General Information

[QUOTE=Spam Hog]I'm sure one could probably score wearing a loin cloth and carrying a spear, however, it is not very becoming. You should hear the comments that the girls make to each other when they see a sloppily dressed foreigner, some guy with a sleevless T shirt, old shorts and especially flip flops.

Dressing oh so casually limits you to a sort of class of girl, those desperate enought to do anything with anyone. Show a bit of class and you will attract a bit of class which is what mall trolling is all about.

Don't forget, the malls are air conditioned.....

Agreed and disagree. Agreed....I could get laid walking naked on the streets, drop the loin cloth..

Disagree... But where in the PI are you visiting?? Doesn't matter if I'm deep in the province, rolling through the bars in Makati, or picking up girls in Ayala mall. Doesnt matter that I'm wearing flips(slippers), ok - a nice looking pair of polo shorts and a plain white Fruit of the Loom T-shirt. AND with all the Hot filipina's that were either my gf or just stayed a few nights, I let them dress me and thats what they wanted me to wear. (and were not talking bargirls as they really don't give two shits).. They didn't want me getting all dressed up, and I do also carry some nice duds in case of shotgun wedding or funeral...

The main point is be who you are. Filipina's don't care what your dressed in, believe me. Maybe the comments from the fili's that were with you about guys in flip flops were a direct result in a comment you made... Last point - When I'm working in Bangkok I roll with a guy in a wife beater(standard shirt of his preference) and we have zero issues with picking up any girls. And they look upon that a lot more discrimitive than girls in the Phils... And he lives in Tarlac with a smoking hot ass wife who tells him to wear that attire when were out in the PI.... And NO, she makes good money also!!!

Peace out!

[QUOTE=Mortman]Hope that is a bit clearer?[/QUOTE]Yeahh, it is.

Next time I will offer myself to stay over night for extra pay to them directly.

[QUOTE=Gogobarlover]By the way, I forgot that most places in Cebu don't accept older bills. I was trying to exchange an older $100 american bill and several places did not accept. Do any of you know what places would take older bill currency?[/QUOTE]SM, the exchange center near cash register 16.

A female friend of mine is very available. I've mentioned this girl before, she's a nursing student who has manged to get pregnant (14 weeks). Her mum's thrown her out of the house and been sleeping on friends floors and struggling to even more than one meals a day. As you can see from the attached pics she's very presentable, speaks fluent English and is bright, funny and chatty. If you are bored of bar girls and DIA dates who can hardly speak English and would like some dinner company then she could really use a square meal. If you are OK with pregnant girls she would probably be willing to stay with you if required - you can discuss that with her, she's in dire need of some cash. She's very open minded and you can talk about anything or ask her to bring another girl along.

The Lighthouse where the pics were taken is by the way an excellent restaurant located next to Mango Park Hotel on General Maxilom Blvd. If you want her to come out you will need to fund the taxi as she has literally no money right now.

You can PM me for contact details

Photos didnt attach properly

If SM does not work, there is a small money changer on the outer edge of the mall accessable from the parking lot.(you don't enter through the mall entrance) Also check the money changer in the basement of Robinsons Fuente. They have always excepted older bills and their exchange rate is good!

J Smith 5023 and Mattrick, thanks for the info on the money exchanging. I was able to find a place. Fooda saversmart on Mango does exchange the older currency $100 bill. I'm surprised how early Fooda saversmart closes. It closes at 8:00pm. On my last trip in 2009, it was open till 10 or 11:00pm.

By the way, one of the girls I BF from Lonestar also warned me about Mango and Julianas. She did mention to me about the HIV needle thing going around Mango Avenue.

yes this is Jyn

if you can meet her and help her out when you get to cebu that would be cool. I dont think you would regret it plus she has a bunch of sexy girl friends

As one who trys to exchange as infrequently as possible & being too lazy to venture beyond Ayala much. I discovered the exchange joint outside on the upper most (3rd?) level is always @.1% ( USD ) better than the 1 on the inside 1sr floor. As I generally keep a stash of pesos I just watch the rate and trend & replenish when needed. Also found the Globe tatoo, 999p, to be a much less expensive option to access the internet vs the Marriott. 50p for unlimited 24hrs.

This is not really a mongering story but thought I would share it with you guys anyway,some of you may find it interesting.

Was back with Daisy my regular gf and her two kids and staying at the Monteobello Villa Resort in Cebu City. If any of you guys have a gf with kids and you are in Cebu, then I can highly recommend this place, massive swimming pool, kids pool, and extensive gardens that they can explore in complete safety and half decent food. A short 10 minute cab ride to Ayalla Mall, half the price of the Marriot and a completely tranquil oasis in the middle of all the hustle and bustle of this city.

Anyway back to my story. I was with the kids in the pool, had left Daisy in the room to get changed and after 30 minutes began to wonder what had happened to her. I sent her several texts none of which she replied to. 45 minutes went by and my instincts told me something was wrong, so I scooped up the kids and headed back to the room.
I opened the door and was greeted by a sobbing, half hysterical woman throwing herself on the floor like some melodramatic actress from a 50's B movie.

With several minutes of intensive coaxing, I managed to wrest from her the reason for her sudden collapse into a complete emotional breakdown. Apparently her landlady had called her by phone to tell her her house had burned down along with all her (sparse) possessions, her kids clothes, school uniform, the whole lot.

Now I have been with Daisy for around a year and a half but I guess I have spent too long in the company of Thai women so my cynicism stepped in and took over. Without a shred of evidence I just assumed that this was a ploy to extract sympathy money from me. But the children had also started crying when they heard the news and I just did not believe a mother would put her kids through that kind of emotional pain just to elicit more money from me for a tradgedy that she had made up.

I managed to get the number of the landlady and went to the lobby where I knew the receptionist very well. I told her what had just occurred and asked her to call the landlady using my cell phone and try to find out what had really happened. There followed a short intense phone conversation between the two of them and after it was concluded the receptionist turned to me and said "there has been no fire at all, the landlady does not know anything about a fire"

In an instant I felt betrayed and I believed my worst fears had been confirmed. I was now sure that the woman I trusted had lied to me. Boiling with anger, but trying hard to remain calm I returned to the room and effectively told Daisy that if she lied to me again, she and the kids would be on their way back home and never see me again. However Daisy stood her ground, would not flinch and insisted she was telling the truth so I told her what the receptionist had discovered.

Daisy seemed genuinely shocked and she got straight back on the cell to the landlady. Now although I do not understand Visayas, what I did understand from the ensuing phone conversation, is that one almighty mother of a row took place. I then get a text from the landlady saying how sorry she was, she had lied to Daisy about the fire because she was so jealous of Daisy and begging me for forgiveness.

Now Daisy has often mentioned to me how much her neighbours and landlady were jealous of her but I never attached much significance to it before. I often buy Daisy and her kids new clothes and jewellery and considering she and her kids live a very simple and basic life, in a neighbourhood stricken with poverty, I guess she does look out of place wearing gold earings, a gold plated seiko watch, kids with nice clothes etc.

Of course Daisy accepted my apology how could she fail to forgive her only benefactor, but I was genuinely sorry and took her and the kids out for some shopping to show my remorse.

I do not buy extravagant gifts but I guess for Daisy's position in life the gifts are probably as unobtainable to her neighbours, as the latest solid gold, jewel encrusted rolex is to me.

I have often wondered (and even expected) that Daisy would pawn off her gifts when I returned home in the past but she has never done so.
I just thought I would post this little story to show how petty jealousy can turn people into really cruel and nasty individuals and how my cynicism affected and undermined my judgement of Daisy.

She has now gone back to Alegria, apparently the landlady dropped to her knees to beg for forgiveness when she saw Daisy arrive. I wonder whether it is really genuine remorse, OR the fear of Daisy, who is a 2nd Dan black belt Karate instructor....my money is on the latter!

Was with a fellow ISG member the other evening undertaking some further research along the Reclamation Road area of Downtown Cebu. I had been told by a semi pro that I had met, that this area is well known with locals for the availability of street girls who sell themselves for 300 pesos a time. She added that it is easy to find many girls along this road.

Now yes I admit this is the real seedy end of P4P but I am always happy to explore new frontiers and go down market now and again, it can be quite an adventure sometimes. Well I had already visited this area a few nights ago with a different ISG member but we found the pickings to be slim. The cab driver told us it was because we had come down too late (1.30am) and that the optimum time is around 7pm.

So the second visit was conducted at around 8pm but apart from a few skanks, there wasn't too much around. We ended up in a side street of the Reclamation Road and came across the Arena Club purely by accident. I have never been to this club but do recall some posts about it in the past and never wishing to pass up on a potential opportunity the two of us went in.

It was roughly around 9pm, the club was almost empty and the quality of the girls was excellent. It is a 200 peso (non negotiable) entrance fee and the barfine for the girls costs 6000 pesos, however if you opt for one of the supermodels the cost then goes up to an eyewatering 8000 pesos. Drinks are expensive with two Coke Lights costing 80 pesos each. Club looks very slick and upmarket, but then I would expect that for the prices charged.

No wonder the club was empty though with those kinds of prices, or maybe we were there just too early to see how busy it actually gets. Maybe it caters predominantly for the high rolling Koreans, but I for one have better things to do than spend nearly 10,000 pesos on a girl for the night.

Stopped off yet again at Jonquera again for another walkabout. One or two cuties but nothing drop dead gorgeous and not the girls in the numbers I remember from last year. I completely forgot to warn my wingman that when you arrive there at night, the pimps all high on Shabba start to hammer on the windows as the taxi pulls up. They do not really mean to be aggressive just over exhuberant, but my wingman thought that we were about to be attacked and robbed for a second. In fact they were so enthusiastic the driver ended up clipping one of them with his wing mirror as we were pulling into the side of the road. Thought I would mention this in case any of you head back there, please don't worry about this, it is perfectly normal Jonquera behaviour although it can be a bit intimidating at first.

Ended back at Blue Angels again, selection of girls was sparse this night but still a nice place to relax and enjoy a reasonably priced drink or two. My wingman left to get some food and I headed back to Mango Square where we had stopped off earlier that evening. Found an absolutely gorgeous girl sitting at one of the tables with her friends in the square itself and went up to chat to them. She was tiny and only about 5' tall wearing an incredibly sexy white frilly dress over shorts. She had accentuated her gorgeous eyes with tastefulfully applied makeup and I found myself getting hard just chatting to her. I wasted no time at all and told the girl I thought she was cute and asked her if she wanted to come back with me.

Her friends whispered back that I should wait around the corner which I did and after about two minutes her and her friend joined me. The friend did all the negotiating and asked for 1000 pesos up front but I refused and told her I would pay the girl at the hotel. They eventually agreed and off I went with the hottest cutie of my trip so far.

Took her to the Greenland Hotel, I normally use the Sogo but this was my first time at this hotel. Despite some of the adverse comments I have seen on the board about the Greenland, it serves it purpose very well. Extremely discreet, no reception to go through, the taxi drives into the hotel and straight to your room. The room was reasonably clean with a huge bath that could accomodate 4-5 people. For 200 pesos I was not disappointed. Hotel kind of reminds you of a large multi storey car park in a shopping mall, where you drive up ramps to each floor. Although a bit more seedy than the Sogo, this place is by far the most discreet. I actually paid for the room on my way out and was the first contact I had had, with any members of staff since I arrived, apart from a security guard and room attendant.

The girl took ages to shower, would not let me join her and eventually I get her on the bed. Would not kiss and when I tried found her lips to be extremely dry to the point of being unpleasant to kiss. She was a complete starfish but her beauty and shape was enough for me to get off on and after about ten minutes of DATY I entered her and finished within a couple of minutes. Turns out I am her first "Foreigner" which accounts for her friend doing all the negotiating earlier. Won't be seeing her again and dropped her off back at Mango Square with a 1000 peso note in her pocket. I did warn her that many foreigners would have kicked her out for refusing to kiss but don't know whether my warning will be heeded. Anyway she was as good looking as any of the girls in Arena, I don't think she will be charging so little for very much longer!

I wouldn't buy that. If she is drop dead gorgeous and hanging around Mango Square I would estimate the probability of your being her "first foreigner" at less than 1% . Much more likely it's just an excuse to give crappy service and get back on the beat as soon as possible.

Mort it is great that you take the time to share so much. I also read about your last trip in CDO. I wonder where Daisy lives that you could not check it out for yourself. It seems like a lose lose for the landlady to do this. Yet, Daisy has it where she wants it. You taking care of the kids in the pool. Why would she screw that up. Well take care
