Philippines Diary, day 4, Cebu
Day 4, Tuesday: Cebu.
I didn't sleep well as my meeting with Lina in Manila Bay Café was playing on my mind. The walls are thin in Amazonia so I lay awake listening to the groans coming from the room next door. The man definitely wanted value for money. After they'the fucked for the second time the girl wanted to sleep and an argument ensued. Minutes later the headboard was banging against my wall again.
In the morning I took a metered taxi from Ermita to Terminal 3 of Nino Aquino airport. The driver was a character. We talked the whole journey and he told me about his 19 year old niece who is a nurse."She is very beautiful" he told me,"would you like her mobile number?". The flight took an hour and as ever I was impressed by the quality of stewardesses that Cebu Pacific employ. I got a taxi from the front of Mactan Airport and felt excited to be back in Cebu. I'd enjoyed my visit two years ago and wondered whether I would meet any girls of the same quality.
Once again I stayed at BEVERLEY BOUTIQUE HOTEL. It was formerly known as Eddies but has rebranded itself as a business / boutique hotel to attract higher paying customers. When I told the taxi-driver 'Beverley Boutique' I was greeted with a blank stare. I explained where it was (on F. Manalo, next to Iglesia Ni Cristo church) and he said "Ah, you mean Eddies"! It's the perfect location for the Mango gogo bars and is girl-friendly. My standard room cost 1480 pesos per night. It had air-con, its own bathroom and a TV but it didn't have a safe or fridge.
It was early evening so after a shower and a meal in the excellent restaurant downstairs, it was time for me to hit the gogo bars. The main gogo area in Cebu is located on General Maxilom Avenue, next to the huge Iglesia Ni Cristo church. On one side of the road is Viking, BG's Bar and Erik The Red, all of which look deceptively small from the outside but are large inside. The next block contains Planet X (formerly Hot Rod) and Sisters. On the opposite side of the street are Pussycats, Dimples, Love City and Papillon. They look more impressive with bright neon signs but two years ago only Pussycats impressed me. The others were over-priced and despite being aimed at big-spending Koreans, they had the same quality of girls as the cheaper bars over the road. This is the main concentration of gogo bars in Cebu although a short walk away are Lone Star and Red Lips, both of which I planned to visit.
The time was 8. 30pm when I walked down the stairs and entered VIKING. It's a large basement filled with red sofas facing a stage. Only one girl was dancing with half a dozen sat on couches at the side. I sat on a stool at the bar and bought myself a San Miguel light for 50 pesos. It's not the easiest bar to survey the talent as the girls sit in a dark corner but I was soon joined by a pretty girl called Nerce (an 8/10 on my scale). She was 22 and as well as long curly hair and a sexy figure, she had a bubbly personality. I bought her a lady-drink for 150 pesos and we played pool. She beat me in one frame by wiggling her bum in my line of vision as I tried to pot the black. It worked, she had a nice bum. I decided that she'd be a good option for later. By the time I left at 9. 30pm the place was busy with customers. There were probably 20 girls in total, including a few very pretty ones.
Next door is BG'S BIKINI BAR. It's a more intimate venue that gives you a better view of the girls. Only one was dancing, a fair-haired girl with large, firm (but almost certainly fake) tits. 20 girls were crowded on to the couches in front of the stage, some of whom were very attractive. I bought a San Miguel for 60 pesos and waited for the big-boobed blond to finish dancing. Disappointingly, she went to sit with a customer at the back of the room. Two Korean men walked in and had the mamasan line all of the girls up in front of them so they could choose their companion. The girl next to me said "Koreans rude, no respect" which sums up my opinion of them.
It gave me chance to survey the talent and I was impressed. My favourite was a cute girl who looked fresh to the business. The bar-fine in BG's is 1700 pesos, great value considering the quality of girls.
Two years ago I fucked a girl from Hot Rod, who memorably turned out to be a virgin. Hot Rod is now PLANET X. There is a square stage in the centre, surrounded by comfy seating. Three girls were dancing on the stage when I walked in and about 30 were dotted around the bar. All were young. I ordered a beer (65 pesos) and immediately a girl with a 7/10 face and a 9/10 body sat next to me. Her name was Gemma and she was very flirty, rubbing her hand up and down my leg. A waitress asked whether I'd like to buy her a lady-drink. When I agreed the waitress said "Baileys. 300 pesos, is that okay sir?". I know I could have insisted on a 'single' for 150 pesos but I don't like looking a cheapskate in front of a girl I might want to fuck later. Gemma gave lots of sexy vibes so I asked about her bar-fine. It was 2000 pesos but she suggested that we could meet at my hotel when she finished work at 3. 30am. It would save me paying the bar-fine and she'd get more too, without the bar taking their cut. (please note, for the sake of this diary, I've changed her name to Gemma to protect her in case the management at Planet X ever read this). I knew I'd be asleep by then so suggested we could meet next afternoon and I'd pay her 1500 for 2 hours. We agreed to meet at 1. 30pm at Bo's Coffee Shop.
Planet X is a mixed bag. It has a great layout with more girls than other Mango gogo bars and some pretty ones too. But it's more expensive and there is too much pressure to buy lady-drinks.
It was 10. 30pm and time to pick a girl. There were a few candidates but my favourite was Nerce as she seemed likely to provide the 'girlfriend sex' I was after. I entered Viking but couldn't see her. I asked a waitress but was told that Nerce was 'absent' which I interpreted to mean that she'd been bar-fined. That's the danger when you like to bar-hop like me.
I returned to BG's and watched a sleazy girl with tattoos gyrate sexily on stage. She had big tits and a slutty appeal with far too much make-up, but when she finished she walked to another customer. It was a shame, she'd be an interesting fuck. Standing nearby at the bar was a tall girl with pale skin who looked Japanese. I bought her a lady-drink (150 pesos) and we chatted. Her name was Angel and she was good fun, the type who'd probably provide a good service. I decided that she'd be a good choice so paid her 1700 peso bar-fine. I hoped Angel might be a devil in the bedroom as we left hand-in-hand.
It took two minutes for us to walk back to my hotel. As soon as she entered my room her personality changed. I switched the TV on so that we could find a movie on 'Star Movies' (she told me that she loves movies in the bar) but she acted surprised."You want to watch a movie?" she said,"I'm here for short-time, you need to ask in bar if you want longer". Her cold business-like attitude was a turn-off. You expect it in Amsterdam ("50 Euros, suck and fuck, two positions") but not in Asia. Last time I was in Cebu all three girls I bar-fined stayed all night without question.
It went down-hill from there. She told me that she hated her job and that she cried the first time she had a customer, an old Japanese man. One of my rules of sex tours is that I will never fuck a girl who doesn't want to be in the industry but on the other hand, I'd paid her bar-fine and if she doesn't want to fuck customers, she's in the wrong job. When I pointed this out to her she told me that she had a kid and was doing it for him.
I weighed up the situation and told her that my only option was to take her back to the bar and get a refund on the bar-fine."But I'll get in to trouble" she said sadly. She was expecting me to pay her bar-fine and get nothing in return! I stood up and told her to put her clothes back on.
She quickly changed her tune. She pulled me towards her and a few minutes later I was fucking her. She groaned loudly, a loud, fake groan, like she was trying to make me finish sooner. We did a few positionss and as I was fucking her doggy-style, she looked over her shoulder and said "finish, okay?". Again it reminded me of fucking a prostitute in Amsterdam's red light district. I told her 'you on top' and she rode me to a climax. As we were getting changed afterwards she told me that in three months she'd only slept with six customers.
What a strange experience. I'd wanted 'girlfriend sex' but I'd got a girl with attitude who hated her job (in stark contrast to how fun and flirty she had been in the bar!). On the plus side, it was my fourth fuck of the trip and I had seen some pretty girls on my bar-crawl, some of whom would be good options for another night. I'd also arranged a daytime meet with Gemma from Planet X for the next day. Things were happening.
(The previous three days appeared on the Manila thread. Please note that my visit was in March this year but I haven't had chance to post it before now).
