Manila

P-Guy.... tnx to GRo Papa ive used JR a few times... its up to you how you want to play things.... You can call him and tell him what ur looking for and he will bring a few girls to ur room to chose from.... or, you can go out with him to a few clubs around pasay or wherever you want and he will make arrangements for you and just generally be around to help with negociations and to ferry you around from club to club. I personally like the guy and treat him as i would a friend, buying the beers and generally enjoying his company. ( Dont get him too pissed tho as he has to drive you around..!! :) ) What i prefer tho is to get him to take me to the Casas..of which there are a few....you can take ur pic from around 20 girls....( 2 to 3 thousand pesos, payable before you take the girl out).... thats for the night...its up to you if you pay the girl extra...i usually do if she has made an effort :) Normally i choose a girl and then go with them for something to eat and drink before going back to hotel..gives you a chance to get to chat with them a bit...not quite as cold as just choosing the girl and then fucking.! But everyone to there own..:) Thats me...
And dont forget..look after JR...he has a wife and kids and does this on the side, apart from his taxi business....he really does offer a very safe way to see a side of manila that would otherwise be difficult for us white guys....

hope this helps

Flying Scotsman:
Thanks for the advice on JR. I'll be in Manila for a few days next week and will give him a call or text him. In addition to the beers, what do you normally tip him for the services that he provides? Also can you recommend any particular casas? I'm familiar with a couple of them in Davao, but don't know any in Manila.

goodenough...... i dont know indiviadual casas..they change quite often,, but JR will know the places to go. As for tips , its up to you..i tend to be over generous...but its what you feel he is worth to you... taking into consideration everything you have read about him.. :)

Have fun....

Hi there Gents!

First time posting for me. It's awesome for all the information that 's been posted here. Especially, with the detailed information on what to and not to do there in Manila. I do appreciate all of info provided. I cant wait to get there in March! But before I go, is the LA Cafe a nice place for starters? Again, thanks again for all the updated information. And as a US Marine, I say this to all of you: Semper Fidelis! (Always Faithful!).

Take care, Gents.

out2play - The LA Cafe is quite okay, don't go there that much myself, but it covers two floors, has a number of pool tables....a typical bar in the western sense. Of course, the ladies to guy ratio is quite better than the average bar :) While I'm usually used to looking or "hunting" for the girls, this is one place where the hunter becomes the hunted.

Given that, freelancers are the name of the game in LA; don't expect any shows or mamasan's pushing their product (Except for some "Bugaw" or pimps outside, which you shouldn't patronize) Prices range from P500 to a grand...as has been said before, negotiate if you can.

Enjoy!

out2play - I agree with P-Guy. The reason I like the place is that there's no mamasan pushing you, there's no bar fine, and prices are reasonable. In fact, the last time I was there, no mention was made of money, and in the morning I gave the girld P1000 (less than $20) because I had a great time with her. I'm getting really turned off by the bars on PBurgos because they're so expensive and the management keeps aggressivley pushing you to take a girl, pay the bar fine, buy more drinks, etc.

One word of caution. When you leave, make sure t oget a taxi that's metered and insist that the driver turn his meter on.

Have an excellent time!

Hello Gents,

Goodenough: Thanks for the tip. I guess given the global economy situation;we're all tight on our cash. it's not that good either here in the US. With the information you've passed on, I know I can stretch my cash over there in Manila. Man! I can't thank you Gents enough! At least, I'll be better prepared when I get there. Anyway, take care and...Semper Fi!

out2play,

Being the holiday season right now. A lot of bars are really pushing the girls at your face. I really hate it when they shove women and drinks before you even get the seat cushion warm. The pimps outside La Cafe are the same, too. If you are a foreigner, once inside, all eyes are on you. Ratio is good and the freelancers are more subtle in the business deals. Just as Goodenough mentioned, more than several occasions I was able to walk out with my choice before settling on the price. I think the lowest I payed was P 500.

Since your coming in March, save, dream and enjoy.

Gents,

I have some other quesitons. I am considered over there in the Philippines. Fil-Am (born and raised here, we pinoys, in the US simply call ourselves Pilipino. I guess we just like to hang on to our heritage than being "American". hehhehe). Anyway, the last time I was there for a vacation, ladies there can pinpoint a Fil-Am miles away! I was approached several times in front of the Philippine Women's University while waiting for my cousin after her classes that day. I was a little uneasy because of my unfamiliarity of what going on over there. I dont know if it's the way I talk or just what I wear but these girls there were kinda relentless.

I just wonder how will it be over there at the LA Cafe. Are the girls just as aggressive as like those girls in front of the university? or is there a certain "culture" or norm the girls at the LA Cafe abide by? And if you can fill me in on more advise as if was I there with you gents in the bar.

Thanks again, Gents. Semper Fi.

Just a quick note to say Merry Xmas to all fellow mongers, especially on this board.... and to you lucky bastards in manila just now..keep up the reports please..!! Ive gotta wait till mid February..!!

All the Best

out2play - I just got back from Manila yesterday, and confirmed my original hypothesis that the girls at the LA Cafe are pretty aggressive, however a lot of that is attributable to the need for Christmas money, so things should have calmed down a bit by the time you get here. Pinay Lover is also correct in that the pimps outside of the place are relentless, but if you just ignore them they eventual move on to other prey. I paid p1,500 again during my most recent encounter, but I could have gotten away with a lot less. I paid because the service was terrific, though she never asked for anything at all.

Maybe I need to check out the University next time. I cannot pass for a Fil-Am but what the hell. It might be worth a shot to see if I have the same experience as you did.

Goodenough,

Thank you again for the info. Looks like you had a great time! I'm still ichin' to get there! I can't wait, partner! Well, Take care and Semper Fi.

out2play6969:

Happy to help. If you want to hang out when you go to Manila, let me know and perhaps we can meet for some mutual chasing. I get there every couple of weeks.

Goodenough,

Sure! I'll let you know once I get there.

Please contact me via a private message using the WSG Forum's Private Message service.

Hope to see ya there, partner! Semper Fi.

May Everyone's New Year and 2004 be filled with sweat filled sex!

Flying Scotsman Jay R says hello! Next time you are in town ask him to show you Cubao, that's our new spot :) No foreign type would venture that way but you're with Jay R so you know you'll be perfectly safe from criminals and rip offs!

My message below is a general post:

Hey Guys, Happy Holidays!

I've been fairly busy with all sorts of action all over Makati and Metro Manila, what can I say - I hate being alone during the holidays

Anyhow if you're not finding much action in your usual haunts coz of the holidays you probably didn't give my guide Jay R a call or you wouldn't have much trouble at all LOL.

His cell is still 0917 414 5416, I know he's busy tonight and possibly tomorrow with guests like yourselves(I'm all hooked up with a couple of girls from my recent hunts- one's from EA the other's from SD) but he can always squeeze in anyone in the Makati/Pasay area since that's where he makes his rounds.

He knows where the girls are whether it's casas/boarding houses or KTVs he's the best guide in town as many WSG members who have used his services will attest to.

It's the holidays, treat yourself to a guide and a season filled with exhaustion in the horizontal position
