General Information

Does anyone know where I can find OTC Cialis in Cebu? I tried Rose Pharmacy and Mercury Drug but they require a doctor's prescription.

Just booked 2 x Cebu-HK return tickets with Cebu Pacific on their special deal fares for less than $400 (200 ea). For anyone wanting to do a visa trip, or change of flavor trip, this is good value. Leave Fri return early hours Monday. A google search will easily find their website.

Spam Hog,

Sorry, not me dancing at your disco scene. Was just a quick visit and only managed to get some real hip shaking done at the Cadillac. If I visit again, I'll get the details of the other clubs from you.

For X Man, who would like some "info", I didn't go to sample the Filipino women so can't give the sort of detailed advice you are probably looking for. However, from what I noticed, the Cadillac Cafe puts on a great disco. There were more than several Filipino women (all young and attractive, probably well employed etc) looking very available and interested in my male friend who was more than happy to be the only bloke on a dance floor comfortably filled with ladies!! Thought he was in heaven, poor bugger!!

Drinks were reasonable - San Mig P35 I think, great pizza and food, friendly staff (but probably not "available"), rooms very clean and from US50 per night. We loved the place, but again, not looking for your type of action.

I particularly enjoyed being away from the main drags.

We made friends easily and I can see that it could be a pleasant place to base yourself for more intimate encounters. Clean, air-con, friendly, security etc

Now, in return, how can I find a decent bloke, with a strong sex drive, in Sydney?

Actually, I was more interested in location, type of music, atmosphere, etc. The Sunflower (Cebu) and Venue (in Davao) are very large. I'll have to check out CC next trip.

Thanks for the info.

I can't help you with Syndney boys, although one told me a really cute joke the other day.

What is the Australian definition of "a woman"?
Life support for a vagina.

(ouch)

X Man and any other who may be interested:

There has been plenty of discussion on Clubs in Cebu on this board. But Let me give you all a rundown and a "retired" mongers view.

Sunflower is by far the most popular club. Thursday is Ladies night and ladies get a drink free (big deal) weekdays entrance is P100 weekends P 150. This place is operated by Koreans (you will see dozens of them there everynight students age from the nearby schools) and they raised the price to keep it rather exclusive. Time was when one could find a number of "freelancers" working the place but now not so much, still a lot of unattached women though. This is more becoming a place to take your date than a pickup place is was a few years back. Bands play Filipino rap, hip hop etc. Drinks are rather expensive comparitively san mig is P90. You can walk to it from Northwinds hotel in Lahug.

Within walking distance of Sunflower is a smaller club called "Latino" something or other, I understand this is where some of the crowd goes who cant afford sunflowers cover charge. I haven't been in it yet, only drove past and saw what looked like a lot of ladies out front (they have a grill) but will check out this week or next

Ratskys, smaller and less "rowdy". Live bands play much the same music but the atmosphere is a little bit more upscale, One can usually find more "professional" type ladies (Doctors, lawyers, etc.) here. The cover charge varies, lately they had only charged on the weekends, well aware of the price increase from sunflower. This place is located in the resturaunt section of Ayala Mall and you can sit at one of the coffee shops outside and watch the occassional "working" girl stroll by looking for a foreigner.

Sinners and Saints is located across from Country Mall Gaisano in Banilad. Times I was there the crowd was very upscale, few foreigners go here mostly Filipinos, sort of like Ratskys. I dont think you find any freelancers working here but you get lot of looks (inviting) from the ladies. Live band weekends, cover too. Drinks a bit high.

The Pump, is located by the convention center on Archbishop reyes ave. Poorly marked but taxi drivers knows it. No cover to ladies except on friday Sat night. Live band is rare mostly a DJ who plays what he likes, ie some US intercity Ghetto rap that is hard to dance to. Drinks are very reasonable. Very few foreigners go here, I went twice and as was the only white face around. Crowd is real friendly though. I saw several ladies dancing and flirting and it is likely a single guy could probably score, however I was with the Mrs both times. As an added bonus you can probably tag a streetwalker out front after midnight. Some of these girls looked better than the colon street, shabu head variety.

The Cadillac is located in LApu Lapu City, I described it to Aussiegirl as sort of a takeoff on an American roadhouse, owner is from Alabama and a good "good ol boy" who takes an interest in all his "foreigner" guests. As you've read there is a live Filipino band, playing usual "Pinoy pop" a dance floor and the ladies shake their stuff. Cover is P150 0n weekends. Second Tier is some nice billiard tables.

Just to add to SH's post. I went to Sinners and Saints once with a date and felt a bit uncomfortable since most tables were occupied by large boisterous groups. My beer was warm and I asked for ice. The band was okay. Shortly after drinks were served we were asked to move to make room for a larger group. Yes, I felt that the people were friendly, but service sucked. I certainly wouldn't recommend going alone. Find a wingman or two.

One place I liked for the food and atmosphere was a place called Badger. I think that was the name. This is on the same side as Sinners and Saints, but further along, just past the mall (the one with Lighthouse restaurant). It had a dance floor and room for a band upstairs, but when I was there it was being used by a teacher and mostly Filipina students doing salsa. Some cute ones...and the teacher was a bit loose in the loafers. I was with a date, so not sure what, if anything, was available.

Badger has potential. Downstairs is large sports bar and dining area with large screen tvs. The food is good. Prices are relatively high in fitting with it's upscale / expat atmosphere.

It's probably about a year old now.

Should I book somehwere from the night before and basically py for about 7 hours worth of hotel or just tough it out till the next day and check in later.

Any suggestions?

If your hotel won't allow such an early checkin (i.e. 4am), you can always stay at one of the short time hotels such as Kings Court, Queensland or Sogo. For 3 hrs, I think is is 250P. They have other deals for longer periods as well

You might even be able to find a lady before getting the room. I know that there a girls hanging around the gas station near Mango Square/Raintree Mall at 4 am, but they are usually gone by sunrise. The ones you'll see at this time are the ones that didn't make the $$$ for their pimp. Pretty scraggly.

BTW: I was told by a taxi driver that the girls here are pretty desperate at this time of night. The drivers will sometimes negotiate for a 50 -100 Pesos blowjob from the girls. Or, if the girls have no cash, then a blowjob for a ride home.

Anybody else know where to go to help this guy score at 4 am?

Find out if the hotel has a day rate. If they have vacancies, you should be able to nagotiate a short stay and ask them for a late check out. You might have to make a few calls better yet inquire via the net. This strategy has worked for me several times.

Excelsior!

For those that remember this place from a few years ago you will be happy to know it is open again under another name. Went there with mates a week ago and it has certainly gone upscale. One of the owners said Thursday nights onwards are best. Wonderful view of city lights from the glassed off bar area at the end. Worth a try for something different. It has lost that bad sock smell now.

Pump, watch out for crazy Koreans, they often cause trouble there. Saw one pushed through plate glass entrance door a month ago. Pump security handed over to the police van that is staitioned there to cater for such regular incidents. Lots plain clothes police there as well. Be nice and you will have no problems, but do not go there with new "tourist" attitude.

Anyone that has been in Cebu a while knows cadillac cafe owner has two sides, not always the nice one some people put forward here.

Is that the bar that used to be opossite the old citibank location.

Thanks to all those who gave me advice about my early arrival. Much appreciated and hope to see some of you in the various establishments around town! Although I have heard Xmas can be a bit quiet in Cebu. Hopefully the discos will still be fully of women!

Just to add to what CL said.

I'm at the Days Hotel right now. It is VERY convenient to the airport. Basic but acceptable. Inconvenient to everything else though. Good luck.

PS: I should have added that I'm up for a beer or two with any interested fellow mongers.
