Sure will be nice to go back to RP. I should be there in one month. Now, I'll get the opportunity to check out more of Manila, EDSA and Makati. If time permits, I'll have to get over to Angeles for a few days.
Though the bars in Manila are more expensive, I had a pretty good time last trip out. Angeles prices look similar to those of Cebu but it just seems to be a bit on the wild side in comparison. Anybody thats been to Angeles and Cebu have any comments on this?
Just based on what I have read and seen on the websites, Angeles looks like it's more fun that Cebu. Can't wait to check it out personally.

actually as a cebu resident who visits angeles they are both fun,actually angeles has a better sex industry then cebu,but that is basically all that you get in AC,Cebu is the no 1 tourist destination in the philippines,it even gets more visitors then manila,so you can hit the beaches,dive,shop,get world class dining .Remember AC is a small 120,000 person city while cebu is a 1.5 million international city.Cebu has nothing close to the concentration you get in fields,but again AC does not have the attractions of cebu,sort of trying to compare patpong to phuket.about the exact no of u.s forces,here goes about 140 total checked into waterfront mactan and days hotel,their two official hotels,called my contacts in both hotels and that is official.regards

cebu,
you mentioned a airline that could fly from angels to cebu. do i have to go to the airport to buy the tickets or will local travel agents be able to get them for me. i would rather take off from angels then drive to manila to catch a flight. i'm even thinking of flying to angels from manila. do they have flights from manila to angels? the traffic here pisses me off and there it's even worse. thanks for your time.

Cebu Local:
Just a few questions if I may.
You said below that rooms are available at Waterfront Lahug for around $30 per night. How can I get that rate (for two persons)? The rates I have been seeing have been around double that and more. Do they have a pool? I will be bringing a girl from AC--will this be a problem with hotel management?
I am thinking about staying two nights at one of the beach resorts on Mactan. I don't want to break the bank here but I do want a decent place to stay. How well can you do for $40-$50 or so a night over there? Hoped-for amenitities for the place: quiet, friendly to my guest, pool, decent beach, decent restaurant, aircon, clean, English TV if possible. What do you suggest and whom should I book through?
TIA,
MineShaft

the airline that flies daily between cebu and angeles is cebu pacific,the flight is daily,you can book it through any of the local travel agents,the airline that flies manila and clark is seaair,they also have an angeles city office,costs are about 1,200 pesos one way for manila clark and about 4,500 pesos round trip clark cebu

To get the 30$ rate you can ask for the local resident rate by claiming to be an expat or better yet,register it under the AC girls name.for your budget i suggest Tambuli beach resorts on Mactan island,two private beaches,two swimming pools,all beachfront cottages and it is about 50$ a night.www.tambuli.com.manila sales office nos 632-5222302-03.going back to waterfront lahug,it is a 5 star hotel so about 18 bars,restaurants jap,italian,sports bar,disco,karaoke,casino all on premises...
to I love cebu
glad to know uou like MIVIDA,it is one of my favorite hangouts,you know it is very easy to pick up those sexy girls who dance on the bar,they are dancers or part time models and the place is friendly yet classy,guys it is located on the 2nd floor of the ayala entertainment center,H2o is the disco of the waterfront lahug.personally you can get the best pickings on ladies night regards

to i love cebu

forgot to remind you it is cheaper to book tambuli through asiahotels.com 50$ for standard double then directly you pay 65$ if you go through the hotel web site regards

Cebu Local and I Love Cebu:
Thanks for all your tips. I'll try booking the Waterfront "locals" deal when I get to AC.
Cebu Local:
How do you make your money out of all this? How can I patronize your company?

Cebu local,
Do you know of any serviced apartments in Cebu that rent daily or weekly and that have a safe in the room?
Thanks for your answer

To mineshaft
actually i dont make money out of this,i sort of try to do my good deed for the day this way.if i can help a person from being scammed or help a person get a good deal on airfare or hotels,a simple thanks is fine.being in the travel industry gives me a lot of experiences some great,like the 3 AC bargirls who i brought to baguio and made me come 17 times over 3 days,some bad,got drugged by a thai ***** 8 years ago and almost died,basically if these tips i give help,thats great by me,i am here to help
Pimelonman
serviced apartments are not that common,usually what most people do is negotiate a long staying guest rate with a hotel or pension house,they usually knock about 50-60% the daily rate,w8ill look into your question
fellow cebu lover
will drop you an email later this week,since i am sure you have some interesting experiences

cebu local,
heard that Harem closed down already. Is that true? I enjoyed their show last time i was there. I understand that there are lots of chinese living in cebu. Do you know where I can get some chinse girls?

Hey Cebu,
You deserve a paycheck for the time you devote to this board. I would certainly be happy to put a few beers into you for your efforts.
As you may have read on the AC board, I'm gonna be in town in December. Come up to AC for the Hash Run on the 8th ! No...? Well, maybe I can hop down for a look around your "stomp'n grounds".
I've got 5 more years to go until retirement. I've gotta find someplace, with diving, to hang my hat.

Cebu Local,
You're a good man. I was just in Manila last month, did not manage to venture to other cities however, I did stay in Plantation Bay a couple of years ago. That was before I knew of this forum. I will be back in November, would you be able to hook me up with some deals and ladies then?
What's to do in Cebu in November? I will probobly fly in on a Friday AM and leave Monday AM - I would like to stay on a beach and easy access to the ladies.
Looking forward to your recommendations.

first of all plantation bay is not girl friendly since it is family oriented resort,they charge a 25-35$ joiners fee,which is kind of excessive considering the girl should cost you 30-40$.they make her register and hassle her.more girl friendly at the high end would be shangrila,since the disco of the shangrila coco loco is pick up place,even the waitresses there are available.best value would be tambuli beach resort at mid range,plus it is girl friendly as long as you register as a double,same price as single.you can pick up at club uk in mactan,waterfront mactan lobby.as well as arrange through your taxi driver.

cebu has a large filipino chinese community,unfortunately the chinese girls or mixed blood chinese girls are more in demand for their fair skin by taiwanese,japs and koreans.best bet would be to go to places that cater to taiwanese,japs and koreans,the golden calesa ktv waterfront mactan,the ktv at the basement of waterfront lahug.these are frequented by people who prefer fair skin

will probably visit you on the 8th for your hash run in AC,variety is the spice of life.discovered it is fun to mix AC with Cebu,If you are into food,there is this new cajun place on fields called cottage kitchen,i was just there recently with a new friend,the AC girl from cebu who was with me in baguio,remember.regards

Cebu Local,
Thanks for the info. Actually I am from Visayas - left Philippines ove 20 years ago. I have been coming for work for the last 2 years, I have been getting my fill from the bars along Quezon Ave. and Roxas blvd. while I'm Manila.
I will give lots to warning if I am able to make it to Cebu on my next trip. Buy you a beer and just chill.
