Yesterday, after a quick jump in the Lone Star, I went to Silver Dollar again.
Nice atmosphere, got in touch with some expat living here. Nice time and nice advices about local talents. If you read me, thanks mates.
I met again Angelica, a girl from Manila that the night before asked me 750+2000 for overnight, request I declined.
Yesterday night she agreed for 750+1000, and to be paid next morning too.
So, no more running away after one pop. We spent a good night, nothing to write home about but fair enough. This morning I gave her 1000+200 as a tip.
As for the Hotel, I'm in the Beverly Boutique Business Hotel aka Eddie's. In fact everyone knows it as Eddie's.
Not a Boutique hotel, not a business one but a perfect mongering location. Just a few steps from Lone Star and from the vikings. Absolutely no problem on bringing girls with you.
Just basic breakfast, friendly staff and clean. Good rates via agoda.

I get even better rates because I call up Peggy the friendly receptionist on the phone and ask for the best rate possible.
She has never failed me yet hehe but they do know me quite well there.
I'm planning my trip from about end of Dec to middle of Jan and saw that Sinulog Festival is from Jan 6 to Jan 17 or so. I imagine hotel prices will be jacked up for this, will be better to avoid Cebu or is it a good time to visit?

I would avoid visiting at that time because of the influx of more people and higher prices!! Traffic is bad enough at normal times,so I could only imagine it when thousands of more people or in cebu. I heard they close down streets also which adds to the problem!
[QUOTE=On The Road]Went to Sisters tonite 11pm, 20+girl, only 1 japanese customer paying too much. 200 Lady Drinks, 1800 Bar Fine.
Girls were beautiful, but due to the lack of other customers you can't avoid to have at least 4 of them around you, asking for a lady drink, a tip, a balut or a promise to barfine them next day.
Barfined a girl, really passionate in the bar (with two LD). Too much passion, should raise some alarm. The mamasan oushed for LD.
Agreed for 1800BF, house rules, up to the next morning. All the other girls told me "nice fine", "she is very good" and so on.
She turn out to be a runner, just after one (quick) pop.
The excuse was a fight with the mamasan for a problem with the salary. In fact she argued with the mamasan when we exit in a language I wasn't able to understand, but this looked acted and not real, so I guess the mamasan do agree with her on her running away fast.
So, for my personal experience, avoid Sisters (maybe all other bars are similar, don't know).[/QUOTE]
Me and my gf barhopped there and let me tell you the girls there are like sharks!! I was with my girlfriend but that didn stop them from hawking for drinks by massages(i declined) and they wouldn't take no for answer! So I said HELL NO I already had massage today!! Not many gwapa girls there also.

Actually, Sinulog is on January 16 so I would avoid that weekend unless of course you are up for the party.

It does sound like a cool festival. The last day of sinology i.e grand parade is on the 16th. I bet it would be fun to watch with several photo ops. Too bad that I am going to have to miss it.

i stand corrected: with a bit of luck, i think you can find a girl for a long term relationship in the pi. i did not, but the girls in cebu changed my mind. even though they were on the game, they were interesting and different. read on if you like.
first, let me say almost all of what gets written here on the forum by you guys is spot on accurate and helpful.
p. burgos (makati) is indeed expensive and sort of weak. edsa is a lot like nana plaza (bkk) with the best variety and friendly girls and reasonable bar fines. you get pounced on in the burgos bars and pushing drinks is aggressive. not to mention when you have at your table of 4 or 5 girls just hanging around because the club is empty. each one looking for drinks.
different at edsa. i never got to angeles or the other places. but if you are in manila with limited time, focus on edsa.
airforce one is a huge complex, fancy in p. i. terms, where business guys go to entertain clients. 3 tiers of classes, (1st class; business & coach) with the hottest girls in 1st class for the most money, down to the 30 why / o chunky mommies in coach. you get the idea. the average monger should probably stay clear of this place unless you want to be a high roller for a night. go first class or you will likely be disappointed.
cebu.
a while back i posted a few comments about s. e. a. go-go babes and got flamed a bit. a small flame, like from a bic lighter. but here's the thing: i just got back from cebu and my attitude has changed regarding filipina go-go girls. at least the ones in cebu.
here's what i learned: the cebu girls are very different than the girls in manila. they are more "real," i would call it, and this may be the reason. i think the girls in manila are more or less alone in the big city and subject to all those difficulties. nobody is there to help them so they are there to do what they got to do.
it's different in cebu. (. the second largest city for those who don't know, but cebu plays out like just a good sized town.) the island seems mainly rural and industrial apart from a small downtown cebu with a few high rises. all the girls i met were mainly local girls from the region, and i think that's the difference.
in general they have families pretty close by, so they are less serious than their manila sisters. they are more relaxed and they don't go with you if they don't feel like it. in my experience, typically, a babe in manila wants the cash and doesn't think to long before saying,"yup, let's go."
i had my eye on this cutie from the black hole. a petite thing with the most delicious shaped caboose [named: "summer" if you get there and want to test your luck; an ass to die for]. and for two nights i was buying her drinks and flirting until the third night, playing pool, i gave her the hard word and she just wasn't into it. plain and simple. i'm not brad pit but i'm perfectly acceptable 99% of the time.
[ (*). the small place with the one pool table at the back? ]
but this is what i'm talking about in cebu. they have family. they don't always need to go with the idiot buying drinks. they aren't desperate. it makes them seem a little more normal, not like sex robots you might sense in bkk or mnl.
"dimples". an ok place, but be warned: i discovered the cute, young hotties in the white bikinis are mainly eye-candy to suck you into the place and keep you there buying drinks. when i was there, the girls in red outfits were on the take-out menu. i learned this the hard way.
i was sweet on this one adorable honey. 20 why / o but looked innocent and youthful. petite and smiley. she agreed to go with me, bar fine, off we go. long story short: she had had a kid 1 month earlier (my bad, always ask) , she claimed i was her first, which i didn't believe, of course. i began to believe because she was petrified, petrified, when we got into the hotel room. literally shaking.
i was way off balance, starting to feel bad for her, wondering if i was being played, going slowly, ready to abandon ship. but she got her shirt off so i figured we were still sailing. then, when i brushed against one of her perfect firm guns, she lactated a little! yikes! right on the bed! lac-tate-ted. wtf."thanks everybody, you've been great, good night!" suddenly, i realized every word she had told me since getting into the taxi was true. now i know that lactating thing is a turn on for some of my fellow mongers, but ahhh, no thanks. not me. this girl made a mistake by agreeing to go home with me. i'm no [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord126][CodeWord126][/url] so she got dressed and i took her down to the street, gave her a few hundred p and put her in a cab. though she was 20, she was not ready for anything beyond the eye-candy dancing at dimples.
"papillon". on the upside, i got extremely lucky at papillon bumping into a petite, dark-skinned 19 why / o spinner
named angel. and again, this is a normal girl who you might be lucky enough to meet at your local community college, just short on money and willing to bang the occasional foreigner to balance the books. otherwise, a really normal girl. i say this only because i saw the girl's fb page recently, and it could be anybody. your sister, your ex-girl.
she was a little shy in the rack but she knew why we were both there. perhaps i delude myself, but it was almost like picking up a cutie from meat market bar in my town. her tiny body was adorable and perfect [google: "thainee" with the safe search "off."] and she liked getting a massage. she went for the body oil and i almost blew just rubbing it on. heaven.
the forum. the final truth i will concur with: every p. i. babe i hooked up with was willing to give a bbbj. [none allowed bb-fs, but i wouldn't want it. ] they were all pretty good at it. (in thailand, some just won't do it and others you got to coerce with more dough or holding them to the verbal agreement.)
i was a little down on the p. i. because it was so dirty and difficult and swelteringly hot. but that's s. e. a.
whattayagonnado? i would go back to cebu now that i know the go. and probably grab a gal and take her out to the east side of mactan. it's not far, just the other side of the airport. there are some ok resorts, one in particular. the boyla hotel and scuba shop. only p-900 per night with a pool etc. good value. it's not the hilton but if you want to stick with your budget. spend the xtra cash on the bar-fining your perfect babe for a couple of nights and avoid all the nonsense in the center of town.
sorry for the long note. nothing really new here. just thought i'd post the report.
Gents,
I'm currently in Thailand and will have to do a visa run at the end of the month and among all the options available, I have decided to go to the Philippines for the first time. After some research, I realized that Manila is best avoided and a better option would be Cebu. I'd like to ask the experts in here what would be a good / best area to stay at in Cebu? I am right in my decision to skip Manila and go to a smaller city where the girls are less hardcore, more down to earth like Cebu?
If anyone's in Cebu at the end of the month, early Jan, would be cool to meet for some drinks and share stories and maybe go hunting together.
Thanks guys,

Thanks guys, [/QUOTE]Well you have been a member of ISG long enough to know that you need to read this thread.
If you want girls, stay around Mango Ave area (Gen Maxilom Ave)
If you want beaches and sea, stay on Mactan.
If the first option, then search for hotels that say Cebu City. Ignore Mandaue or Lapu lapu or Mactan.
Avoid Colon area unless you are comfortable with sleazy streets full of car fumes and touts.
Remember that Sinulog Festival is on the week January 10 - 16. Avoid Cebu then. It is chaos. Very hard to find taxis and if you do it is no use anyway because the streets are clogged with cars. Prices go up; all hotels are filled; beggars are everywhere and so are the pickpockets and other low-life who crawl out of their holes around this time because they love crowds and unsuspecting tourists.
I have been there for Sinulog a few times but the novelty has long worn off. I was actually in Cebu for 5 days of business in the week before Sinulog 2010 and I left after 2 days. Hated it. Wait until at least January 19 or thereabouts if you prefer more relaxed conditions. Cebu is not itself during Sinulog so whatever impression you get it will not be accurate.
I actually love Cebu but only for the other 49 weeks of the year lol

Ah well, guess I'll be diving in Sabang that week. Or else scuba in Bohol if I find a girl in Manila I like well enough to take with me.
Thanks for the heads-up, RK. I knew Sinulog was on, but I didn't know it was as ugly as that.

i actually love cebu but only for the other 49 weeks of the year lol[/quote]i would also add read the hotel thread as some useful tips. much depends on what your budget is also. if a lot try radisson or marriott (silly prices) if not try diploamt, richmond plaza, golden peek, mango park. again some charge for wifi and some it is intermittent. if prices are medium budget then plenty choices (parklane, diamond suites, crown plaza, elizabeth)
i avoid colon, even locals get ripped off there and friends of cebu favourite recently was mugged (again!)
rk likes cebu for a number of reasons and if offered peaches and cream during sinulog he would enjoy cebu trust me :d he may stay in his hotel all day but but he would enjoy :)
s13. check your pms also

Thanks for posting your excellent report! No reason to be sorry as this thread needs more reports like yours!
Looks like you have discovered how cool Cebuanas can be as I'm sure you will be back soon!
If you stayed at the Boyla Hotel, can you give a review of the place perhaps in the 'Cebu Hotels' thread?
