give you some more details and more overall acessment, stay tuned.

It does? Great and thanks for the info! I don't know if I'll ever get to Boracay but we do get to Metro Manila periodically. After a few years I NEED a Guiness fix, so next time I wander by the Hobit House on Mabini just north of Remedios "may aking aswaw" and she mentions we never yet tried the place, I'll so "ok, now is good, lets do it". While extremely tiny people don't atrract me ... GUINESS? I'lll pay the tourist price for a mug or 2. Absolutely!

Thanks Spam Hog. I plan to go there and BMOB and you comfirm that it's a good idea to do it that way.

My last trip there was 10 years ago and it was the same then. There were a few stray working girls around but not much selection. One may have a chance with Japanese or Korean tourist girls though. Also, the usual FWC brigade that any international resort has are there in force.

I actually stayed at Cocomangas back then. At the time it was one of the nicer places. But I suppose by now it's been passed up by new development.

I have something to add. Borocay is shaped like a dumbell, with the center being only about a kilometer or two wide. I rented a bicycle and rode from the main tourist area (around boat station 2) to the other side. There is a beach there with far fewer people, less tourist spots, fewer boats, and less clean. Worth a trip. I rode both south and north on the beach and found an area of people living in poverty. Apparently, they are indigenous. They are also apparently oppressed. Someone is trying to get them to leave, calling them squatters, with the express purpose of taking their land for development. Not all the people of Borocay are well off.

X, Sounds like pretty much on the mark, the impressions I got were from my ever loving who was talking to a few of the locals, it seems that a lot of male laborers were imported from the local islands during the construction boom, of course sometimes accompanied by asawa's who began selling cocnuts, baked goods or doing manicurista work for the rich touristas, lots of these folks stayed on or hung around the partially finished buildings as is a common practise here. We also talked to concessionaires from Cebuanao and Palawan, general impression was that they were camping out on the beach or living in squatter areas and going back "home" during the slow periods. But of course the social divisions take over and well off and "connected" pinoys are usually the ones who own the big businesses and are building the big time houses on the island.

Yeah Guiness!, they also make some excellent mixed drinks, Mrs spamhog had a Pina Colada and a tequila sunrise which they did pretty well, I could actually taste the booze. Very friendly staff, some of the "nano" (dwarfs) were imported from Manila. They also played the video of "riverdance" on the big screen at my request and demonstrated some Irish step dancing, food was good (Steak, mashed potatoes) nice atmospehre. Had a live singer on a guitar, cute little lady from Manila singing some great oldies.

Also suggets you check out "hey Jude" which is a combination resturaunt Hotel with a beach view, they had the big screen up right on the beach for the Germany vs ???? soccer game that night, great food, also Good singapore sling.

Cocomangas was giving some good rates plus I like the "native" style rooms and huts with the front porch which is why I stayed there. We practiically had the place to ourselves. I would check out the "red cocoanut", we said if we return we would stat there, more like a conventional hotel with a pool and a GREAT outdoor resturaunt/beahc bar.

I noticed SCADS of Korean tourists, we counted twenty getting off the plane from Manila when we left. Seems as the tour people were targeting the Koreans for the off season. Most were couples, but single males, groups of males far outnumbered the couples, these guys are horny as hell too, will hit on your squeeze as soon as you turn your head! Im gonna write part 2 about some funny things that happened involving thse guys but I saw only a few groups unaccompanied females, it seems they never do anything alone but in twos and threes just like Japanese, can make it a bit harder to thin one out of the herd but a guy of your experience might have a shot...our dime is on you!

For that trip back then I had a wing man and that's how we worked on the girls in pairs. There was one Japanese pair and one Korean. Even if one girl doesn't want to do anything she can be kept company while the other guy and the more 'up for it girl' can go do their thing.

For this trip I may or may not bring my own. If not hopefully my Aussie pal from the UAE will make a good hunting teammate.

Having a WINGMAN is DEFINITELY SOP for Korean/JAP gals where ever ye may be. In Bali it was the only logical plan of attack but it is also a good idea to have a few fellow mongers in contact for places like the Sunflower in Cebu, lots of Filipinas travel in packs as well.

You might be able to score in Boracay going solo IF you go to Cocomangas shooters bar after 11 PM Loads of local talent but I would rate most of these girls...well...not so high, maybe it was because it was so dark and smokey, maybe because some of them seemed half fried on tanduay or maybe because Mrs Spamhog was giving all loose females in general the bad eye & they returned the dragon look but I saw many what I beleived were freelancers wandering around and dancing. Some of these girls were openly flirting, many were plainly offering themselves to whatever lone or unattached males were present, be it Filipino (older rich looking guys) Koreans and of course really trying to get chummy with any fat faced white guy like myself.

I have no idea of price or quality of services rendered as mere research inquiries would have been suicidal given the mood of the mrs. but it seems that this is the place to pick up a bed mate for the evening. I plan to include some detaikls if I ever get around to writing part 2 of my story naming locations and rating them etc.

My trip report begins on P. Burgos St., in Makati on 30 June. I booked a room at the Great Eastern Hotel ([url]www.greateasternhotelmanila.com[/url]) on Makati Ave at Peso 2100 for a Deluxe room. The hotel lobby is on the fourth floor, so for security reasons you always have to stop and change elevators on the fourth floor before going up to your room. The Hotel Staff seemed girl friendly enough because I had no problems taking my shorty up to my room later that evening. After I checked in around 2PM, I took a quick shower and hit the streets. I knew it was early, but I had to Check-out at Midnight and run across town to see my GF who was already checked-in at Paco Park Oasis Hotel.

First stop, 7/11 to load my cell. They didn’t have any loads for Talk N Text Sim cards, so I transferred the information from my contacts on my Talk N Text Sim to my Phone memory, and purchased a Globe Sim and 300 Peso load and was ready to roll.

The first club I hit was Bottoms. The selection of ladies there was pretty good so I decided to hangout and enjoy Happy Hour. I bought the girls several rounds of drinks at Peso 130 per Lady Drink. After talking to most of the ladies for about an hour, I told them I wanted to choose three to hit the VIP room with. I already had my mind made up about my first choice…a spinner named Cindy. She was a cute little thing that would spin well once I had her on top me doin’ the nasty. I continued to play with the girls tits and ass until I selected the other two, then I called Mamasan. Mamasan wanted 3000 Pesos per girl but excepted 2000. I probably could have gotten her lower, but hell…I was there to have fun, right? So I excepted the fee and headed for the VIP room with my three ladies.

The VIP room is a good choice if you are limited on time and want to have some quick fun with multiple ladies. Each of the girls took turns giving me bbbj’s as I continued to play with their tits, and pussy’s. I blew my load after a half hour of unbelievable BJ action. I probably could have gotten laid in the VIP room, but Cindy was turning me on so much I decided to BF her and take her to the room for a few sessions.

I called Mamasan again and asked about the BF. Peso 2000 and Spinner was all mine. I paid the tab as Cindy got dressed. I spent a total of 10,500 Pesos for for my three Double shots of Johnny Walker Black, three rounds of Ladies Drinks for all the girls, the use of the VIP room with three girls and Cindy’s BF. Nothing compared to what I would have spent at home in Korea for the same type service.

So off Cindy and I go to my hotel for a romp or two in the sack. After showers we go at it hot and heavy right away. For a girl with such a small stature, she warmed up quite nicely to everything I threw at her. She especially liked the DATY. Two sessions later we showered, dressed and headed back to Bottoms. I was supposed to meet a friend there for drinks around 7PM. It was after 9PM when we walked in the door and there was no sign of my friend, so I gave the other two girls who were in the VIP room with me tips, kissed Cindy and headed for the door.

I walked up the street to Ringside and ordered a beer. I wasn’t at all impressed with their line-up. They didn’t come close to the looks of the girls at Bottoms. After some idle conversation with a few of the girls, I paid my tab and left. I went back to the hotel, packed my stuff, paid my bill and caught a taxi across town to Paco Park Oasis Hotel ([url]http://www.parkoasis.com/[/url]) where my GF was waiting. I arrived close to 11PM and checked in. Cost of the room was Peso 3900 for the Gold Room. It was decorated really nice and It had a large Jacuzzi in the bathroom. But like some places in the Philippines, the water smelled bad. If it weren’t for the water, I would recommend this hotel. My girl and I just couldn’t get over the smell of the water. It was that strong.

We checked-out the next morning and caught a taxi to the City State Tower hotel on Mabini St. in Ermita where we paid for two tickets for the Si-Kat bus that runs to Batangas Port at 8AM every morning. Ticket cost was around Peso 400 each. We arrived at the port at 10AM and paid a driver 1600 Pesos to drive us to Eagle Point Resort, one and a half hours away.

We arrived at Eagle Point Resort ([url]www.eaglepoint.com.ph[/url]) close to noon. Now if you want a resort that is secluded where you and your honey-ko can snuggle-up and enjoy each others company with no large crowds, then this is the place. I booked a cottage overlooking the ocean for two nights. My honey-ko and I even made love on the balcony overlooking the ocean. It’s a very romantic place to take a lady. The food was good and the wine selection ok. We did some Jet Ski action the next day, and Island hopped a bit out to Sepoc Island. That’s when the Captain of our boat pointed out Peurto Galera in the distance to us. So the honey-ko and I made a change of plans. Instead of staying at Eagle Point for another night, we talked the Captain into taking us to Peurto Galera that afternoon after we checked out. 4000 Pesos and a hour and a half boat ride later, we were in the town of Sabang, Peurto Galera.

We quickly found a room at the Red Coral Beach Resort (redcoralresort@yahoo.com) for Pesos 1500 a night. Nothing luxurious, but it was right on the beach and cheap as hell, so we took it. We showered, made love, and took a nap to await nightfall so we could explore what the night life was like in Peurto Galera. We weren’t disappointed. Peurto Galera had a vibrant night life. My GF wanted to go dancing, and in every disco we stopped in there were girls waiting to be picked up by some foreigner. Loads of girls! And lots of them real hotties! I was surprised because I always assumed Peurto Galrea was a bring-your-own-girl type Island. When my Honey-ko slipped off to the CR, I asked Mamasan how much the BF was…1500 pesos she replied. Two of the girls having noticed my GF was missing asked me to dance. Out on the dance floor it took one of them two minutes to unzip my shorts and rummage around inside. I quickly ended her quest and went back to my seat, hoping honey-ko didn’t see what had happened. She gave me no grief so I guess she missed the action.

Broadway Disco, and Sunshine Disco are two of the bars we visited. We visited more but I can’t remember the names. And don’t let the names fool you. They were not disco’s in the traditional sense. The were Angeles City style bars with girls dancing around a pole on stage. The next day my honey-ko and I went snorkeling, and had lunch on the beach. Sabang is a big Divers town. Everything there is associated with diving. So if you dive, this is the place to go. At the end of it all, me and my GF caught the boat back to Batangas port for Pesos 150 each, then had a driver take us to Manila Airport for 2300 Pesos. I kissed my Honey-ko good-bye and flew back to Korea. I’m definitely going back…alone next time, and I’ll taste the sport of diving and taste a handful of the pretty ladies I saw all over town. That’s my report in a nut shell. It was a busy, very enjoyable five days. I can’t wait to get back there.

Hi,

I'm travelling through the Visayas next August (Boracay, Cebu, Malapascua.)

I'm interested in mongering but also about picking up some western girls (that could be there for tourism & travel).

Do you know if there are a lot of young female tourists there?

Where are the best places for night life and parties?

Thanks a lot!

P.S. Consider that I'm young and quite good looking.

Lorenz,

I believe you'll be SOL (shit outta luck) in the Western Girl Department. I do see Western Women on most of my trips to the RP, but most are of enormous girth and not worthy of letting your worst enemies having a go at. The ones that are hot tend to be connected at the hip by some poor bastard who is probably casting sideways glances at all the hot Filipina ass all around them. Nope, better stick to Filipina's....or Japanese and Koreans in some areas. Goodluck on your hunt.

Yella Man

I had agreed to let my very trim, blonde haired blue eyed GF (my LAST White GF!) meet me in the PI. My buddy and I had arrived first, then my GF and his wife a week later. After 2 minutes I realized it was a HUGE mistake and I did everything possible to make her want to bail (so I could be solo). Oh how I wish I met a guy like you back then!

My friend and his wife let her go with them to Cebu and I hightailed it back to Balibago with a shit eating grin! Never heard from her again (:

To answer your question, go to Kuta, Bali. It is paradise for those who want to pick up drunken Euro/Ozzie girls on holiday (and lesser numbers of American and Japanese) . Never saw ANY groups of White girls on holiday without guysaNYWHERE in Visayas. IF it happens in Visayas, Boracay would be your best bet but not until November when the tourist season begins there. I personally think you are off your rocker to chase White girls while in the land of LBFMs but to each their own,. Good luck in your hunt.

There are loads of western women in the Phils. Most of them are euro tourist girls, a few brits etc. But these girls are of the back packer, free spirit variety. Way too young for old bastards like me but I ALWAYS see lots of them, The three best places are the ones you named. Boracay being number one. Strange thing, I usually with a filipina, I took my Filipina out dancing at WAVE disco in Boracay and Cocomangas shooters bars, in each place I had Euro girls ask her to dance.

Malapasqua is another place, few Americanos there mostly European, Danes, Dutch and Swedes, seem to have some sort of inside on the place. I've noticed these girls are VERY friendly if you have a filipina with you they seem eager to talk to her and you. I'm sure you could do well but be forwarned, the odds are AGAINST you in those two places as there is an over abundance of guys to girls. And the Filipino guys also hit on them.

Cebu is another place. I've See western women at the infamous sunflower disco.

I know a few western dive instructors operaing in the Phils who get lots of pussy off western women.


Surfer is right about Bali, lots of western (drunk) girls there, jap girls too, real easy.


Good luck

Trip report: First trip to the Philippines

Went from Europe with Cathay Pacific, probably the best airline I travelled by except for Singapore Airlines.

Arrived in Manila during daytime and took a taxi in to Manila. You can use the prepaid taxi service, they charge around 500pesos for a trip to malate/ermita or a normal metered taxi, then the trip is around 150pesos. A note about taxidrivers in Manila, they are all bastards. Make sure they turn on the meter, or you will be overcharged and save you a lot of hassle.

Stayed at the Stargate pensionne at Adriatico street in malate. The deluxe room was about 1100 pesos a night. Newly build with nice rooms. Very guestfriendly also. On the same street there are many other hotels in the same price class.
Avoid the popular Malate Pensionne though, they have a strict no guest policy. No exceptions.

Didn’t really care for Manila. During daytime you have one thing to do – going to the malls. Nothing else. It also lacks the pulse of a big city since its spread out on a very large area.

Nighttime was slightly better. Went to La Café of course. Picked up two girls there my first night for st (2000p for both). Crowded place and really nothing more than your usual bar, except for the fact that many working girls go there. Personally I prefered Cowboy grill, which is alittle more like a disco, not many foreigneers there though..

In Malate/Ermita available girls are everywere. Semipro’s and pro’s on Baywalk and on the streets, massageparlours, gogobars etc. Just choose. I stayed 4 days in Manila and it was more then enough. I missed Makati though, which some people says are nice.

Flew to Boracay with asianspirit. Oneway ticket was around 3700 pesos. Boracay is really nothing more then a long beach with adjointing bars/restaurants and hotels. That’s it. No gogo or girliebars.
It’s fine with me though, cause Im into diving and beachlife.
Stayed at La Casa Bonita 5m from the beach at boatstation 3. Really nice and clean rooms. After barganing I payed 1100 pesos a night with breakfast included.

The action that exists is around boatstation 1. Cocomangas disco was the only disco with lots of people and they had some working girls. But many local girls also and semipros. I liked the place. One drunk girl working as a divemaster at a diveshop on the beach gave me a handjob in the bar, with her hands inside my pants. Pretty embarrasing, but I don’t think many people noticed(I hope, I was drunk to).

Spent two weeks there and had a good time. Not many white tourists there, LOTS of koreans though.

Next stop was Puerto Galera. Flew to manila and took the bus to batangas. From batangas ferry(1 hour) to Sabang Beach. Stayed at Riseros Beach resort, in a nice room fronting the beach with balcony.
Sabang is a pretty small place, but I had a great time. Diving is really good, although visibility was only ok due to rainy season.
The best restaurant was in my opinium Capt. Gregg which also had a great barbeque.

In Sabang beach there are four gogobars. They are all on the main street in sabang so you cant miss them. Takeout is 2000pesos. I prefered Village Disco.

There are lots of freelancers in the bars and everywhere. But again it’s a small place, you will see the girls you have had many times again.

Went to White Beach with rented bike. It was totally dead (lowseason now). Restaurants and hotels were closed.

Ok, now it was time for Angeles. Took the bus to manila and there I took a taxi(1500pesos). I guess in Angeles there aint nothing called lowseason, I went around to aprox 14 different hotels incl Royal amsterdam, orange lion, wild orhid, orchid inn, central park, swiss chalet, niagara hotel etc. Everyone fully booked, for a long time ahead. Finally, got a room in kokomoz for 2 nights, then it was full again. Rate 1750pesos anight.
Hotel was ok though, with computer and broadband in the room. Had an argument when I checked out though, they claimed I had drunk a lot of things from the minibar, which was only bullshit. Don’t care for the money, its that they are trying to fuck me that bothers me.Of course I didn’t pay.
According to a german guy staying at the hotel, this was their praxis so he always took a photo of the bar when he checked in.

Angeles all about quantity, but where is the quality? Bars like cambodia, insomnia, illusions, lollipop, roadhouse, treasure island etc all had many girls, but did I find I looker? NO. I guess at least 70% of the girls already had children, and really not the young beatiful girls I had imagened.

I did see some goodlooing girls at nero’s, blue nile and dollhouse though.

After all I had read about angeles it was a real disappointment. Went to atleast 20 different bars in balibago and perimeter road and I didn’t even see a titty. No wet t-shirt contest, no girls doing crazy things in the bar. Just your normal gogobars-nothing more.
Met a photographer who lives in pattaya and takes photos for asianbabymakers and other sites, who said the same. Where are all the craziness we heard so much about?! And he had stayed for 2 weeks.

I liked the bars on santos street though. Young good girls and no hassle for ladies drink or anything. Just 600 pesos. Takeout the same pice for 2 hours.

Stayed only 2 nights in angeles, not worth anymore.


Went to Subic bay and baloy beach. A 2-3 hour busride from Angeles.

Stayed at the Blue rock resort, nice place with a good restaurant and right at the beach. Were relaxed place but the diving was highly overrated.

Nightlife was god. Barrio Barretto had at least 6-7 gogobars at the national highway(takeout 1200 pesos) and a massageparlour with a couple of young gems.
There is also another nightlife area about 10min with jeepney east. Don’t remember the name, but there are lots of bars there, many good ones also.

Damn, Im bad with names but if you take a trike 100-200m east from barrio baretto-national highway, just over the bridge on your left side there is a filipino style gogobar. Nice place, with nudedancing, and its filipino style-also the age of the girls... Takeout is 3000pesos. They also give bj and striptease for 1700 inside the viprooms.

Conclusion:
Philippines is good for diving, beachlife and the girls are nice. Pretty cheap, easy to travel inside the country and everyone speaks ENGLISH which is very good.

But there are drawbacks. First of all, there are only a few real touristareas(for sex) manila, angeles, cebu, subic, puerto galera and the scenes are small except for angeles. It would be terrible during highseason, all places packed with people.

You have the gogo/girlie bars and you have your normal bars. If you are interested in a more varied nightlife, you wont be able to find it. REAL discos are nonexistant, although they call many places discos. You will find some bars with a very small dancefloor, and angeles has 2 small discos, but that’s it.
If your interested in raunchy striptease you wont be able to find that either.

Filipino food is in my opinium very bad. But its fine, cause its easy to find good thai, japanese or american food.

I would choose Thailand over Philippines anyday, but I will go back for a shorter period of time, cause I like the diving, the beach, and some of the girls are really nice. The girls are also generally younger in ph compared to thailand, but thailand is the easy winner anyway, cause it has much more to offer.

Hope you enjoy my report.

Will post some photos in the photogallery

See ya

Please [url=http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/announcement-reportsofdistinction.php?]Click Here[/url] for directions for posting a link to a specific report.[/blue][/size]

came here on a package tour of 3 nights and 4 days.

i had originally planned that this would be a byo operation but 12 days of meeting my internet girls in cebu and manila had me exhausted and pretty dried out. so i was happy to do some scuba diving, laying around the beach and playing wingman for the pal who came along.

we stayed at sea wind resort. it's an ok place, quiet and with nice grounds. neither the pool or the breakfast buffet are what they could be for this level of resort. the location is at the north end of white beach, so it's a bit of a walk to most of the restaurants and drinking places. but cocomangas, which turned out to be the best pickup place, is reasonably close. the resort was girl friendly, and in any case the security was a bit sleepy and didn't always know we were coming back.

it is low season right now so there may not be as much action to be had compared to other times of year. we walked up and down the beach and mostly it's pretty sedate. there is some live music in the form of quiet guitar strumming. but cocomangas had by far the highest concentration of freelancers, pimps flogging their stable of girls and just normal girls that were perhaps just off work from their resort jobs. it was packed every night (wednesday to friday nights when we were there), mostly with locals or filipinos from elsewhere and only a rep001tering of tourists. those of you who have been to dumaguete may be reminded of the why not music box as it is on weekends.

the asking rate started at 1500 and was easily brought down to 1000. it's probably possible to bring it down more for those with the will to drive a harder deal.

the selection of girls was actually quite good, not as hard core as i was expecting. some of the girls were between jobs or just topping off the income they were already getting.

elsewhere it will be very much hit and miss. there are lots of korean tourists but they're mostly in groups, not the singles or pairs that you really need to make an approach. you may find some stray opportunities up and down the beach or in the daytime when you go diving or whatever. also, if you're here for longer you may strike up a relationship with a waitress or shopgirl.

5 days here meeting internet girls and checking into the P4P scene. Spanish speakers will like it here because the local dialect is Chavacano, which is the closest Filipino dialect to Spanish. If you ever come to a communication impasse just start throwing out Spanish words and more often than not they'll communicate.

Flew here on Cebu Pacific from Davao.

Hotel: Garden Orchid. It was girl friendly. Try to avoid having a room looking out onto the main road or you'll get to hear half the karaoke pros in town. Rate was 2100, breakfast included. Breakfast was pretty good with a choice of American, Filipino, or Continental. The place is right by the airport and you can even walk from the terminal in about 5 to 10 minutes. Has a lobby bar but I never saw anything to hit on.

Places:

Ground Zero: Not to be confused with it's more ballyhooed namesake in Davao, this is a disco on the ground floor of the Garden Orchid. Unfortunately the only night worth going here was Saturday. Other nights the place closed early for lack of customers. There were a lot of targets on Saturday night though. This place also has a biometric registration system so try and look presentable for your pic.

Alejandra's: Sort of a mini version of places like The Venue and Auto Club in Davao. A few restaurants outside and an enclosed live band/disco. Also has a karaoke area which is mercifully enclosed. The band is pretty good and on the Saturday night I went there it was about half and half between men and women. It's better to approach girls outside where it's quiet enough to have a conversation. It's about a 5 to 10 minute ride from Garden Orchid on one of the 'trisikels' (the main way to get around).

Latitude: Another disco/live band in the downtown area. It's on two floors but a bit compact. Even on the weeknight I went it was pretty happening. On Saturday night it was full and wasn't letting more people in.

Mindpro Mall: The place to go to wander and chat up the babes. Got lots of eye contact when alone and even more when with another girl.

Filipino Barbecues: Or Lechon Manok or whatever. There are several of these on the road between the hotel and town. They're good places to take a date or to try to chat someone up. My favorite was Shamba, just down the road from my hotel and in a gas station parking lot. It's got good grounds and is quiet and secluded, a good makeout possibility for making the first moves to get someone in bed.

Videokes: Several of these on the road leading from the airport and past the Garden Orchid. I went to Rodelios, next to where Shamba is. Most of the girls are pretty average but there were a couple of lookers. The mamasan wanted 2500 for a barfine. I just agreed to meet the girl later and paid her 1500 for short time.

Strip Bar: There's one right by the airport entrance. I was there near closing time and the mamasan told me I didn't need to pay a barfine. But I didn't see an available girl so I just left after a couple of drinks.

Beach: I went to Bolong Beach with a girl's family. This is about a 40-minute ride south and west from town. The beach is just so so and suffers from the usual Filipino beach blights: Lots of trash everywhere and mangy nasty dogs hanging around. I was told there's a jellyfish problem but I took a swim with no ill effects.

Security: Never had a tense moment. A brief altercation between the bar girls and some idiot customer was the only confrontation of any sort that I saw. Zamboanga is majority Christian and so are most of the towns on the road from the city to Bolong Beach. If there were any dangers you would see the tension in the faces of the locals but everyone was relaxed wherever I went.

Girls: The girls can be a mix of Chavacano, Visayan or Ilongo speakers. Only one of the girls let me get physical. Some of the others were a bit flakey or seemed to be in cahoots with gay boy scams. Just be smart and you'll get by okay.

Thanks for a good report! My experiences are quite similar. I am a diver too and stayed at Riseros´. I sent a private message to you, but got it back. You cannot receive private messages?

Regards,
Hanqe

Message from the girl I just left here: 'Take care always, I will miss you on bed.'

I squeezed 3 days in this place. I'd like to stay longer but the days are flying off the calendar and I've got to stay on the move if I want to visit all the places I planned to in these 2 months.

My entire time here was with one chat friend girl who attacked my body from nearly our first moments together. She did admonish me not to tell our common chat friends, so she can preserve her virginal reputation (haha!)

I stayed in Leyte Park Resort, built in 1980 and showing its age some. The standard rooms are adequate at 2000 a night. Half of the pool looks nice and half looks kind of scuzzy. The breakfasts are just okay, maybe better just to order the American breakfast than dealing with the buffet.

A great source of information here is at the floating boat restaurant off to the side of the resort. Just turn left from the front and go down the hill past the basketball gym, the indoor shooting range and out to the dock. Most nights there will be grizzled old expats with decades of Philippines experience. They can advise you on the gamut of relationships with the local women, from marriage all the way down. Also, there are several tasty looking waitresses here that you might try hitting on. The restaurant on dock pilings next to here is also good. The owner of the boat restaurant also operates the only diving that I heard of. He charges $100 for a dive trip over to Marabut Reserve off of Samar. It includes the boat and gear and also any companions you want to bring.

At the gate of the resort are a collection of outdoor eating places that may be a happy hunting ground. There's a KTV there also.

My girl told me about Inzomnia Disco, a few minutes ride away. But she wouldn't let me go there, saying I would 'for sure pick up chickies there.' Unfortunately I was never able to make my escape and go check it out.

Some great posts by Mahku. I've always wondered about a trip to Leyte / Samar, but never heard much that sounded inviting. Of course if you want to experience just a little of Leyte / Samar you will find many of the working girls come from these apparently poorer than average provinces.

Any chance you will make it to Negros? Too bad about the oil spill.

Apparently, Subic is NOW being affected by oil. I don't think it is the same spill. Just do Google search if you want more info.

Anyone here in Butuan want to hang out and have a drink?..................................................................................................................................Well, c'mon don't everyone pop up all at once now!


As for Negros I'll probably make my usual 3 to 4 day stop in Dumaguete but that's all. I had plans to go to Iloilo and Guimaras but I'm down to 17 days left so I may have to cut it out. I've heard from my contact there that the oil spill isn't as bad as the media is making it.

This North Mindanao bit will probably take at least 9 days between Butuan, Duka Bay Resort for diving and Cagayan de Oro. I hung around in Davao for too long and now I'm having to rush the other places I want to visit. That's the problem with Davao. It's so good that it's hard to leave there.

"It's quiet tonight." said the Almont Inland Resort waiter at 9:30 in the evening as I was looking across at the bar being closed already. Actually there were more people about than the other nights I was around. After I told the guy that Butuan is the deadest, quietest town of its size that I've been to in the Philippines he giggled nervously and shuffled off like Filipinos always do when confronted with foreigners' bluntness.

There's just something profound dull about Butuan. There are a few places that try. Moof's, out in front of the resort, has a DJ and indoor/outdoor seating area. It could be something but it's cramped inside, no place to dance, and the aircon isn't nearly strong enough. There's a Caraga Square, an outdoor live band and bar area. But the night that we went there they had an exclusive party on and weren't letting in the general public. Now I don't mind these things in Cebu or Davao but when the number of decent places in a town can be counted on a very few fingers it's annoying when a place is bought out for the night. Directly across from the resort is U Turn, a piano bar. They distinguished themselves by having a cover charge even though it was absolutely empty at midnight on a Friday. Way to encourage customers guys.

One place that a monger on the hunt may try is down the road about a mile from Inland Resort towards the airport. There's a Butuan Doctor's College there, with the usual waves of cutely uniformed girlies. There are a couple of canteens and coffee shops across the street from the college where you can set up and wait for your prey. I got a couple of numbers for future visits this way. My girl took me to an outdoor disco set up one night in a vacant lot next to the college. It was full of writhing bodies, including ours, but I'm afraid it was a one off event or very occasional.

My girl was a bit of a flake. She was all over me one night, anything goes. Then the next nights she was very standoffish. I suspect she has a boyfriend and was afraid of being caught. So accept for the one night Butuan was a bit 'dry.'

Inland Resort is just okay. The pool is nice. It's 3000 pesos for rooms around the pool, 2500 for standard rooms at the back. But be aware these rooms can be WAY at the back, so that you're walking a third of a mile from there to the front gate. I started avoiding the bar because the bartender was always whining and crying about how poor he is. The service kind of comes and goes, par for the course in this country. Not far away there a convention hotel kind of place called Dottie's that might be an alternative.

All in all I would only come here if you're pretty sure you have a dependable contact. For pure hunting you're better off in about a dozen other cities in this country before here.

There's a fairly decent beach resort at this place halfway between Butuan and Cagayan. It has pretty good diving actually. There's an operation here to create and regenerate coral and it's getting some impressive results.

The beach is just adequate. It's sort of grayish sand with lots of pebbles and shells. In fact this is the norm for most beaches in the Philippines outside of Boracay and a very few other places. But it's a nice place to bring a girl or maybe hook up with one from the nearby towns of Gingoog and Medina, both of which have a decent number represented on various chat sites.

"I can't make it home tonight. Can I stay in your room?" my CB chat friend said as we sat in Club Mojo. I, with my usual deep concern for homeless everywhere, consented to this imposition.

A dilemma that happens all too often is when the girl you've arranged to meet is accompanied by a friend that's even hotter. And I really hit it off with the hot friend in the karaoke room. But my original girl (not so bad looking herself) was onto us and got between us. And no surprise that this friend didn't come along the next night, some story about having a headache or something. No matter, I have her contact info.

Cagayan expat old guy chic: It's all in the gray-haired pony tail....

It was good to get to Cagayan after lackluster Butuan and out in the boonies Duka Bay. It's a town with several colleges, so lots of young beauties walking around. I was pleased to see that the number of venues for hunting has increased over last year, not that I really had a chance to try since my needs were taken care of.

Divisoria, a street of half a mile or so in the middle of town, has an area with park space, fountains and other public areas. At one end, just outside the gates of Xavier University Ateneo de Cagayan, is a new cafe. I saw lots of student girlie types gathered here in the evening and at lunch time. For weekend nights the whole street is blocked off to cars and lots of market stalls are set up. It's a vibrant street scene that could offer many opportunities.

Xcite, the live band place across from Dynasty Court Hotel, has been split up into 2 places. There's Club Mojo, which I went to with my girl and her friends. The band was pretty good there. The other place is called Pulse, which I didn't get into. But I was told it's also a live band place. Also in this area is an upstairs billiards bar which has been good for afternoon to early evening hunting, a coffee shop downstairs from it, and La Togela Italian Restaurant. Serving sizes are big at the restaurant so if you're with 2 girls have them just order one thing and split it.

The Site, over by Limketkai Mall, has another live band place that I went to last year. It sort of had a bohemian thing going at the time. Downstairs from that is a coffee shop and there's a Karaoke bar here that I took the girls to. You can get a private room but it's not a hanky panky situation with a window on the door. You can still grope around a lot and do bump and grind dancing.

Dynasty Court has a live band bar on the top floor, but only on weekends right now. The lobby is being renovated at the moment so checkin is on the 2nd floor. You have to walk up the stairs to get to it. Otherwise the hotel is just OK. I got the deluxe room for 1700. You can get a cheaper standard room but there's not window. It's guest friendly here and they very helpfully give you a breakfast coupon for 2. Pryce Plaza, where I usually stay, was filled up with some jerkoff convention.

Badabing. This is a Filipino style go go bar. I finally made it in here after meaning to for a long time. But I had a bit of a misfire this time. The girl told me I could get a private room for 1500 including lots of drinks and anything goes. But when we got there she wanted 2000 more to do the deed. We reached an impasse and after calling the manager and explaining what the girl said to entice me to the back room he refunded the room charge. So it didn't go well that time but the bar handled it well and I think it's to be recommended. The girl also offered to meet me outside for 1000 but by this time I was a little put off. Lots of good lookers in this place.

It is my first experience to the philippines, not for trying bar girls but I was there to meet my wife to be, Well my round trip plane ticket cost $980 from San Diego to cagayan de oro, I arrived in Manila aug. 20 I had to stay overnight in manila so I can make my morning flight, so I met my girlfriend at manila airport it took her 3 minutes to spot me in crowd it's a good thing I told her what I be wearing what type of cap and color of my backpack, after she spotted me she was so happy since we met on yahoo chat almost 2 years ago anyways she was so happy it's like she hadn't seen me in years, well we took a cab to a hotel in pasay city not far from airport sorry I can't remember the hotel name we stayed for a night it cost about 1, 900 pesos it included breakfast and you can exchange money at hotel as they say it's better that you let the girl you are with to have her exchange money for you, so you can get the correct exchange, she made sure that it's correct amount, At least the hotel has cable TV, the room is nice and clean, One thing the city style reminds me of Tj old buildings, outdoor markets, street venders, taxi's everywhere except the taxi in phili the cars are more modern like Tj taxi's most of cars are more older, And there is a funny looking bus thingy called jeepny? I like the art work on them, there is a lot of moter/and cycle taxi type of thing In manila and cagayan, very intresting. Well we went to mall and the food is cheap there and their grocery too, my girlfriend told me the food is cheaper in cagayan than manila but grocery almost the same. After the mall trip went back to hotel went to bed my girlfriend cuddle up with me all night long and held me tight, I couldn't move that much in bed, LOL! The next day we had breakfast and head to airport going to cagayan. (Important Note! When making flights to other citys in phili, you have to pay some kind of departure fee whatever that is if you go to cagayan or other city the fee cost 200 peso $4usd and going on International flight cost is 550p/ $10. 90usd. Please be aware of that! )I thought the plane was going to be small a commuter plane, I was surprised it was a some what larger jet plane, the flight took about 40 min? Well we made it to cagayan the airport is small. Cagayan is a very nice area took a cab we went to hotel it cost about 950 peso almost 19 usd. The room is nice I'm not picky. There is a cafe bakery across the street she is right the food is cheaper but the cafe food is good, next day we went to another hotel my girlfriend used to work there, The hotel name is Bonair Inn, located on Don Sergio Osmena street. The room cost me about 550p about 11usd the room is kinda of smaller I like it I'm not fussy but the bathroom is small but I don't care the room is cheaper. Well I will finish my report next time I have to go back to work in the morning Blaaa! I really like it there in cagayan!

Big Fun posted positive comments about Amanpulo (along with photos of his stunning lady).

Thought I would second the vote. I have visited Amanpulo several times. It is pricey but, IMHO, one of the best beach resorts to relax on in all the PI. SCUBA diving is just so so but available.

Beach is even better than Borocay.

Made it over here for a couple of days last week. I had to choose between here and Dumaguete, and I went with Iloilo since I hadn't been here before. Would it have been better to go to Dumaguete? Probably, and I really missed the good times that I would have had there plus the diving. But still it's good to venture out of one's comfort zone and explore new territory.

In Iloilo I had a supplier of talent, a fortyish lady whom I've known for 3 years now. ISGers visiting Iloilo can PM me for contact details. She has lots of acquaintances of the sweet and innocent variety, just the type I like to work on. She introduced me to about 7 girls in 2 days, only one of which came through in a bedroom kind of way. But that was enough.

The one that did come through was an illuminating look at Filipina juggling of the truth. At first she was claiming to be the "I ain't never been kissed or touched variety." Then after one beer she admitted she had one boyfriend in high school. After another beer she divulged the dreadful secret that she had been married for a while. I decided not to let her have another beer lest I find out she had been swinging from a pole in Angeles a couple of days before. Anyway, she had enough beer for my less than honorable purposes.

Iloilo has pretty decent nightlife. It isn't in the league of Cebu or Davao of course. But it is sort of tied for 4th largest city with Bacolod (another place I need to get to). So it's gotta have something. Probably the best place is a collection of bars called Smallville. A couple of them are al fresco-like with live bands. One of them is called Pier 16, with a large model ship out front. Smallville is on a street just off the highway coming in from the airport. Near here is a disco called MO2. It's enclosed and has a DJ spinning out the usual POP music sort of hits. These are all the places I had time for in 2 days but I think there are more.

I stayed at Sarabia Manor, paying something like 2600 a night. It's in a rambling sort of compound. There's a decent pool and a gym that you have to pay for. Also on the grounds is an internet cafe and an English language school that caters to Koreans. You may be able to chat up Korean girls that are sitting in the outdoor coffee shop.

just came back from mindanao, passed through cdo and stayed overnight
and decided to get out and look around vis a vis the mongering situation.

i found that the main disco "excite" just got a facelift and new management
who have dubbed the place " the pulse" monday night at 10 pm to 11 it was
almost deserted, live band pretty decent, 2 for 1 drink special. probably livelier on a weekend.

next door club mojo was rocking out, a younger trashier crowd. lots of young girls gave yours truly the hot eye, all looked ****.

llmado used to be a lively place for freelancers, dull as ditch carp at 1 am, live band, a few drunk filipinos at the front table. a few un attached females
either frightened off by my fearsome appearance or were with the band.

walked around the streets a bit near the outdoor market and "ali-ali" area in the main part of town which is roped off at night to pedestrian stroll. a few girls all giggly and friendly and a little troupe of transvestites who followed me around a bit, went back to the room and decided cable tv was more interesting.

I've been to Tagaytay twice, liked it, VERY freindly atmosphere, dont forget the horsenback riding. As far as mongering goes I imagine you can meet a lot of local girls, was there with a lady both times got lots of inviting looks etc. The upscale/rich Manila crowd tends to come down on the weekends and many actors/actresses/politicians have summer homes here. What I did notice is a number of resturaunt/videoke/dance combination type places. These were nicer more laid back affairs than the buckets of blood one often finds in the cities.

Poaching another mans lady at one time was an unpardoanable sin, there used to be an un written rule among expats in both Phils and Thailand . I mean with all the available pussy running around why try to snatch another one away from some other guy and cuase all the hard feeling/revenge etc.
I've noticed that younger mongers tend to be more into this, flirting or whatever with your GF/Wife, some of these guys don;t know the rules.

I personally found Tagaytay nothing too special, although it is a pleasant break from Manila's heat, traffic and pollution. It warrants a daytrip I suppose. For mountain scenery, the Halsema Highway North from Baguio through the Cordillera is much more impressive.

Thanks for the support SH , Totally agree with you . Even in australia we dont poach our mates girls. He made the mistake and i know he has learnt from it. I had got her into my church there and was on a church pinic at the beach, she never relised that i had people watching out for me. The worse thing was after i kicked her out she went to live in his appartment( he he he)
he was paying 16,000 peso a month and she told him i only paid 5,000 so he tried to move into the appartment next to me. I put a stop to that!!! i did speak to him 2 times cos he called me trying to get me to take her back!
thats when i told him his last name and where he lived there and his family lived here in australia that took me 2 days to get information. Lets just say he was a worried man ! If any other guys read this just remeber what goes around comes around, and what you think is a freebie often cost you twice as much as a bar fine.!!

Thanks for the info on Tagaytay, I will be ok as my filipino Brother of 4 years has new work there as a gm of the Taal Vista Hotel so i will be ok, Just wanted to have some of my own inside on this city.

I suppose i could always bring them down from manila !! (girls) but i dont know what the busses are like or any other transport as i will be traverling there by my brothers car !

Regards Porty.
PS
At least i won't have any problems of posting photo's of her now he he he.
that will teach her. I will down load them in the next week or too just wait ok lang!

Salamat CL for information. If you can elebrate a bit more on the bars as this trip in november is to sort out my appartment and stuff no time for searching for GF, just company for a few nights.

Porty,

You have no right to complain about your recent treatment after the way you left me in shitters ditch in April in Cebu. You might remember you had arranged to meet me at the airport and offered a couple of nights accomodation and company in mongering pursuits in my first visit to Cebu. Taking you at your word I didn't bother booking a hotel. Well needless to say you showed your true colours by not showing up and leaving me stranded. I managed OK and have been back in June 2006 and plan again in November 2006 but what a cowardly low life you are. You havent offered any explanation since that date and hide away till 6 months later when you come out from under your rock. All your friendly talk and promises were just that, Bullshit. I reckon you got your right whack. Porty Old Boy

Thanks for nothing you Ordinary Bloke

I won't mention names, but a few posts before this, someone posts his direct criticism of another member. This person apparently doesn't know how to use the PM function. This person also mentions he has been to PI twice, yet he has a grand total of two posts. Maybe I suggest to this person that they attempt to contribute rather than attack.

Which reminds me of a PM I got a while back...guy was asking for specific information on a woman. He mentions that he goes to the Philippines two or three times a year. Same thing...grand total of two posts. Did he get the contact info...NOOOOOO.....

Guys, if you gain anything from ISG, then consider contributing. It doesn't have to be about women...hotel / restaurant reviews...airport hassles...whatever.

Sorry, off topic, but related to the last few posts...

It's not always possible to have a cell phone available on the first trip to the Philippines. I highly recommend buying one soon after arrival. I bought mine used and it has been a very good investment.

My next visit, I have to do some juggling of the ladies...if you know what I mean. How much does it cost to get a second sim card? I need to have two seperate numbers. One for the keeper, one for the others...

And lastly, never put all your eggs in one basket. That goes for women and it goes for friends you make here at ISG. People have last minute emergencies and can't always do what they say they will do. (yea, there should be apologies...in any event)

Now, this is the "other areas" thread. I'll pretty sure I'll be making a return visit to Alona Beach. I stayed at ISIS last time which was brand new back in Jan06. Has anyone stayed at Alona Kew? Any recommendations?

I won't be answering any more individual comments regarding my previous post except to say to Cbea why do you presume I had not had contact with Porty on the mobile phone I had on numerous occassions and that is why I was annoyed he did not turn up. To XMan I like your work but why do you presume I did not PM Porty about the matter. Jackson can confirm that I have made at least 26 PM's on this board so I do now how to use the PM function. The reason I said what I said and the medium I used to say it was because I never got any answer thru Mobile Phone, PM from the person concerned either thru ISG or thru Friendster (where I did send him a message). Yes, I agree, I don't post much of my experiences, thats true, but not everyone is as " out there" as you are, respect my privacy on that one. I pay my subsription to read the posts of fellow members (like you) and will comment when I feel like it, not just to make myself feel like a big man who shouts to the world his conquests and triumphs. I don't want to make enemies here, I was warning people to be careful about what they are told even by a fellow Aussie where we like to think that your mates come first. Regards to all. PM me if you wish but thats it for me on the subject.

I bought my second when practicing the art of the delayed departure, telling two GFs and a gaggle of pro's that I was leaving three days earlier than I really was, in order to have undisturbed fun with a professional ATF. I also took the opportunity, on the advice of others, to switch from Smart to Globe. (If the Philippines SIM chip is in the phone, and the phone is turned on, they can tell you are still in-country because your phone will ring.)

you can buy SIM cards for 100 Piso ($2) on ground floor of Robinson's in Ermita. I know because I bought 2 last month for the reason identified by Xman.

WHY did "they" suggest you switch from Smart to Globe?

Thanks for the additional details.

If you'd rather not "shout to the world" about your conquests, then feel free to give restaurant or hotel reviews. Even repeat visitors like me can learn from from "fresher" faces.

Thanks Surfer and Cbea20 for the info. I have Globe and, yes, it seemed that they could tell if I was in country by calling since the phone rang. So, I want to use the different SIM (phone number) to stay "hidden". Rather than "delayed departure", I'm doing the "hidden arrival".

It's kind of bizarre sometimes. There was a Cebu bargirl who texted me shortly after arrival in Cebu, a full four months after I had met her on a previous trip. I had never paid her barfine, just bought her one drink, didn't tell her I was coming back and had not communicated with her since I bought her the drink. She probably goes through her whole list every once in a while just to find out who's in town. She was in my room and naked an hour after that.

I gave another Cebu girl a rough idea of my itinerary ...first manila, then Cebu. I bought a load as soon as I arrived at the airport and ten seconds later she calls! Coincidences?

My US-based cell phone can get Digitel, Globe and Smart. I've tried all three and Globe is all-around best, followed distantly by Smart, then a very distant last place Digitel.

this tourist spot seems all too clean for me, in terms of sex. i did visit the g-point bar/lounge on friday night, adjacent to the petron station. it was around 11:15 pm and there were only about 20 customers in there, one group of people who all knew each other, then a few rep001terings of couples. the live band was ok, and two of the girl singers were quite pleasing to watch. but other than that, no-nothin' from any girls there, waitresses, bartender, etc. from there i drove over to casino filipino, but another big zero except for getting multiple contacts from a lady-boy.

the raja shopping center, which is across the street from the starbucks complex that overlooks lake taal, is where i spend most of my evenings (unfortunately, working) at the 24-hour internet cafe. most if not all of the shopping center is korean-owned and operated. there is a massage place, but it just seemed too legit. one of the security guards insinuated that extra services are provided. having seen a couple of the girls who work there, i decided to give it a try. unfortunately, nothing. i was led to a small massage room in a well-lit hallway, and the room door had a window 2 feet high and 8" wide so that anyone walking up and down the hallway could observe whatever was going on inside. a non-private room is the first sign of disappointment.

the filipina girl, leah, was all business - for 500 pesos the massage was quite good, but not spectacular, and certainly not the least bit erotic or sensual. i did notice that the room right across from mine had a towel draped over the shut door, blocking the view into the room. instantly i thought, "aha. i bet money that if you're a korean dude, you can get extra service, otherwise, you're outta luck."

speaking of starbucks, i went there several nights just hoping i might get a glimpse of some potential game. again, zero. seemed like only the elite filipino youth, all of whom were hanging out together as groups or couples, go to these places. you know as well as i do that they didn't get there on their own merits - it's mommy and daddy's money that allows them to be born on third base - i just wish they didn't act as though they were the league leaders in hitting triples. they love to flaunt their high positions on the social ladder. every one of those girls ought to be sucking cock.

one last little report (which really isn't) - how do you know you're shopping in the philippines? if the number of people working in the store far outnumber the customers. i couldn't hardly move between aisles of the dasmarinas ace hardware store because of constantly running into employees, all of whom want to interest me in something i don't need - a sledge hammer, an automatic wheel washer, etc. one shop girl has seen me in there twice, both times with my filipina wife, but today i was shopping alone for the most part, and this young, cute girl followed me all over the store. the guys were teasing that she was free. i told her, they're just teasing you because they like you. about 45 minutes later, when i was in watson's drug store, she surprised me by walking up and grabbing my arm and greeting me like we were having a surprise encounter after not seeing each other for 2 months. then she went off w/ some co-workers on a food break. later i actually remembered something i meant to buy at ace, and i ran into her again, having returned from her break. long story longer, she gave me her cell phone number and home land line number. i told her i'd call and take her out for a christmas dinner sometime. i felt my johnson swelling with pride as i strolled away from her toward the check-out line.

other than that, i'm writing off tagaytay. you won't see any more posts from me unless something happens with the ace girl, and maybe not even then because it won't be a repeatable experience - it's definitely a one-off thing and i've never had it happen before, in any country (certainly not in the u.s.).

excellent report Mr. Vee. HoltonCowboy has also posted some useful information about getting action in the areas surrounding Manila to the South and which sound much better than tgayaytay. These areas are not discussed much on the web and sound very interesting. Having a rental car would seem necessary to really explore those outlying areas as taxi fares would get steep and stuff is quite spread out.

i know i said i wouldn't, but i did ... i revisited the raja shopping center's korean massage place. i talked to the guy who manages it, and this time i had a better overall experience, but still nothing erotic. that being said, i won't say anymore about it, except that if all you want is a good massage, then you'll get one there, for 500p. i still think "other stuff" goes on somewhere inside those rooms, but just not for me, for whatever reason.

having a car, i decided to backtrack along aguinaldo hwy, heading away from tagaytay into the general direction of dasmarinas (if you continued that direction, you'd be back in makati). about 10 miles up the road, on the right, i wanted to check out something i saw the other day but didn't have time to stop. there's a one-horse town of sorts (no traffic light) that has a couple of bars with one big neon sign (about 12' high) with the outline of a curvy woman lit up red. there actually are 3 bars (that i saw) and since it was close to 2 am, there wasn't much going on, as you'd expect. i parked further in the back, in front of a place called "chick point" or "chick place" - can't remember. there were three girls sitting at the entrance to the place and what sounded like tejano music blaring from the inside.

i turned and went to check out the front-row bars first, but there wasn't much of anyone or anything going on. quite dirty places, actually, but the guy (homo) who greeted me encouraged me to sit down for awhile and he'd bring a girl out. her name is "juliana", probably 21 years old, 5'1" and fairly cute for a girl far from her home in manila.

i wanted to take her for s/t just so i could blow a wad (haven't done that in too many days now ... whoever the next girl is will have a huge load dumped on her - lol).

short version: nothing. juliana wanted me to stay for awhile and listen to her sing karaoke (i hate that shit!), but it was now close to 3 am and i realized i wasn't "getting" anything. she wanted me to come back tonight and go to the vip room with her.

bottom line: i think these places are like u.s. strip clubs, but without any stripping! forget it. i think if you wanted to visit one of these places 3-4 times and get to know a girl, then something might develop. who's got time and money for that shit?! besides, i'll be in bangkok tomorrow, and about this time 24 hours from now, i'll be enjoying oral and other sex with two bi-girls for 90 minutes. if i really like them, i'll invite them to come spend the night with me after their shift ends at midnight. yippee! apologies to you philippines fans out there, but compared to thailand, philippines sucks (and **not** the way i want the philippines to suck!).

I recently came back from a Travel Conference in Iloilo City and While I was busy,I went out twice acting as a sort of guide to some first timers to Iloilo.We discovered it is a religous city dominated by the Catholic church.Thus there were no KTV s or Stripclubs in the city.The Clubs that opened were picketed and vandalized by the locals until they closed.To cite an example About 7-8 years ago,They forced the casino to close down by picketing it daily and throwing stones to break the windows of the casino,When the Casino people protested and asked for police help.The Mayor refused and even announced that they would NOT FILE ANY charges against anybody vandalizing the casino.The next day the Mayor was himself leading the people in picketing and vandalizing the Casino.Ditto for the Bikini Carwash,Strip Clubs etc.Picketing and Vandalizing by the locals who destroy customers cars quickly forced them to close

On a positive lot,There is a complex called Smallville where you can pick up freelancers as some of my companions did,These are a couple of bars and clubs.Likewise there are a couple of discrete casas where you can order takeout,My friend was able to order room service for about 2,500 from the Bellboy.Looks 6-7.Cant speak for her service since I did not ask.Iloilo has some nice old churches and the Miago Cathedral is on the list of world heritage sites.Good seafood but for mongering give it a miss.

I've known several very nice girls from Iloilo area in Manila, and with a large university there must be some nice nonpro opportunities although you see quite few on CherryBlossoms.

Any Boracay quality beaches on that sideCL? Good diving?

Does anybody know of any clubs w/ barfine in the cavite areas?

[QUOTE=Pekpek Lovr]Does anybody know of any clubs w/ barfine in the cavite areas?[/QUOTE]
There are a couple of places along Aguinaldo Highway which have takeout.These are in Dasmarinas and Imus.

Leyte

In Angeles City most of the girls tell me that they originate from either Leyte or Samar, which are neighbouring large islands. Samar is to the north and Leyte to the south. Just to give you a reference mark for those who are not familiar, on the map, the southern part of Leyte is about level laterally with Cebu.

I caught a Cebu Pacific Air Bus from Manila to Tacloban the largest city in Leyte. It is so big that it has one McDonalds LOL. The flight took around 1 hour and 15 minutes. I have learned the hard way to ask for a “promotion” at every travel agent and every hotel I go to in the Philippines. Some how, most places seem to offer you a huge discount if you ask for this every time. The normal price for a round trip ticket in this case was 7,000 pesos, as soon as I asked for the promotion price, it came down to 3,750 pesos for the same ticket! A bargain! On arrival to the domestic airport I checked in and entered the departure lounge. As you enter on the right is a great project. It is a massage room run by the blind association and they do an excellent massage and I never miss the opportunity any time I fly domestic. So after my 45-minute great massage for 300 pesos I was on board and on my way.

Tacloban airport is not much to look at, just a lousy open-air hanger and many porters waiting to help you for a tip.

The taxi fare is negotiated at between 200 and 250 pesos for an air-conditioned old van. That’s as good as you will get here. Lol.

I checked into the Leyte Park Resort Hotel still owned by the Marcos Family. It is a run down version of a once magnificent beach resort. They are renovating rooms slowly but most are in original run down condition. The advantages are that no one will bother you if you take guests there 24/7 and the centre of town is only a 10 pesos trike ride away, yes that’s right 10 pesos only!

I asked how much for a double air-conditioned room and they said 2,200 pesos for the night. Again I used my trusty and well-worn question that has saved me $$$$ in the Philippines over the years and asked, “Do you have a promotion”. The receptionist looked at me with a sad face and said, “I will call the Manager.” Well at this point I wasn’t sure it this was good or bad lol. After a brief chat on the phone she said, “The promotion price is 1,450 pesos.” This was for the exact same room! J It worked again.

After settling in I took a trike to the centre of town, which is the Geysano shopping mall across the street from McDonalds. I walked around and felt safe at all times. I was the only foreigner I saw there that day. Because of this, I was stared at by most of the people who saw me. At first this made me a little uneasy but I soon saw that their intentions where good and I was fine about it. All the children smiled and waved at me in big groups and said, “Hello Joe,” obviously a through back nick name from the war era for Americans (even though I am Australian lol). The men just looked and were not to sure how to behave until I smiled then they all smiled back and the girls, well let me tell you, it was an amazing reaction. I felt like a movie star. Not one ***** in site yet I could pants any one I choose. This is the life for me I thought to myself lol.

After walking around the streets for an hour or so and getting continuous stars and welcoming smiles from all the pretty, shy girls, I thought I should put my feelings to the test. I had heard that it is the practise in the Philippines, not to hire girls under 5 foot 4 inches in departments stores as shop assistance so I was in the mood for a tall one this day. I slipped in to Geysano’s Mall and checked out the girls working there. They were cute, tall and by the look of the stares, ready to rock! I checked things out for an other 15 minutes and then spotted my prey for the day. She was about 5 foot 7 inches, with short straight hair and a face and body to die for. I smiled and she smiled back. I walked up to her and asked her about some jeans that were in her section. She seemed to speak good English but acted a little shy. After a few minutes of small talk, I asked her what time she finished work and she said in 25 minutes. I then asked if she had a cell phone to which she said no. I had purchased a bag of broken old black and white cell phones at auction in my city before leaving for the Philippines for exactly this situation. I had them all checked and repaired in Manila for 200 pesos each and I paid about that for them at auction. I grabbed one of my old cell phones out of my pocket and handed it to this girl as she stood there in amazement. I said, “Can I call you in 30 minutes?” She said “Really?” I said “Yep.” She says in an excited voice, “I wait for you call na!” By this time all her work mates had huddled together pointing and gossiping and giggling about what had happened. As I looked at them they were all smiling and waiving at me. I suddenly felt 10-foot tall and bulletproof lol.

I called my baby as I said I would and she answered the phone in a very excited voice. I told her to take a trike to the Leyte Park Resort and I would meet her at my end and pay the 10 pesos for the trike. She kept saying, “Really?” repeatedly which was a bit annoying lol. She arrived in about 8 minutes and I paid the trike and took her to the bar for a drink. She was so excited I thought she was going to jump out of her skin. We had a drink and chatted a little then I told her I liked her and wanted to take a few photos of her for remembrance. She agreed. We went to my room and then I dropped my new Fiji F470 6 mega pixel pocket cam and broken the auto focus, which pissed me off no end. As she comforted me and apologised for the accident, we started kissing and in 15 minutes we were naked and going for it hell for leather on the bed. She was clean and sweet and obviously no virgin lol. Once we had had a few rounds she took a shower then got dressed. She said she should go home now or her Family will worry. At this point she handed me back the cell phone I had lent her. I put in back in her hand and closed her fist around it and said “This is a pasalubong (gift) for you because you are so special.” Well I though she was about to burst into tears. She kept saying, “This is for me? Really, for me?” LOL. As if I had given her the winning lottery ticket or something other than a $5, eight-year-old cell phone lol. She said, “So you will call me tomorrow?” I replied “Of Course LOL.” I just left out the word NOT at the end.

I was in Tacloban 3 days and repeated this 5 times and it worked every time bar 1 when the girl was an 18 year old virgin and she wanted me to meet her Family before she came to my hotel. I don’t think so lol.

In conclusion, Tacloban has a few bars, a couple of discos and nice restaurants such as the seafood place called Ocho, which is great and cheap. Any taxi or trike driver will show them al to you as this is a small town. I could not find any P4P but I didn’t look hard and I didn’t need it. I heard trike drivers can hook you up with P4P for between 500 to 1,000 pesos I was told this but as I said, I didn’t need it this trip.

The only thing I can see as a problem here is that each and every girl here thinks that if you fuck her, you will marry her or at least be her long-term steady boy friend. This is no issue if you are there for a short time but if you plan to stay say 2 weeks or more, it could become an issue as your girls see you on the street with other girls. I heard Fathers and brothers do get involved to uphold the girl’s honour. I suggest you hit them hard, hit them fast, then get the fuck out of there. Lol.

Samar, more promiscuous than Leyte I found. Story coming up soon.

Great report. Innovative approach.

Thanks I think you are the first to read it or at east comment. I appreciate it.

Cheers

blastoff mate,

a couple of great reports mate. you certainly are one of the most adventurous mongers amoungst us all. not only did you break new ground on your recent trip to kenya, it would appear, you have done so here as well.

look forward to further reports on your trip. i`m definately on for the philippines/thailand some time next year. expect me to be asking of you some advice on my travels.

on a personal note mate, i`ve had to postpone my ghana trip this month until the new year so i`ve have been in a saulk for several days. anyway, i made an arrangement with father christmas to slide some pussy down my chimney at the end of the month, so all is not lost.

keep up the good work.

blastoff will relate to this small-town story.

having returned to the philippines from bangkok, i haven't felt like ongering. shot all my ammo in bkk (lol). but on my second night back in tagaytay, i was working in the internet cafe per usual. ten rowdy teenagers came to the cafe around 11 pm to have a lan party, so i decided to pack up and
go have a drink.
i went back to the g-point bar and had barely sat down w/ my first drink (a 'vodka grape' special, for 55p) when i feel a tap on my shoulder. it's maui (mow-ee), the girl who tends the wine shop adjacent to g-point bar. i invite her to join me, and she does, soon followed by an offer to give me a massage.
by 1:30 am we left the bar, bought some stuff at the 7-11 for her kids, then to a short-time hotel.
she did give me a bonafide massage and at the end of that she laid down and was quickly asleep.
by now it's around 3:30 am, and i'm thinking that either something else needs to happen or i need to take her home. i decided, what the hell, and started undressing her, and wrapped her fingers around my cock.
once i got her pants off, i explored the triangle and decided all was well, so i woke her up with a mild tongue lashing. soon we're fucking and she's worried about pregnancy, but i assure her that i had a vasectomy (it's true). two things she wanted: lights out and fast, jackhammer strokes. i like lights on and slow, methodical pumping action. oh well. after 5-6 minutes i came anyway, and was happy that our time was up.
nice girl, but she started talking about all her financial difficulties and wanted me to send her a 1500-peso allowance every week to help her out. ha! it never ceases to amaze me how many people are out there who seem to expect that someone somewhere will just give them money. hmmmm. let's see: i work. i earn money. i manage my money. so she clearly thinks i'm going to set up a weekly electronic transfer of money from my account in the states into her bank account in the philippines. suuuuuurrrrre.
she also starts talking in terms of relationship and marriage. she wants me to pick her and her two kids up @ jollibee at 10 am saturday, to take them shopping at shoemart in dasmarinas.
none of that is going to happen (nor can it, even i wanted to). i did give her 1500 pesos (about $32).
combine that with the 7-11 purchases and the s/t hotel bill, the drinks at the g-point bar, and i spent around $50 for the (ahem) shooting match. i consider that a good value for what i got.
she's about 4'11" and probably no more than 85 pounds, and she says she's 21 but i think she's mid- to late-20s. definitely an asian milf, though.
bottom line: i think if you are in tagaytay only for a couple of days, as most tourists are, your odds of finding a service provider are quite low. if, however, you stay here several weeks, as i am, then the odds
increase in favor you you getting some action. my experience (above) would not have happened if not for two pre-meditated conditions: (1) i made it a point to return to the same bar enough times to be an accepted part of the scenery. (2) i kept an eye out for any chance meeting, and followed up accordingly. spending some extra cash here and there also will help out your cause. for example, i get to know the waitresses/bartenders by name, even a security guard or two. i tip the waitresses and even the band. last night's band had one male keyboardist and three fairly hot filipina singers. i gave them a tip during their break, just saying that i wanted to express my enjoyment of their show. one of the girls gave me a contact card with phone & e-mail address on it. lol
the worst and trickiest part (imho) about getting girls in this fashion is that they are most likely non-"working" girls. therefore, you pretty much have to play the game and at least act or pretend that the whole relationship
thing is what you're about. personally, i prefer just to go into a massage parlor or grab a girl from greenbelt, and then all the cards are on the table. both sides know what its all about - money and sex. a lot less complicated that way. my situation now is somewhat of a moral and logistical dilemma because there's a girl out there who's expecting she and i are going to be together, and that just can't happen. even if i wasn't already attached/married, there's no way i'd lavish a bunch of time and money on someone i just met, especially with the two-kids factor. the other down side to the approach i took is that maui is almost certainly going to be at the g-point bar, and/or she'll have her acquaintances there on the look-out for me. i'd like to go back to that bar, but i'm only here 3 more days - probably just find some other bar to go to.

[QUOTE=Blastoff]Leyte,

Samar, more promiscuous than Leyte I found. Story coming up soon.[/QUOTE]Great report, I am anxiously awaiting your Samar report! So many islands, so little time, your report is definitely a big help!

The info for Palawan here is rather thin. Can anyone provide a quick 411? If not, I will do my best to do some investigative journalism this coming January. Thanks in advance.

Lev

no difficulkty finding one to go witrh you, but Palawan is the frontier and even PP is a mere town, not a city.

Without retrieving maps and old documents, I'll try to tell about when I went to Palawan in 2001 for 5 weeks. I was recovering from back surgery and a horrible divorce. The flight o Manila was the usual long monotonous experience. Long story short, I met an unemployed nurse hottie in Quezon City and asked her if she wanted to go with me to a resort in Palawan. At first, she wanted to bring a companion but, then I said that I couldn't take two. She eventually came with me on the grounds that I get her her own room and that I pay her for being my nurses. I really didn't need a nurse because the resort had a Dr there who came in and was to report to my Dr in the US if my stainless steele seutures became abnormally red. We got a flight to Palawan via PI airlines. It was so cheap, I can't remember how much unless I looked at my old documents. We landed on this airport, there were goats tied up at the terminal. A jeep employed by the resort took us to the boat area. I had to lay down on my stomach during the ride from the terminal to the dock. We passed through several villages that had only bamboo huts and no electricity ever... a basketball court in the center of the village. One thing you should know: Even the good girl Filipinas are the horniest women on earth. There are 35 year old virgins all over the PI. I rubbed my nurse's smooth brown legs the entire ride. When she stood up, she had a steam of wetness down her leg she couldn't control. This poor thing was about to be deflowered. The driver dropped us off at a dock. The dock was about 3/4 mile long leading through swamps to a boat dock. The boat ride was aout 45 min and took us to a small island where the resort was located. Although most things in the PI are cheap, that resort was outrageously expensive. The resort was full of Euro families who took all the overpriced canoo tours around the island in through caves. My nurse had her room for one night but, she never stayed in it. She moved in with me the 2nd night. I rehabbed by walking up the mountain, eventually every day 3 times-a-day. The first few days, sex was very painful for her. After the 4th time, she was insatiable. It was 5 weeks of sex and mountain hiking. I was coming off a divorce and didn't want a fast relationship. I wish I didn't have to break her heart.

It sounds like nice Miss Maui brought you to a point to feel guilty and you should have pitty on her.

But reading your story I guess she is professional enough to know what she does and how it (almost always) ends when dating a traveler. Unlikely her first date with a foreigner.

She piled on the pressure and the reaction will - more often than not - be as your's reported here.

It seems to me that either she thought she can get the gift fast and for free (without working for it) or she is somehow fallen behind.

But I tip on the former and with her two kids she has had already experience with the opposite gender and so was given the chance to learn about life.

You probably had the logistical dilemma because which guy want to run into Maui again and discuss with her that issue? Even when you know she is playing her game, the situation is not so comfortable that you wanna get into it unsolicited.

My conclusion is that the moral dilemma is on her side and given that she doesn't deserve it any better until she adapts to realism or honesty.

From Tacloban in Leyte where the airplane lands, it is about a two and a half hour road trip north in an air-conditioned van leaving from either the Tacloban office of Grand Tours or there is now a new van depot about 10 minutes out of town. There you can catch all the van companies who travel all over Samar and Leyte. The trip to Catbalogan varies from company to company but ranges from 100 pesos to 150 pesos per person each way. Vans leave bout every 30 minutes in day time hours so there is no need to book.

Once in Catbalogan, I stayed at the Rolet Hotel which is reputably the best hotel in town and is centrally located and girl friendly. The rack rate was 950 pesos per night for a double room so I didn’t negotiate. The hotel has air-con rooms and is clean and well maintained but the rooms have no windows so it feels a little bit like a jail cell lol. Girl friendly for sure in fact the receptionist was VERY interested in visiting me in my room but as she was in her early thirties and had a Mommy tummy, I was not interested.

Catbalogan is a small city on the sea. It is typical of many small cities in the Philippines. The only difference is that the girls working in shops and walking on the street and riding in trikes are VERY forward in speaking with you and asking if you have a girl friend and if you are interested to get to know them with the view of being their boy friend. Everywhere I went I was constantly hit on by non-pros. It was quiet a blast. A new (small) shopping mall was opened the day I arrived. The city was buzzing with people coming from the provinces to check it out. It was a crap mall to our standards.

There are two bars I found while I was there. They are NOT like Angeles City bars LOL. They are normal bars where the locals go to drink and have fun on weekends but due to the popularity of me being a foreigner, it is too easy to pick up. The name of the biggest bar is “Eclipse” and the other one was undergoing renovations and was going to re-open in November 2006. It was formally know and “”Mads” but was changing it’s name to “Sooners” the Manager told me. They both have bands playing on weekends and the places are packed. Easy pickings but don’t be too loud and aggressive as the local boys take offence to this behaviour in this small town and they will likely have something to say about it. Just be low key and chat to girls who give you the eye. It’s that easy.

The girls here don’t ask for money. They go with you to try and convince you to be their boy friend and eventually support them financially. Yes even here the girls have agendas lol.

It is dead easy to pick up in this town any time of the day or night just by walking around. In the days I was there I saw only one foreigner on the street other than myself.

I was told by a few trike drivers that they can arrange pros to your room if you want them for between 500 and 1,000 pesos but I am guessing that the girls would most likely be a friend or a relative of the driver.



Trike rides here are the cheapest I have ever seen at 3 pesos per person and 95% of the trikes have no engines just bicycles strapped to a sidecar lol. Amazingly they use these trikes for transporting anything not only people. I saw several large black pigs transported alive on a pedal trike lol. I wonder if the pig had the right change when it arrived at its destination J.

Everything is noticeably cheap. The cost of living here is amazingly low. Restaurants, transport, cloths, food (fresh fish in the markets is as low as 50 pesos a kilo) everything is just so cheap compared to Manila or Angeles City, I would say 50% to 80% less. You could live like a king here on USD$200 per week including rent and electricity.

I walked around the first day and was propositioned by several shop assistance. I chose a 19-year-old girl who said she was originally from Manila. We met after work, had a bite to eat close by, and then went to my room. Easy as that most times unless they are virgins. Then they will want you to marry them so be aware, as their Families will hunt you down if you take her cherry and dump her and stay in town. I picked up other girls most anywhere. They will all be smiling and giggling as you walk past. Just smile back and ask them their name and you are in. It is that easy there.

Advice.

As I mentioned in my Leyte report, this is not the place to be a playboy for a long time. You will get brothers and Family members of girls you banged knocking on your door if you hang around for a while. If you pass through for a few days or a week you should be fine. Any longer, get yourself a girlfriend, threat her well and enjoy.

I also took a scary motorised canoe ride in open ocean to Daram Island, a very remote part of Samar. That report will come later.

Pics to follow.

Blastoff's report reminded me why I still bother with the ISG, despite the undesireable elements that frequent the PI folders in particular.

Great, uncrowded waves in Samar have intrigued me since my first visit to the PI back in '94. Used to be an NPA hotbed in the late 80s and early 90s. I have met so many girls in Angeles from Samar it is amazing there are any left. LOL

Looking forward to the banca trip and photos.

Thanks for your comments. NPA still exists in Samar but they seem to be consecrated in the east not the west. I did checkout my facts before I left lol.

It is truly a great place but not for the foolish or the faint hearted as you can get yourself into trouble there by being silly but usually you can buy your way out. Ahh the beauty of 3rdworld countries. ;)

Take care when travelling there

The bamboo floor you see was in the bamboo hut I slept it one night. The naked girl in the bed was in the Rollet hotel and the other girl was in the park with me. That's me in the trike.

Enjoy

Blastoff's reports are well written as usual, I enjoy reading them ! :)

Pig tranportation in 3rd World can be unorthodox for some of us (some won't like it):

I love your attitude. I'm stuck (well, more like stuck in paradise) 7 days a week in Manila due to work, but I'd be doing the same in a heartbeat if I could get out of here. Funny how that one old guy was going moralistic on you. Most of us know YOU ARE THE MAN, but unfortunately, jealousy does raise its ugly head on occasion. I usually look for the new, province types in the bars, but there is nothing like the real thing.

How was internet access in Samar and Leyte. I have to download about 8MB of files per day for business, so anywhere I go must have access to at least an internet cafe that I can conect my laptop to.

Surprisingly, broadband internet is available in both Tacloban and Catbalogan. There are many internet cafes in each city. I suggest you go to the air-conditioned ones as they usually have the fastest internet.

Everything is cheap there. You will be hard pressed to spend that much including girls. You can spend as little as $200 per week and still have a good time in the provinces.

The Pig in a side car is so average and everyday i hardly notice it anymore, however imagine this one.

A hot day in Davao and the Spamhog is driving by the bus station in Davao, a
"weena" lines stops just in front of me and blocks the road. The foreman jumps out, opens the cargo area and removes some luggage and then (I swear im not making this up!!!) at least twenty goats all tethered on frayed rope leashs. Some skinny little pinoy farmer looking like charlie chaplin is trying to manage the animals. He was crossing the street in heavy traffic with the goats jumping and twisting around, people in their Pajeros swerving and braking/honking etc. He made it wiothout a casualty. it was something out of a Mad TV routine. Took me five minutes to stop laughing.

gentlemen:

Just got in from a visit to the province, an interesting experience I will post on under "living in the Philippines" It was located in the wilds of Surigao interior (mindanao) to get there i had to first go to tandag on the extreme east of Surigao province, flew in from Cebu on a 16 seater asian spirit. Was suprised to learn a full fledged surfing festival is underway as of Nov 19th to Nov 26, Lots of foreigners showing up, surfer boy types. Mongering potential is from the two colleges and numerous local Lasses who are quite friendly and curious, few white men come here. Some of these ladies will be competing in the much touted "Bikini open contest" only two videokes in town but I didn;t sample either. found out later in the "province" many girls were thinking about coming to town to "see" the "foreigners".

Best place to stay is probably Secanse Pension, right on the water.

Good luck

Nice repot Blastoff. I too was in Catbalogon in the Rolet Hotel about a year ago. My opinion of the hotel differs a little. I had a window and a view of the Collage across the street. You could easily miss this because of it size. Prices I agree were excellent. The room you spoke of seemed very small so I opt for the family room with two big beds.

I got a bit brave and visited an island in Daram for a night. No plumbing, No electricity and no CR or bath. We had to use a tree or the river.

All my photos were lost. These were taken by someone else that stayed and did what I did.

Good to hear from you. I have been recently accused of lying that I did this trip so to hear from some one who has done the same with similar photos is a relief and will put the doubting Tomas's to bed lol.

Cheers.

Just tell me whats the difference when you see a baboy here in a side car,or a 300 lb american chick riding in an escort at home!Some things never change,I think the pig here looks much better.

B.B...

Correction BB

I totally disagree. The 300lbs American chick with the Wal-mart skirt looks better in the trike than the pig. In either case, they're only good for making bacon.

I have both Smart and Globe, and I have heard many Filipinos say this and I now know it's true, Smart CHEATS! If you buy a prepaid Smart card, pay close attention to your load, they cheat you out of it. Free texts disappear, etc. It's really true I have paid attention, they really do cheat you. For this reason, I recommend Globe. That and the coverage is better with Globe.

[QUOTE=Cbea20]Globe is said to have better coverage, that's all.[/QUOTE]

Thanks for the post Boston, but could you please give more details? I'd love to hear more travel reports from outlying areas....as Spamhog has done.

How did you get to Daram? Why did you go? How long did you stay?

And, as a photo lover...what happened to your pics?

Columpuss, yea. That's good. I've seen a pig trike before and you are absolutely correct. Is that a Brit sense of humor I detect?

Does anyone know how's Puerto Galera or Sabang holding up against Durian. I don't have a drop of religion in me but I do pray for the good people of the philippines. The corrupt government + terrorists + poverty + typhoons, they still smile. The ironic thing is, praying to "him" is what most people in the PIs do all their lives and they still get this crap, thanks to "him" the great one.

From the brother mongers in this forum, our hats are off to you: the little boys selling baluts on Sabang, the old woman with the fruit basket, the many beautiful girls comming from the province to scratch out a living there, and also, forgive our petty complaints for we are not up to your standard.

Thought this was an interesting menu I saw walking the streets of Bagio one day. I was going to ask what breed but did'nt. LOL.

Columpuss,

I have heard anecdotal reports that the Puerto Galera/Sabang area sustained property damage from Durian. I have not heard any rpts of fatalities in the area. It appears the fatalities were confined to the Bicol area, especially the villages on the slopes of Mayon Volcano.

Baguio is notorious for dog meat, which prepared right, can taste unbelievably good.
Comes to think of it, Lucky, come here boy!! um um good!

Brothers in the Pines,

I'll be making my first trip to Puerto Galera for some scuba training Feb. 18-25. Am interested in a recommendation for one or two good bars, not interested in a crawl, would prefer to head straight for quality, price not so terribly important. Also interested in anyplace that offers in-call, i.e. bj bars. Cheers.

heading to butuan to see my 19 year old hottie. whats the place like? is it ok to travel alone from place to place? where in butuan is the action? i have a 21 year old in manila, but don't know if i'm going there. end of march. yippee! i'll be doing some good shagging. "hey, doc, i'm kind of rundown can i get some of those performance enhancers". shake em, baby, shake em!

There is only 5 or 6 go-go/disco bars and about 3 freelance bars all within a few hundred feet, so not really much of a crawl even if you hit them all. (-; Seriously, you can pop your head in them all in about 10 minutes flat.

I just spent a week in Sagada and Mount Data in the Mountain regions,Great Scenery,Cool weather But Bring your own type of places,Temprature was cool 10-18 C or fifties to Seventies F.Local women were kinda Tribal.But I brought my own So I was fine.

like anywhere in the phils, there is 'action', however, it may not be of the quantity or quality of other places more noted for carnal activities. there are several ktv's, including one run by a australian fellow i know (can't remember the name of it) but his wife works it (she is not a gro or anything but an assistant manager) it is close to the bus terminal. i dont want to say the guys name in public but if you really are interested pm me and i give you a few more details. from what this fellow told me (and what i have seen personally) most of the action is at these ktv's the girls usually freelance.
there is a big high rise hotel in town, big chinese symbol onthe side of it, (cant remember the name) but near the hotel are several small bars, mostly filipinos go in to them but if they see a foreigner the girls (gros) will bum rush you. this is also an overnight truck stop and lots of hookers in small cafe's catering to the truckers, i wouldn't tag any of them though, too used and too burnt out on shabu.


regards


spamhog

Tungsten, if you are going there to meet someone, why are you asking for the "action"? I've never been to Butuan, but I'm pretty sure that this is a relatively small place with few foreigners. Be careful about playing around -- the walls have eyes.

Butuan is a good hopping off point for the islands of Camiguin and Sarigao. You're also close to Cagayan de Oro, which is a pretty nice little college city.

We'll be looking forward to your followup reports.

Gentlemen, the walls indeed do have ears, as well as eyes, understrand something about the Phils especially places like Butuan, but also Bislig, Surigao, Davao, Iligan and Cagayan, all which I've visited, lived in or mongered in. FROM THE VERY SECOND YOU ARRIVE AT THE TERMINAL/BUS STATION OR IN A PRIVATE CAR within the hour EVERYONE knows who you are, what country you are from, who you are here to see where you are staying, etc. etc. If you go out amongering, THEY WILL KNOW, understand that there ARE NO SECRETS in the Philippines, people in general LOVE to gossip, they have an incredible intelligence network that would make the CIA and the British MI 5 green with envy. First line of defense is the taxi driver, do you know how many of them are CDIG? (Civilian defense intelligence group)
or police informants? Then you got to understand the "relative" network, all her cousins, uncles, aunts, tenth cousins five times removed and their clan ALL KNOW ALL ABOUT YOU before you get there. Most of this is geared for people to make money, guide you to certain resuraunts/hotels, even "casa's"
the only thing you can do is give false info about your name, country of origin, who you are here to see, etc.,to throw them off the track. only lasts long enough until they can compare notes and figure it out, so why bother?

The suggest to go to CDO and party it up is a good one, very nice place with lots of little bars, a nice mall and you can get some western style food.

Good luck

as SH notes, chismus (gossip) is something at which Filipinos excel (along with sleeping, singing, smiling and babymaking). Even in big towns with lots of roundeye (e.g. Angeles), people you had never met knew many details about you.Waitresses in a abr you had never visited knew what you drank and where you stay LOL

Not really. For Siargao islands (where the best surf beaches are located) you depart from Surigao city as Butuan is on the wrong side of the penninsula. For Camiguin the departure point is near CDO, which is a much bigger and more happening city than Butuan. I flew to Butuan once (on a 737) when flight to Surigao (Fokker F27 that PAL used to fly) would not take surfboard but hired a car duirect to Surigao so I never sawq much of Butuan. Surigao used to have a couple rundown girlie bars but not really worth a visit. I ALWAYS brought a babae from somewhere else when I went to Siargao. You can fly directly to the island nowadays instead of the 4 hour trip in a large banca that used to be reqwuired to reach General Luna (called "GL" by everybody). Lovely beaches and isolation.

Amen.

My wife is from a small province and it is exactly as described here.

Be a saint while you are there (provinces) visiting wife material, do not do anything you would not want the relatives to know about - because they will.

Never underestimate how much you are being observed.

You are wise to BYO to Boracay as IMHO there is little there to choose from mongering wise, oh it can be done but not like in your average PI locale. Check back into some posts I put up in June/July when I took mrs spamhog there. I think your best bet is Cocomangas shooters bar.(I stayed at their bungalows just behind the bar) nice and private, native style with a nice veranda and view of the ocean. I would check out a travel agent in Manila for special rates from some of the resorts, can save you lots if you book that way.

I'm not sure what you mean by "broadening her horizons" if you mean a 3 somes then I would say maybe if your lady gives indication she is into that sort of thing, I've noticed a lot of foreigner females, European types, who were hitting on mrs spamhog, she doesn't go that way. Soem of this funny business was at a disco called new wave.

Other than that every time she went into the CR a few of the local wenches would come over and flaunt themselves, these girls didn't merit much in the way of tempation, looked kind of scraggly to me...but...each to his own.

Hello,

I am a scuba diving by day and monger by night. I have been to Puerto Galara (Sabang Beach) and found it excellent.

I am looking for a new place and I was considering Coron. Has anyone been mongering in Coron? What is it like? Any advice on places to stay?

Snow

Cocomangas bungalows are NOISY! I stayed there for a couple nights on my first trip to Boracay ('95) but quickly bailed to quieter digs. I am probably more sensitive to noise when trying to sleep than most, but be aware before booking that it is not quiet.

I liked Lorenzo's Villas at the South end of the island (past Whiite Beach) better (but I had a lovely with me and was not hunting).

I think there is more action in Sabang Bay - very close. They have 4 go-go bars and if you bring a girl to your room, she will stay overnight. That is my exerience from November 2004.
Have fun!

Hanqe[/QUOTE]I think Sabang Beach is great for divers and mongers. The diving is good and very easy to access with each dive returning to the shop as the dive sites are so close.

There are about 5-6 go-go bars, all pretty much the same. Broadway has a bar in the front with pool tables and a couple of girls no pressure, but got thru the obsure door at the back left and you are in another world. There were about 40 girls and about 3 guys when I arrived about 9:30pm. After a few drinks I selected the two in the photo and took them back to my hotel the Big Apple. They were both young and not that experienced but nice enough. They wanted one to go first and then the other but I insisted on a three some and I swapped back and forth with them for about an hour starting with a double BBBJ. The one of the left has really long hair past herr bum and a great arse so I enjoyed taking her from behind. They did not really want to play with each other but when the one on right was on top of me, the one of the left went down and stroked my balls which I enjoyed.

I eventually shot my load in the one of the right and after a shower she complained of a sore throat and wanted to go. I like the think that was my fault. I think paid 4000 for the two of them. Next time I will take my time a little as there was some real honeys in Broadway. The next night I was walking past and got talking to a differnt two just at the front near the walking street and they were both very sexy and wanted me to take them both. Unfortunately, I was out of cash so couldn't.

That is one important thing about Sabang Beach. There is no ATM machine so take plenty of Cash. You can pay for you diving and hotel with you credit card plus I think 4% or 6% but not the drinks or girls. There is a very dodgey French guy in the Paradise restaurant who will give cash from Visa but only use him as a last resort.

I was there in early May 2006 and I am current planning a trip in mid-April this year. I will right more in my next report about the bars.

Snow

The bars and clubs I can remember are Sun Set, Broadway, Village, Centrum and Big Apple. I think there are one or two more. Sun Set is a one end of the walking street and Big Apple is at the other end no more that 500 metres apart. I talked about Broadway on my previous post.

Sunset was the first club I started in at about 8pm. It has been a long flight to Manila, then car and boat ride and I was ready for a few drinks. I was early and the only guy in the bar. Not the nicest bar I have to say but Joanna sat next to me within a few minutes and organised a drink. She made me feel relaxed, we enjoyed a couple of drinks together, me beer and she white wine. I was wearing shorts with no underwear and she soon had her hand under my shorts leg and was holding my nob. We drank and chatted for about 45 minutes while she stroked me before we headed back to my room. As I had not had sex for two weeks I was ready. She was great and we had lots of fun. Of course I shot my load fairly quickly then we showered together. I was starving by this time so we went for dinner, had a great talk, allowing me to find out about mongering in Phil, her family and lots of interesting cultural things about Filipino people.

After dinner we went to Centrum which has only just opened. Centrum is a bar with a band, big comfortable long couches and some secluded places as well. There is two bands there every night, both were very good or they were when I was there in May-06. The waitresses were friendly responding to my nods for more drinks from across the rooms. All in all a very relaxing start to my first evening. Joanna and I left late and went back to the room for round two. After a few hours sleep I woke with a boner and I woke her for round three. In the morning, she was friendly and nice and left about 7pm saying she was catching to boat back to Batangas at 9:15. I ended up bumping into her again at about 8:30 near the boat where she had just bought her ticket and we had breakfast together. Waitresses from Centrum are also available and also look out for the freelancers dancing together or watching from the door.

I never went into Villiage but I heard that is where the younger girls go. I assume that means 18-19. Next time for sure.

I picked up the Lisa in one of the other go-go bars I cant remember the name of. She was tall, about 5' 8'' and the tiniest little arse I had ever seen. I got talking to her at the bar before she had to go and dance. She was shy and quiet, a little too quiet for me, but what a tiny little body. I ended up seeing her two nights but the lack of conversation was a boring for me. The sex was great and she was really getting into it. I paid 1500 hundred to her, 500 for the bar and 1000 for the girl.

Christine I met in the Big Apple bar. There is no club, just the 24 hour bar at the front where some freelance girls hang out. She was sitting at the table next to me in the middle of the afternoon when i got chatting to her. I bought her a drink, we chatted, she asked me if I had a TV in my room, and we were soon back in my room. She was nice, lovely smile and attentive to my needs starting with a BBBJ and then lots of different positions. I also paid her 1500 but maybe 1000 was enough.

Apart from diving, mongering, eating seafood in the good restaurants, and lying by the pool, there is not much else to do in Sabang Beach. There really isnt a beach as such, because the water pretty much comes right up to the buildings. There is a very good massage parlour just to the left and behind Sun Set. I had two good massages there sort of a cross between and Swedish and Thai massage. I didnt have extras but I think I could have asked as there were some private rooms.

Finally, there are two floating bars about 100metres off shore. A little row boat will take you there from outside the Big Apple and I think on Thursdays at 4pm, there is a wet T-Shirt competition not to be missed. Watch out for the chalk boards advertisements on the footpath.

Anyone heading to Sabang around 9-14 April, let me know.

TiTi:

You might also check out the red cocoanut hotel, it is a bit more upscale and
if memory serves me right a big swimming pool, beach bar etc. It is almost in the smack middle of the island (You can walk the entire length of Boracay in about two hours). Cocomangas shooters bar is at the far end, the best place for mongering freelancers etc. But I have to agree with Surfer, staying at the
hotel cottages can get a bit noisy since the live band at the bar stays "on" until the wee hours. But consider the convenence of slipping a third party out of the bar back to the room in a matter of a fifty yard walk.

There is a tourist center in Sabang where they charge you about 7% for every transaction. Outrageous, but worth not having to haul a lot of cash around, a big no no when travel.
There is a 2% charged ATM in Puerto Gallera which is 15 minutes away on jeepney. I used it to the last two times until one day my transaction was halted because of machine error. When I checked my account 2 days later, the money was deducted from it. I tried many ways to get it back, but you know the system there, it was a futile effort.

Got my Butuan sweeties auntie in Singapore chatting with me almost every day. She says maybe me and the pinay shouldn't stroll around the town, the girl will get a "poor reputation". Oh, so what does that mean? Every pinay that hangs out with a foreigner is dirty/bad/ a hooker? Generalization at it's finest. I said to her what about the young girls in Phils who have kids from their pinoy bf's. The guys are nowhere to be found after the kids are born, but that's ok. Huh, yeah right. What a crock of shit. My sweetie don't give a damn and either do I. There probably jealous their daughter doesn't have a foreigner friend.

I asked her if she can go to CDO with me. She asked the folks. The folks said ok as long as you bring a friend. Cool. Funny shit. I told her we will get 1 room (probably not) and her and her friend in 1 bed and me in the other. She says, "what, no kantut? And puts on the angry face in yahoo. LOL. 2 months to go. Yeehaw:)

Yeah, that sounds typical, how old is Auntie anyhow, maybe she wants in on the action? Understand that strolling around town with a foreigner in some small backwater (Butuan really is that) is gonna raise some eyebrows, if you understood some Visayan you would hear things like "Look at so and so, she thinks she is "Myaman" now (Rich) coz of her foreigner, she's just as poor as the rest of us." And probably a few other things like speculation on the size of your penis (Lugai d'hako ba?). Jealousy, envy and sometimes Filipino odd ball humor. Also remmeber that they love gossip and scandal, she is sure to be the center of it for awhile, knowing that she is gonna screw you sideways.

Shrug all this off and dont get too teed off at "Auntie". I usually laugh when I hear this type of chatter, Mrs Spamhog is enough of a spitfire to give them hell or her "dragon" look.

ALWAYS KEEP YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR.

THE WORLD IS A DILBERT CARTOON.

Malaybalay

Getting there from Cagayan de Oro

Agora Bus terminal (there is another terminal for busses going other directions) has busses going South to Davao. There are parking spots for the busses, with signboards announcing their destinations. There are air-conditioned busses and standard (no air con) busses. If you have luggage, the guard or conductor will take them and lock them in the compartment. Busses depart regularly and all night. Departure times may vary between every 10-30 minutes depending on time of day. The conductor will come by and hand you a ticket, tell him your destination. Later he comes by and collects the fare. It’s P 105 to Malaybalay on the air-con bus. It’s not like in the old days, where you might ride with chickens. The air-con busses are sometimes too cold. While riding consider that the words “bus plunge Philippines” occurs 105,000 times in a search on Google.com. The red beans you see drying in the sun is coffee.

I took a non-pro I met on FH to Palawan for a few days of fun in the sun, and took the opportunity to do some snooping. It should be noted that I was with a non-pro, and while she knows I monger and actually is ok with it, I did not dabble while I was with her as I wanted to reap the benefits of a nice GFE with a 25 y/o tightbody student looking to get away for a free vacay.

We booked the Legend hotel in PP, which at under $50 per night is actually a decent deal, as it includes free breakfast, free in room internet, and wireless in the lobby. The amenities were sufficient, and they did not question my having my girlfriend share the room, no one asked questions.

The first night there we had dined at Christala on Rizal Ave. This place sucked, the wait staff never smiled not even attempted to provide good service. No running water in the bathroom, it only offered a view of the street traffic. I strongly recommend Kalui further down Rizal towards the airport. Great food, great ambience, great service, great prices. You need a reservation before 7:30 PM.

Regarding mongering: there is definitely pussy to be had in the right places. While nowhere near AC or Burgos in Makati, I recommend Copacabana which is off the beaten path near the airport but very nice (no running water in the bathroom though, but seems clean). We got there early, but saw a few girls wearing numbers in a sofa area with a TV. I asked the male bartender about the upstairs, which he told me is a VIP room where you can take a lady for a price of 2000P or so.

Also, we went to a place called Chikababes on Rizal near Kalui that has a really great band that plays after 10:30PM. Prices on beers are not bad, and it has three VIP rooms with a nice sofa and KTV machine. The place is a dive though with no running water in the bathroom, which was more dilapidated than most you'll find even in Korea. The VIP rooms are 1000, 1500, and 2000P and I only saw the latter, but it is reminscent of the upstairs VIP rooms you see in Burgos. I also asked if girls can be barfined, but was told that this is not possible. All in all I did not partake, but I am sure that fun can be had.

Also, on the other end of Rizal (far end from airport) there is a side road to the left that has some small out of the way bars. I peaked inside, and saw the tell-tale signs of a KTV/juicy joint.

I never tried anything there, but dropping the names of these places to the locals got me sufficient reply to confirm these are RLD houses. Hopefully this info will be of use to someone.

As far as tours go, the hotel offers three that I tried:

- The Underground River: From 7AM - 5PM, this is mostly transportation time to and from the park, and it is better done if you are already on the north side of the island. Aside from the awesome underground river you can fend off wild macaque monkeys and play with giant monitor lizards (one licked my ankles, freaking out my gf, lol).

- The City Tour: [i]Absolutely worthless[/i]. It's basically a tour of souvenir shops, with little historical or touristic value. You will go to the crocodile farm which is cool, and you will go to a nice villa, but I would skip this one unless you have absolutely nothing else to do.

- Honda Bay Tour: My favorite, this goes from 1PM to 6PM, and is lovely. You'll boat out to Snake Island for some sun and snorkeling (the fish are gorgeous) and then to another island for some coral reef snorkeling. Being on the water all afternoon was very romantic and got my gf wet in every way.

Sorry to be so light on the mongering info. Hopefully this info will be enough to give someone a springboard to get his wick wet.

Cheers,

[QUOTE=Spam Hog]TiTi:

You might also check out the red cocoanut hotel, it is a bit more upscale and
if memory serves me right a big swimming pool, beach bar etc. It is almost in the smack middle of the island (You can walk the entire length of Boracay in about two hours). Cocomangas shooters bar is at the far end, the best place for mongering freelancers etc. But I have to agree with Surfer, staying at the
hotel cottages can get a bit noisy since the live band at the bar stays "on" until the wee hours. But consider the convenence of slipping a third party out of the bar back to the room in a matter of a fifty yard walk.


Enjoy

Too Jades:

Great info

Thanks you have put to bed a great deal of speculation for me. I'll be there in late April after a week further north doing a client shoot and was looking at all the tours you noted.

Its nice to know I may not be as alown as I thought I may have been. Although in a town that large you would think that there would be something available. I'm going to be staying in the Fleuris which is a little more expensive, but from reports should be OK.

Regards and thanks

I walked by Fleuris several times and it does indeed look very nice from the outside, and it within walking distance to Rizal. There is not much down there, save a Dunkin Donuts, the NCCC Mall (aka Walmart), a Shakey's et cetera, but it is the center of town.

Have fun, and report back!

[QUOTE=Columpuss]Koala

There is a tourist center in Sabang where they charge you about 7% for every transaction. Outrageous, but worth not having to haul a lot of cash around, a big no no when travel.

There is a 2% charged ATM in Puerto Gallera which is 15 minutes away on jeepney. I used it to the last two times until one day my transaction was halted because of machine error. When I checked my account 2 days later, the money was deducted from it. I tried many ways to get it back, but you know the system there, it was a futile effort.[/QUOTE]You have to complain in YOUR bank. They will cancel the transaction.

This is the "other areas" thread. Please try to put a city name in your "title". I'm sure if I go back I can find out where the Fleuris is, but ......

Thanks but curious. My logic told me that, how could someone give me back the money which a middleman took from me. wouldn't my bank have to do a lot of work for a couple of Franklins on my behalf. I figure that they would send me back to the PIs. Have u had similar exp. and your bank saved u?

My agenda has changed. Going to Bangkok for a couple weeks. Met 2 cousins on the net. Nice, classy women. Will go hunting when I'm not touring with them. Will head to davao for a few days, then bus it to butuan to see the 19 year old. Don't think we'll be doing any humping, she doesn't seem up to it, but you never know. Moms sposed to be hanging over our asses so that's no good. Head to cagayan to see another chat mate, not the best looking, but I don't think she will bang either. Hope to find prospects in the bars and malls.

So guys, most of you have travelled around phils by bus with no problems? Just maiking sure everything is ok. The bigger thing is figuring out how to get money around. Don't want to put a load in my sock. LOL. They have atms in cdo? Are money exchangers honest?

Tungsten Chief: I have taken the bus many times from Davao up through the Bukidnon valley to CDO and back, NEVER any problems. AC bus is under 500 you can get it at the terminal or out in Matina. I would suggest getting the 9 AM "Delux" bus (A/C) and a bit more leg room, only four stops and you should get in CDO before 6 PM. Reason I say this as the only DANGER you have is the hairpin turns and sharp embankments in the Phils, you really dont want to be in a bus at night with all the hairpin turns, no street lights etc. You will find ATM's all over Davao, and if you need to you can access cash advance through equitable bank on recto st for Up to P60,000 (About $1,200) with a few copies of your passport under Master charge or Visa. Once again Plenty of ATM's in CDO, I've found my international credit cards work best in BPI ATMS.

When in Davao you can check out a few mongering places like the moonlight club or Sirena out in matina across from the sabong arena (If you do say hi to my two "GF"s the sisters Nicole and Sarah. I wonder if they are still working there???? used to do three somes with 'em.

CDO has it's share of mongering and pickup places, look for Bada Bing for bar fines, Club Exotica and Mojo's for freelancers.

Good luck

Ouch. The 200 min bus ride from Li-loan (cebu Island) to Cebu city just about killed me.

A long lost friend named GE said he drove this route and it is very attractive. Still not sure if he was talking about the scenery or his riding partner.

I miss Mindanao.

Columpuss, in the USA we have what's called *regulation E* that states the bank that holds your account is responsible for authorizing your transaction, hence they have to refund your money if they can't proove where it went. Usually you can get back whatever you want once, second time they'll cancel your account.

Thanks capt

The commoners always get screwed either way.

This isn't much of a report, (I was with my fiance the whole time, okay? ), but more of a "Thanks Guys" for all the great reports others have posted.

In Ozamis I did get a legit massage from a pretty young lady. No idea if more is available; no idea of the cost, (my fiance paid for the massage). It was a great massage! When I was on my stomache she was on the table, stradling me with her legs and pushing on my back.

We took the super-ferry from Cebu City to Ozamis. We were in a big room with bunk beds; I was one of maybe two or three non-filipinos in the whole room. But it was perfectly safe. (Maybe because my Sweetie was with me? )

By the way. Since I was with my fiance the whole time, I did not get many flirtatious looks, but in the Ayala mall in Cebu, in the food court, some young ladies did still look at me with interest. (I am 50 years old, and sorta fat! )

I think my big challenge, if we move to PI, will be how NOT to cheat on my Sweetie with so many other young lovelies being available. I know this is an odd question for this forum, but how do you married guys keep your little head from taking over? I guess I will have to take occaisional weekend trips out-of-town.

April 1 closing in. Bypassing Thailand, will go to Phils only. Arrive in Davao Monday night for a week stay. Looking to find a good dentist there. Don't want to dish out to the "gold diggers" here in Canada. Then it's off to Butuan to see the honey.

I guess her family is having domestic problems right now. The father just lost his job as a security guard, for whatever reason, I don't know. The mother, my sweetie, and her 4 year old sister have gone to stay with relatives. That don't sound good either. The man of the house there is a drunk. She said her mom's trying to find a place for them. Hope she don't run back to her husband. I guess the brother left a couple years ago, dad was slapping him around too. But, hey, no divorce in the Phils, right?

Her cousin was at the cafe with her the other day. 20 years old, pregnant, no dad in the picture. Another girl loses the joy of being young and carefree. No condoms there? Too much money. Will ok, you can say she didn't have to spread her legs. I'm starting to think the Phils was built by the women.

Interesting question Teenie, the answer varies from guy to guy. IT IS TEMPTING, I mean everywhere I go literally women are flirting and some are bolder than others, handing me their phone number etc. The hell of it is, MOST OF THESE BIMBOS KNOW I'M MARRIED, as they see me with the Mrs all the time, recently, we've been out with some of the other board memebers here to Sunflower and a few other clubs, it seems that the girls openly flirting with the guys (so they noticed) who have "Others". It is sort of a game that they play here, see who can bang your man, lure him away or whatever. In Thailand, the situation was much worse, as Thai 'yings' enjoy screwing somebodies other and then laughing about it to the GF or wife later

"I saw your husbands penis hahahaha." They gain "face" by getting you to do them and the GF/Wife loses face, this is what she gets mad at, NOT THE FACT YOU SCREWED ANOTHER BUT THE LOSS OF FACE. To some degree this is the same in the Phils. See these girls look at your wife/GF all dressed up nice, new clothes, jewelry, out shopping and they think to themselves...If I was balling that guy, it would be me with the diamond ring, gold, new shoes and a pocket full of pesos spending money at the mall.

Now it comes down to you the person, Frankly, I've screwed so many different women from so many different walks of life in so many different countries after awhile it gets boring, even the kinky ones. If you find one you are SEXUALLY COMPATIBLE WITH, that is a big part of staying faithful. I'm not saying that you should get married to someone just because she is great in the sack but THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT, in many marriages that fail (Not just Asian but back in "the world" US/UK/Eu/) what happens? Sexual incompatibility, one partner gets frustrated and starts banging someone else.

So I come to the realization that having a fling with one of these ladies would be pointless, it would just get me in trouble and probably wouldn't satisfy me or if she did probably wouldn't measure up in other way to "The boss" so....

but of course the little devil that sits on my shoulder constantly sticks his pitchfork in my withered old balls everytime I see a cute one who smiles and flirts...I've learned not to listen...so far.

good luck

SH, another great post. Had me laughing too -- imaging the Hot Babe, your woman, the pitchfork....

What do you think about this? When I chat with a new Filipina online, many will ask if I have a gf in the Philippines before they ask if I have a wife or gf at my country of residence (in Asia).

Of course it may simply be that the lady in question isn't as comopolitan as us and just isn't used to thinking outside the box.

In your case, competition is likely a motivating factor -- as you describe in your post. When you walk around with a woman on your arm, you'll get a lot more looks than if you were alone. I find that true in any country I've been to.

Why do they ask about a GF not a wife???? Good question, and very timely I might add. Xman why do you ask the girl if she has a BF, (or do you?) do you ask about a husband??? Well same- same probably.

The other Night Mrs Spamhog is teaching one of her neices to chat, literally the first time this young lady was online. Had some poor shmoe on the other end who had been to the PI years ago, so he said, the wife tells the neice "Ask him if he had Filipina GF before." Later I asked her why she told the girl to ask that? "Well we wanted to know about this guy." the reply.
on elaborating, I understood that the response to the question, even a simple yes or no relayed a lot about the guy. His experience, and truthfulness
The assumption is if you have been to the PI before you have had a Filipina, therefore you know something about 'em. If not they know you're probably a liar (they're right) or some other extenuating circumstance like you were married and being faithful (yeah right). They also assume that you are single not married that is why you are chatting.

Filipinas are curious about "us", also remember it is best to give them and honest answer telling them you had a Filipina GF before is not necessarily a bad thing in their eyes.

P.S. That little devil (horny little bastard with the pitchfork) will ALWAYS be on my shoulder, probably on your too eh?

regards

Spamhog.

SH, I don't like to lie, and when I try I'm not very good at it. My solution is to turn things into a joke.

Do you have a girlfried? "Yes, too many. I'm trying to give some of them away."
WHere is your girlfriend? "Which one?"
How many time s have you been to the Philippines? "Two......too many times."

Or if it's me asking the questions...

"Where is your boyfriend, did you scare him away?"

As for the horny bastard with pitchfork...him and his twin brother each as his own shoulder to ride on.

Will be arriving in Davao April 1 early morning. Still deciding if I'm gonna stay in Davao for a few days or go right to Butuan. Have to find a cheap hotel for a couple of weeks then I would like to move up to the Almont resort for a short stint. Want to get some quality drinking time in Cagayan too. Does anyone know of decent hotels at a low price in Cagayan and Butuan.

The last time I stayed in Mindanao was at the gf's place, no money spent for lodging. I might go to her place for the last 2 weeks of my vacation, not quite sure. It will be a nice surprise, but then again I can hear the questions already. Why didn't you let us come and get you in Davao? Where did you go? They think I'm 14 years old, can't be alone, someone might grab me. LOL. This time I'm going to have fun.

If in Cagayan try riverview hotel, about P800 a night, right across the street is a "Uba Uba" (topless go go) bar called Bada Bing. There is another just up the street right across from the Swiss deli resturaunt same price, can't rememebr the name of it for the life of me. Across from Club Mojo is Dynasty hotel, a little more like P1200 but nicer rooms. Check out these disco's... great pick up places, Mojo's, Excite and Lllamdo's.

Good luck

Tungsten, in Butuan try the Inland Resort which I believe is the nicest place in town. But, beware. When I was there, they charged the entire stay on my credit card right up front! At reception, they asked for my credit card and I assumed that they would just put a hold on it, which is standard procedure everywhere. I couldnt' believe they did that. Sure enough, I left after three days although I paid for four. Didn't have time to get a refund so I got fucked out of a night ($60 I think).

This is the reason I dont use Asia Travel or those other cheap travel agencies. If you change plans, you're screwed. I prepaid for four nights in a hotel in Bangkok once and when I got to the hotel, they didn't have a room. It was midnight and I had been traveling twenty four hours so I was livid! Next day I called the agency ( actually, I think it was Asia Travel again) and they started giving me a hard time. I knew their offices were by Lumpini Park, downtown, so I told them I was coming the fuck over to their offices, right now. Within seconds, they agreed to refund my credit card and sure enough, a few days later it was credited back.

Many unexpected bumps in the road when it comes to international travel.

Thanks Dashing Don and Spamhog for the info. Don, the Almont resort is the same as the one you're talking about. The Almont Inland resort is the full title. I inquired over the net and they even said they want the money the same time I book my room. To hell with that!

My best bet then is to stay in CDO since many of you say Butuan isn't really an exciting place. I'll stay at the resort for a few nights when i go to Butuan and see my sweetie. Hopefully when I meet her mother, I can persuade her to let my girl come with me to Cagayan for a weekend.

I'm into running. Just wondering how the sidewalks and streets are. Crowded? Is there a gym in Cagayan. A real gym, I don't mean my bed where most of the exercise will take place.)

Tungsten, I tried to PM you but box full or not accepting PM, dont know, try to PM if you can, I will likely be in CDO March 29 thru April 2nd 3rd,(?) if you want to get together I can show you around, I will have the "Boss" with me so mongering is out. There are several gyms but none of them are what you would find in other areas (including Davao) there is one not far from Riverview Hotel up above the McDonalds, like P20 a session, just a bunch of weights in a room, they have a fan, lots of dust and no showers. If you want I can take you to the gym of one of the few Grand Master Arnisdores (Stick fighter) across the river in CDO. He teaches some Japanese martial arts as well as Arnis.

Winding down, only 7 days to go till I hit Phils. Still deciding where to hang my hat first. Davao for the first few days? Straight to Butuan maybe? The sweetie there says I can stay at grannies place. The good thing: don't really have to dish out much money to stay. Buy some food or give them 5000p or something like that. The bad thing: could be boring(probably), will they question me a lot? will we understand each other?? I definitely want to be in Cagayan for drinking weekends.

I ended up ditching my chat mate in CDO, too clingy. Made it sound like we're gonna be together every single day. Wants to meet me at the bus depot, go to the bars and whatever else. I put her on ignore when she told me she would check out rates at hotels in CDO. It was a nice gesture, but when she asked me for some cash to travel around doing it, it just turned me right off.

If you are gonna stay at Grannies consider a few things, one, you are probably gonna be in a small ramshackle house, no AC, no hot water, no cable TV and lots of mosquitos, bedbugs, roaches and other crawlies. It doesn't bother me to sleep in such places as I have enjoyed hospitality from my relatives all over Mindanao and Cebu and some are worst (better) than others, kinda like going on a camping trip or fishin' trip back in the world. Of course you would spring for groceries, best to give Granny or somebody the money, with P1000 they will come back from the market with a truck load of food whereas you or I would probably come up short. Buy 'em a sack of rice(P1000) buy some canned goods in a grocery, get them some ice cream, a big gooey choclate cake and some coke. Let them get fish, tuna, malasugie and chicken. ( be careful of eating pork from a mercado!)

Second point, are you gonna hump sweetie in the other room, with granny and asorted relatives there listening thru the paper mache walls? I think not. (well you might but I personally wouldn't feel comfortable with it).

My suggestion is that you spend a few days in Davao, decompress and acclimate for your trip north, check out the few mongering outlets in Davao and generally take it easy. Same with CDO, make an overnight or two stop and sample what it has to offer before going to Butuan. I will be heading to CDo this week, give you an updated heads up on hotels.

I know about the creepy crawlies. When we went to the relatives in Surigao, I got bitten by the fleas the cats dragged in. Not to mention ants hovering for snacks we had out. Mosquitoes, mice, not a big deal to me.

The girl will be staying at home while I hang my hat at granny's. If we do engage in some bedroom antics, I will stay at a hotel for a few days. She's kind of hinting she don't want to. We get to talking about it, but i don't bring it up every single time we chat. I'm a nice guy, if it doesn't happen, so be it, I'm not gonna persuade her into something she's not comfortable doing. Right now, she's a good friend. My connection to see this part of the Philippines. Anyway, we will see what happens in person. I would still like her to come to CDO with me for a drinking weekend, it all depends on mom , of course. Once her folks meet me and see I'm an alright guy, hopefully everything will be ok. If her mom comes to CDO, that's ok also, as long as she lets me and sweetie partake in some night life.

A question in regards to changing money. Will you get less buying the cash there?? The rate in my country should be higher, you think??

In Butuan right now in a newly renovated hotel: Almond City Hotel, next to Rizal Park. Dbls for 1400 ps incl bkfst, wireless internet and a free airport pick up. Don't bother about grandma's place. I shag my honeyko here at daytime in the hotel and no one cares from the family as long as shes' back before dark...lol. Did the same with a honey on CDO and Davao....giving face to the family!

Rizal Park, Butuan: heaps of little freelancers for 400 Ps shorttime after dark. That's fine for the sleeper once honey-ko is back home. lol

Would not travel Davao-Butuan by road: long trip and daylight robbers.

You will almost always get better exchange for cash by using a money changer in the Philippines. Shop around for best rates. Provinces money changers rates are usually less good than in the big cities where competition can be strong. In Manila change in Makati Greenbelt / Glorietta (Sarkies) or Ermita.

Well I'm not flying in so I guess it's the bus for me. Don't know the 'hit rate" on the buses this year, but I don't think the odds can be anywhere near 50-50. It can happen anywhere at anytime, no control over it. It's probably a lot safer by bus than taking a private van. Let the chips fall where they may. A foreigner will be left almost naked, I'm sure , as the thieves salivate over their sudden fortune. Anyone else have thoughts on this??

We moved onto Peurto Galera next by catching the bus at City State Tower Hotel on Mabini street. We paid about 1100 pesos for a round trip ticket that included transportation out to the island on the C-Kat ferry and back. We stayed at Villa Sabang Beach Resort (vsabang03@yahoo.com) on the east end of Sabang beach. A guy named Jon owns and operates it, and he was a great host with a great staff. He had everything you need in a resort, including a PADI dive shop. I think we paid between 1200 or 1400 pesos a night. After a good nap me and my friend were up and ready to hit the strip. So off we go to our first stop at the Philippine Village Disco. There are six discos in Sabang now. All the clubs being called discos, but none of them being discos in the traditional sense. Plain and simple, they’re just girly bars that you can barfine from. Philippine Village had the largest, most attractive selection of girls on the island. Lots of 7 thru 10’s. Bar-fine: 2000 pesos. There had to be at least 100 plus girls there that night, two of which jumped on me immediately. They were ok, but I like to do the choosing, not be chosen if you know what I mean. While the two who adopted me were on the stage dancing, I slipped another girl whom I was interested in my black business card with my info, had another beer and left my friend to his on devices. He seemed happy with his selection anyway. I quickly checked out two more clubs. The Pink Panther Disco. Bar-fine: 700 to bar then 1000 to girl at your hotel, and Centrium Disco. Bar-fine: 2000. Pink Panther had some 7 thru 10’s so I had a beer, chatted up the girls for a while and left. Marivic, the girl I gave my card to at Village had been texting me. She agreed to meet me later after work if she wasn’t bar-fined.

I went to Eddies, a 24hr restaurant on the beach that serves some fairly decent food to get a bite to eat. A lot of free-lancer action at Eddies. I chatted up and exchanged numbers with a few girls. I made plans to meet one the next day for an afternoon session at my hotel. After a few more beers I paid the tab and went back to my hotel. Marivic texted me an hour later and said she was finished work. I told her what resort I was in and waited patiently for her arrival. When she arrived I popped the cork on a bottle of wine, gave her a San Miguel (she didn’t care for wine like so many Filipina’s don’t) sat out front near the beach and took a few minutes to get to know my new piece of ass. 21 years old, one kid, from Laguna, saving money for college, not married…bla bla bla… Ok it’s time to take her to the room and give her a test ride. She had ok skills. A little weak in the BJ department because she kept raking her teeth along my shaft, but she was ok with multiple positions. We enjoyed three good sessions and she stayed until three the next afternoon. I gave her 1000 pesos and sent her on her way. Started receiving the typical Filipina texts from her immediately…….”I had a good time, I like you a lot, I miss you already, When are you coming back, when can I see you again,” and so on and so forth. How you deal with them is up to you, but I usually tell them that maybe I’ll stop by to see them during my bar-hopping if I’m not busy with one of my other friends. That kinda lets them know that I have or will have other women in my life. They will still text you to death though, just like Marivic did me the whole time I was there.

Diving, snorkeling, Island hopping, or shagging ass that you had setup the previous night are the day-time activities in Sabang. Guess which one I was actively engaged in? Yup, you guessed right. Shagging ass that I setup the previous night. I texted Joey, one of the girls I met at Eddies the night before and asked her to come over. Fifteen minutes later I’m all assholes and elbows with Joey in my hotel room. She’s 26 and knows her shit in the bed. One session, a little conversation, I give her 1000 pesos and out the door she goes. Found out later she worked at Sunset Disco as their starlet dancer. I’m fairly tired now so I call my friend to see what he’s up to and to tell him I’m gonna take a nap before heading out that night. Of course Joey is texting me all the usual shit over the phone….bla bla bla…yada yada yada!!! More later

I just returned from a trip CEBU to CDO and back again thought I'd put a few things down as I gather more than a few of you are contemplating a trip to the place or close by, staying with Filipino hosts and traveling by whatever means are available, namely a bus. Well hopefully some details herein will give you some idea what you are in for.

Monday last 9 a.m found me and Mrs SH onboard the day ferry to CDO, economy class only coz it is a day trip and I wouldn't be sleeping, otherwise the noisy kids, noisier adults and animals would drive you insane. P560 my budget concious wife shelled out each as this was a combined business trip and also going to graduation several younger family members. I spent most of the trip in the restuarant or salon reading a book. We pull into CDo at 5:30 Pm thereabouts and head out. Now I suggest you get a taxi right there at the
exit gate, play it safe but my queen of the koriput (cheap) will not use them as they dont do a meter but charge accordingly, so we get to wade through the enthusiastic crowd of touts, drivers, porters and well wishers to go outside and grab a jeepney across town. Now I literally run the gauntlet, we go into purse snatch/pickpocket mode and Mrs SH sidles up nest to me, her purse under her arm, next to my body and I put an arm around her shoulder should some idiot try a grab for her earings which are cheap platic but may try for anyhow, my wallet is in my sock and the single bag is on my shoulder, in perfect position to bring it down on someone's head should they try for it or me. A big Filipino guard is at the exit, literally beating back the crowd with a big stick, one guy sees me and rushes forward, probably a taxi driver, the guard whacks the guy in the chest HARD, he staggers back in the crush of people and would have fell but for everyone pressing close.

Personally, I would have like to stay around and watch the Filipino babe ruth
whack people with a stick but Mrs SH rushes me into a jeepney and we head off for Agora station a few blocks away. We catch the bus to Butuan, not AC'd but only a few mile journey on the outskirts of CDO city. Total P30 each.
We get off about thirty minutes later after bulling our way thru traffic. Well the whole clan is at a certain widowed aunt's house for the big feast which consists of a tub of rice, a lechon Baboy and Bihon, spaghetti made with sweet sauce.etc. We bring two chickens and a bunch of soda as our part. People are already eating. The house isn't much by our standards, an unpainted tin roof, concrete walls (Unpainted on the outside) luan plywood interior, a regular termite farm but a toilet indoors and plumbing that kinda works. After the meal somebody sets up the videoke and they have a go at ABBA and Carpenter hits. The male relatives are hitting the tanduay and talking outside on the little porch, I join them. I know most of them and get a long alright but they still look at me kinda funny as I don't drink. Nightime and people are drifting off. Me and the Mrs get to bed down in the living room, they actually put a blanket down in deferrence to me, this is my matress. Others get cardboard boxes to sleep on. So amid the myriad of night noises from the other overnight guests, with the old fan blowing the hot stagnant air around I drift off to sleep despite the buzzing mosquitos who ignore the smoking coil and the skittering cockroaches who I think held a military formation at dawn.

I wait my turn in the bath room, get tired of it and go outside to [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url] on the wall like all the other males. Mrs SH has heated water for me to take a bath, which I insist on as it kills whatever bacteria is present in the water, something i suggest you do too when in such a situation as Typhus can be spread easily. I go outisde in the little walled yard and douse myself with it, I'll never get in the bathroom and we have a bus to the province to catch. Of course everybody has to look, finding my white skin facinating and trying to see under my wet swim trunks if my dick really is that big.

I'm all groomed and dressed when we say goodbye to our hosts, I walk through the "compound", mud and all and make it to the main road where we can catch a bus to the boonies, hot as hell and the bath I took is immediately nulified by sweat, dust and deisel fumes. We catch the bus from CDO to Davao viA Bukidnon (aka BUDA). I climb aboard the air con sixty seater, the guard goes over my person and baggage with a hand held metal detector, gives my bag a cursory check and waves me on, I could have had a block of C-4 and he woulda missed it, but I noticed they check Filipinos much more thorough.

We find seats in the back after triping over "filipino luggage", that is plastic bags and boxes holding everything from live fighting cocks to clothes and food, I settle in for the four hour ride to Maramang near Malabalay. I survey the other passengers and find it a typical mixed bag. ITEM: a mother is breast feeding what looks like a two year old boy. three muslim women, all wrapped up in veils and heavy clothes stare out the window as a child sleeps on their 3 a breast laps. A crusty old fellow with a bag full of tools. No other white faces, so some people stare at mine, but most watch the overhead TV which is playing a Tagalog movie, you know its a tagalog movie as all the actors are firing guns, sometimes they stop and do a hokey "love scene" then start shooting again, never mind the plot, the pyrotechnics are the thing. Some lady passenger has made friends with Mrs SH and of course wants to know what country I'm from, all that, so mrs SH has to oblige with my life story, which I don't like but that is how it is with a Filipina, they love to brag. I just smile and nod but mostly look outside at the ever passing tableau as we work our way along the road which twists and turns like a disjointed snake. The scenery is breath taking to say the least, as many times as I've made the trip I always find a new marvel be it a shimering mountain in the distance or a banana plantation with ten foot plants. Every once in awhile we pass a settlement with tin roof huts, chipping concrete buildings and sometimes all bamboo nipa homes. We pull into a dusty broken down bus stop, our destination.

I'll save the rest including our return to CDO and conversation with the manager of a girlie bar for next post.

We get off in the middle of downtown Maramag, we grab a Habal-Habal, the only transports available and go for a bumpy five mile ride through "town" and turn off into nowhere, down a dirt road and come to a little farm house full of kids, relatives, chickens, pigs, goats and mud. They got a big feast waiting for us, consisting of rice and dried fish,fish soup. The farm house sits on about a hectare of land (2 1/2 acres roughly) lots of chickens and a few pigs which I guess I own, or rather my wife does. We are here to conduct business, pick up our profits from the rice harvest and invest in Maize, or corn as corn based fuel is the newest thing in the Phils. Now all this has to be done with cash which is a pain in the ass as nobody here has a bank account, the bank dont take checks and cant do wire transfers. I mention this as if you are considering doing business this is what you face and not just in the province either. So we wait & head into town to meet so and so with the money (Which he probably buried underground) after selling his harvest a day ago. He takes his time and shows up late of course but the count is right. Now we transfer it to so and so, once again all cash sign a contract at that is it. Simple but it took all day.
Notice I did not go riding around out in boonie land with cash from one to transfer to another, after the deal is done we go check out the corn field we staked, everyone knows we've no cash so why try a hold up? back we go to the farm and settle in for an evening of more Karaoke singing and dried fish. Half the province shows up including the local vice Mayor and the Parish Priest, to gawk and talk with me. I've been here several times, but each time, these folks have a way with making you feel like you're a celebrity.

I sleep on a bamboo floor, my over night bag for a pillow. It is rather cool out a pleasant surprise. Next morning I'm up at dawn and go for a walk in the countryside, I have an army of kids (nephews and cousins mostly) as my personal "bodyguard", breathtaking views and cool dry weather. Back on the bus and head to CDO. More hairpin turns, A little past noon we get off at Agora. Now Mrs SH wants to stay with other relatives in their cramped, dusty and hot "rooming" house. But frankly I've had enough and head for the DYNASTY hotel. I want TV, AC and hot running water.

Now I mention Dynasty hotel but there are others as I've said in CDO that are cheaper and such, the riverview, Southwest Motel and CDO visitors hotel, all udner P1000 all are centrally located for mongering. BUT it is CASH ONLY no credit cards, I wanted to put this on Visa, so you are limited to 3 or 4 places. The Dynasty was full, lawyers convention, so I checked into the VIP
a few block away, they take the card and are pretty decent. Price P1,800
for econo room, but big and roomy the AC works great and they have cable.
To my knowledge the other place is Max Alexander but they are REAL Expensive and dont have much to offer other than a big room and fancy decor.

Shower and shave and ready to flop down on the bed when the "boss" tells me she wants to visit an old GF who just had a baby. Okay, head out near the airport, to the new SM mall and pick up a gift then turn into and exclusive neighborhood of 3 story mansions. This lady married a Korean, built a great looking place and was glad to see her us. We were in the middle of iced tea and a tray of fruit, enjoying the AC when a commotion at the door
broke the setting. In charges a person with all the sensitive grace of a hammerhead shark. She was yelling before the reached the stairs and continued up all 3 flights, startling the baby and pissing off Mom and Mrs SH.

It was the sister of our lady host, lets call her...Mary (as in hell Mary?). I guess her at age 40 or so, floppy belly from two kids (by different fathers) saggy boobs that were once nice. At one time she was attractive, I could see it in her face, but now... I'll say this, she realizes her sister has company and she changes, putting on her professional charm when she sees a foreigner is a guest and she remembers mrs SH whom she hasn;t seen in years. Hell mary calms down and sits gossiping with us, asking a million questions about me, etc. Some I catch, some she ask directly in english, but this nosy bimbo wants to know the value of everything my wife is wearing.
When the Mrs displayed her diamond engagement ring I'm suprised she didn't pull out a jelwers loupe.

Later here's what I get from my wife about Mary, listen up and learn a few things and get reinforcement on a few others. Mary started work in Davao as a GRO, got recruited for some bar in Manila and helped raise her sister and family, putting our host through college, her and Mrs SH were roomates and when Mary returned Mrs SH did baby sitting for her kids while she went to work in the bar. Mary used to come home with leftovers that customers didn't eat and fed it to her kids and everyone else. Sis graduated, worked for awhile, met a nice Korean fellow and got married. Mary got too old to be popular and found work as a Mama san. I understand enough Visayan to catch that Mary asked My wife not to tell me what she did "before".

Mary is also eaten up with jealousy, she is envious of her sister, nice house, nice furnishings, a car and she is Jealous of Mrs SH, who sits there with a "nice" foreigner husband wearing nice jewelry and bragging about a recent Honk Kong trip. So Mary relays a story about how she has an "Online" BF an American who sends her money to go to school, and will be visiting soon, hopefully to get her a fiance visa to the USA. Meanwhile, Mary bums a taxi ride downtown when we return coz "classes are starting at nightschool". We let her off near the VIP hotel. Mrs Spamhog rolls her eyes and clues me to the real deal, according to her friend.

Mary works at one of the local Videoke's as a Mama san, (night school bullshit) She was yelling about some sort of problem with her current boyfriend when she charged into the house earlier. She came in to ask her sister for a loan, for the BF of course. I also learn the BF is a "Macho dancer" at one of the gay clubs in town. Now herein lies the paradox, Mary worked her ass off (literally) humping guys to fed her family and educate her sister, it paid off as sis has a good life, Sis now takes care of her and of course gives her "loans" and has taken Mary and her two kids (Both in their teens now).

She even offered Mary a job at one of her legitimate businesses, but Mary still keeps up with her old habits (she goes for younger men, similar to her former profession) and works in the bars. She brags about a foreigner "pen pal" who gives her money and sends her to school. Sis assures us this guy exists but doesn't send as much as Mary says. Anyhow two things:

One: some chump is sending Mary money to send her to school and take care of her kids until he can get to the Phils to "marry" her. SUCKER!!!!

two: Mary will not change her ways even when offered the opportunity to do so, remember Spamhogs addage:

YOU CAN TAKE THE GIRL OUT OF THE BAR BUT YOU CANT TAKE THE BAR OUT OF THE GIRL.

Later on we decide to go for a stroll at CDO's night cafe, lots of sights and sounds, I listen to a band while sitting at a makeshift outdoor cafe sipping an ice tea. Lots of girlies strolling by, a few are probably freelancers. I notice a few Byots too, also working the crowd BEWARE.

On the way back to the hotel the night has put on her face like a tired hooker, neon and winking lights. I notice the VIP hotel is a block away from the kangaroo bar, Ate M's Videoke (a few girls standing outside trying to lure in customers) and we pass a place with garish green neon sign resembling lips called 'Kiss me' bar or "chu chu", anyway Korean writing on the sign so you can probably guess the rest.

I wanted to hit a few of the clubs like Mojo (ralfs sports bar nearby looked like a good place for some western food and imported beer) and excite disco but Mrs SH was too tired.

I wondered which bar Mary was hosting at?

Mrs SH narrowed it down to two, Bada Bing or Ong Tek, right across the street from each other and a stones throw from Riverview hotel.

Stayed at the Red Coconut 16500 for three days with breakfast. Was tethered to my wife. However, had intesting experience. Got up early (5am), as I always do, and went for a walk. In an area called "D Mall" there is a bar called Isla Bala. Had two babes try to get me to come to their table. The bad news - young filipino guys looking a little under the weather were ordering beer at the bar.

Waling back to my room I was invited to sit with two girls, but, because of marital obligations, declined.

Cucomongas seems like a place where you would finnd action.

Sorry thats all for right now.

The sweeties here with me now, so no time for a big report. I'm in the Bayugan Del Sur area, about 100 kilometers from Butuan City. It"s actually boring here, but I'm making the most of it. Not much to do. Go to the restaurant for a bite to eat, jog around the rotunda, and walk to the palengke.

Doesn't look like me and the honeys gonna hit the bed at all. Not many options for a place to screw here. Mom and the relatives are at grannie's. The family's house, on Water District (? ), has become off limits. The neighbors are gossiping and dad's worried, so we haven't been there since a week or so. The last resort is the lodging house. Dream on! It's never gonna happen. Who's gonna see us walking in or out. Wow. If dad got word we were there, we'd both wind up dead.

My sweetie has already told me that the ring comes first before her pants come off. Oh well, too bad. My fiance in Bislig gets the ring. Will head to Cagayan soon before I go back to Davao and then back to Canada. Sorry for the mis spellings and whatever else doesn't sound right. Have to hurry. Later. TC

How did you find the women there, P4P and/or otherwise? Any observations on this town? Did you get to Valencia too?


[QUOTE=Jambo]Malaybalay

Getting there from Cagayan de Oro

Agora Bus terminal (there is another terminal for busses going other directions) has busses going South to Davao. There are parking spots for the busses, with signboards announcing their destinations. There are air-conditioned busses and standard (no air con) busses. If you have luggage, the guard or conductor will take them and lock them in the compartment. Busses depart regularly and all night. Departure times may vary between every 10-30 minutes depending on time of day. The conductor will come by and hand you a ticket, tell him your destination. Later he comes by and collects the fare. It’s P 105 to Malaybalay on the air-con bus. It’s not like in the old days, where you might ride with chickens. The air-con busses are sometimes too cold. While riding consider that the words “bus plunge Philippines” occurs 105,000 times in a search on Google.com. The red beans you see drying in the sun is coffee.

Mr. SH -

As always, I found your latest reports very interesting and entertaining.

One thing I find interesting: you mention all the "problem people" at the port in CDO. I did not experience this in either Ozamis or Cebu. The only guys who got a bit "excited" at seeing me were some taxi drivers in Cebu, but my girlfriend dealt with them. Maybe she was glaring at them, but even the porters were laid-back.

In Ozamis I was mostly ignored.

I can't speak for Ozamis, never having been there, but one thing I have noticed regarding Cebu, Davao, Butuan, Surigao and CDO, all of these ports' ingress and egress are set up differently, I think the problem in CDO is where you exit is so close to the road (Public space) where all the jeepneys & taxi's stop, you have to walk down some steps and it is tailor made for people to crowd in on you, also regarding Cebu the place has better security and is HEAVILY policed, many plainclothesmen in the crowd watching the "problem people". I NEVER had a problem in CDO (or anywhere else) other than people bum rushing you trying to get you into their cab, but the potential is there I added that so the brethern would be aware and take precautions.

Any action up in Baguio for mongoring?

Hey all,

Does anyone have any info on Puerto Galera? I have heard it is good but can't seem to find any info in the forums about it.

Many thanks!

[QUOTE=Dcand4]Any action up in Baguio for mongoring?[/QUOTE]
Yes there are mongering oportunities in Baguio just like most big cities in the Philippines but most of the activity seems to be in the KTV style "Nightclubs". Last year, I spent over a week there and never once saw a SW and I was out at all hours of the day and night.

There are several nightclubs located in the downtown core but I never had the chance to check them out. There is a second cluster of clubs, one of which I frequented since I knew the absentee owner. Set up similar to a KTV with a stage to showcase the available talent and private rooms to rent by the hour, if you so choose. Regular drinks were reasonable but ladies drinks were expensive, some where around 300 php. Not sure on any pricing since I never payed for anything. If your interested, PM me for more info.

The huge mall in the center of town seems to be where everybody congregates so picking up women is a cinch if you got game. If you are going to be there for sightseeing or whatnot, by all means check out the scene but I would not make a special trip there to monger.

Last month visited one of my girl friends who lives in dulag, which is 40 mts away from Tacloban, I booked the Leyte Park Hotel.

Getting there was so easy 50 minute flight from manila, and 10 minute ride in the hotel taxi. The hotel was very run down but for 40 dollars I had a sea view room, and we had the swimming pools to ourselves, this hotel is owned my the Marcos familly, and is subletted to a Chinese company who are renovating it, to its former glory. I like Tacloban as it is not full of tourists like me, its is a busy, thriving port town, which has very good shopping, restaraunts, and go go bars.

There are about 8 go go bars, the best one called Schooners. This bar had girls of far better qaulity than ac, I suppose up to Manilla standards, and me being the only foreigner there the girls were falling over themselves to talk to me. They did this stage act where they dressed in topless or bottomles uniforms, then after the dancing would just sit on the customers laps and start fondling them, there were some real 10's here, but I had the gf with me so this was as far as it went!

The bar is run very proffesionally, the mamsan told be me the barfine for the night is 3, 000 peso, so a good deal more than ac, but the quality far better in the looks department. Downstairs they had some of the best pool tables I have ever seen they looked brand new, and they had 2 resident pool players you could play if your partner can't.

Across the road we went to this bar called pussycats, and there I saw very young 18 year olds doing their dancing routines, this place was a bit rougher at the edges, but none the less there were at least 20 very attractive girls in there dressed in very short skirts. The bar fine here was 2, 500.

Again I was the only foreigner here but the phills people were very freindly towards me, not once did I feel awkward.

I did plan just to be with my girl freind for one week and then I was going to return to another girl freind in ac, but beacuase the sex was just fucking mindblowing with the Tacloban girl I stayed with her! We stayed in tacloban for 9 days and then went to Boracay for 11 days, but really I wished I had stayed in Tacloban, as I felt so relaxed there, and Boracay seems so plastic.

I am returning to see my gf in July and this time I am staying there for 3 weeks, I think I have found love here in Tacloban.

Thanks A hole for the post. I wish you the very best.

I've never been to Leyte but really want to go. I love the look and demeanor of the Leyte ladies.

Can you give us more information? Where are these bars? Also, did you hit the beach? Can you give us a review? Pictures?

I have Lonely planet map of Tacloban. I don't have a scanner, but can take a picture. Maybe you can do the same and mark the locations.

Or is it intuitive to just walk the streets and find these places?

And how did you meet this girl? Just a friendly warning ...great sex doesn't always mean a good wife. (Sure helps a lot though!)

There are a couple off disco's in Puerto Galera the best being Broadway but a little pushy to get lady-drinks . Barfine was 1000 for disco and 1000 for the girl. There are a couple off nice places to eat but nothing special.

I like PG but thats mostly because off the combination diving and P4p available.

Sent me a pm iff you want more -specific info.

Thanks for the reminder. I had meant to share my experiences in Tacloban after my two visits last June and November, but never got around to it. On both visits, I spent quality time with a sweetheart I had previously met on the internet. For me, Tacloban was the perfect destination. It has the attractions of a city, yet also offers a serene getaway without having to compete with many tourists.

During my first visit, I also stayed at Leyte Park. Its location is great, with the city center being a short walk or trike ride away. Did you notice that Leyte Park is also convenient to the you of Phil campus? Although I didn’t have an opportunity to participate in any mongering activities in Tacloban (my honey had never let me out of her sight) I could see many opportunities on the campus, in the mall, internet cafes, shops, and festivals going on around the city. I had a unique opportunity to chat with an American monger now living in Hong Kong who turned out to be a regular guest at Leyte Park. He referred to Tacloban as his 'secret retreat. ' I made many mental notes in the event I would ever return (alone.)

As I recall, Leyte Park was not in prime shape, but the location and views of the ocean make up for it. At about 2, 000php, I felt the rooms were a bit overpriced. If you return, you might consider McArthur Park, where I stayed during my second visit. The accommodations are much nicer, but the complex is further away from the city. We got around mostly via tricycle and jeepney. Which do not run between the city and McArthur Park in the evenings. But I’m sure you could make arrangements to hire a driver for the late night club action.

At the end of my second visit, I sent my sweetheart home and stayed in Tacloban for one last night before leaving for Manila the next day. She’s the conservative type who wasn’t into the night life, so I hadn’t seen much of Tacloban after dusk (which was fine, because the in-house entertainment was spectacular.) In the spirit of adventure, I moved out of McArthur Park and stayed at a guest house in the city center (I forget the name), just to be closer to any action. The rate was about 800php per night with accommodations on par with what you would expect at that price. I later realized that it was a bad move, and should have returned to Leyte Park and hung around the lounge areas and the adjacent festival grounds where I had gotten countless flirtatious looks during my first visit.

What was your take on personal safety in Tacloban? While at the guest house, at 2am, I decided to check out the Dunkin Donut’s across the street for a cup of coffee and quick reconnaissance. To my surprise, the guards were very reluctant to let me outside due to safety issues. After a few minutes of insisting, one agreed to be my escort. I thought an escort to Dunkin Donuts was a bit amusing until the door opened, when we were suddenly swarmed with beggars appearing out of nowhere. With the streets as dark as they were, the experience was a little creepy.

While that night was uneventful, intuition told me that there was much action to be enjoyed in Tacloban. All it took was a little knowledge of the city layout, and a driver you can trust. I left the next day for Manila and fooled around in Ermita before heading back to the States the following day.

I met a woman online I've been talking with and IMing. I kind of like her. Might go see her at some point this coming winter, etc. Anyway, she lives in Tacloban City and has a government job. She's cute, smart (college degree, good vocablary, etc.).

I'm wondering what tacloban city is like. If I went there and it didn't work out with her, are there other places to monger? Where shall I stay? Any info would be appreciated.

I might go to BKK first. Any recommendations for flights, etc. From BKK or how to do this?

Thanks

I decided to marry my new sweetie in Bayugan Del Sur. She will turn 20 next year. A bit young, but after being with her, so mature for her age. She never asked me for money once, so that's a good thing. She did tell me she loves me which is ok, cause I love her too. Went and bought herself a ring in Butuan so the "boys know I'm not available". That really made my day.

The worst thing about all of this is that I'm dropping my fiance I had for 5 years. She's a bit older, 27, and a great woman too. I just don't know what I will tell her. I definitely don't want to say I have another woman cause that would really destroy her emotionally. I still feel for her and could never just blow her off. Does anyone think I'm crazy? All thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

You can start by reading the "Chat Rooms & Pen Pals" thread. Plenty of info available if you take the time to look through several pages of reports in that thread.

Tell her you're bisexual and contracted AIDS while BtFking one of the local homeless lads. Then ask her for some money for medicine. That should do the trick.

If I'm not mistaken, Bayugan is in Mindanao. Correct me if I'm wrong. How did you meet this lass? Have you posted a travel report? If you haven't, I'm looking forward to a posting. I hope to visit Visayans and Mindanao in July.

You may have said in a previous mail TC, but how old are you? 30ish or 90ish?

Hope you'll be able to invite some of the senior ISG memebers to your wedding.

X Man[/QUOTE]Hi sory for the delay in responding, but have just come back from 10 days in ac.

The bars I mentioned in my report are on the Ormnoc road, but really just tell any trike driver Schooners and for 60 peso (from Leyte park Hotel) they will take you there. The bars are all next to each other and on opposite sides of the road, almost like they have been given a designated part of Tacloban to be built in.

There is no beach as such in Tacloban, but there are many beach resorts dotted about, but having the 2 swimming pools to ourselves at Leyte park, that was enough for us.

I met this girl at Dolls House in ac about 2 years 3 months ago. When I met her I was a bit wet around the ears (my first trip to phills), I barfined her twice then gave her the money to go back home and star a new life for herself.

It was never my intention to further my relationship with her as I just gave her what I usually spent in ac for 3 days 10, 000 peso to sort her life out. I have been emailing her for 2 years then she told me a old freind who she met like me wanted to vist her in Tacloban, I thought fuck that! , I will visit her first myself to see if I fancy her, and well the rest is history!

I am travelling to Tacloban last week in June and staying for 3 weeks, so will take some pics then.

My apologies, A hole, I've seriously underestimated you. Thanks for taking the time to respond to my post after all this time.

A message to the newbies, some of the people who give the most info at a site like this give up after they find they're giving, and giving and nothing comes back. People like CebuLocal with 1000+ posts, suddenly disappeared. GE, one of the two top experts on Mindanao (along with SH) has pretty much retired from ISG. There are several others who seem to only respond when they are sharing info with other seniors.

Since I've never been to Leyte, I still have something to learn from people like A Hole.

A hole, I'll be in PI in July. Does she have a sister?

Hope you have a great trip.

No, but what you're doing is stupid. Trading an established relationship for something that could be a long-shot golddigging operation.

She hasn't asked you for money (yet)? Don't worry, she'll cost you plenty, both monetary and emotionally.

can anyone out there tell me if there is any action down there and where to find it.
I will also need a recommendation of a gf hotel.

Tungsten,

My advice, before you dump your fiance, let this relationship go as long as possible first. I had a "regular" for about 18 months and knew she was real and wasn't a gold digger just like you say. However, as I look back, she did cost a lot and caused a lot of frustration.

Things were great the first 6-9 months but after that little things kept coming up. We have discussed how family is so important to Filipinos and a perfect example is when I gave my girl about 10,000 pesos so she could go to school. Her older brother didn't have money for his tuition so she gave him 8000 and didn't go that semester. For her, that was the right thing to do.

Our cultures are very different and you have to realize that. I can go on and on about little things that frustrated me but I'm just glad to be done with it. She was 20 also and though she seemed mature, after time, a lot of her immaturity showed in day-to-day situations.

Just like most relationships, things usually seem pretty perfect the first several months.

Just keep in mind that the cultural differences will arise and you will have different values. Maturity issues will also be an issue in the future too. Just be prepared...

BF,
if you got access enough to post a report:you should certaily realize that there is (and be able to read) the Davao thread.
Also, you should notice little establishments in AC called *internet café*. Very helpful if you need a bigger screen or faster bandwidth.
CA
P,S, an yes. there is action in Davao, but from what I gather in the Davao thread, much more subtle than in Manila or AC.

i tried to post this on the dragon slayer's board and kept getting bounced back to the "registration" area. hope it works here.
as was the case with my last post on zamboanga, this post probably does not belong here, but i can't think of any more appropriate place to put it, so it goes in the davao section.

june 11th was a monday and a national holiday here, which gave us a long week-end, so my lady and i decided to go dive in camiguin, where neither of us had ever been. we made arrangements to go with another two couples, and set off on saturday morning. camiguin is about 100 kms. northeast of cagayan de oro and can only be reached by ferry, so it's a long trip from davao but, as i hope i'm able to convey later in this post, well worth the effort.

we drove our own car from davao to cdo, and it took us about 6.5 hours, including a stop of about an hour at the pines hotel in malaybalay (lovely name) for lunch. the entrance to the pines is about two thirds of the way through malaybalay, and malaybalay itself--which is a lovely little place--is about two thirds of the way to cdo. the road is two lane all the way, but in reasonable shape, and you can average about 80 kph for most of the trip, including the time spent chugging along at 20 kph behind slow, smoke-belching, overloaded trucks. i would not advise driving yourself unless you are fairly accustomed to driving here. the alternative is to take the "executive class" bus, which is air-conditioned and plays videos, and which runs several times a day. the cost is about php400 ($8.50).

we arrived at the mallberry hotel about 15:50 and, while waiting for our friends to arrive, had a nice latte at the hotel bar. i've written about the mallberry before. it's a new, business-class hotel directly across a narrow street from rboinson's department store. the rack rate is about php2200 and i think i paid php1,800. eventually, we walked up the street to bigby's for dinner. bigby's is sort of a filipino version of a tex-mex place (a local version of tgi friday's) and it's not bad at all.

the next day we picked up our filipino friends, and headed the 85 km. or so to the port where we would get the boat to camgiuin. again, the road is strictly two-lane, but in decent repair, and we made the trip in about an hour and fifteen minutes. the drive is beautiful, and wends through some extremely rustic countryside and banana plantations. on arrival at the wharf, we paid php1250, a price that included our car and four passengers.

the trip on the ferry took about 90 minutes and we could see camiguin the whole trip. it's a beautiful volcanic island with mountains sloping right to the edge of the sea and looks much like some of the hawaiian islands in that respect, though there's no surf to speak of. if you do not have your own car, there's frequent bus service between cdo and the port, and all of the hotels offer shuttle service from the camiguin port to the various hotels.

camiguin is an oval, about 65 kms. in circumference, with one road running around the whole place, so it's no possible to get lost. we headed toward the highlands mountain resort, which is the newest hotel there. it was lovely, but a little removed from things. however, it's got cable tv, a large pool, very large rooms and is extremely clean. the price was about php2,200 for an enormous double room with a front terrace overlooking the sea. we had lunch at the hotel, and it was a mistake. i've had better food in economy class on airplanes. if you stay there, make plans to eat every meal away from the hotel.

later that day we descended the mountain to scout out the dive shops, and wound up at paras beach resort, which has its own dive operation. after arranging for a dive the next day ($20 per person for two dives including air) and decided that this hotel was much better suited to our needs than the one in which we were staying, so we made arrangements to transfer the next day. this hotel is not as attractive as the other, but the location is much better, the place much funkier, and it's smack on the ocean, with a small beach, a large pool, and lots of [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord118][CodeWord118][/url] including jet ski, parasailing, banana boats, etc. the food is light years better as well and the service was cheerful and reasonably efficient. the room price was the same.

we had two dives the next day: one over a volcano and the other over a forest of black coral. both of these were interesting, if not spectacular, and yielded some sights that we don't see during our dives in davao bay. again, the boat was on time, and the dive master was excellent as was the pilot.

unlike boracay, there's little white sand on camiguin. however, "white island" which is a 2 km. sandbar, sits a 5 minute boat ride from the beach of the hotel, and we dropped my friend's kids off there to play while we dove. there are small beach huts rep001tered around the island, several vendors selling soft drinks and junk food, and it's entirely safe. the beaches of the island are beautiful.

after the dive, we all hung around drinking tropical concoctions, and lolling around the pool. it was all quite relaxed. about half the guests of the 39 room hotel were european and the balance filipinos.

for dinner, my lady and i went to a restaurant called el paradiso, which is owned by an italian guy and his girlfriend. the food was surprisingly good and truly italian, with the ingredients imported from italy via cebu. there's a small selection of decent, reasonably-priced, standard italian wines, good service, and a totally relaxed atmosphere. i asked the owner if there was any nightlift at all on the island, and was told that there's a disco that operates on friday and saturday nights only. he didn't know about the possiblity of picking up women, and my guess is that camgiuin is strictly a byo-type of place.

all in all, the island is totally relaxing. in addition to the beach, it offers hot and cold springs, a soda spring and a couple of volcanoes. you can rent small honda or kawasaki bikes for php500 a day, and there's so little traffic that a bike is an excellent way to roam around.

the only mistake we made was allotting only two days to the island. the next time, we'll take a week. this is a great and inexpensive way to chill out. the scenery is gorgeous and there's enough to do that you will not get bored. also, it's still reasonably priced and, because it's not that well known, has not yet become touristy.

GoodEnough,

Thanks for the informative post. It's great

GoodEnough,

I appreciate your post on Camiguin. I may go there later this summer when I am in CDO.

I am glad you did not post to DragonSlayers forum. No offense to him personally, but this board is a good resource when its organized. Its kind of a pain to go searching other threads for information that's also covered here.

I don't really understand why he has to have his own forum, its not like he could not be made a moderator here.

I read this forum for more than three months. It’s a good entertainment and source of information.

In my opinion, Boracay is one of the most famous tourist destination in the Philippines. Unfortunately, about Boracay I found quite nothing in this forum. Therefore, my little report to the forum based on my experience and a report of Spam Hog.

Avoid the weekends and the bank holidays!

The island is overcrowded with hundreds of local tourists drinking, eating, pissing and sleeping on the beach.

I’ve been told by a local girl (freelancer), that there are no GROs on Boracay because the local authority doesn’t want this.

There are normal bars on the beach, where you can sit and look at the girls. After the sunset the walk way on the beach becomes a cat walk, where the girls stroll along. I couldn’t distinguish who is a freelancer and who is a tourist. I met an attractive, pretty girl from Manila (nurse student). She offered me massage and BJ for 1500 pesos. She was a tourist and earned some extra money here.

How to distinguish? The only hint, I can give the freelancers seem to show up not before 10 o’clock. For instance, there is a beer bar (at the end of the path from Talipapa market to the beach) with live music on the beach, where you can find them.

Spam Hog advised in his report to go to Cocomangas shooters bar or a disco called "the wave". [url]http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/showthread.php?p=546204&highlight=Boracay#post546204[/url]

There are roughly estimated 50 freelancers meeting at the “Summer Place” beginning from midnight to four o’clock. They are not the first choice. Only one of five is acceptable. The others are quite old, not nice-looking or seemed to be depressed. The girls were very reserved. You have to do the first step, eye contact, joking, etc. It’s fare away from the fun you can have in a bar in AC or wherever. Price between 2000 and 3000 pesos for sex, 600 pesos for massage.

Better you take a girl with you, what many guys obviously did. But you might have the problem (apart from travel costs) what to do, if you are fed up with her after a while.

If you don’t know, is your hotel girl friendly or not, ask the girls, they should it know. 100 pesos for the guard normally open the doors. Is your hotel a real no-go-area, the beach is long and empty in the night (apart from the weekends and bank holidays). I don’t know is it her standard or not, one of the girls took me to her home (sex Philippine style J)

[QUOTE=Spam Hog]You can find reports on Boracay under the "other areas" section, I did one in June (?) and a little later you will see one by a guy called Mahklu, who has a PHD in mongering. Boracay is not really all that good for mongering, normally it is a place you take your special girl for a honeymoon or a few days alone but, as everywhere in the Phils, one can always find something. You might try Cocomangas Shooters bar or a disco called "the wave" but the locals "working" the places aren't all that great looking, you might get real lucky and score one of the dozens of Korean or Japanaese tourist girls, but a wing man is advisable as they usually show up in twos threes and fours.

Good Luck

[size=-2][b][u]EDITOR'S NOTE[/u]:[/b] [blue]I certainly hope that the author or somebody else will post a link to this report in the Reports of Distinction thread. Please [url=http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/announcement-reportsofdistinction.php?]Click Here[/url] for more information.[/blue][/size]

I spent 8 days in Boracay in April this year and I would highly recommend it as a family resort. They will love and cherish your kids and treat you well. The people are fantastic once you get used to the crowds.

Getting there is a treat and you should be well rested and possibly medicated to endure the stupidness of getting to a hotel as many small fees will be paid and many porters shall touch your luggage.

Bring your own woman to Boracay, I am sure there are opportunities to make the "beast with 2 backs" with a fellow tourist or a non pro as it is a party place, there are, as referred to in the prior reports, opportunities along the beach after 10pm but they are unattractive for the most part, there are some freelancers in the busy bars again not striking and there is 1 very high end house of ill repute.

I can not recall the name of the house of ill repute but the costs are 150 US for 2 hours plus a recommended tip to the girl of $ 100 after the 2 hours, clearly not for me. Ask the motorbike taxis they will know it maybe, it is on the opposite side of the island from Station 3 and closer to the port than station 3 it is a grand venue of Japanese design and is probably worth the trip if this is in your budget.

It clearly looks like a fellow can get a blowjob at several of the massage places and the motorbike taxis all think that you can but you CANT! You can get a great massage though. I checked 6 places and not a single BBBJ was to be had and I was actually quite blunt about it after having paid for 2 massages and gone blind withthe subtle routine, sad to as the places are very nice and quite sensual.

There is an incall service though, 2000 pesos for 1 hour or so a friend of mine partook in it 2 times and was sastified by both encounters. If I recall the number I will provide it. This same friend took home a lady from Cocomangos and only ended up with his $ 2,000 US wonder phone being stolen and eventually returned to him after 24 hours of angst so beware. The Phillipinos seem to enjoy the small con.

My Motorbike Taxi did take me to a side street where real Philipino prostitues could be procured during the day but the amount of children and normalcy of the place soon turned me off and I never viewed a lineup. We all have lines in the sand. Usually the Taxi guys know what they are doing but not here or anywhere in the Phillipines that I travelled.

I would clearly go back to Boracay and it is indeed well visited by Philipinos and is the jewel of the Philipines as far as tourist destinations go according to the Phillipinos.

If you go there go golfing I recommend it, magnificient views there is only one course, you wil find it.

008

After a few trips to the Phils, I had often had the same thoughts as Blastoff (in his useful series of posts in this section from late last year) about all of the best looking girls in Angeles and Manila being from Samar and Leyte. So I did a half-circuit of the Visayas, back in April.

After a few days in Angeles and Manila, I caught a flight to Legaspi as my starting point. Was there for a couple of days but it poured rain the whole time. I never made it to the Lady Ann disco, so can’t comment. Did wander by one night and it didn’t seem too busy, but it was mid-week and a little early in the evening. Found a KTV down by the port (can’t remember the name) where there seemed to be a few girls available, but the quality was low. Seemed to be a few other KTV’s with girls in the area around the disco. I stayed at the Legaspi Tourist Inn, which is pretty basic. Didn’t have a GF feel to it, but I didn’t test it out.

From there I took a bus to Sorsogon, a jeepney to Matnog, ferry across to Allen and jeepney to Calbayog. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this mode of travel. Between Sorsogon and Matnog, the jeepney maxed out at 27 passengers and one chicken. On the brutal road between Allen and Calbayog, we got up to 32 (no chickens)!! Cramming my 6’2” frame with my backpack into a jeepney with a crowd like that was not the most comfortable trip of my life! But isn’t it all part of the adventure?

I didn’t like Calbayog much. None of the trike drivers seemed to know where anything was. All of the boys under 15-years-old seemed to have the same five-word English vocabulary, “Hey Joe, give me money.” Ended up staying in some run-down little hole-in-the-wall, as all of the decent hotels were full. Got in around 10:00pm and the town was pretty much shut down. Found a KTV to have a beer but nothing going on anywhere. And this was a Friday night! Got out of there the next morning and caught a bus (many chickens) to Catbalogan.

Catbalogan was a much friendlier town. Really a nice laid-back place. Still got the “Hey Joe!” thing, but here it was just a friendly way of saying “Hi”. As previously reported by Blastoff one could easily pick up a girlfriend if one was staying for a while. I received many smiles and giggles from pretty young things. Stayed at the Rolet which has nice clean (if small) rooms. The one downside to the town was that the options for eating are kind of slim. Sooners Disco at the north end of del Rosario Street is now open, but won’t be for long if they can’t draw more than the half-dozen people who were in there that Saturday night. Eclipse, at the other end of del Rosario was hopping with a great band playing. Be careful in this place as they definitely don’t enforce any sort of minimum age for entrance. There was certainly some jailbait in the house.

Took the bus to Tacloban and stayed at Leyte Park. The resort has been described as “run down“. “Falling apart” might be closer to the truth. Beautiful setting, though, and relatively convenient to the city center (about a 25 minute walk). The city itself is a bit of a dump, with lots of beggars (and rats) around. Again, like Catbalogan, many friendly pretty young ladies. Struck up a conversation with one gorgeous little thing running a sari-sari a few blocks from the hotel. Unfortunately, it was Sunday night and the town was completely dead, with nowhere to go and nothing to do. I figured Monday wouldn’t be much better so I moved on, the next morning. After reading Any Hole’s post about the go-go’s, I may have to go back on my next trip!

Took a mini-bus across to Ormoc and the fast ferry over to Cebu. The mini-bus was definitely worth the extra cost, after days of imitating a sardine in buses and jeepneys. (I think the combined cost of all the transport from Legaspi to Ormoc worked out to something like $18!) In Cebu it was time to settle down and relax, and spend more than one night in one place. Pretty much just a quick sampling tour on limited time, to see where I liked and where might be worth revisiting on a future trip. In that week of traveling, I never saw more than one white face a day (and sometimes none), from the time I left the airport in Legaspi to when I arrived at the ferry port in Ormoc. When you’re the only white man in town and a foot taller than the average Filipino, you do tend to stand out in a crowd! And that’s generally not a bad thing, in a place like the Phils.

I’m thinking of heading back later in the year, to complete the Visayas loop through to Bohol, Negros and Panay. Does anyone have any info on transport links to Dumaguete from Cebu City or Tagbiliran? Is there a regular ferry service? Any info appreciated.

Gang,

Please tell us your thoughts about Ormoc City which another member describes as one of his favorite cities in the Phils.

Thanks

I've been there. I brought my own girl so I can't speak to the prices for the action. Sabang nightlife is all restaurants, bars and discos, no go-gos that I saw. For hotel, there's a wide variety depending on your budget. In my case, we stayed in Puerto Galera at the Nirvana. Nice place, that with aircon and a decent view of the bay. I never saw an ATM anywhere. I'm sure there's one hidden away some place, but it's best to bring your own cash from Manila.

I only know about getting there from Manila. There's a bus station in Pasay City just off the LRT (one or two stops north of Libertad St) with aircon buses going to a variety of destinations. You want the bus that goes to Batangas City. Think it took 2 or 2 1/2 hours in the very early morning. It ends at the Batangas port where you can find a ferry for Puerto Galera. I think you may have a choice between a fast ferry and a slow one, but I'm not remembering that part. I do remember getting on the bus at 4:45am and finally arriving in Puerto Galera about 10:30 or 11am so get going in the morning, I don't know if they have ferries that go at night. I'm drawing a blank on the prices I paid for us on the bus and the ferry, but it can't have been that much.

When you arrive at Puerto Galera, you will find trikes to be the only transportation available. Negotiate with someone is all I can say. My girl handled that for us.

I've always wondered about the action there. Do tell us about it.

I am planning a short trip to Legaspi- if anyone recently visited the place please advise regarding hotels, and the "places" to visit.
Thanks in advance.

May want to stay at the City State Hotel in Ermita. They have a 7am bus that takes you to Batanges where you catch the ferry.

Bars, essentially four go-go bars that are ok if you go eary, the pickings in those bars after midnight are very slim.

The feedback I've read from another forum is that there are four or five "discos" on Sabang Beach, which is the place where the action is in the Puerto Galera area. I think one is called Broadway and another is called Village. There are hundreds of girls who work at these "discos" but they are really girlie bars more or less. Supposedly a lot of the girls are really good looking.

Does anyone have any idea about where this place/island is?

I cant find it in any travel guide or map and it supposed to be in the Philipines northern area somewhere.

Hi,

Has anyone else been there?

It's suppose to be a nice area if you like surfing and pretty girls.

I searched all the threads but can't find any info.

I had some confusion with Liloan -- there are two places on Cebu Island with the same name. If you take a boat from Dumaguete, Negros across the Tanon strait, you will land near the town of Liloan (Li-loan). Then if you go about 120 kilometers to the NNE, you will pass Cebu city and find a place called...Liloan.

The beaches around the Tanon Strait are very nice.

There are a few Freelancers in the Big Apple bar. I was staying in the hotel behind the bar and Christine picked me up. Freelancers also go there after the bars close.

Hi,

I am going to Tagbilaran City and Panglao Island for Scuba diving at Xmas. I am taking my gf but she is happy for us to meet other girls.

Anyone got any updated information on bars, clubs, malls or other places to meet girls in Tagbilaran City or on Panglao Island?

SnowKoala

Good question. I went straight to the beach and didn't explore the city. I'd say just ask a taxi driver or other male local.

From Tagbilaran, you can get to Dumaguete in about 90 min on the Ocean Jet ferry. There is diving there (Apo island) and I remember somone saying you can get p4p just out of town. Don't stay at Bethel guest house if you plan on playing.

IMHO.

Arrived in Sabang following two days in Manila. Fast Eddie 48 had previously advised in an earlier contribution that “if you want p4p you should just stay in Manila or go to Angeles”. So I had some concerns about the availability of company in Sabang, especially as I had hit on a particularly good BG in Manila and was very tempted to bring her down to PG. Let me make this clear, do not take Fast Eddies word; there is no need to bring your own to Sabang.

There are a number of Discos (a local euphemism for a go-go) in town. From my count, there were 6: Broadway, Pink Panther, Sunset, Sabang, Village and Centrum but I may have missed the odd one. General background follows at the end, so in no particular order some specific background on the Discos I visited:

Broadway:- The biggest and most professional run go-go town. Around +60 BGs, personally I found this to be the busiest spot in town and consequently had a higher guest to girl ratio. The approach here was generally through the five or so Mammas or the Papa. The Papa is an odd-looking fella with bleached blond hair. They do push the girls here, no such thing as a quiet drink but they tried to match up guests requests as far as I could see. Had a great laugh here with a BG and Head Mamma.

Incidentally, the Mammas in Broadway are collectively a frightening sight – they look like the Samoan forward pack.

Prices: Bar fine/LT was Peso1000/1000, plus no doubt a tip for good performance. Drinks, well not sure of the individual prices but four Lady drinks and two San Miguel came to 1000 peso

Pink Panther:- Don’t bother

Sunset Disco:- Smaller than most bars with around 25BGs. An odd feature was the Christmas decorations; including a fully lit Christmas tree in one corner…….I did not ask why.

Here the girls approached the punter and the Mamas seemed to stay in the background. An ugly woman decided I was going to be her meal ticket for the night. She either had a huge zit on her nose or a rather ugly stud; it was too dark to tell. There were some lookers but something about the place did not hit with me so moved on.

Prices: Bar fine/LT was Peso1000/1000. Drinks, a Lady drink cost me P230 and a SMG was P60.

Village Disco:- Was an OK Place nothing special, maybe 45 BGs cannot recall prices and did not note at the time I am afraid, apologies.

Sabang Disco:- My personal favourite of the lot, for no other reason than I had a good laugh with some of the BGs and found the bunch I spoke to great fun. Also had a good laugh with the head Mama, who the girls seemed to like greatly.

I would say there were 60 girls, some great some……not. Found a stunner here, 20 years old but now back in Manila. A beautiful girl in almost every respect, sadly a bad case of Farmer feet. She could have made better money as an extra in lord of the rings as a body part double for a Hobbit’s foot than as a BG. Still feet have never been one of my things and it did not spoil the arrangement for me. Spent a couple of days with her, When I got back from diving around 4:00pm I’d call her, she would be with me in ten minutes and stopped until 8:30 next day when I went off to dive. She told me that she was new to the game, I normally take this with a pinch of salt but in this instance she seemed too sweet to have been around for a while. Never pestered me for drinks and was very happy with P500 tip on top of the payment to the bar.

Prices: usual 1000/1000 but I did like the pay the girl later option if required. Drinks were LD200 SMG 60

General Info:-

A map of Sabang is attached showing the general lay out and locations mentioned. I hope it is big enough to view.

In the Discos there are dancers who unenthusiastically wander around the stage and do some pole work, they also like to do the splits .....a lot, I found they were available. Generally the bar girls will also do a “dance” or two between the dancer’s sets. This is important as you get the chance to have a good look at the goods and pick best!

As ever, people and places change. I can only advise my personal impressions and experiences as at end Sept 2007. The BGs are paid monthly on the first of the month and the ones who are going to leave go on the second of the month. I would assume this would mean there are fewer BGs around early in the month but am not sure if this makes a material difference as there seemed plenty to go around.

Other information:-

Eddies, a bar off the beach, has good food and drinks were ridiculously inexpensive SMG P45 - Coke P25.

Big Apple, Food not as good as Eddies (IMHO) but OK and great service, they have two pool tables and from my observation a small number of BGs/FL in there, though I do not know which.

Broadway also have a bar (with two pool tables), the disco is through a door at the back.

There was no floating bar when I was there.

Tropicana good pizza, cannot remember the cost.

Jeepney to PG from Sabang P15

Take cash with you, credit cards can be used in hotels the rest you pay for the old fashoned way and there is no ATM. I was very pleasantly surprised at how little cash I used.

Hello Wanderer,

Thank you for posting a fine report, as you promised.
You have answered many questions for me but I have one more:
How was the diving?

Well. An inquiring mind wants to know has anyone ever done the mongering scene in Baguio and if so what bars are the best ones to go too. Baguio being a college town I would think maybe a few good bars there to bf a lady. Anyone have any experience there?

Mattrick

After I got her to shave her bush the muff diving was great. Just in case you referred to scuba:-

This was my first diving trip to Sabang and I will definitely return. I took 12 dives over 4 days and cannot say I had a bad one. At times the currents were fierce, not for the faint hearted. In general vis was fine - around 15M, water warm and the beauty of the place is the number of class dive sites that can be reached in 20/30 minutes from Sabang. Also recommend a trip out to the Verdy Islands for a great drift / wall dive.

All in all, if you want to F*ck at night, dive during the day and put little effort in to obtaining either then there are not many destinations that can compete.

Hello, first time poster, long time reader.

I, m finally getting away from canada and will be on a chill out vacation in Phills. I am a seasoned traveller, many times to Thailand, south america etc.

I think I will enjoy phills because I like the small asian chicks and they speak english. I don't think I would like Angles city and that scene, something like a tacky Pataya I, m imagining.

I want a laid back place to rent a beach bungalow, nice beach, some kool resturants, bars within walking distance. And I want to get laid everyday or second day by a little stunner.

Is Puorto Galera the place?

I would appreciate some input and thank you in advance.

I've been 5 times in Sabang Beach Puerto Galera. It is a very nice place with some go-go bars. But I would say that it's mainly place for diving with some very nice evening activity :o)

But if diving is not your thing there has to be better places to stay. Sabang does not have very nice beach and supply of girls is limited due to size of place.
Don't get me wrong, I love the place but that's because I love diving and that is easy there. Go-go bars are nice plus for the PG but just for the beach vacation I would try to find some other place, perhaps go more south to Cebu.

I have not been anywhere else in Phil so don't know if I'm right or not.

Thanks for your input bbjohn,

I'm not into diving, more into swimming and hanging out on nice beach. Maybe someone with Cebu knowledge will come back.

Puerta Galera is also the place the first comes to my mind, but is it really easy to get there? I remember a long van/ bus ride and then a ferry which is delayed or cancelled if the sea is choppy. I suppose the transportation is cheap (from Manila) and this would be ideal if you are taking a girl or two -- although that is apparently unnecessary.

Dumaguete or Davao should be considered, although the p4p is limited. This will require an extra flight, so if you have a short holiday you need to take that into consideration. Cebu City has some nice naughty nightlife, but getting then you need to get to dive sites...again, you may have a long van / bus ride.

There is some European guy who has a massive web site of pictures from the Philippines. Not many lady pictures / info, but a little. Many pics from Puerto Galera. Search for Saban or Puerta Galera and it should come up. Or maybe someone here has it on file.


X Man

Thanks mr. Xman, I, m leaning towards PG because it does have some nightlife and one would not get too bored. The only thing I don't like is all my reports seem to say the same thing that the beach is really polluted and shitty. But I guess one can take a boat for a few hours to a little private beach? I think? Boracay would get a wee bit boring if your on your own? I, m not sure about packing pussy along from Manilla or AC as one may get tired of her after a few days then you have the hassle of dealing with her and getting her back. Nothing beats the old fuk and cuk.

The Sabang area has Sabang Beach (not very good beach, mostly pebble). However, a 5 minute walk from Sabang Beach are the two La Laguna beaches, which have nice resorts and nice sandy beaches. Then you can go to Sabang area for the nightlife.

5 more months to go and the weddings on. marrying my sweetie from bayugan city. everythings ok. she's ready to be a mother so i hope towards the end of the year we have our first child. she don't want to live in canada(is that strange??..lol). i will be relocating there, not immediately though.

on a sadder note a relative who resided next to grannys house died last week. only 26 years old. i heard he was drunk and encountered another drunk on the street. the guy hit him and he fell and split his skull on the pavement. was in a coma and died on the way to davao city. we had a couple good drinking sessions at the videoake with him and others. even though we couldn't communicate well, i found him to be a real nice guy. he leaves behind 2 kids. his ex-wife, i don't think she gives a damn. strange it's usually the guy who doesn't care. granny and gramps have the kids now.

my future wife heads back to college for the 2nd semester today. she's very popular. has been asked to join the band, pageant, you name it. school keeps her from being bored at home. it's always nice to be around your peers and have fun. she's taking computer secretarial, which isn't anything major, but the college in bayugan doesn't offer much. can't wait to return.

mmmm. jollibee crispy chicken burgers. eat ‘em for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

i arrive at the domestic airport in manila for my flight to tacloban and damn if they haven’t instituted the liquids in small bottles policy. the old “containers of no more than 100ml in a clear plastic resealable bag of no more than one litre capacity”. and i’ve still got that unopened one litre bottle of scotch from the hong kong duty free in my bag! what to do? check my bags? never! how about a little obfurep001ion? reorganize my stuff into their regular config, with my toothpaste, deodorant, etc. in my ziplock bag. pull that out at the security checkpoint and confidently move through. the guy was inordinately interested in the contents of my pockets (wallet, passport,…) but the people at the x-ray machine let my scotch right on through. success!

tacloban:

stayed at leyte park resort, which is finally in the process of renovations. the renovated rooms look really nice, at first, but after a few minutes you realize that they haven't actually replaced or improved anything, just put some nice coats of paint on, to brighten it up. the rotary dial phone should have been a dead giveaway!

some of the “improvements”, like the new faucet on the sink, are so badly executed that it doesn't open properly because it's too high and the frame for the mirror interferes with opening it. and they now stock the fridges, but they still keep them unplugged. which is kind of scary when they're keeping juices and beers in it, products with limited shelf life that are meant to be kept refrigerated. so i plugged the fridge in and within a day everything
inside was frozen solid! and even besides that the electricals are a little scary. i plugged my ipod dock into the wall...well actually not into the wall, into my voltage converter which was plugged into the wall, which shouldn't be necessary...and when i went to touch the ipod i got a shock off of it!

and the service is equally bad. my first day my room wasn't cleaned at all. second day they show up at 10:00 and i tell them to come back in 30 minutes because i'm just getting into the shower. i'm gone within 30 min. and when i come back, five and a half hours later, they still hadn't cleaned my room! i had to go to the front desk and ask them to send someone, and it was still another hour before it was done. that trend basically continued for the rest of my stay.

but for all of its problems, it's still a beautiful location and relatively
convenient to the rest of the city. and most of the staff (and even the guys doing the renovations) were very friendly. even the trike drivers and others along del pilar, outside the resort, got used to seeing me after a few days and were always very friendly.

a few directions to places mentioned by previous posters. inzomnia disco is on real st. at the end of gomez. schooner and bikini night clubs (and one other, i couldn't find the eight or nine that any hole mentioned) are further south along real st., heading out of town (back towards the airport).

i stopped in at bikini, but mostly fatties, although there was one cutie. had one beer and moved across the street to schooner.

the girls at schooner mostly dance one at a time, for two songs, first in skimpy clothing and the second semi-nude. occasionally they get up in groups. girl who was up when i came in had a bit of a belly on her, and the second girl was just plain fat. any hole had said that the “bar had girls of far better quality than ac, i suppose up to manilla standards”, but i'm not seeing it so far. third girl was nicer. the fourth was a jaw dropper. top shelf? more like top model. tall, leggy, flawless body and a beautiful face. and had all of the catwalk moves down, too.

after about an hour, i'm wondering what's going on, and how this place works, as noone other than my waiter has spoken a word to me. and all of the girls go directly from the stage to the back of the bar where it's dark and you couldn't call one of them over to the table. i'm the only white face in the house, and usually the mamasan would be all over me, the moment i sat down. had three beers and gave up.

came back a couple of nights later and exactly the same story. and the top model wasn't in that night. i even made eye contact with the mamasan at one point and she turned away and moved to another table where there was a pillar between us. what the f...??!!

but the place has a number of beauties so i'm not entirely prepared to give up. my last night in town and i'm tempted to walk in and sit my butt right down on the seat next to the mamasan and give her a lesson in economics and how she and her girls should be more friendly. but the top model is on the stage and i decide to sit down and watch and give her my undivided attention. all of a sudden i'm getting smiles and flirtatious looks from her. but i'm thinking... hmmm...she's changed her hair...and her face? i don't think this is the same girl, but equally as hot and with almost as good moves. and a girl that's friendly for a change! sure enough, a couple of songs later five of the girls get up on stage together and there's top model #1. my gawd, there's two of them! and you could see that model #1 (mae) knew that she now had some worthy competition, as she started showing more skin than previously. i'm predicting some catfights backstage between these two!

so top model #2 (pia) comes over to sit with me. maybe not the level of sophistication as mae, but every bit as much the hottie, and very friendly. mae was the classic asian hottie (maybe a bit of chinoy) while pia was totally pinay. as the evening went on, i slowly figured out how the place operates.

1.60p per san mig
2.50p admission fee, added to your first drink
3.the girls are not allowed to sit with a customer unless the customer has bought them
a drink
4.100p for the girl to sit down with you (per girl: three girls, 300p)
5.200p per ladies drink
6.barfine 3000p: pia said that it was only for 3 hours, not the whole night. but that was her first night and maybe she was just being a good businesswoman and trying to get back in time for a second trick.
7.there are some vip rooms in the back. 2000p for “drinks”. and whatever you and the girl want to engage in.

so after a few drinks with the lovely pia (20 y.o. just arrived from zamboanga but not new to dancing as she had worked in cebu), she was tired after a long trip so i promised to come back, the next night.

after my second failed attempt at schooner, i dropped in at inzomnia to see what it was like. got there around 11:30 on a saturday night, so still a little early. it's quite small and i'm not sure how they call it a disco, because i can't see where there's room to dance. but even this place had everything screwed up. when i came in there was exactly one table and two
barstools available. and another five tables and six barstools marked “reserved”. half an hour later the place had filled up significantly. there were people stuffed into corners, stepping on each others toes, but still all those empty seats for the “reserved”. so essentially this is a place that goes out of its way to inconvenience its paying customers while giving preference to people who haven't even showed up.

doesn't anyone in this town have the ability to run a business competently?

back in schooner with pia the next night. you're always afraid that a girl with those sort of looks will rely entirely on her looks to captivate her man, and be a complete starfish. but this girl put some effort in, and she could move in such a sensuous manner that it was like being intimate with the most gorgeous snake you've ever met! i took the vip room option. big room with benches all around. not like the “bed with walls” room of the termas in rio. more like being a teenager, making out with you girlfriend on her parents’ couch! and pia delivered! as beautiful out of her clothes as in them. when her turn to dance came up, i let her go to dance because i loved to watch her walk! and then it’s just a manner of enjoying that marvellous body. it was a wonderful case of serendipity. enjoying every millimetre of her body with my lips and tongue raised her to a state of excitement that she was basically tearing my pants off to get me into her. i’m still in touch with this girl. she’s not some virginal beauty, but amazing!

in some ways i love this town. in other ways, it drives me away screaming!!

Dragon Slayer’s report says all there is to be said:

I saw a young cutie around the war monument at the park around 2:00 in the afternoon. She was obviously trawling for work but I’d just got into town and didn’t approach her. Shame, because I never found anything as nice as her, later on.

FYI, there is even a go-go in Ormoc. It’s up a set of stairs in the alley behind the bus station (the northern enclosure across from the Supercat terminal). You can follow the neon and music. I walked in around midnight and there was nothing but a few older hardcore ladies, so I passed, but it might be better earlier on.

there are some fellows in here suggesting to bring a girl from angeles or whereer to boracay. in my eyes, therefore is no need. i have been here the first time and only for 6 days, but as far as i can see there are a lot of oportunities.

freelancers:

some girls from manila, cebu or other places try to mix their way of earning money and spending time at a nice place. so they stay here in some boarding houses and join the beach in the day, and the bars in nighttime. you find them easily, cause they will find you too. walking up the whole beach and back again at a friday aternoon, smiling and talking to some of them gave me 7 phonenumbers. okay, five of them nowbody will call even if they pay for our service, but two have been really nice. one of them was not in the freeancer category, she was a:

staff girls:

boracay is full with restaurants, bars, cafes and offers a lot of working possibilities for filipinas. so many of them come from other cities and do work in here. when they finished the job or have free time, they are mostly openminded. sure: boracay is not a big la cafe like in manila. these working girls do not join you offering full service one hour after you met them. it takes some time to conquer their hard. anyway, if you compare it with europe or the us, it is still high speed. two or three days, and they are yours. this does not mean that every 70 year old beer bally guy will be successfull to catch a 18 year old miss boracay. it needs some sympathie of them too. i m 40, with usual overweight, not incredibleugly but also not the type of guy ladies in germany are running to in dozends. in here i catched a 21 year old cutie. one more note: try to find a wingman. girls normaly do not go arround alone, but always with a best friend. so it is much more easy, if you have a best friend at your side too. forgotten to say: also there are some girls who cancelled their job in one place, and have a week or two before starting a new one. these ons can stay with you day and night if you want, the staff girls sometimes have to go working. but if they want, they can be very flexibel in doing this:.)

things to do:

in my eyes boracay is a relaxing and hangout place. their are some diving instructors, but i can not tell anything about. never done. kite surfers after a taifun seems to have excellent oportunities. something you can do is so called "island hopping". a small boat brings you to several beaches. 2 hour trip is 1800 peso, and it is the same if there are 1 or 6 people on board. so this is a excellent oportunity to invite the ladies you met before. they love it, you are generous, and it cost you nothing if you also want to do it.

places to go:

a lot of clubs are located at the sandy footpath along the beach between boat station one and boat station two. as far as i could see, "summer place" which is maybe 200 meter down from d-mall, is a busy one, mostely with some girls inside who will be interested to meet. also juicebar and hei jude seems to be good, they are 50 meters left and right. arround midnight is the best time to enter. but its easy to walk up and down and have a look where the crowd is tonight.

another place, which is always packed, is cocomangas. right now the beachfront bar is under construction, but there is a big one beside the main road. main road in boracay is winding, sometimes 400 meter away from the beach, sometimes only 20. near cocomangas its 20, so you can also go at the beach and then walk up to road. in cocomangas you will find really a lot of girls, and on weekend it is totaly overcrowded. then there are a lot of filipinos with their girl friends. even if firearms inside bar are not allowed: take care.

hotels:

not every beach resort is located directly at the beach. at these places where the space between main road and beach is a big one, are dozends of beach resorts without beach access or beach view. i stayed at jonys, where the hotel is on the other side from main road, but restaurant is in the sandy beach. they gave me the superior de luxe for 3300 peso. room was really nice, aircon, tv, very big bath queensize bed and a small one too, balcony with seaview. very poor breakfast. i was looking arround bit to other places too, and think this is not the best, but also not the worst deal. and it is only one minute walking to cocomangas. and of course yes, they have been girlfriendly.

trycicle:

inland transportation is trycicle. a normal ride, for example from cocomangas to d-mall (which is something like a open-air-shopping-center) is 7 peso. if you give the ammount to the driver after you are there, everything is okay. if you ask about the price before entering, they will try to carge you 20, 40 0r 50. after 10 pm it can be difficult to find somebody who will go for this. i never paid more then 20. of course you can also walk at the beach. not to safe money, but its nice and safe. and of course you can not walk there with your filipina: oh my god, are these girls lazy:.)

so to everybody: enjoy the trip and have a great time.

Has anyone been to this place? This YouTube video seems to show a lot of nice white sand. BTW, don't watch the whole video because it's the same all the way thru -- some egghead running down the beach filiming the sand.

Hi fellow mongers.

I'm just new on this site. But NOT a newbie for coming to the phillippines.

Think you heard it before. But this a great for picking infos.

I'm gonna make some reports later on.

Happy mongering

avoid the go-go/strip bars as their prices are driven outrageously by the japanese/korean tourists and local sugar barons. they are concentrated mostly in the goldenfields commercial complex, the area where the casino filipino is located. i stayed at the new days hotel there, which at p980 (double occupation) a night is the biggest bang for your buck in the area. definitely girl-friendly. (see attachment)...

now back to the bars, the biggest i entered, the "wild cat" had ladies drinks amounting to p390, vip "short time" rooms for p3000 and bar fine at p4500. insane considering it is even higher than manila prices. i am a local so i don't see this as a special "foreigner" price. also, i noticed most of the girls here came from outside bacolod - bohol, dumaguete and cebu - and sleep in the bars so don't expect some "freelance" action after their work. dangerously, some girls admitted to me being ****, and laying a girl below 18 is punishable by death in philippine law. so take caution! avoid also the streetwalkers in the goldenfields area - they will haggle with you for a low price but not much action when she comes to your room, will make up a lot of excuses - from menstruation to crying baby at home.

if you are looking for real gfe action, i suggest you approach your hotel boy or taxi driver. they pimp student or housewife "part timers". prices range from p1000-p2000 and they come to your room. the only drawback is that you can only get them before 5pm... probably because of dorm curfew or suspecting husband... but its worth it! if you have fun, get their celphone numbers and arrange a second meeting directly for a more flexible time. if you are in bacolod, call jeffrey... 0916-314-6922, he's actually a taxi driver but will show you a good time... honest and he speaks very good english since he's used to touring foreigners.

What is the scoop?

In Zamboanga there lives a beauty called Darmina. She is 21. She shows every day on the Internet at $25 for 15 mins. She is nice girl and speaks good English. Does very well financially. She is looking for a foreigner to marry and frankly she is a good catch. She comes to Manila for a week at a time if the offer is good. I enjoyed. Here are her pics.
