Howdy guys,
I can't comment on Cebu as I have not been there. But in Cebu Locals absense...
Seoulmac,
Spanish was mainly spoken by the Mestizos, the affluent class of colonial Philippines. You will find that many "well off' Filapinos still speak it. Beyond that, the Chavacano dialect is the closest to Spanish. But you'll only find that down around Zamboanga, and you don't want to go there. You will find many Spanish words interlaced through all the dialects in the RP.
Pimelonman,
Prices on airafre from Manila to BKK tend to be higher than they should be. Usually in the $400 range (RT). But, if you can do it the other way, prices for tickets purchased in BKK are cheap. I've done RT BKK MNL BKK for $225.

hi I was thinking of going to manila, but after reading this board I'm debating if cebu wouldn't be the place to go. I'm not really into bar girls so the idea of freelance and part timers might do the trick. Does anyone have any pictures of their vacation trips or any links of the talent out there. Since there has been all this talk about cebu women being mix whatever that means. Anyways, sorry if this question seems a bit stupid since I''m a new member here, but it quite surprising to me to see that there very limited pictures in the gallary.
cheers

Cebu Local,
I have been living in Bangkok for the last 2 years and while veyr fond of Thai people, I do not think that this is a place that I want to stay permanently. Can you give me a realistice estimate on housing and other expenses in Cebu? I want to be near a palce where scuba diving is readily accessible. Thank you

just having come back from BKK,LOS yesterday i cannot agree with you more,because you will find out that people here genuinely love westerners as oppossed to thais who tolerate farangs,all the main papers are in english,all the signs are in english and cebu has minimal traffic,fresher air etc.any spot in cebu city is a maximum of 30 minutes away from great scuba diving,you can go north, east,south and you will be in a great beach unless you go west into the mountains where a 30 minute drive will bring you to tops for a great view overlooking cebu.
living costs in cebu are as follows,small aircon furnished apartments start at about 120$ monthly,pension house about 200$ monthly,groceries for one person about 70$-100$,beer at about 25 cents a bottle supermarket price,meal at fastfood court 1$,buffet lunch at midrange restaurant 2.25$-3$,girls skanky street ones 10$ all night,midrange 30$-35$ girls from *****house or casa,highend from KTV 60$-80$,prices are all night.but you can get a normal girlfriend within 2 days max guranteed,it is cheaper that way,an italian friend of mine gives his 100$ a month as an allowance,ok for unlimited sex,hope this helps regards

My opinion is much the same, regarding the difference in attitude among females between Thailand and the Philippines.
Thailand does offer more in terms of shopping, dining, thai boxing, temples to visit....
Having been to Thailand six times, though, I now have a preference for Philippine closeness as opposed to Thai commercialness.
It would be interesting to me to take a beloved Philippine girlfriend (I saw this one in Bohol!) to Bkk and give her a whirl around that frenetic city! Kind of the calm in the storm.

not a bad idea,a brit who works here brings his girlfriend when he goes to singapore,LT there is 250$,a package for Cebu -Singapore for 3 days 2 nights is about 320$ by silkair,Cebu-BKK is about 330-340$ for a 4 day 3 night package,regards

Cebu Local,
Good information, thank you. Sounds like I need to take a trip to Cebu in the near future.

Hi all,
Has anyone used the Superferry 12? I am thinking of sleeping off the flight
during the transit to Cebu. Hey, it has a small mall, so you never know....
Really, is it ok or a real pit.
Cost of a cabin suite seems within reason.
Thanks,
Henry Baskerville

all
superferry 12 is ok i have used it and you can get action on board,many bargirls go home using the boat and people not all have picked up girlfriends during the trip,just avoid economy and tourist class which are dormitory style regards

cebu local,
Where can I go to find girls in Cebu? Hehehe... I'm just kidding. I just couldn't resist after the recent posts in the Manila section. So do you have a person that newbies can call in Cebu?
I do have a fairly simple set of questions - I'm looking at a March trip back to the PI but planned on going somewhere else besides Angeles City. I recall you had good things to say about Bantayan Island but that I should bring my own entertainment. I was thinking about taking a girl or two from Cebu to save on the cost of an extra ticket out of Clark. For some reason I've formed an opinion that the girls in Cebu are not as desperate to get out of town as the AC chicks. Am I wrong. I’d sure like to talk to you some more about this next week when I get to AC. Are you going to make a cameo appearance?
6 days and a wake-up!

cebu local,
My email address is [email]lazonaman@yahoo.com[/email].
A little history (I'll digress): If you know your Spanish you'll recognize "LaZona" for "The Zone". This is what mongers call La Zona Norte in Tijuana, Mexico. La Zona Norte is the area of Tijuana where prostitution is tolerated (but not legal). It might as well be. There's an alley called Callejon Coahuila where, on any given weekend night, you will find no less than two hundred girls lining both side of the street. The prices in the alley average from $10 to $40 for a Short-time (ST) session. In Mexico a ST session is 15 minutes. After that the girl starts looking at her watch and you get the dreaded knock on the door from the hotel staff. Tijuana is nothing like the Philippines but it's also only a 30 minute drive from my house. Most of the guys I've meet in the PI I've also partied with down in La Zona. Since most Filipinas appearances (at least in my eyes) are a blend of Asian and Spanish that gives me the best of both worlds! I can't get enough of them. Soooo, my email address is “La Zona” and “Man” put together in one word. I would have used “Progman” but someone already took it. BTW – “Progman” is my pen-name from my college days (I’m a computer science graduate)…
…Okay, I’ll get back on topic. I can’t imagine why the girls would want to go to Manila unless they know someone there. Maybe it’s that “big city” lure that attracts them? I’m assuming March is not the peak tourist season in your neck of the woods so I should be able to get pretty good prices and selections of hotels in Bantayan. I really didn’t want to go to Boracay because it seems too commercialized. That’s an assumption on my part of course.
I really hope you can make it – even for a few hours. There will be three other WSG guys there besides me. I typically check my email in the early afternoon but if Roselle puts me in the Jasmine suite I will have free Internet access so I can check it anytime.
6 days and a wake-up!
