General Information

I arrived Tuesday the 31 Aug with a Dia girl lined up or the first date! (meet at airport) of course no show.

Got to hotel, checked e mail "sorry I was not there can I come now! Wille grabed my attention and replied "come over quickly. "

The girl came within 20 minutes, her picture on Dia did not do her justice pretty I was told she would score 7/10 I leave that to better judges then me. Only problem I encouted really was her nievity into giving me oral stimulation, It turned out I'm the first contact she has met through DIA which I tend to belive. So further training will have to take place. Her expectation financially I gave her 600 she was happy I was happy good result.

Today writing this report on the 5th Sept, this will be, my 4th encounter with Dia 1no go, (she just got back, what do I get and what do you want) 2, straight sex, 1 today just wanted too much from a 59 year old, (none have demurred when givern 600 peso)forgot lube (where can I buy some)? Please.

Mistakes I have made,

First great idea, thought this would be like Thailand in buying clothes It is hopeless and over priced, (bring your own)

Second great idea, I'll buy a lap top over there and sell before I leave, so surprised at the price they are asking for them (second hand) bring your own.

Third great idea booked a hotel in downtown Mandaue, now spending too much time going to the mulls and back so less opertunity to run back with a conquest still I'll change hotels next week.

[b]Mall Pickups - [i]SM Mall Cebu[/i][/b]

Cab fare was just under PHP50 on the meter from Ayala Mall. Mall was heaving, it being a Sunday afternoon. Noticed quite a few Japanese and Korean female tourists, usually in pairs, window shopping. A single Korean female in the outdoor patio of Coffee Bean, busy texting on her mobile phone. Again, no visible talent. Am beginning to think I either have no luck, or don't have the right approach, or don't look the part, i.e. like someone trying to find a *****. :D

Did a little shopping, retired to the Marriot.

After a late dinner, re-attempted to do a small bar crawl of the Mango Ave bars, then finish at Jaguar. Began at 9 pm. Didnt make it to Jaguar in the end. Perhaps all the better.

[b]Mango Ave Bars - [i]Red Lips[/i][/b]

New bar located off Mango Ave on a small alley adjacent to Yellow Cab Pizza. About 10-15 girls, but many (waitstaff and mamasan included) seemed focussed on Japanese/Korean customers. Spotted 2 I would BF, but they were occupied with, yes you guessed it, Koreans/Japanese clientele. (Mamasan Cora)

[b]Mango Ave Bars - [i]Vikings[/i][/b]

Thought I would drop by here as it apparently is an institution in these parts. Went straight to the bar and ordered a drink, in full view of the stage. Spotted 1 or 2 I would BF but again, 1 was taken by a Japanese or Korean client, the other was 1 of about 4-5 girls the mamasan brought to a single Japanese/Korean client, who was buying everyone a round. wtf? I was noticing a trend here. Took ages before mamasan would acknowledge me. Had 1 drink and left. (Mamasan Nene)

[b]Mango Ave Bars - [i]Love City[/i][/b]

Thought I might try this place since I pulled from their sister bar last night. ;) Spartan but efficient set-up of a central and large circular stage with dance poles. Bar off to one side. Tables surround the stage for a full 360 deg. live view. Wow... counted at least 3 I would readily BF, including 1 that was amazing on stage with her acrobatic abilities. Unfortunately she was already tabled. Didnt take long to spot my PSE for the night. Then came the shock of the PHP4000 BF. I was like "look, everywhere else here its PHP1700", what gives? Mamasan Layka would not budge, claiming that was the price at Love City. Negotiated that the girl absolutely stays LT and should expect nothing more than PHP100 cab fare when she leaves - all terms eventually delivered satisfactorily by the girl, who just left my room as I'm typing this. Its 1:45 pm and she provided 2 long pops, 1 last night and 1 before she left.

This concludes my little Cebu adventure.

... Leaving soon for Manila for the transit home.

[QUOTE=SergeantRay]Raverboy,

Anybody who is a runner gets NOTHING. In my book if you do nothing, you get nothing. I think giving 100 pesos for the cab just encourages that behavior.[/QUOTE]

Noted, Sarge. Good rule.

[QUOTE=Westcoast1]My tip rarely varies: P100 for taxi/tryke, in any city in phils.[/QUOTE]

Yes, but the confusion is due to semantics. EDSA girls expect PHP2500 or thereabouts for LT in addition to the BF of PHP1600 paid to the bar that is split (or not?) between the bar and the girl. The PHP2500 really should be called a 'fee' but I refer to it as 'tip'. Yes, with the inverted commas. :)

Good TR...hope you enjoyed your stay in Cebu..

[QUOTE=Starchild2012]Good TR...hope you enjoyed your stay in Cebu..[/QUOTE]

Yes, thanks to all for the reports on this thread. I doubt I will return (for a pure mongering trip), as I believe the transit and extra return flights to and from CEB from MNL do not justify it as a mongering destination to me, considering the offerings. I'll stick to my [i]secret[/i] shortlist, MNL retains its position in it. ;)

Good to see you settling in Col.

3 solid pieces of advice. The first is especially important if you need very large sizes, but even if you are average size the quality/cost of clothes in Phils is very poor. As Col says, don't expect another Thailand, the number of foreigners here is not large enough to justify the shops stocking Western sizes/quality.

Laptops here are 6-12 months out of date compared with the West and about 25% dearer than in the UK let alone the US, so buying overseas is a good idea. They do however come with US English keyboards which is an advantage over Thailand. If you want to spend alot of time hanging out with girls in your room and you use your laptop alot consider also buying a netbook as a second computer, it will increase your popularity considerably.

I think netbooks are fine for checking email, ultra mobility and as a second computer etc, but if you are planning to do much work on then during your stay, most people will find the basic processor and small screen size very annoying after a while. Personally I bought a cheap 17 inch screen model (with a dual core chip, low end graphics card and 1GB of storage). Obviously its chunky to carry around, but not substantially more than the standard 15inch laptops. As I use the laptop alot for photo editing and stock analysis, i mind the extra pixels/screen size a great benefit.

[b]Raverboy's Cebu Sept. 2010 Trip Summary and Observations - [i]for the benefit of ISGers[/i][/b]

Note: I have made multiple trips to the PI in the last 2 years and have visited MNL (multiple trips), AC (multiple trips), Boracay (1) and now Cebu (1).

1. Mall pickups - Higher hit rate if youre a caucasian male or look typically Korean or Japanese. I suppose that applies to most of you reading this. The pinays tend to avoid anyone who looks remotely pinoy, likely for fear of undercover cops. As a mid-late 30s Singaporean Chinese, I probably look Chinito from suburban Makati and potentially like Authority, so I had zero success rate in Cebu. Only exception I have found is Robinsons Ermita in MNL, but then again I got hit on only by a bakla or two. (!)

2. Cebu Airport taxi situation has changed. Head across the driveway out front of the Arrivals area, go up the stairs to the metered taxi line adjacent to the entrance to Departures. Drivers are required to put on the meter. Airport to Marriot should be around PHP 150 (USD3+change). Just my opinion, but the poor taxi khuyas certainly deserve a tip if they render a polite and efficient service to you without trying any monkey business. I am expatriate in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, where the taxi fare from the airport to District 1 is about USD 6 (about VND 120,000) on the meter, and I thought it couldnt get any cheaper!

3. Mango Ave bars - Sure, I only have a sample size of 3, but from what I have observed, mamasans and bargirls overwhelmingly favour the Korean and Japanese clientele, more so here than at EDSA in MNL. Likely for their spending habits and low maintenance. They have their own forums like this one and live in their own worlds, so I doubt many would be reading this, but don't they say, 5-5-5? (that's 5 inches, 5 minutes, 5000 pesos) or was it 3-3-3? :D

4. Jaguar and Arena - Since I didnt make it out to Jaguar (only Arena) and for the sake of argument, I'll assume they are both 'in the same league' and therefore similar. There's way too much hype on here and on another website or two about these bars. The same preference of mamasans and bargirls was observed (I derive this from their indifference to me even though I'm a paying customer just like anyone else). At Arena, once a girl sits down with you, you will be told politely that it is 'company policy' that you order a LD @ PHP 600 for the girl, and that it is also 'company policy' that for the 1st LD you order, you are also required to buy the mamasan an LD @ PHP 600. Ergo, you will be out PHP 1200 (about USD25) at the get go. You have been warned. This must be the only place in the PI where a damn pussy drink is more expensive than in my own country.

5. Mermaid Bar - I had rather good expectations for this place from what I read on this board and elsewhere on the net, only to be disappointed overall due in large part by a persistently thirsty and hungry bargirl. If anything the route out to Mactan from Cebu City is crap. There is construction at one or two major intersections along this route now, and they seem to be working late into the night, if not 24 hours.

6. As I did on my previous visit to the PI, I sent out messages on a social networking site (not a dating site like DIA or FH). Got a much lower hit rate for Cebu than I did for Manila on the previous visit. But then again, I dont have much time to waste on these sites, nor do I really care.

7. A word on the Marriot - you really cant beat the location and the quality vs. price quotient. You might be put off by their security, but after all it's for your safety and they are girl-friendly by this board's definition (no joiner fee, no interaction/conversation with your date). Just that security is tight, and I counted 2 at driveway entrance, 6 or 7 at the door/x-ray machine = 8-9 security personnel (mostly male, 1 female) in total when you return with your catch-of-the-night, so it can be intimidating. She has to sign in with your room number on a log-register placed conveniently at the front desk but this will be while you stand around looking like a happy fool in full view of the 6 or 7 afore-mentioned security personnel. I entertained the thought of switching to the Parklane to avoid this scene altogether, but in the end decided against foregoing the comfort, quality and convenience of the Marriot just to save a few bucks.

8. [i]A side note and just a comment: I caught a bit of the live telecast where the Board of Inquiry was interviewing (inquiring?) a PNP Colonel (the 2nd-in-command?) about the Mendoza incident. It was absolutely atrocious. I did not see or hear anything on this guy's face nor from his words that indicated any sense of responsibility nor integrity nor any sense of wanting to see justice prevail on this matter, even though it was clearly a breakdown in the chain of command and an overall failure of their system to respond to such an 'crisis event'. It was all "Ma'am I was not there", "Sir I did not see", "Ma'am I do not know", in response to some pointed questions by some of the members of the Board. I hope the Chinese government steps in, that's when the shit will really hit the fan. This is the same government that will not hesitate to open fire on its own people in order to restore order. [/i]

Just my 2 pesos.

Cheers.

Nice post RB. Sorry you didn't have a better experience in Cebu. I think you are right that the Pinay girls are very racist. Most of the girls I have come across say they are looking for white guys (of course this may well be partly a question of self selection.) The Japs and Korerans do well as they have a reputation as easy money. In my view the commercial scene in Cebu is rather second rate and overpriced compared with other SEA destinations and for me the main attraction is the semi pro scene available through DIA /Tagged. Personally I've never had too much luck in malls, I think my size puts off all but the hardened pros who i am not so interested in.

DIA / Tagged IS hard work and time consuming (unless you have a slice of luck) but CAN be very rewarding. I think as ethnically Chinese you would be at something of a disadvantage as many Pinays have yet to wake up to the fact that Singapore is now richer than Europe. If you decide to return to Cebu send me a PM and Ill be pleased to provide you with some good contacts.

Man, Wish you had posted this couple of years ago :) I made all the wrong decisions in buying clothes, buying a laptop and booking a hotel...all three mistakes cost me more than 40,000 pesos..I should have brought clothes from home that does not get worn out in three months and pay double...should have brought a laptop and booked a hotel which looks like a hotel and not pay double the charges..

All newbie mistake...im wiser now hopefully no new trick will be played on me this time :)

GL

We may differ on the malls to a degree but maybe it is because I hang around there and drink coffee etc more than others and I smile all the time to cuties. But as for your size....remember we are all the same size lying down, or doggy...:D And I can vouch that you dont put the girls you know off :)

RB, I have seen and known some girls who will not touch anything except westerners (for them it means white guys) mainly as they think the guy is wealthy and from the USA (mainly) as that is where many aspire to live (not surprising given where they currently live), more respectful and not "dirty". The latter word was used by a girl I know a while back to describe a very good friend of mine who is British but is not white...he is more Brirtish than me..but she could get past his colour. Disappointing and I have since dropped that girl from my contacts. Conversely, I know girls who would love to meet you (as could GL) and they dont judge you by what you look like etc, your ethnicity just you are ncie guy albeit horny as hell for slim pinays :D...as GL said you just got a tad unlcuky but dont let it dissuade you from returning to Cebu. I like the city far better than Manila (though I have certain reasons for liking it as well ;))

Nice FRs BTW RB, good to see a new person's perspective on Cebu

I saw the same interview as was widely covered on TV channels here and was funny if it was not so tragic. The big guy trying to explain that even though he went out of town he was still in charge and was doing a good job. Equally the person with the questions could have much tougher as the police chief never showed any remorse. IMHO , just a public 'front' to try and appease HK thats all ...as too many important people cant lose their positions over this so try and find a scapegoat....PI for you IMHO

And DIA, Tagged etc can be great but you need put in the effort and many are not or cannot do so, especially if you are in PI a short time it can be very tough

OK good to know, thanks for the info. So are there no more yellow metered taxis as you exit the arrivals level? Does anyone know if it is only local white taxis with standard 30P-2.50P fee structure, or the usual 70P-2.50 metered yellow taxis?

[quote]5 There is construction at one or two major intersections along this route now, and they seem to be working late into the night, if not 24 hours.[/quote]
The old bridge or the new bridge has construction on it and on what side?

GL: As I said in one of my previous posts, I doubt I will return to Cebu for pure P4P, opting instead to bring my own date or gf. Nevertheless, thanks for the kind offer.

WR: What you said is true, except you should see how fanatically clean some of the East Asians (Japanese and Koreans) are. Its ingrained in their culture to be at bathhouses twice a day at least. To me, their main problem is bad breath. Maybe its all that garlic and kimchi.

Allow me to be completely frank in saying this, but IMHO the primary reason why some Pinays, as you said, would not touch anything except white guys, is because of something as simple as wanting to have beautiful mixed children and live the 'model family' life in their husband's home country (US, UK, etc.). The western societies are certainly more 'welcoming' of this than the more conservative eastern societies. These girls know that - they watch TV. There are many Filipino actors/actresses and models who are mixed. These girls know they would 'fare' better bringing up mixed children (considered beautiful and unique) in a western society than they would mixed children in an eastern society, and all hope for that ticket out of the post-apocalyptic (as another ISGer eloquently described it) environment they live in.

Asian societies are all rascist. Sad but true.

Stroker, I did not see any yellow metered taxis. Everyone who arrived that day was taking local white taxis with the standard 30-2.5 fee structure.

Construction was observed at one or two [b]major intersections[/b] along the route as I said in my previous post, not on the bridge. I only used the new bridge for all crossings to/from Mactan.

RB

I had forgot to add that point which is very true. Many FRs here about girls wanting a white baby and their obessision with it. Many mongers I know have been told not to worry about bringing up the child, just get the girl pregnant so the baby is white, maybe blues eyes etc ...I have experienced this a few times and it is a very worrying problem as the Catholic church does enough to overpopulate the country (and the world in some respects) without mongers like us increasing the load.

You should come back Cebu and contact GL or even me, contacts are everything and some of us are happy to share. Or bring the girl but make sure she likes threesomes and is bisexuaul :D That way you get the best of both worlds IMHO :D And we can share as well :)

WR is right about contacts. Coincidentally I met a girl a couple of days ago who I think could be of interest to WR. Based 2 hours into provincial Cebu but unusually for a province girl said she had tried and very much enjoyed anal (but only with modestly proportioned guys), spanking, being tied up, MMF and FFM threesomes, collared and unspecified other "naughty" things. Somewhat to my surprise she turned out to have a very nice personality, great ultra petite body (though average face).
