General Information

Staying in Cebu City:

I think the best location would be one of the three Hotels at Fuente Osmena: Cebu Midtown, Gorordo (Formerly Park Place) or the Elegant Inn. Shakey's Pizza there is open until 03:30AM and you can walk to Silver Dollar or the Firehouse (1 km) down Osmena Blvd. It is only 1 km to Exotica, Dimples, Papillon's, Viking, Black Hole, Lone Star Go-Gos up General Maxilom.

You are a 15 minute, P 45 taxi ride to Ayala Mall. I head that way to Mikado Japanese Restaurant, Tinder box (fine wines, cognac, champagnes), and Cafe Adriatico. I like Metropolis Court Hotel which IS NOT centrally locatd but has all a monger needs (pussy, pussy & more pussy. Oh and yes, pussy). One of our Guys did not like it but gave no reason. This Place has high staff turnover and some can barely speak english. Need to see Lawrence, Bar Mgr. He has been there since Day 1, is single and speaks fluent english. If he is off, ask for Roland, there 6= years and also fluent in english.

DO go upstairs to Wild Orchid Spa. Ask Lawrence to make recommendations on the 28+ ladies there. I have had my best experiences when the Hotel Mgr called up there for me or when I awoke at 6:00AM one morning, dick pointing at the ceiling and just called upstairs. The woman who answered was half asleep. I barely got out, "I am DS in room 136" when she interrupted me to say, "Sir a lady will be sent down immediately". Five minutes later a lovely 23 y/o walked in and introduced herself. Asked me name and said "massage first".

Thirty minutes later it was "now what"? We arrived at a price and in one motion she was NUDE. Fucked and sucked my dick until I came.

The Sari Sari store in front of Metropolis Court Hotel has some nice ladies. Plenty of ladies in the area and I once had one hit on me walking back from evening Mass at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church.

Thanks for the info, I forgot to PM you too thanking you for your informative answers to my PM to you. I think I will just stay at Midtown then. What is the cost at Wild Orchid Spa anyway? We should really get you updated to Senior status here so that your posts aren't delayed anymore, you can count me in as a sponsor for your upgrade.

Once I get back after July, I'll post a long trip report for you guys with video if possible. Last time in cebu I really didn't have much fun because I didn't know all the spots to go.

Hi Mook,

Thanks Pal. If you stay at Metropolis Court Hotel a1 hr massage is P 400. Yes, you can touch and feel during the massage. I pay from P 1000 - P1500 for extra service depending on the lady. She should stay until you are done, not when she wants to leave. I had two different ladies stay a total of 2 1/2 hours incluidng massage, fuck, jacuzzi together, fuck again and then a blowjob/fuck. I paid these ladies P1500.

If you do not stay at the Hotel they have a morning/early afternoon deal of P350 for a massage. See Lawrence at the Bar. Mention me to insure personal attention. The Staff at Cebu Midtown will arrange women for you but they will be "hard core" pros. Need to be careful. Pal of mine in So Cal got VD from one of these referrals. Another was doing crack cocaine in his Hotel Room until he threw her out.

With the Pros I always go to Exotica and do them in VIP. Cost is P1500 including drinks, pussy and "after fuck drink". There is no time limit. Rhea fucked me, blew me and then fucked me again. I paid her a P500 tip and Bill said it was too much.

here is my first post at the cebu area. first a little story -- sorry no sex in this one. not yet.

about 15 years ago i was in cebu. i took a regular jeepney as far as i could to the chinese temple. after the jeepney dropped me off i walked up the hill. the temple was closed and there wasn't much to see.

i set off back down the hill. i was hot and sweating like a pig. suddenly a car pulls up, the driver rolls down the passenger side window and asks me if i need a ride. this guy was obviously a westerner, probably in his seventies.

i get in, appreciating the air con, and tell him i'd like to be dropped off at the jeepney stop at the bottom of the hill. he starts to yakking, something he's rather good at. he tells me he (or his firm) built the surrounding area. at one point he slows down, points out a street sign, and tells me that the name on the sign is his. hmmm. to this day i don't know if he was telling the truth, but if he was, then some of you old hands may already know who this character is.

we get to the bottom of the hill and he ignores my objections and keeps speeding along. did i say "speeding"? this guy drove just like a filipino. in other words, no turn signals, frequent use of the horn, ignoring stop signs, etc. in addition to that, he's cursing like a sailor. fortunately, the windows were rolled up.

now, i have no idea where we're going and i'm getting a bit worried. the conversation turns to his construction company in manila and how he left there because of death threats from the rebels. "that's why i have this." he reaches under his front seat and pulls out a .357. now i'm really worried. he put his gun away and continues the conversation, that is when he isn't screaming at the other drivers.

the drive ends up at an interesting little bar / restaurant in downtown cebu. the character i met has his name on the bar.

those of you familiar with cebu city probably know the name and maybe the person (may he rest in peace). right?

I'll be in Cebu City for a week from July 11. One thing I'd like to do is to travel about Cebu island. Maybe Moalboal or some other beach area.

What are my transportation options? What would you do?

How much would it cost to hire a driver for the day?

X Man,

Again Rookie. He was Eddie, and he DID build Beverly Hills. He lived at the peak for years but ran into financial difficulty and had to sell and move down a bit to a mansion not quite as big and cheaper as it was not at the "summit" of Beverly Hills. He owned and operated "Eddie's Log Cabin" restaurant in Cebu City for years. He used to go into Our Place, an ex-pat dive bar hangout I frequented years ago until I got sick of the drunks and losers in there (got tired of the assholes picking fights with me and having to kick their ass).

Eddie's son now owns a Hotel by Fuente Osmena. I believe one of our guys stayed there in April and posted about it. I am not sure if it is The Elegant Inn or the Hotel just behind Fuente Osmena.

Carrying a gun is commonplace in the Philippines even with the "gun ban" Laws. You apply for a special permit. You have not been back for 13 years? I was here back then and make trips here 4-6 times a year. You have NO stroies about pussy???? What did you do in the Philippines besides hang with Eddie,scared shitless, rather than asking him to set you up with some lovely 18 y/o's?

There is not much to see outside Cebu City metro area. But somehow I don't think that will matter much to you. A car and driver for a day will run aroud P 1000 up. I have not done this for a few years now so it might be more. Some guys liked Maolbaol Beach Resort but this being rainy season with typhoons all the time, you will need to check the weather report before going. Mosquitoes bigger than bald eagles (hungrier too) will be out in full force. This ruined a night at a beachside place for me back in 1995. There is some new product loaded with deet that is supposedly "mosquito proof". Check with Mercury Drug at Fuente Osmena for this.

Dragon Slayer

Dragon S is right. The late Eddie took me to Eddie's Log Cabin (ELC). What a night that was!

DS hasn't provided Eddie's last name, so I still don't know if that street sign was really his name...nor do I know if DS actually met the man. Kind of presumptious to call me a "rookie"...although I am new here at WSG. I first visited the Philippines when Marcos martial law was in effect... who's the rookie here? (I guess now everyone can call me an old git).

Eddie told me his age, and later in the back of ELC "my office" he was telling WWII stories. The age and the stories didn't work out and I caught the man in a white lie. He told me a lot of stories, but I'm not sure which ones were true and which were fiction.

****
He was in a bank when it was held up. He quickly took off his "Rolex" and slipped it down under the seat cusion of the chair he was sitting in. He had assumed the robbers would lift from the bank customers, but apparently that wasn't the case. Eddie was pretty happy about that, as you might imagine. Well, Eddie walked out of the place and was halfway to his car when he realized his Rolex was still down the back of that chair.

DS asks me, why didn't you get Eddie "to set you up with some lovely 18 y/o's?"

That is a very, very good question. My first evening in "Eddie's office" there were many people at the table, mostly Filipino businessmen. There was also an American guy who came in late. He was 30ish, small business owner, just divorced from a Filipina. He knew Eddie from a previous trip. We talked a bit.

The next night, I went back to ELC with my date (see below) and there's this same guy with an absolutely gorgeous woman. I thought my date was hot, but I just about fell out of my chair when I looked at this girl. I assume Eddie had something to do with this, as DS apparently knows.

My date: She was a college girl that I met as a penpal. She agreed to meet me at my hotel in the afternoon. I left my room unlocked in anticipation, but with the jet lag and drinking / whoring the night before I was a bit tired. I fell asleep just before the appointed time.

I guess I woke after a few hours and there she was sitting at the table doing her homework! I apologized, and, and, and ...I took her clothes off and gave her a good fucking. (Details: skin like chocolate, very slender, but breasts were a nice firm handfuls, inexperienced about sex, but let me do as I pleased). I thought I was in paradise. After our tryst, we went to Eddies log cabin, and only then did I realize someone else was doing even better than I was.

Ah, memories.

It's been a long time coming, but relatively soon my job will mean I'm in Cebu for months at a time over the next year or two. I have to be VERY discreet about my goings on. For those of you that have had your own driver for more than a week, would you actually trust him to take you (and maybe a secret other) anywhere you wouldn't want others to find out you've visited? Seems like the only way to keep a low profile is taxis, but I also know that Cebuanos see sexual matters as something to hush up about. It might be fair to say they wouldn't be keen to tell someone your secrets if they know you would be very pissed off if you find out.

Anyone know if "Cebu Local" has vanished without a trace? There are many wise elders on this board who I hope to meet some day ("elder" not by age but by time spent in the Visayas), but when I come to town I'd love to buy him a drink. He seems to know a lot of people in Cebu who I'd like to get to know to help me widen my circle of bed-able chicas.

A comment: [blue][Deleted by Admin][/blue] When I was in Cebu, it certainly did seem that there were VERY few westerners that were under 60 and looked like they were there for anything other than vacation time. I'm surprised Cebu doesn't draw more Westerners looking to do business there, although I know this is all changing quickly.

Hey everyone, I came across this board a few months ago and its been a pleasure being introduced to your world. After doing lots of reading, I have decided to pop my cherry in the Philippines :=)

It seems Cebu has a lot to offer and is not too expensive, so that will be the first stop. After reading many posts here in the Cebu section, 90% of my questions have been answered, and I sincerely thank you guys for your contributions (especially Dragon Slayer and Good Enough). My trip will be from September 7-19. If any experienced mongers are in town during that time, I would be happy to meet up and have some drinks. I'll be with a college buddy who loves to party.

I know its still a few months away, but since I'm making the arrangements now, I figured I would get my newbie questions out of the way all at once. I apologize if these are repetitive in any way. Thanks in advance for your help, and happy July 4 to all you American expats!

1. Flying from LAX to Cebu (with a connect in Manila), the cheapest flight I could find was Philippine Airlines, USD $1,014 (internet booking on expedia). Is this price in the ballpark for those traveling from the West Coast of the U.S.? Could a travel agency get me a better rate? Anyone fly this airline before?

2. My buddy is very cool, and a riot to hang with. He's also built like a tank, 6'1" and about 290lbs. He's wondering if he'll have any problems with the ladies being hesitant/intimidated by his size, being that many Filipinas are fairly petite.

3. I'd love to take tons of pics and post them here ASAP, instead of waiting till I get back to LA, but I don't want to take my laptop. If I take digital pics, what would be the best way to get them on WSG? I'm assuming you can't just walk into an internet café and upload a bunch of cumshots without getting a major reaction.

4. After reading that some guys hooked up with ladies before their trip, I decided to do the same. I met several cuties on Cherry Blossoms website and will eventually choose one to stay with me in Cebu for a few days. I have chosen Cebu Midtown as my mongering base camp. Should I switch hotels when my chick arrives? I don't know how a nonpro would react if she found out I was mongering. Would she find out from anyone in the staff? I'm not paranoid or anything, but my lady may be a local, and I would like to avoid any unpleasant scenes.

5. With regard to the above mentioned cumshots. Do I have to pay extra for pics? How do you guys handle that?

Well, thanks again everyone, and thank you Jackson for maintaining this site! You kick ass bro.

Hi guys,

Can anyone confirm if the massage place (Mars) has shifted from the Hotel Victoria de Cebu, and is now found somewhere else in Osmena Blvd?

Also, am about to make first visit to Cebu and am interested in any updated reports on massage places (where I can get bbbjcim) that offers good value (that is, around the 500p mark). I've heard Mars, Finland and the massage place in the Fuente Pension House building are possibilities.

Am also interested in knowing if there will be many freelancers operarting in Moalboal beaches during low season of August.

Cheers

WARNING: There is no sex in this post, just boring airfare stuff.

Panther,

No, it is not in the ballpark; no, a "travel agent" will not do better for you; and yes, a few people have actually flown PAL, and some of them have even survived the adventure.

For less than the price you were quoted you could get an "All-Asia Pass" on Cathay Pacific and fly everywhere they go for thirty days. On a standard APEX fare (advanced purchase excursion) flying coach from the west coast of the USA to the PI should cost around six to seven hundred dollars. These fares generally require thirty to ninety days advance purchase, only apply to midweek travel, and are only available from a particular form of discount international airfare agency known as a "consolidator."

Without going into too long of a primer on the arcane workings of international airfare, which works in a completely different manner than domestic travel, what you want to know is that airlines, full service travel agents, and some of the best known internet travel sites will not quote you these fares, because they can't. They are prohibited from directly quoting the current real market price by contractual agreement with an international cartel that sets artificially high minimum prices far above the price that would clear the market of the available inventory of seats. After setting aside as many tickets as they figure they can sell at prices similar to what you found, the international air carriers then wholesale the rest out through third party brokers and pretend not to know at what price the bulk of their seats are really going for. If they did not do this most of their planes would be empty. There is much else that could be beneficial to learn if you do much trans-pacific travel, but just know for sure that you can do much better on price for the very same seat with minimal effort and a bit more knowledge of the market.

Here are some current examples of consolidator fares which should brighten your day:

$685.00 SFO direct to Cebu on China Air from
Farmtours: http://www.psnw.com/~farmtours/airfares.htm

$746.50 LAX to MNL on Eva Air from
1888DrCheap: http://www.drcheaps.com/

$676.20 LAX to MNL on Asiana from
Fly to Manila: http://flytomanila.com/

$674.00 LAX to MNL on Eva Air from
http://www.airlineconsolidator.com/

There are many, many others. I suggest you get a copy of the SUNDAY LA Times (only the Sunday edition) immediately burn the "news" pages of this otherwise loathsome publication, and peruse the small print display ads in the last several pages of the travel section. You will find that dozens of the major consolidators use this venue to post their international fares, and you will get a good feel for the market so you don't get badly hosed when you lay your money down. You don't want to deal directly with the airlines or "full service" travel agents (the kind with glossy brochures to sell you stuff) for anything but domestic connecting flights if you need that.

Opinions on this will vary, but Philippine Airlines is a crappy dirty dangerous carrier that only exists due to massive bribes paid to Philippine government officials to restrict competition to keep it limping along barely in operation. This effort to prop up PAL is the reason you can get a ticket to Bangkok cheaper than Manila, even though the trip to Thailand is longer, and if you fly any other carrier to the RP you will be forced to arrive and depart at inconvenient times even though there is a surplus of available landing slots at the airport all day long. Having said all that, I would not necessarily refuse to fly PAL if I happened to get a fare that was substantially better, but I have never seen this happen except for occasional deals restricted to "Balikbayan" (Philippinos returning from overseas). I believe they do still have the only nonstop direct flight to MNL, and I have developed a high tolerance for third world discomforts, but if this is your first foray into the third world and you are using up your precious annual vacation to do it you may not want to be that flexible, and might prefer any other airline over the vagaries of PAL.

I'm sure others will do a better job of answering your other questions, but you should assume that everything you do will be known by the entire extended family of every Filipina in the province before you are finished doing it. They like to talk, and they are not above having their "cousins" watch you.

Bon voyage,

Wastrel

Wastrel,


"loathsome publication" ? :)
Not entirely fair. I think the sports section is OK. The bulk makes for good bird cage lining. I used to subscribe to Sunday only just for the travel section as well. I got tired of throwing away so much paper.


Panther,

Beyond the above, I agree with everything Wastrel has adivsed. I've never paid over $700 for RT LAX MNL coach.

Do not underestimate the power of gossip. There are no secrets in the RP. My friends in Angeles usually know that I'm "in country" within 3 to 4 hours of landing in Manila.

FD

hi guys
i decided to drop by for a visit,anyway i did not vanish without a trace,i just got involved with a local philippine website in which i am an active sponsor. speaking and writing tagalog and cebuano helps.well marconista dropped me a line inviting me back to i decided to go back,but i will lurk around first until i get up to speed,to update fd.i got involved in a hotel project in subic in which i am now part owner and i still have the travel agency in cebu and manila.wastrel is correct about the"evil cartel". etc
the air passes are the only way to go,for example seaair has an unlimited domestic travel airpass around the philippines for 300$,there is also an asean airpass.well regards for now and i will try to drop by more often.by the way the philippine department of tourism is moving its head office to cebu as part of a decentralization program.hopefully this will result on better services in cebu

First off, I just wanted to ask what the exchange rate is? One person told me it's 50P/USD, another says its 25P/USD. I'm confused.

Next, are there QUALITY girls? The kind you look at and go WOW? I'm talking 9/10 and up. Real stunners. Because I looked through the picture gallery, and the girls looked 6/10 tops! Are the stunners non-existant? Too expensive? There are plenty of average-looking girls here at home, no point going across the world for them :)
