Manila

[QUOTE=Fast Buck Artist;1261118]Malate in general is the lowest quality mongering area in Manila, you'll find the ugliest and most desperate girls here, drug addicts, petty criminals, the most asshole cab drivers, and the most corrupt cops.[/QUOTE]And the best f*cklets.

[QUOTE=Fast Buck Artist;1261118]Malate in general is the lowest quality mongering area in Manila, you'll find the ugliest and most desperate girls here, drug addicts, petty criminals, the most asshole cab drivera, and the most corrupt cops. None of it should be a surprise.[/QUOTE]Agreed. The area has deteriorated markedly in recent years. I used to be a frequent visitor but the area and its scummy denizens is just too bleak, seedy and depressing for me these days.

Well, Finally, the truth is coming out, Manila Bay Cafe (la cafe) was promoted insanely in all online forums as some sort of heaven on earth. Not withstanding the crime, girls and everything in between. Malate area should be the last place a monger should visit in Manila. There was a serial propaganda of sorts to promote Manila Bay Cafe in these forums. I'm from a third world country and even I was scared visiting malate and I have seen worse areas in my life back home. I never understood why mongers from west would visit such a dangerous place.

The most corrupt taxi drivers, the most aggressive beggars, the most dangerous criminals, the most dirtiest place, the most despo girls, the most corrupt cops of all places are in the malate area. Even local Filipinos don't go there. There are far better places in manila to get laid than Malate. Its been promoted unnecessarily in forums by the owner cohorts to keep the business going.

I made my reservation right before the old MBC was closed. Its right across from that 7-11 and down the street from Robinsons mall.

Durring the week I was there I almost got hit by a jeepny, got over charged, had a fight with a taxi driver, fought off many beggars, got screwed over by a bar girl, had the best sex of my life with three different young hot filipinas, got shit faced and had the time of my life.

I don't plan to stay in that area again but I do plan on getting shit faced and having a few filipinas again.

[QUOTE=Fast Buck Artist;1261118]Malate in general is the lowest quality mongering area in Manila[/QUOTE]And the easiest one. Still good experience can be found there quite cheap.

So what is the highest quality mongering in Manila then? P Burgus with 4-5K per pop? I can pay less in my home country

Never been a victim of crime. There are many bars, restaurents and Robinson mall nearby. There is nothing to be scared of staying in the area or walking around at night. Yes, there are street urchins and beggars but they are just looking for handouts. Few pesos if you care to give will satisfy them. In many major cities even in USA there are panhandlers.

Most often I give left over food from the restaurent to them.

Any major city is dirty in the strict sense. Manila is no different. If you go to Hong Kong also they have real dirty streets.

We are there for mongering purposes. So MBC fits the bill where you can relax, have drink, chat with one or many, take a girl you like without breaking the bank. Even if you do not take a girl I find it is a nice relaxing place.

Yes, there are other places as well but no way any of them are guaranteed with respect to scams, extortion etc.

In any inner city reasonable care needs to be taken. Ermita area is 100% times better than rough neighbourhoods in Bronx and Brooklyn.

It doesn't seem like such a dangerous place to me. But then again I'm a black guy and we don't usually get bothered much by the poor, downtrodden, and the robbers when overseas. Don't expect this guy to pay insane EDSA prices when I can get a FL from MBC all night for 1000 to 1500.

It was my first visit to Malate. The time before I stayed in Makati. I felt comfortable and safe at all times, although I admit I placed myself more on alert than I would if I were cruising around Sukhumvit. The place reminded me of some third world Rush Street, Chicago scene in an alternative universe. The area is funky for sure, but far from the dangerous jungle Starchild describes. I am scheduled to return to Manila in October. I haven't decided yet whether to stay in Malate or Makati which clearly indicates I am torn and like both locations.

MBC is a roadhouse bar packed with friendly / eager FL's. I was surprised how small it is, yet it is a very lively bar and a good place to hang out and have a cold one. There were a couple of lookers when I was there, but most girls did not interest me. I let one of the prettier girls pick me up. The thing is, MBC is one block from the Hyatt. So unless you out alone at 2 or 3 in the morning and drunk, I just don't see the problem. Take care, that's all and don't get stupid.

One night I also checked out F1 KTV. I found a better class of girls there than at MBC. I paid the sitting fee to meet and socialize with a very pretty and young girl. We got along great (no hanky panky and no bar fines allowed) , but she gave me her phone number and we got together for a little L&L (lunch and love) the next day. I would definitely go back and I am in correspondence with her, so I plan to see her again.

My last night in Malate, I went down to the EDSA Entertainment Complex. It was a short taxi ride from my hotel, the Pan Pacific. I planned to check out 2 or 3 bars, but the lineup at the Fire Station was very good and I ended up bar fining a real cute girl from there. I recommend Fire Station and next time plan to check out a couple more bars there. The quality of girls was superior to MBC, roughly on par with Burgos, and above the average Fields Bar girls in AC.

So in conclusion I kind of dug Malate / Ermita, although I wouldn't want to stay there longer than a week. I did very well at F1 KTV and at Edsa and not bad at MBC. I also cruised Robinson a little but did not pick up any of the FL's I saw there although a few tried to pick me up. Maybe another time, who knows. IMO Pan Pacific is the upscale hotel to stay. I paid $103 for an upgraded room on a high floor. The room was modern, spacious, and clean. The pool was good and the food was pretty good too. Maybe for newbie's Makati is better, but for me, I like both Makati and Malate. They both have their pluses and minuses.

MBC is a great place and if you know how to work it you will find a descent girl for a good price. Please let us know if you know of a better / cheaper place in Manila LOL.

As for scary what can I say some people are just born scared. I have walked 100's of times there at night by myself and I still alive and fine. Walk quick, don't pay attenttion to anyone or even better take a cab.

The most dangerous criminals LOL, have you heard of Tondo, Cavite, Caloocan. Try some of those places at night. The only thing you got right is the cab drivers but if you stay close what can he take from you? Extra 10-20 peso? U can always catch a cab on roxas bul where you will run into a good cab driver within few minutes anyway

Smaller, less drama than MBC.

Its safer at 1am than 10pm (fewer people on the streets) , and worse even at 3pm with all the auto traffic.

WC, G Point is so highly above the scum that sets foot in MBC (including myself once in awhile) that its refreshing. Just give the fuck wits wrong directions please.
