[QUOTE=Riverman; 1125760]This, of course, is pretty expensive for a sex act here, but not totally out of line, IMHO. I took a jonquera girl the other nite, and by the time all was said and done (payment to pimp, taxi, short-time hotel, tip / taxi money to girl the full cost was around P1, 400. So a great massage and a dedent hand job was OK for P1, 500.

Riverman[/QUOTE]Just to let you know. You only need to pay the pimp for the gals service and nothing more. The only other expense would be the taxi ride back to your regular hotel. Why bother renting another ST hotel if you have a hotel already?

[QUOTE=Phantomtiger2;1128141]You only need to pay the pimp for the gals service and nothing more.[/QUOTE]And beware of JONQUERA girls. All the Jonquera girls left after one pop even 3 hrs ST have been agreed in the presence of the pimp.

And most do not want to give a BJ even they agree when the pimp were around.

Just my own experience

Only hassle so far.

My experience has been completely the opposite but I tend to spend a long time walking around trying to find a girl that gives off the right vibes. It is totally subjective but so far I have been lucky and many of the the Jonqera girls have actually provided a true GFE. However I have gone there on many occasions and after walking round, decided not to take a girl because I just didn't feel right about the ones I saw.

Phantomtiger you are correct. I pay 500 to the pimp up front and that is short time which can be from 3-4 hours. I haven't had any girls try to do runners, in fact I couldn't get rid of a couple of them. Don't know why Riverman paid so much, it should have been 500 plus taxi fare there and back so a maximum of 650 depending on the location of your hotel. Jonquera girls in my experience do not expect tips like some of the bar girls do, however if I really like the girl I usually get them to stay till lunch time and I give them another 500 which is still only 1000. They are always happy to pay their own taxi fare out of this. I like to get to Jonquera at least a couple of times during each visit, I feel at home in the seedier parts of town for some reason

[QUOTE=Fslag338;1126520]For those of you following the case of the Norwegian and his Fil gf being arrested for the supposed murder of the young kid: the chief of police resigned today (forced by the governor) because of his handling of the investigation. Couple will be released any moment. So it is not so bad as many negative comments suggested.[/QUOTE]They were set free today without bribing anyone.

The only thing that they had to pay was lawyer fees.

I wonder were all the evidence and witnesses disappeared to?

But the police should now put in all their efforts to get the one person that has done this terrible thing.

The law works without bribes, but VERY s-l-o-w.

Of the Cebu bars or places, my understanding is that mostly the girls remain clothed, I think sisters was where they did a little topless last time I was there.

I like nothing more than picking a set of breasts from the line up.

Are there any decent "show" bars left in Cebu & surrounds that anybody knows of where you get to inspect the goods before you buy?

This might make the difference.

I just searched the girl our from the taxi when the pimp sat inside the cab already.

Maybe I just had back luck?

I was thinking to pay the girl after service and NOT the pimp ahead to avoid runners.

Ram[/QUOTE]I think all the girls in Jonquera require payment to a pimp up front, that is certainly my experience since going there and I suppose it does not leave you any more vulnerable that paying a barfine up front, although you could in theory go back and complain at a bar. The key is to handle the pimps firmly but politely, they can be very determined and persistent and will use any opportunity to accompany you around. Just tell them you are having a drink (there are lots of shacks selling beers or soft drinks) and then walk round alone at your leisure without any pressure.

For those punters uncomfortable with the walk of shame, I think the Parklane is brilliant. The top level of the parking garage underneath the lobby is open to the street 24/7 and is staffed with a single dick. All these are friendly enough with a nod, wink, and 20p once in awhile. Elevator direct to your room, no worries.

Thanks.

I always assumed Jonquera is the "basketball court" only and I only have been there and with a taxi to the entrance of the "basketball court" and picking a girl in the night.

Seems there is more? All JAKUSALEM up?

Please. Enlighten me and I will take a new look when I am there next time.

Maybe pm?

Ram[/QUOTE]I have cut and pasted part of a post that I submitted on Jonquera last year (see below). I could write a book on Jonquera so PM if you need any specific questions answering and I will be happy to oblige. There are many old reports on Jonquera and you may find a lot of your questions have already been answered on the Cebu thread.

Had a wander round Colon Street today and noticed quite a few what looked like down and out foreigners sitting in bars downing afternoon san migs. Even saw one westerner sat in the gutter with some street dwellers with a filthy looking white vest and shorts, almost looked like he had been living on the streets as well.

Went into Jonquera for some earthy excitement. I know Jonquera has been reported on hundreds of times by others who are far more knowledgeable but it doesen't hurt to give some up to date feedback. I had a quickie there today with a young looking 19 year old cutie, more to fulfill a burning need and not really worth reporting on in detail here.

For those not knowledgable, Jonquera is actually the name of a street that has adjacent to it a small town of wooden shacks and tin huts, typical slum dwellings that house many young hookers. The place is like a rabbit warren and encircles a basketball court. If you order a girl from a taxi driver, street pimp or doorman, chances are that the girl came from Jonquera. The only difference is that they will charge you anything from 1500 to 2500 whereas if you go there yourself the average rate for a few hours is 500 pesos. Quite a saving for doing your own leg work!

There are lots of alley ways leading into this place but the main entrance to this area if you can even call it that, is a wide alleyway leading from Jakosalem Street (a short walk from Colon Street). Every single taxi driver in Cebu knows this place if you want to be dropped off at the doorstep, but be prepared as they will usually insist on helping you which means paying extra to cover their cut.

Be warned it can be a daunting place for the faint hearted especially at night, it is teeming with low life pinoy scum, who look like they would most likely rob you given half a chance. Despite this appearance you are quite safe there and I have never had a problem. You will get attacked from all quarters by pimps and sellers, just be firm but polite and you will have no problems.

Afternoons and early evenings tend to be fairly quiet, however if you go around 10pm or later the place transforms, with crowds of young hookers gathered around in small groups for you to choose. For newbies I would recommend taking one or two wingmen, not really for safety but it may make you feel a bit less uncomfortable on your own.

Going there at night is like being a young child let loose in a candy shop, it is definitely the bottom end of the P4P market but trust me you will find some amazing gems there. Happy hunting I may pay another visit this evening!

[QUOTE=Mortman;1128812]I think all the girls in Jonquera require payment to a pimp up front, .[/QUOTE]Correct.

Only other payment needed is for the taxi ride to your hotel and tips for the gal if she was very nice to you (but this is optional and not required as Mortman had reported from his own experiences).
Truth is, I never took any from here LT as for the same price, I could experience 2 gals ST for the same price (maybe even 3 gals if you are a very good negotiator).

[QUOTE=Rampana; 1128797]I was thinking to pay the girl after service and NOT the pimp ahead to avoid runners.

Ram[/QUOTE]Nope. Can't be done here.

Have to pay up front or the the gals won't be free to go with you. Remember, it's the pimp or in some cases the mama that you pay as you never pay the gals directly. It's just the way things are done here.

[/QUOTE]In general, the basketball court is the main open lit area and if you don't know the area, walking around the small dark alleys surrounding the court is very daunting and scary and not recommended for the newbie. Also easy to get lost in the alleys as being a veteran I still sometimes lose my way.

Thank you for your explanations.

I will PM you if I need more advice and guidance when I am in Cebu City next time.

[/QUOTE]It's been several years since I ventured that way with a taxi driver late at night and the memories are quite addled by the booze, but I'll take a further shot at the location. I'm looking at Google Maps in satellite mode and I think the wide alley way referenced appears to be about 400 meters up Jakosalem on your left as you walk away from Colon St. Another 90 to 100 meters down that alleyway and you get to the open area. It might not be the shortest route from Colon, but it seems the most straightforward as it's very easy to get lost in the alleys as once happened to me in another slum area.

Yes, it was an eye opener, I had to rely on my driver for comfort. Not an easy feeling, that. If I go again and am by myself, I'll go during the day to start. Also it's not just the pimp you have to pay up front, your taxi driver if you took one there he will want to help you for an extra tip. Maybe the first time you go, you can let him help you. After that I think you should be able to shoo him away.
