General Information

[QUOTE=WickedRoger;1657952]Unless you really have to I would avoid the place. I know some like the added edge but I ant see why IMHO as why expose yourself to thieves. As a westerner you would stand out and is like having a lashing neon sign on your head LOL.[/QUOTE]Myself I like the throng of both places and the eye candy that is about, I have walked about both places I am not sure if it is fear itself, that keeps me scared, but I have never felt odd person out, (probably am) I carry little money to both places and never walk about of a night in these areas, as for riding on the jeepneys I enjoy it during the day and try to sit further forward as I can to make it difficult the grab and run robbers.

Have Fun Col.

Hi there,

I will be first time in Cebu until 27th. I'm 34. If someone is out there just shout / PM!

[QUOTE=StrokerAce88;1622706]Dirk,

You are very welcome. Always willing to help out mate.

Student dorms around Colon. First don't get the wrong impression, most students are not there to service foreign mongers. In fact if any student is seen in the company of a non-relative foreigner by a University official (while dressed in school colors) they can be expelled on suspicion of breaking the University morality code. Best to save the Uni colors for the room.

Having said that there are always some students who are willing and available to go with a foreigner for some ST action. Honestly the scene is not as good as it once was but some students can still be found with the help of a local pimp. Just be careful when someone approaches you and offers Filipinas. You have to spend some time to figure out if the pimp is real. There are / were some scams going around where the pimp comes up and asks you if you want someone. If you agree he then asks you to go with him to view the Filipinas. Once at the place you pick a Filipina and agree on the price the pimp has his friends come in with fake NBI or PNP shirts and tells you that you are in trouble. Blah blah blah and after scaring you for awhile they tell you that the problem can go away for a price. Total scam but when you're new in town or not sure the imported sausage pays up to walk away.

While around Colon you will be approached by all kinds of locals. I know a few of the Colon pimps that are legit and I only deal with those guys. If I don't see them around I refuse all other offers and walk away after sitting for some time and finishing my SML. Granted it's been awhile since I felt an urge to troll around Colon looking for company, just too many great non-pros online offering it up for me to go looking for possible trouble..[/QUOTE]Your information is very helpful. I'm planning to go to Cebu next month or February and I would like to contact some of the pimps you know on Colon Rd. Can I PM you to get their contact numbers? I really don't like going to clubs & bars. So, I think this might be my best bet to contact a pimp. Also, do you have a hotel near Colon you recommend? Please let me know.

Thank you in advance.

Regular traffic to Moalboal is now okay. It was not a Happy New year for a lot of people.

I've never written a post like this. Most of my posts are from the UAE but I've also visited the Philippines and posted in the Makati forum. I have a dear friend who I had great sex with while she was working on a contract in the UAE who is between employment in Cebu City and is willing to take on some FL assignments with expats. She is far far from a hard core WG. If you are an expat and want contact PM me. Here is a glimpse of her.

I have a young pinay who needs to get a passport.

She is not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Does anyone know of a travel agency in Cebu which will get her passport for her?

For a fee of course.

Thanks in anticipation.

[QUOTE=Uzinuzin;1673090]Best is to buy a USB 3 G dongle with quad-band frequency, this works in almost any country and with any company. I bought one years ago in Bangkok and it has served me very well.

But a word of warning, internet here in Cebu (and I found the same or worse in Dumaguete and Tagbilaran) is very unpredictable.[/QUOTE]Actually the best way to go would be with a universal, use it anywhere, 4 G / LTE pocket WiFi device. For reasons that are not relevant here, I can not get cable broadband in the condo I'm renting. The first month I was here I picked up a Globe Tattoo 3 G unit. I would have gotten more satisfaction throwing p2,400 out of my window (p1,400 for the device and p1 K for the 30 days of unli load). For the most part the service was worse then the old dial up net connections and often during peak hours I couldn't even connect to the net at all. In all fairness to Globe, a friend who lives close to IT park uses the same device and has better service there; still not great, but better then what I was getting in the Capital / Banawa area.

After checking the reception / signal strength at my condo via a friend's cell phone that has LTE capacity, I then bought a Huawei 4 G pocket WiFi device (model E5375) and paired it with a Smart Bro LTE SIM card (p1 K load for 30 days unli net service). The device can be used just about anywhere in the world, naturally paired with a local SIM card, but at p5,200 it is a bit more pricey compared to the Tattoo or Bro Stick. However, IMHO it was money well spent and I honestly think it's faster sometimes then the PLDT or Globe broadband connection that some friends here have. I've tested it in various parts of the city and the 4 G service has been quite impressive, even during peak hours and on holidays. I was rather surprised to see that there was even 4 G service down in Alcoy at the resort I stayed, when oddly the regular Smart cell phone service was patchy and sporadic at best.

And quite true about the net service here being very unpredictable. Occasionally, and for no apparent reason, I've noticed a significant slow down of the service, even sometimes during off peak hours. I've been able to get around that by switching bands / channels on my device or by rebooting it which also clears out its internal cache; so far that seems to work. The conspiracy theorist in me comes out and I begin to wonder if Globe & Smart / Sun throttle back their respective services as a means of increasing revenue. Most people here use prepaid loads for both cell and net. The longer it takes to download a page the more they take. Even people with daily unli plans get frustrated, go do something else, forget to turn off their cell data connection and their loads expire.

To a lessor extent the same applies to regular cell phone service too. Just yesterday in Ayala mall I was having coffee with WR along with one of his "trainees", he sent me a text message about something he did not wish to say out loud (I know, unusual for him, but it was about the girl we were with). An hour later that message showed up along several other messages from him I had already received. Recently I've also experienced service interruptions with Smart in areas which have always had a very good signal (chiefly in and around Ayala, SM Cebu & IT Park). Who knows what games the telco companies are playing or, for that fact, the malls (Ayala is affiliated with Globe & SM with Smart).

[QUOTE=LevDog;1622269]Hi X-man,

Colon is a great place to live for many reasons. Again it is not dangerous. I have never had a problem, and I walk the area all hours, including late at night. The way to stay safe is don't get falling-down drunk. I love to walk and you have E-Mall, department stores, Gaisano Metro, Main etc. And there is a brand new gym 1 block from where I live which costs 500 P / month. Fuente is an easy 20 minute walk. I have explained in the past how I get my girls. They come from all over the city, generally I stay away from the Colon girls who are not highly desirable. However there are 6 major Colleges in the area so there are tons of "good girls" in the area. I travel by taxi, and 99% of the time I am able to get a taxi in under 1 minute. It usually takes a taxi about 20 minutes for my twice daily trip to the Waterfront Casino{Lahug}, a place I spend many hours. Love your picture technique, sounds like a sure fire winner, never met a Cebu girl who did not love have their picture taken.[/QUOTE]Whats the name and location of this brand new gym?

If you want to get good information shared with you you need to pay up and become a member to receive Personal Messages (aka PMs).

She's a sweet kid just starting and I would not refer her to an expat contact who didn't have a well established record of treating the ladies fairly and with respect. Hope you understand.
