General Information

Pekkakoo,

You're welcome. We are members on this forum to help each other... simple. If you want to go to Cebu first, it depends were you are coming from (your home country). I don't want to know where you're coming from, but mostly because of the long flights, I prefer visiting the location which is most far from my country, secondly the location closer to home to finally fly back home again having the shortest flight. That's my choice, but it's up to you of course if it suits you or not.

I don't know if there are direct flights between Bangkok and Cebu. Personally I don't think so. If you're flying Philippine Airlines, you have to pass by Manila before arriving at Cebu. If you're flying Cebu Pacific Air, idem dito. In case you're flying one of those, check out their websites first for their flight times. I seem to remember that Cebu Pacific Air only has flights during the night.
You can also fly with Air Asia from Bangkok to Manila, but with a stopover and probably one night in Kuala Lumpur, as I've seen on their website.

I don't know if it's easy to find hotels in Cebu without prebooking. When I've stayed there, I've made all reservations beforehand, including the resorts. Maybe other members on this forum can give an answer on this question!

When I've decided to go to Cebu, I've had arranged my candies (girls) already, meaning that I've made clear appointments with them when and where to meet.
Though, it happened that I've picked up an – in my eyes and for my feelings – ever sweet cutie at Robinson's Mall and kept her with me for 4 days. With this candy, I only visited Bohol. I didn't stay with her in the beach resorts on Mactan Island and Malapascua Island, but when she stayed with me I've wished many times I could've done it. Sometimes things are great and wonderfull, but sometimes you can't change the things as you want them to be. That's the choice you have to make: make appointments with the girls you want to meet and fuck and/or don't arrange anything and see what will happen.

Success...

[QUOTE=Pekkakoo]Thanks for the info Brastrav. Looks like I could easily spend around 10 days after flying to Cebu Mactan from Bangkok. I have a 2 week vacation so I am just starting to think how to allocate it. I have never been to Phils but a few times to Thailand so maybe I limit my days in Bangkok to save more days to Phils. Mactan island beach resort and Malapascua sound nice. I have some DIA and Facebook contacts who I could maybe meet. Maybe it would be best to go first to Cebu City and try to meet some girls, maybe it will easiest there? Malapascua and beach resorts might be too late. Maybe I book e.g. Marriott in Cebu City for 2-3 nights and then let's see. Is it easy to find hotels at a decent rate without a pre booking? Because plans might change depending on feelings and girls that are available. First thing is to find some company and maybe check out some wife material hopefully.[/QUOTE]

Thanks for the info once again guys. Looks like I still have many questions I need to answer and make some decisions myself. I am coming from Finland and flights are a little complicated here from Northern Europe. I could take a direct flight to Manila and then continue to Cebu but it is sometimes expensive. One option is a direct flight to Bangkok and then through Manila to Cebu but BKK-Cebu also not very cheap and flight schedules are a bit complicated e.g. planes arrive 6 am to Cebu. I thought it would be a good idea to stay 2 nights in BKK, the city I know very well, just to get accustomed to the time zone and visit those nice gogos there. But I have only a 2 week vacation and I don't wanna lose too many days there as I am looking to meet girls primarily in Phils. One reason I had thought about 1 week would be enough for Cebu is that like said hotels are kind of overpriced there, dont wanna pay for 2 weeks im Marriott but as also said there are some cheaper options. The best that could happen would be to meet a nice girl at the beginning and then think of other options as trips to other islands with her. Thats why I dont want to pre book a hotel for 2 weeks because I have also heard that Cebu city is not that nice, but it is ideal to arrange meetings at malls and maybe also look around and for 1-2 nights visit girlie bars there. But I dont still wanna lose the time with professional bar girls as I am really looking for gf and wife material.

Now I just have to make up my mind as what to book because November is approaching fast. Maybe I forget Marriott and look for other options. What hotels do you suggest when I prefer location, e.g. close to malls, maybe some gogos but needs to be safe as I will be carrying some cash and a laptop. Also neighbourhood should be safe (if there is any in cebu) as I have read that Phils is a lot poorer country than Thailand and beggars can be aggressive and it could be easy to get robbed too.

I didn't really post a FR of the earlier stuff, probably will do one big one after I get back and can compose my thoughts.

Early afternoon Miss F (who is one of GregLondon's girls according to WR, but I met her on DIA) came up to my room. Not the greatest looker, a bit of body hair. Fun time, she gives a really good GFE, lots of kissing. Last (or in retrospect maybe next-to-last) day of her mens so I had the hotel-room murder scene to deal with after. Had to cut things a little short with her to make my next appointment though.

Miss C, a 20yo student DIA girl. Had some doubts about her and they turned out to not be unfounded. Painfully shy, cute smile but a bit more acne than her profile picture. Came directly from her classes still in uniform. Didn't click with her at all so after some dinner gave her some taxi fare and sent her home.

Last for the night was supposed to be Miss S, a contact from WR. She was supposed to drop by my hotel around 8 but totally flaked, unanswered texts, phone ring-no-answer. Around 10 I gave up and decided to go say good bye to a few of the girls on the Mango bars. Red Lips, Pappilon, Dimples later, I ended up at my usual haunt Pussycat. Miss H was on stage and came down to sit with me immediately. Had some fun talking, her on my lap the whole time. Had some cialis before I started the afternoon and figured I could manage some more before I left and paid her barfine again. Back to Waterfront at about 12:30 or 1, walked her straight across the lobby without security batting an eyelash though they were hassling the australian guy that looked like a beach bum that came in with a girl at the same time to register her. Guess this is one of those times where paying attention to how you dress and behave pays off. A couple pops with Miss H (she can really wear me out) and I really had to crash and no room-safe in my room so sent her off home.

Update since I started typing, Miss S texted really apologetic and is coming over in an hour or so to make it up to me.

[QUOTE=Pete Benetar]Stayed at the Diplomat 2 nights this last February and it was a dump, though I might have been in one of the older rooms. I transferred to the Parklane and was satisfied for the duration of my first - only - trip to Cebu.

Visited Ultra at the Marriott and I think rates were a good bit higher, though it was a pretty swank place.

Please post how your accommodations are at the Diplomat, as perhaps with any renovation or different wing etc, you might get a good value.[/QUOTE]Stayed at Diplomat about a month ago. Its fine. It was not a dump. Its in Fuente, a seedier part of town (Robinson's nearby). It is a 3-minute walk to Robinson's for me. The lobby is nice. The restraunt is nothing to brag about, just some tables and simple menu. The breakfast was p150, and not much to write about, toast, slim piece of ham, juice. Another gent posted two links previously with his videos of his room (it was exactly like mine). Double bed, plenty of room, TV, fridge, in-room safe, wooden floor, good-sized bathroom. The walk up/down F Ramos street after the sun sets looks scary, but I walked it day/night (even late), no problems. Ramos is dirty, but vibrant: internet cafes, restraunts (try Abuhan's), a hospital and two colleges, and a gogo bar (next to Abuhan's).

To give others a flavor of what Diplomat is like: the rooms are just like a Motel-6 in the States (a touch larger with a safe). In the States, Motel-6 is on the bottom end. But in asia, its middle-of-the-road. Diplomat is certainly not the Crown Regency, but its nicer than a pension. BTW, I never stay at a hotel where the rooms don't have an in-room safe (period). If the Crown Regency Fuente had rooms without a safe going for $10 tonight, I wouldn't stay there. Too many gents I've spoken to are hiding their stuff in the room while the girl is in the shower. For the p1380 ($28) net that I paid per night, I thought it was a steal. There are much nicer digs in Cebu, but you pay more.

Pekkakoo,

If you don't need a big luxury room and if you're happy with just a basic but clean, neat room and stay there for sleeping and playing only, I would suggest Apple Tree Suites.
When I've stayed there last year, I've payed 1,398 PhP for a "deluxe room" with a double bed (queen size) and a single bed (for my lugage). Unfortunately, there's no safe inside the room. Also no refrigerator, put if you pay a little amount they will put it inside the room for you. The rooms are small, but as I've mentioned before clean and neat, also the bathroom and there's a tv and aircon inside the room.
Breakfast is not included in the price, but this hotel has a roof top terrace where you can eat a breakfast for 200 to 400 PhP, depending if you're taking your breakfast alone or with your candy.
Reservation can be done just by e-mail. If you book a room in this hotel, just print the answer (reservation) that you will receive from this hotel. Of course Apple Tree Suites is girlfriendly and if I remember well there's free wi-fi.

Apple Tree Suites is located in a side street of Mango Avenue en Osmeña Boulevard. It's close to Robinson's Mall, just 5 minutes walking and some bars are located on the road behind Robinson's Mall
This hotel is also fairly new. It dates from May 2006. Although it's located in a side street, you might think it's not so safe to walk there when it's dark already. I never felt unsafe there and what's more, it's away from the busy main road which makes it more quiet at night.
A tip! Don't take Sampaguita Suites. The rooms are clean but dated and can be noisy to very noisy from passing traffic, especially the rooms located at the front side of this hotel.

Just returned from a 7 week trip to Cebu City. Thanks to all of you old hands who have provided so much information. I had never been to the phils before, but your info made all my activities nice and easy. I really had a blast and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart, to the bottom of my scrotum :D

I wont go into to many detail already posted, but here are some of my thoughts and experiences.

I will say to any other newbies, just take the time to read thru the posts going back some time and you will know everything you need to know. Hotels, transport, where and how to get the girls, how much to pay, how to comport yourself. Its all there.

Don't bother asking obvious quesitons, the info is all on this board, if you take the time to read it. If you do, you will pick up info you didnt even know you needed.

I mainly used DIA as my source for girls and since i had so much time in Cebu, it was a very effective tool for me. The girls can and do flake out, so you always have the Go Go's, Casas, and Jonquera as back up. After you have been there a while, you will develop a very nice stable of girls. The malls are there, but are hightly hit or miss. But when you score one there, its can be quite nice.

I now have one serious gf, and 2 not so serious gf's. 2 are very hot 18 year olds, and one is a very hot 19 year old. My serious gf was a virgin before i came there, and quickly became the best fuck i have ever had. She is a dynamo is the sack. And the other 2 are very good as well. What do they put in the water there? I am going back at the end of the year for a 10 week stay, so its nice to have 3 hotties lined up that i can fuck whenever i want.

The Jonquera action worked just as previously reported. When u drive up in the taxi, the pimp guys will swarm you. be prepared for that. I picked up 2 girls form Jonqeura (not at same time). One was a great fuck, she had amazing pussy muscles and squeezed my dick like its never beens squeezed before. I've had that from Thai girls, but not Filipinas, so i wasnt expecting it. It made for a great orgasm. The other was a starfish. I just fucked her and left her. Both girls I took to Queensland short-time motel. I wont take a Jonquera girl back to my room, even with a room-safe.

Just one caution to add. I am always very careful with my cash and dont flash large wads. I had my main wad hidden, and had put a 500, 200, and several 100 piso notes in my front pocket to pay with. After i had selected my girl and I got the guy down to the PHP 500 figure i took out my small money, and faster than a cobra strike, the pimp reached over (he had got into the front seat of the taxi) and snatched the 500 and 200 Piso notes from my hand.

Shit! This asshole was fast!

Obviously, i should have had the 500P note seperate from the rest. I was careful, but not careful enouph. With a crowd of pimps around the car, i wast going to fight to get the 200p note back. Just be warned these charactors are capable of such a stunt and be prepared if you want to brave the Jonquerra. There are better venues for girls, but it was an interesting experience and very cheap.

I will post some of my other experienes at a later time. The real world intrudes, and i must pay attention to it. Thanks again to you all.

Great info Riverman. I will be there in 7 weeks for about two weeks. I wish I was at the point to be there 10 weeks.

I was wondering how the onsite DIA searching would play out. I am doing it now to have stuff to see when there. I am wondering how you dealt with maybe one of the girlfriends in the room when you were out meeting new DIA contacts. I like to sleep with the girlfriend types and get the morning sex.

Next did you bring up 3 somes with any of the girlfriends? If so how did that work out? Do girlfriends 1, 2, & 3 know about each other? I am trying to figure out how to play all that type of situations. Thanks for the great info to date.

I was wondering if anybody has advice on low or no-fee ATMs in Cebu (for pulling funds via "Visa" debit cards) from overseas banks?

I visited a "BDO" ATM, and they were charging 200 pesos as a fee. (And although the sign on the ATM said it had a maximum limit of 5000 pesos, I actually got 10,000 in one transaction.)

I'm hoping there is some kind of setup here for no-fee withdrawals (as in Thailand where the Aeon ATM's charge no fee. All the other ATMs in Thailand charge 150 baht per withdrawal.)

Yesterday I had my very first "contribution" to the city of Cebu CITCOM enforcers. I was in Colon with a girl and I was outside Metro Gaisano and I went to get in a taxi and some old woman with 380bags stepped infront of me and took the taxi, which happens so no big deal. I looked across the street and saw another taxi stop and the passenger was paying so I took my girl by the hand and hurried across the street. Only problem I was crossing against the green light and just up the street on the corner were 4 CITCOM traffic enforcers and one yelled at me and waved me over. Uggg, BUSTED!

The enforcer started to explain the infraction and I knew I was in the wrong as 300 locals watched my imported ass get the full and very public talk and I decided to play the dumb tourist. That did not work and he informed me the fine was 50P per person for a total of 100P. I talked to him and he seemed like a nice guy and I was relieved the fine was not much higher. Alot of the time they try to extort larger sums to help subsidize the small wages they get. I asked the enforcer to just kindly write his badge number on the ticket and he looked at me. He did so and then he decided to reduce the fine from 100P to 50P to "help me out". I payed the 50P and he presented me with what he called "a souvenir from your trip to the city of Cebu". 50P is just over one dollar so not alot of money but it was a valuable lesson.

I was in Colon to buy a bikini for the girl and we walked around some and shopped. Great prices in Colon. I must have bought 5 or 6 bikinis from there in the past 3 weeks and the most expensive one was a very sexy white bikini at 650P from Gaisano Metro which was the bikini my current girl picked and the cheapest one was only a simple cloth two-piece from Happy Mart which was 139P!

Also very fertile hunting ground for the 18-24yr old shop girls around Colon. Not alot of imported guys go to that part of the city and you will be red meat to the lions for some of those girls. Lots of looks and smiles and hellos. Just stay street smart, wallet and mobile in front pockets, no jewelry and do not flash cash as this area is rife with pickpockets and snatchers. Make sure the girl has her purse and mobile well secured as well but she should know that already.

Met with Wicked Roger and later with FSlag at Ayala on Saturday night and had a good time talking shop. Sorry I had to juggle a few txt messages to take care of the girls. Look forward to catching up again soon, just PM me when you return.

Stroker is quite correct that Colon has bargain shops. But he's also right that there is a VERY significant chance that you will get robbed (let's say 10%). For a well healed local eg a girl with a nice phone, the chance maybe 1% but a foreigner must imagine himself as wandering amongst a group of very poor people with a BIG $$$ sign floating over your head.

A friend of mine stayed in a hotel in the area and thought it was cool to get a room for 500P, then it didn't seem so cool/good deal when he had his wallet , all his credit cards and passport stolen.

Front pocket, no jewelry , little cash should be OK for the busy streets in the day time, in smaller streets and at night time you would still be vulnerable to knife stick ups.

I booked a week at the Appletree suites last yr,but could only take one night there. As you stated the rooms are small and lack a fridge and safe and also no large closet but some kind of cabinet. To small for my wardrobe!! Also im 6ft6 240lbs and that makes the room all the smaller. I beat it back to Diplomat Hotel for the remainder of my stay in Cebu City.

Well, now in Manila, a couple hours to my flight back to Japan. Its been a blast in Leyte/Cebu. This trip at least I managed to bring enough condoms to last the whole time (high-quality super-thin japanese plastic ones). I need to bring more chocolates next time though, the fancy japanese ones worked really well, just wished there were more of them.

Final tally, 12 nights, 13 girls (some more than 1 day, about half/half between DIA and bars, and bar girls were only once except for Miss H).

Final update on the Leyte girl. V-card was not cashed in but despite that went from zero experience (never even properly been kissed) to oral+greek in a week. And has promised it to me as soon as I returned.

You probably want to bash me a couple times for this girl. I'm breaking all the ground rules with her. Let her fall in love even before landing, and worse, I can't break it off with her.

I expect I will be back in Visayas a lot sooner than the amount of time between my last two Philippines trips. Manila is dead to me now.

Until last month BDO and everyone else (at least all that I tried were 150P - max withdrawal 10,000P ) ( I think Citibank is free for Citibank issued cards).

Now BDO is 200P fixed foreign withdrawal fee so is the most expensive. Obviously as teh fee is fixed it makes sense to take the max out each time and use other banks for a slightly lower fee

if you are using a "foreign"credit cad there is a service of 150 to 200 pesos per hit, Metro bank only charges P150, BDo more.

even if you open a bank account and get a local bank atm card you are gonna get charged, I get an 11 p[eso hit everytime I use a non BDo bank atm.

I would look into transfering money via xoom, it is only 4.99 US, that is almost as much as 200 pesos for up to $3000 USD and they will deliver direct from your account to any outlet and even Gaisano mall, there is a whole list of places where you can claim the money. I've been doing this the last year and saved a lot on international wire transfers.
