Manila

Tried to PM you Aus Dodo, but can't.

Ok, sorry Traveller China for annoying you with my posts! this is a open forum btw, I didnt realise that asking questions and engaging in open psitive chat with members could be "ANNOYING" or shall I limit my posting just so your not "ANNOYED!"....

[QUOTE=Traveller China]Ye gods these posts from you are annoying. Leg it over to the Cebu section under the Philippines and start reading.[/QUOTE]

I was just in Manila for a short four day stay. Between the strength of the peso and inflation in general I am starting to find that Manila is no longer that cheap of a city, decent food and drink are approaching Hong Kong prices in places like Rockwell and Greenbelt.

I stayed on Burgos as is my habit. On my first night after checking in a started to hit some of the bars to say hi to some girls I know and start collecting a few numbers. First stop was WowWowWow where I found out with the exception of one girl everyone including the mama and waitstaff are new in the last two months. Was not overly impressed but there was a somewhat cute 19 year-old so I paid 1500 pesos to the bar to have the curtains drawn and popped my cherry for this trip. Paid the girl 1500 pesos and finished my beer and left.

Went to a few other bars including Tickles which was packed with girls, of which some were good looking, and Hollywood. It was funny when I got into Hollywood as there were these three guys in their early twenties who had been sitting in the row behind me on the plane on the way over talking about how excited they were to be going to the philippines and the hell they were going to raise. In the bar they were being totally outclassed and taken by the girls and they looked shocked to see me. Bought a drink for a regular and told her to have the girls take it easy on the young lads or they'd not have any money left for the rest of their trip with the way they were going through drinks.

From here I hoped into a cab to EDSA as I was not going to pay any of the crazy 4000 peso bar fines that most places on Burgos want and the sweetie who was supposed to pick me up on the airport and be my entertainment for the night did not show, although she was kind enough to have sent me a text so I was not looking for her at the airport. I have to say EDSA seemed to have much nicer looking girls than Burgos this trip and the prices are much more reasonable. Starting to be more westerners there and not just japanese and korean. Picked out a 20 year old girl from Cotton Club I had been with before. 1600 for the bar and I gave the girl 3000 when she left at noon the next day.

Had lunch with the girl who was supposed to meet me at the airport and a few rounds with her back at the hotel until about 6 when she had to head off to one of the Burgos bars to work. Dinner with friends, more bar hopping on Burgos and ended up in Edsa again. Lined up some entertainment for the next afternoon and then back to Burgos where I bar fined some 22 year old out of flamingos. I think her name was Sophia but she was only so-so. Bar got 2,200 and Sophia got 2,000 for spending the night with me. While it was three pops when she was leaving late the next morning she mentioned that she had not performed as well as she normally would and said I likely no longer wanted her number. She was right about that but I have to say she was professional in asking for a lower tip because of her only acceptable performance.

Met up with the 24 year old girl from Edsa I met last night for lunch and some fun in the hotel in the afternoon until she had to go to the bar for work for which I gave her 2000. Dinner with friends ran late and I did not feel like bar hopping so I bar fined the 20 year old girl from Cotton Club again. Spent the night until noon and I gave her 3000 for her efforts. Here's what I love about these girls she tells me it is getting annoying that I am bar fining her and it is costing her money as she gets nothing from the bar fine but has to pay mommy, the lady boy (make-up), medical and the bag lady out of her tip and will I please just meet her outside of work and save her all these expenses that barfining her entails. (For the uninformed Burgos girls get some of their bar fine, EDSA girls do not).

After she left I met up with the girl from the previous afternoon for lunch. After which we explored part of the city I had never been to before and then went back to the hotel until she had to go to work. Again I gave her 2,000 peso.

Had some dinner. Popped into WowWowWow as the the only girl I knew there from before said she would be at work today. As it was still happy hour I paid 750 pesos for the curtains to close and 1500 for the girl. Then went to a different bar to set up the next afternoon and my final there. Wanted to make sure the girl who was supposed to meet me at the airport was going to meet me before I left and take me to the airport.

After hitting a number of bars found myself drawn to EDSA again. Bar fined a hot 18 year old from Bullets called Annette. Turned out to be a huge mistake. While she was hot in the bar, she was knew to the game so very inexperienced and found out back in the hotel that she had a kid, something I normally ask about but had forgotten to. Her tits were terrible. Before we got to the hotel she wanted to eat, so we did that, then she wanted to bar hop as she had never been on Burgos before and was curious what it was like. I put up with that for a while and then we went to the hotel. She was so inexperienced she did not know what to do. Put it simply a decided after our first round I would rather be alone than with her so I told her she could go. She wanted the sun and the moon for payment and while she left with 3000 for her short time she was unhappy. I was so glad when she was gone. I could have saved myself some aggrevation by being more of the jerk with her but it just was not worth the effort.

Woke up in the morning alone and with nothing to do before lunch. Thought I would hit Don Pedro but it is closed down. Did some shopping. Met my Burgos girl for lunch and some fun in the hotel. She then took me to the airport. I gave her 2,500 and she went off to the bar to work.

A somewhat unusual trip for me in that I bar fined girls on each night, which normally I do not do but in general I had loads of fun. The Cotton Club girl seems to think she is my girl friend now and that I should support her to stay in Manila or go back to the province, to only come to Manila when I am there, so she does not need to work in the bar. Not sure where she got that idea but I let her know that it is not going to happen. The girl who picks me up and drops me off knows the score and has no illusions but this other girl was starting to go a little crazy on me.

After reading this long report besides some pricing information about the only other piece of information to pick up on is EDSA seems better than Burgos for the momment.

[QUOTE=Aus Dodo]Hi guys,

Could you please advise where is an excellent resort or action packed location to stay at whilst in Cebu? I'm a first timer to Philippines and frankly have no idea. And any further mongering advise about Cebu would be great, thanks.[/QUOTE]

Excellent detailed report RH.
Tallies with my experiences around Burgos and EDSA too.

Just a note to you RH (and other guys too) that some of the owner/managers read this ISG site. For example, I know the owner of Cotton Club does. It seems from your post that you actually paid barfines each time so you reported only what she said to you but.......for those of you who organise sneak-outs with the girls it is best not to boast about it on here or give too many details or you will get the girl into trouble if not get her fired. It is not too difficult for these owners to put 2 and 2 together.
Good on you if you can pull sneak-outs but better to keep details to a minimum.

Don Pedro is closed? Or was it not opened at the time of day you visited?

[QUOTE=Aus Dodo]Thanks for the great advise sir lancelot,

Basically I consulted with a few friends and travel guide, and am heading a few days to AC, then I'm off to Boracay, and then 1 night in Manilla, I didn't realise Boracay was a dry spot, in regards to girls. Yet I've already paid for my trip so I can't change much. Can you advise me about Boracay? If you went there?, whats the mongering like there?

Do you have any pics of the AC ladies you BF there?[/QUOTE]I just posted a long, detailed report on Boracay in the "other Areas" section.

[QUOTE=Aus Dodo]Hi sirlancelot,

Which hotel would you recommend I stay at whilst in Cebu? And where is all the action at in cebu? Could you give some tips and advise about this.

Thanks[/QUOTE]I'm happy to help but I think that maybe asking all of these questions in the Manila section might possibly annoy some people.

Here's some answers to your questions but you can read more in the individual forums (in which I will post the latest updates from my diaries which will hopefully help you too).

1. The action area in Cebu is on Gen Maxilom Avenue, opposite Iglesia ni Cristo church. In which case, Beverley Boutique is the hotel for you (formerly Eddies) as it's just a one minute walk away. Details in my report (which I'll probably post over the weekend).

2. Borocay has very little action but girls can be found. To be honest, I didn't look too hard (having a break from girls when I went there) but I went to Cocomangas bar a few nights and found it very easy to talk to girls.

3. Puerto Galera - I will post my report later for this. Stay in Sabang and don't worry about which hotel - it's such a small place they're all in walking distance of the gogo bars. It's only a small 'scene' (i.e 6 bars I think) but I thought the quality of girls in Sabang's gogo bars was quite impressive.

4. In terms of getting the whorism/tourism mix - Puerto Galera has a small scene but is good for diving/boat trips, Cebu has a bigger (more exciting) scene, some beaches and is close to Chocolate Hills, whereas Borocay is pretty much just a nice beach and a few discos. Angeles on the other hand, is an out-and-out whorism destination.

I hope this was helpful.

I'm a bit wary that this reply is 'off-topic' for the Manila section so I've attached two more photos - of Lina and Jessica - from my diary below.

here is the latest from my diary. i posted days 3 to 5 in the angeles section but after my accident (!) i returned to manila. i'm aware that not all of this part of the diary is in manila but there isn't a puerto galera section on this forum and i thought the info might be of use to those who plan to stay in manila and might be interested in a diversion from the big city (puerto galera is just a short trip away).

day 6: manila

sadly, it didn't feel any better, it had swollen up - and not the kind of swelling i had planned on this trip. i considered going to the hospital but decided against it because, after all, it was just a bruise. surely it would disappear in a few days?

i decided another plan of action was needed. on a spur-of-the-moment, i checked out of the hotel and jumped on to a bus bound for manila (p120). i decided that angeles was no place for a man with a groin injury (too much frustration) so i might as well go somewhere nice for a few days. my choice of destination was puerto galera, in north mindoro. by all accounts it is a pleasant place with a small girlie scene. it sounded the ideal place to relax and recuperate.

the journey back to manila took just 90 minutes but i decided that i didn't have the energy to head on to puerto galera that same day. i couldn't face another bus-ride and ferry journey, so instead got a taxi from the bus terminal back to amazonia hotel in ermita. the staff recognised me and i got room 101 again. i cursed to myself. i was really enjoying angeles but now i was back in the pollution and noise of manila - all due to a freak injury.

i didn't want my time to go to waste, so planned to explore some of manila's other hotspots, albeit in observational mode only. as the day wore on though, i felt discomfort walking around, so opted to stick near my hotel. ingeniously, i eased the pain by using an empty toilet roll as a protective shield. on the down side though, it made it look like i had a permanent stiffy wherever i walked. :)

since this was my third night staying at amazonia, i decided that the time had come to visit their bar downstairs. it had a sign outside saying 'wanted: waitresses with pleasing personality' which made me laugh. it was nice inside and a good rock band was playing, but there were few girls and even fewer customers. la cafe, a short distance away, would be very busy by 8pm. i ordered pizza and was joined by a lively young girl called pauletta. she was just 4 foot 9, had waist length hair and a bubbly personality, making me high-five her whenever i made her laugh. she struck me as the type who would be a devil in the bedroom - but alas, i was definitely on a night off from pay-for-play. she sat on my lap and painfully i felt myself getting hard, so i decided that it was time to leave. i couldn't afford any temptation.

hindsight is a wonderful thing but if i wanted to choose somewhere where my dick wouldn't be teased, la cafe wasn't the cleverest of choices! i had a few beers downstairs, where again there were plenty of cuties, and then went upstairs to watch the band. a pretty girl kept smiling at me from a table nearby, so i couldn't resist walking over to introduce myself. her name was stella, a petite girl with a short sixties-style haircut that made her stand out from the crowd. i bought her a drink and chatted with her (and her cute friends) for about an hour. i told her truthfully that i would love to go with her but i couldn't that night, describing my unfortunate injury. in case she had any doubts about my story, i took her hand and placed it on my toilet roll protective cover, which made her laugh. i really liked this girl so i took her phone number and promised to call her later in my trip.

i decided to head back to my hotel at about midnight. on the short walk back i heard a familiar voice calling my name. it was pauletta, the girl i met in amazonia earlier that night, looking upset. she told me that her flatmate had gone with a customer but had taken the keys for her flat and she couldn't get in touch with her. "can i stay with you please?" she asked with big sad eyes. i weighed up the situation and decided that it was probably just a clever ploy to get herself a customer. perhaps if i was in full working order her tactics might have worked, but i told her that i couldn't.

apologising, i walked away and within ten minutes was in bed. as i reached over to switch off the bedside lamp, my phone rang. it was reception telling me that i had a visitor. i put on some clothes and walked out to see pauletta sitting there, looking sad. at first i felt annoyed that she had followed me but then i realised that she knew that there wasn't any money in it for her (i had told her so), so she obviously only needed a place to sleep. my valuables were locked away in the safe so i agreed. she was very grateful and gave me a nice goodnight kiss once we were in bed. it was torture falling asleep next to her sexy young body, knowing i wasn't in a state to fully capitalise.

i might have been out of action but i was satisfied with my nights work. i had got stella's phone number, an excellent potential 'meet' for later in the trip, and fell asleep next to another girl. furthermore, my 'good samaritan' act in housing the homeless would surely result in some good karma heading my way soon... hopefully for the bruising to magically disappear by the morning ;).


day 7: puerto galera

alas, the bruising hadn't disappeared, it still felt sore. pauletta was sleeping with her back to me and i watched her for a while. i imagined hugging up to her from behind, stroking her tits and... ouch. i made a mental note not to think any more sexy thoughts until the bruising had gone. admittedly that's not the most realistic aim in the philippines!

so i definitely wasn't ready to rumble. it was a shame, pauletta probably felt indebted to me for allowing her a place to sleep so i might have picked up a freebie. she left early but i made sure that i got her mobile number first. she seemed a likely candidate for a daytime liaison later in the trip. i might have been out of action but at least things were still happening.

my plan was to sleep until 11am but i was interrupted when my phone rang at 10.15am. i had a visitor at reception. "i wonder who that could be?" i said wearily to myself as i threw some clothes on. once again it was pauletta, this time with a friend. "i've got no money, can you lend me 1000 pesos?" she asked. because of my generosity the night before, she obviously saw me as an atm. it's a shame because she would probably have earned herself double that when i returned to manila. i sent her on her way empty-handed.

the trip to puerto galera was easier than expected. a two hour bus-ride to batangas was followed by a short ferry trip to mindoro. the ferry landed on the beach at sabang, so i collected my luggage and found a good room at sonny's inn for 1300 pesos a night. it was large with a separate kitchen and a balcony with a sea-view.

sabang is a small town within a scenic bay, visited mainly by divers who go on boat-trips to the surrounding islands. there is a narrow walkway stretching along the beach from which all of the restaurants, bars, shops and hotels are accessed. surprisingly given the size and ambience of the place, there are also half a dozen gogo bars (called 'discos' here).

after a leisurely walk, i breathed in the fresh air and decided that sabang was exactly what i needed. i dropped off some laundry and then ate a spicy sea-food dish at eddie's. it was so spicy i had to hastily order a few bottles of sprite and gulp them down. once my mouth had cooled down, i went to see what sabang had to offer in the way of nightlife.

the first gogo i went to was pink panther. only two girls were dancing and before i had even taken a sip from my beer, i was joined by a girl called denise. as much as i sometimes like a bit of flesh on the bone, there's a fine line between 'curvy' and 'chubby' and this girl had crossed it. she was a nice girl though so i bought her a drink. there were 15 girls rep001tered around the bar, including a few i liked the look of. i watched a girl do a spectacular solo dance routine that included doing the splits. given my injury, just watcing made my eyes water! the bar-fine here was 1000 pesos with a further 1000 pesos going to the girl.

after a few drinks i walked the short distance to sabang disco. it was darker with stools surrounding a long stage. again only two or three were dancing but there were probably about 20 dotted around the perimeter, trying to latch on to customers. soon i was clinking bottles with a pretty girl called lin, who had dark curly hair and a nice face. she was a real sweetheart and definitely the type of girl i would consider bar-fining, if i was fit to do so. i also had fun with a group of four girls sat opposite. one of them was leaning against her hand looking bored, so i mimicked her, much to her (and her friends) amusement. there were some nice girls in here, including one babe with a killer body who compared favourably to most i had seen in angeles.

as much as i love visiting gogo bars, it just isn't the same when you subtract the thrill of wondering who you will end up fucking. it was about midnight so i decided to head back to my hotel for an early night. i felt happily buzzed from half a dozen san miguel beers as i walked along the beach back to my room.


day 8: puerto galera

switching effortlessly in to 'tourist mode', i decided to spend the day on a boat trip. i chartered a small boat but told the owner that i needed to get breakfast first so i'd be back in fifteen minutes. i went to eddies and ordered 'french toast & coffee' from the menu. the french toast arrived with honey, so i polished that off, but where was the coffee? it was taking too long so i went to pay the bill but noticed that it was for the full amount. i politely pointed out to the waitress that i didn't get any coffee but she got shirty and told me that i had to pay the full amount. ordinarily i might have argued my case, perhaps suggesting that i could get a free coffee on my next visit, but i was in a relaxed frame of mind and didn't want any negativity. i also didn't want to waste time quibbling over a few pesos when i was in a rush to go on a boat trip.

i spent the day exploring the islands, swimming in the warm water and sunbathing on a nearby beach. i could get used to being a tourist! there were also encouraging signs that my injury was getting better, as the bruising felt less sore. maybe it was the sea air or the relaxed vibes, or maybe even good karma after my good deed in manila? whatever the reason, i was excited that in a few days i would be shagging pretty filipino girls again. i found an internet cafe and booked a flight to cebu. no rest for the wicked.

that night i ate at a sea-food restaurant overlooking the bay. although sabang is a divers resort, there were two old gents, eating on their own, taking a keen interest in the passing 'traffic' on the beach. when i paid my bill, i made sure i told the manager how friendly and attentive the two young waitresses had been. as i was doing so, a cigarette promo girl walked past who was undoubtedly the prettiest girl i had seen on the trip so far (even beating 'miss perfect', which is quite a feat given her name). she was wearing a cowboy hat and see-through sari with white underwear beneath. she had a 'wow' face and a 'wow' body too - a definite 10/10 girl. i felt a stirring in my pants, which pleasingly wasn't followed by a sharp pain - my groin injury was getting better. :)

it was gogo time. i opted to visit philippine village first. there were more girls than the bars i visited the night before, with six dancing on stage and lots more on the sidelines. a pretty young girl called ella sat beside me and whispered in my ear "you are gwapo" (handsome). she had braces on her teeth, a cute appeal and large boobs hidden away beneath an unflattering dress. when it was her turn to dance, some of the other girls laughed at her attempts at dancing sexily. this told me that she was new to the bar... in other words, just my kind of girl. i considered bar-fining her, but decided against it. it was maybe a day too soon to resume my sexual escapades and i didn't want to jeopardise the cebu leg of my tour. it was a shame, ella was extremely fuckable.

all of sabang's gogos are close to each other. next i went to venus which had plenty of girls, although only three were dancing. i was joined by a dark-skinned beauty called lorraine, who minutes earlier had been doing splits on the stage. my mind raced, wondering what fun i could have back in my hotel room with someone so supple. she had a gorgeous face and what thommo might describe as 'slutty eyes'. i bought her a drink and discovered that the bar-fine here, like other places in sabang, was 1000 pesos with a further 1000 going to the girl. fair prices i think, given the talent that can be found. lorraine introduced me to her friend, who was a 6/10 but one of those girls whose boobs you just want to bury your face in to. the sexiest girl though was sat nearby, with smouldering dark eyes and a stunning face. venus definitely has some talent.

i decided that it was time to go back to my hotel to get some sleep. i had only been to two bars but i saw at least three beauties who i would bar-fine quicker than you could say "drink for the lady, sir?". the gogo scene in sabang may be much smaller than manila and angeles (maybe half a dozen bars), but there are some pretty girls to be found. in fact, if you're looking for somewhere nice to escape manila or angeles for a few days, where you can breathe fresh air and pretend to be a tourist for a while, sabang is definitely a viable option, with good looking girls to be found at cheap prices (p2000, all in).

as for freelancers, i think you can forget eddies. i walked past there probably a dozen times and only once did i see an unaccompanied filipino girl, and she was probably in her 40's. apparently the venue (above venus) is a popular disco, especially when the gogos close, but i didn't actually go inside myself. near the gogos are numerous massage places which stay open till late. there are lots of girls sat outside and given some of the cheeky comments i received, i'm sure that 'extras' could be negotiated.

all in all, puerto galera had been a nice surprise.

i have attached photos of two of the girls i mention in this diary, including stella, who i would end up meeting later in the trip (very nice girl). i will post the cebu part of this diary in the cebu section of this forum in a few days time.

[QUOTE=Mr Enternational]After breakfast today I decided to head up to Baywalk to take pictures. I damn near lost my breakfast and had to get away from that place. And I don't get queasy easily. [/QUOTE]there's a very tiny beach at the end of baywalk and this is what you see on the pic. That beach gets packed full of locals on Sunday mornings and such. I guess what you see is "the morning after" - but I do hope they clean up the beach before the following week-end. Or they may not. With Lim as Mayor everything is possible. Anyway, the water is dirty as hell as well, but they do bath in it. I guess that's all they have.

Yesterday, I had some down time between number 2 and number 3, and was being bugged in a very nice way to meet Ms G from DIA. She's only 21 and I knew had never had a bf before. Met her with her aunt but with a P100 to go buy Jollibee got rid of aunt. Ms G was young sweet smart and clearly ready to start to explore the world having been restricted by parents and aunt previously.

Met and talked for an hour, bought her load, gave them taxi fare home and figured that was that.

Today, many texts from her stating how much she likes me, how she's an innocent virgin, can I meet with her parents etc. We made the plan that I wil meet with parents for lunch (Chowking etc). And after she and I will go away with parents blessing (and maybe a cash gift too LOL). So who knows, today maybe I have a waste of time lunch or maybe I bag me a sweet untouched one. Lets C. Life is never dull here!

I am staying at the Edsa Shangri-LA at the end of the month, anyone offer advice for the girls in that area? Has anybody had luck with the hotel bar?

Thanks in advance!
