General Information

How long will you be in Cebu? If it is for a short period of time I would suggest the Raja or Midtown. Both are centrally located on Osmena Circle. The Midtown is over Robinson's Mall.

If you fly on Cebu Air you can get a great rate at the Cebu Midtown. I paid about 1400p for a standard last December. It is a little "worn," but I found it clean and a good deal if you fly Cebu Pacific.

The Rajah is the old "Garwood." It has been completly renovated and has a big "Casino Filipina" sign on it. The rooms are a bit smaller (I paid 2400p for a standard in Jan 06), but again you are paying for location.

From either you can walk to the Silver Dollor & Firehouse. I have no problem walking down Mango Ave to the rest of the "usual" bars (Exotica, Black Hole, etc.).

Good luck.

Bill:

If you want a cheap hotel try looking at Northwinds, usually around P1200 not bad rooms either. The advantage is you are close to Sunflower disco (a great pickup place) and Ayala mall (also a great place for freelancers). Also you can walk up the block to JY square for breakfast in the French bread restraunt, a McD's etc.

I also suggest the Richmond hotel, once again Very cheap, good location, I stayed there several times and one could walk to the lone star bar, and the area of the Black hole, silver dollar etc. Price was around P1200 a night. VERY girl friendly and you can walk to Ayala. I dont know if you care about this but there is a GREAT gym two blocks from the Richmond in the Mango square business park.

You might also try Eddies, a little higher, maybe P1400, have heard some bad things about it but I personally never had a bad experience there.

Here are a few other hotels you can check out if the others are booked up.

Mango Square, Castle peak. All are in the P1200 to P1500 range.

If you want a little more upscale check into Montebello, its near Country Mall and IMHO a bit out of the way, however a great pool.

As far as bar action I only place I've been in is Lone star. Best luck you can have in Cebu is looking for the numerous freelancers lots of students there in from the provinces. You can try to make contact with them in the Mall's like Ayala or SM or Robinsons.

Sunflower which I mentioned before has a lot of freelancers, sometimes you can score witht he numerous Korean or Jap girls but you probably need a sidekick. Also check out Ratsky's in Ayala Mall and Sinners and Saints near Country Mall, all disco's, come around on Ladies night, usually wednesday
or Thurs.

Consider this surefire plan of attack. Try chatting up some of these girls on yahoo first, collect a few phone numbers and line 'em up on slow nights. The Cebu internets are full of young women trying to meet foreigners, try going into one of them and smile at Rosie while she's chatting, see what happens.

I know you dont like old bastard expats like myself but if you need any help I'll probably be in cebu for a mixed martial arts tourney end of July. I know a lot of the cops if you get in trouble give me a holler, I bail your young ass out.

Thanks for the informative post SH,

I went to Sinners and Saints, and was the only foreigner there. It was crowded and I didn't like the situation....they asked the two of us to move to another table because they had "other" customers. Nevertheless, I wouldn't hesitate to go again. It's a very Filipino atmosphere. Go with the flow...

Country mall.....what is the name of that street again? If I'm not mistaken there is a restaurant called "Lighthouse" there and a smaller version is located on Mango Blvd (Maxilon....what is the official name?). This place is very popular and you can expect Filipino service (be patient).

Across from the mall and a bit north is a expat bar called Badger. Many taxi drivers don't know this place, but it's on the opposite side of the mall and just a bit further up the road. If things are still the same, they have flag motifs in the window and occupy the first and second floor. You should be able to see the place from the road even if your taxi driver is clueless....as mine was.

On weekdays the 2nd floor is empty (WAS empty) and I enjoyed a nice quiet* date there on two different occasions. *On the second occasion a salsa group started their dance practice/ lesson about 8 or 9 pm, but it was actually entertaining rather than disruptive.

I visited the Casino 3 times in January and found girls on th ebenches there. Looking very bored and waiting to be approached, they were obviously working girls and probably cheap but I did not enquire.

I found the girls at Exotica, Dimples and Papillon to be really nice. One or two pushy ones but on the whole they were nice ladies just there to make a buck. Some real cuties you could fall in love with. Yes, they ask for drinks, but so what, the drinks are cheap anyway and all of the places are free to enter.

I agree with you on Sinners and Saints, lot of Filipinos, also some spotty service I was there with the Mrs and I noticed a LOTof upscale gals (some giving me the eye too) as I was the only foreigner but overall a nice atmospere, who knows maybe if we tout it a bit here it might develop into a "good place". SAints, is close to country Mall, dont know the street but I think the Barangay is Banilad, main road anyhow.

Also check out a place in lapu Lapu city (I think) called The Cadillac, nice place, it is run by an expat, guy treats you like royalty. Nice dance floor, liv e band and resturaunt serving good food, also lots of ladies "unattached"possibly looking for one of the expats who frequent the place. rememebr I can't (don;t) monger as I go there with my wife. So its up to you guys to carry the torch.

Good luck

As far as a bail out I am sure I can manage just fine I will just show them how great my grammar is this should dazzle them enough.

Thanks again,

Cebu City and a tale of did-he, he did.

I just spent a weekend in Cebu City and would like to thank this board and you guys for the information. I was hoping to meet up with Dragon Slayer, but he was not visiting at the same time.

Exchange rate was a little over 52 pesos for a US dollar. Rajah Park Hotel, located on Fuente Osmena, a traffic circle, has a special room rate of 888 pesos plus government tax, which came out to under $20 for one person. Add 600 pesos plus tax for a second person in the room with breakfast. A manager at Cebu Midtown Hotel said that a Cebu Pacific Air (CPA to the accounting types) boarding pass shown at check -in could get a deluxe room for under 2,000 pesos, which was about $38. The Rajah room was called a studio and was clean and newish with a tile floor and a queen-sized bed, which had a snug but not closed-in feel without a window.

Food was cheap too. Food court in the basement of the same building as the Midtown Hotel had about a dozen stalls with a place of white rice and a meat dish starting about 65 pesos (about $1.25). An eat-all-you-can (not all-you-can-eat) buffet restaurant called Joven located three blocks from the circle on Osmena across from the hospital offered lunch for 135 pesos (about $2.60). There I stuffed myself on roast pork, sausage on a stick, roasted chicken, dim sum, fish, mixed vegetable, noodles, white rice, soup, pickled sea weed, sliced fruits, pastries, etc and drank fountain soda. On the street during the day there were food stalls. The best was Chicken Butterfly, that had golden-brown fried breaded chicken parts, at various prices from 7 pesos (about 15 cents) for neck to 30 pesos (about 60 cents) for breast.

Good clubs were Sisters, which was next to the Black Hole on Mango Street, and Temptation, which was about 50 meters down the street after you take a right at the gasoline station on the corner. Easy walking between the two clubs. A beer at Sisters cost 60 pesos (about $1.20) and at Temptation cost 50 pesos (about $1). My favorite place was the Cobra Bar, a second-floor club with a pool table on the first floor, located on Frutoso Ramos about a block pass the Holiday Plaza away from the Midtown. On the glass entrance door of Cobra was a poster for Rev's Driving School, a name more suited for race driving. Imagine a slogan for this place like drink, drive, and shoot pool. A beer cost 60 pesos (about $1.20) which included the price of the entertainment. It was a small place, but audience participation was allowed since a 300-pound German guy in liderhosen with a whale belly got up and showed off his dance moves in competition with a female performer, who looked almost like a dwarf dancing next to the G-man. Other optional costs related to a companion generally ranged around 700 pesos for the club and 1,000 to 1,500 pesos for extras.

In a club, I met Juanita who was 20 year old, single, and had been working there for a year. She was medium size with a firm build, luscious tatas and lavish booty, and a Spanish cast to her Polynesian looks and long eyelashes. Dream of long-haired island girl in grass skirt with castanets in hands. Having visited Buenos Aires (by the way, attended one of Jackson's thanksgiving dinners), I am partial to the Latin look and found the Latin-flavored Cebu girls to be attractive in a darkish flavor. Being a 50-plus pudgy, below-average looking guy on a budget, I felt especially fortunate to be the attention of a young girl in spite of the competition of all the other guys, most were lean studs in their 30s from Australia and Europe and their bulging pockets with enough money to buy lots of lady drinks (around 150 pesos or $3). Truth be said, I had not been with a girl for a long time and had some misgivings on whether I could perform or not. Guys tell that it is like riding a bicycle, in that you never forget and your body will remember how.

As I gazed into Juanita's beautiful dark eyes and we embraced in my hotel room, I had this feeling that she was the right one for me. This feeling was tripled when her soft lips and mouth tenderly massaged my bare fob of throb. Looking back, I recognized my feeling was tainted with long-term abstinence. Without thinking after donning protection, I grasped her upper arms like bike handles and positioned myself missionary-wise. Then a moment of panic hit me. How could I pedal if I was on both my knees? I was ready to launch, but did not know where to go. It was like reving up a car engine, but it would not kick start into action. I tried rocking from one knee to the other knee to sort of simulate pedaling a bike. It was no help. Juanita gave me an odd look of what is this guy doing. Finally, she grabbed me and we were doing it. I looked at her laying on her back and saw that she was pumping her legs up and down alternately. Now I understood what went wrong. The trick to riding a bicycle was for me to be the bicycle and let her do the riding.

Luckily, I found her hot spot. It was a vampiric kiss to the side of her neck. All I can say about my kiss is that eating Chicken Butterfly neck was good practice for doing it. As she approached her pinnacle, I felt a moment of pride. Such moments were, of course, indoctrinated by American feminists that a decent man should give priority to his woman and that his satisfaction means nothing unless she has her satisfaction regardless of his. After years of such indoctrination, I could not help but feel pride like Captain Ahab standing on a peg leg atop the bridge of his ship the Herman Melville as he spied the great white whale raising its head above the ocean waves. Thar she blows.

I did a good job, because Juanita said it was good and even gave me a pet native name, Ling. Her exact words when she pinocled were, good-Ling good-Ling. Afterwards, Juanita said she had to leave. But, I said you committed to staying with me for three hours until 3 am when the club closes and when you had to return home to your parents. She said that she had to return to the club to check out before it closes. I said there were still another two hours for that and time enough for an encounter of a second kind. She said that I could return to the club for her tomorrow for seconds.

Wondering if we would ever meet again, I reached for my camera and took her photo. She told me to not show her photo to my friends. I said that would make you my secret girl friend. She asked increduously with disbelief you want a girl friend who works in a club? I had not seriously consider having her as a girl friend meaning a serious relationship, but at the same time I was seriously subconsciously hoping for her to become my girl friend meaning a regular companion for at least the time I was there and maybe then some. The best I could respond at that moment was to say was my girl friend would no longer be a companion to other guys at least in a biological sense. When I said this, I started to stutter and mumble and silently called myself a blithering idiot.

The next day, I pondered what was said, what could be done, and future possibilities. I walked around Cebu trying to clear my head and encountered a building under construction, the Crown Plaza Hotel. A sign sign said something about a model available for viewing, so I walked up the driveway which led to a second building in back of the first building. There was a sales office for Club Ultima which offered membership for a sports club, restaurant, and second hotel and with club membership the possibility to buy a condo in a third building starting about $50,000 for a basic unit of 50 square meters without flooring or fixtures. No details were given on its web site of the same name, because it was in the pre-selling (the sales lady pronounced it pray-sa-lyn) phase with prices to increase next week and almost two-thirds of the 300 condo units already sold with construction to be completed in three years. I wondered if I were to buy a condo, would it impress Juanita? Would she wait three years or longer for installation of the flooring, fixtures, and interior design for furniture and decorations? Was learning how to ride a bicycle again worth these mental ups and downs?

I guess I better close this note. I hope it provides some new information for dudes interested in this city and maybe a facet of personal experiences.

Stand In (on a corner and watching all the girls go by).
Stand In (a substitute for somebody else)

[b][u]EDITOR'S NOTE[/u]:[/b] [blue]I certainly hope that the author or somebody else will post a link to this report in the Reports of Distinction thread.[/blue]

After spending about 12 of the past 24 months here i am behaving in a way I never imaginged. Charlie Shean was asked (this is the young Shean, the guy who was in Platoon) why he would pay for sex when so many girls would love to be with him for free. His responce was something to the effect of....because when it's all over I say a friendly good bye or do what I like.... The idea of the CONVENIENCE of going with a girl from a bar is just a luxury I can't seem to pass up. My time is limited. I have to be discreet. I should stick with having a girl friend or two when I'm here. But being 100% in control because I'm paying means I don't have to have commitiments a relationiship would require. For those commitments, I have a real someone in the US.

I'll never forget a girl I hooked with in Thailand about 10 years ago. She was a godess in so many ways. While in Bangkok I wouldn't dream of going with another girl. i bar fined her pretty much every night I was there as I recall.

But now somehow age has made me into someone that likes a new partner every time I go out to get laid (my age is 34-43, sorry to be vague). It's pretty crazy. I've been with so many girls from bars in Cebu now. At least 50. Why go fishinig for someone new when the prior week you found a gold nugget? There's just something about that first time that is somehow so much more amazing than it used to be.

As far as other posts about non pros. Guys, don't be ass holes and lead chicks on in a big way just so you can fuck 'em and leave 'em. Obviously, we can't always share the 100% reality, but don't promise you'll spend your month vacation with someone and take them to Borocay just so you can get past kissing and get fucked for 20 minutes. That is not a conquest...that is someone who is a simple coward and MAJOR loser.

I remember "pressuring" someone to fuck me here who was not a pro when we where just lieing in bed. What sucks is that catholic girls always say "no, no, no!" and sometime they mean it and sometimes they don't. This girl I refer to got all emotionally fucked after we had great sex. i was the first time in 1.5 years or something (maybe first since she split with her ex) and her catholic guilt that it was just casual caused her trauma afterwords.

So read your tea leaves well. I used to spend a lot more time meeting girls in Cebu on the Web. It's easy to get laid, but you never know if someone's good to go until you spend some time. I don't have the extra time to hang out with someone who's not exactly my type personality wise but who's a 9 that I know would at least LIKE to fuck me if some mental/religeous issue weren't getting in her way.

Some people like the game of "will she go for it".... all the way from a first meeting to when you're sitting on a couch just kissing. It's definately great once you score and you know she's into it (although in any case I haven't been with a bar girl that didn't get all wet and worked up because I happen to be the look and personality that they like here in Cebu).

If you have the time THIS IS THE PLACE TO DO IT. That's the bottom line with non pros here. If you want to get laid with little effort and with someone that's 4 times better looking then someone you could sleep with if you're from the US or Europe, this is truly the place to do it! But unless you are an asshole out to fuck a girl mentally so that you can fuck her physically, there is still work involved.

If you come to Cebu and it's new to you don't ever forget this is a very Catholic place! More so than up north. People follow "tradition" more here than in the north I think it's fair to say. But I think it's fair to say that all that has changed a lot over just even the last 10 years.

Far more girls are willing to lose their virginity before marraige then was the case 10 years ago (most are now). Casual sex is far more acceptable than it used to be.

last thought. If you don't want to waste a non pros time and your's, think about every little clue you can to find out if the OPTION is even open for her to sleep with you after a couple (or one) date. How "religeous" is she? Ask her in a very tactful what she thinks about another girl that would sleep with a guy after a couple dates. I've spent a few too many times with 9s that show with their eyes and bodies that they want to jump my bones only to later discover they CAN'T because of "what's right" to them or because they are determined to be virgins when they marry. In some of those cases I could have found out much sooner that it would not lead to anything involving sex.

I can answer most any question about Cebu. Cebu Local is still my hero on this thread (don't know when he was last posting on here). I like the way he thinks-- smart dude, I like his attitude, and he knows all about Cebu. Many of his old posts are STILL spot-on.

But i don't mind throwing in some answers to questions as long as the answers are not strewn around this thread!!! So many questions get asked 10 times! There is a wealth of info on here. Things really have not changed much with girls here in the last 2 years.

Here's a tip which does need some verification from someone else on here. If you're looking for freelancers...very good looking I would say...2 hot spots for that over the last year have been the upscale bar on the right of the enterence of Ayala entertainment where you may see a group of three or 4 girls. If you look their way they will make it VERY obvious they are up for pay to play.

the 2nd: there is a darkish spot you can stand in front of Starbucks also at Ayala entertainment enterence. A few girls will also stand there and when you walk by will make it obvious they are looking for pay for play.

Best time for this is usually 7-8PM roughly.

Sad to say, I don't know how much of the time these are the same chicks. They SEEM to be usually the same because they have in common that they are tall with super bodies. I know one group of girls that do look for guys in these places are from another island where there are very few tourists. They come to Cebu to make some extra money. I've never actually gone with any of them but have spoken.

To make matters confused, the guys that are lady boys will also hang at the bar that i mentioned. I've seen plenty there and they are obviously not girls and they try to follow me.

But the crazy thing is sometimes I think some of the girls that I mentioned are lady boys!!! In Thailand it is said that sometimes these guys do such a good job that you really can't even tell. I'm always looking for the adams apple on the girls I mention because at least one of them usually look quite hot, an 8-9. I really don't think, I'm almost sure, they are NOT lady boys! But THAT is a question I would love for others to answer if they know.

Wander, Your post was quite good, Thailand is "The place" for finding your own goddess, however, these girls are more Mercinary IMHO than the average Filipina. You also mention Ladyboys in Cebu, you are correct about the venue aroudn Starbucks Ayala, I have also seen a troupe of "lady boys" who were working out of an alley across from the Sunflower. They were showing up around closing time hoping to lure a drunk into their web. This said, I personally think there is a WORLD of difference in determining the "Thai" Ladyboys Vs. the Filipino version. The Thai version can be VERY hard to tell at times, many have plastic surgery, breast enhancements, contacts, nose jobs etc. The Filipino version IMHO look like men dressed up like women, a clue for the half drunk and unsuspecting is some "girl" dressed to fashion, more so than your average street walker or "freelancer" looking "good" from a distance, but up close the clues become obvious as you mentioned.

Now for the verification. I beleive the club you are talking about in Ayala entertainment section is RATSKYs. The girls usually hang around out front near the coffee shop or the bar near the entrance so they dont have to pay the entrance fee while up potentials. There are several reasons why RATSKYS may be "it" lately.

Sunflower has increased its entrance fee from P100 to P150 on the weekends and "ladies night" (Thursday) is no longer free. The ladies pay and get a free beer. So a lot of them are going to Ratskys which has no cover on weekdays and (I beleive) P100 friday/Sat.

Freelancers can also been seen at Starbucks outside and at some of the "outside" bars just down the stairs to the right as you go out the front entrance. One place down there (cant rememeber the name) has a gutarist playing, the girls like this uy as he plays all their fav requests while they eye up potentials strolling about.

Cebu has always had a reputation as being ultra conservative catholic, this is the CENTER of Filipino Catholicism... where it started Ala Sto Nino, many Filipinos have a goal in lif eto mnake a pilgrimage to this city to visit the Catherdral and pray to image for a favor. Also IMHO women in the Phils are more into conservatism and respectibility more so than Catholicism, the girls dont want a "reputation" being seen consorting with foreigners, and they want a husband who will support them and help them take care of their families, even the freelancers. They also beleive foreigners looking for spouse material want a lady who is not "used" so much.

Hey guys,

I'm planning a week to 10 day vacation to PI. I live in Shanghai China. Perpose of the vac is the usual girl fun, ocean water fun, and make some contacts for possible future PI gf. Been in China for a few years and may have to stay for several more, and don't want China gf. Im thinking of importing a Thai, or Philipina. So, would Cebu be the place? Few days in Manilla the Cebu? Also does anyone know of a good web-site for chatting with them?

Any information would be much appreciated,

Smitt

Avoid Thai's at all costs for wife material, my opinion only after living in that country for eight months. Great for sex but closer in philiosophy and logic to Chinese you seem to be disillusioned with. Cebu is a great place to meet women and it has an international airport. I beleive Cathay has some good airfares from HK and Shanghai (if I remember) directly here avoiding Manila (A good idea). A few nice tourist destinations close by like Bohol and Bantayan Island.

I think Filipina heart is still the rage, I hear bad things about cherry blossoms, lots of lady boys posing as stunners, etc. Good idea to chat a few of the ladies up and coordinate for your upcoming trip. I would also get a Phils sim pack for your cell phone if you can, having a mobile with a Phils number is a great mongering aide.

good luck

Hi,

I'm new to the forum. I've been to Cebu a couple of times already and going next week again for business. I tend to flock to upscale G Clubs while living in Thailand and love Arenas in Cebu. The midget shows, singers and girls are great! Does anyone know of any KTVs like Arenas in Manila or Cebu where the girls are young, fun, upbeat? I've been to Pegasus in Manila and felt it was for older Asian businessmen and alittle dark and boring.

Cheers and thanks!

I go fairly often to Makati for business, and sometimes take a side trip for fun. Last time I tried El Nido Lagen in Palawan, but of course I had to bring a girl with me since there is no action there.

This time I am thinking of going to Cebu, but hooking up with different Cebuana girls while there. I have already contacted a bunch on dating sites that want to meet me, so I don't need to be close to bars. So, I want the most upscale place that is also relatively easily accessible to a girl that lives in Cebu City. I would go for the Shangrila Mactan, but I am worried that Lapu-Lapu Island is hard for Cebu City girls to get to. From perusing here and elsewhere, the Waterfront Hotel seems to be one of the best choices right in the city. Do folks here agree? Is it girl-friendly (no questions asked)? What about the Alegre Beach Resort: is that close enough for local girls to get to? Any other suggestions? Price is not an issue -- I want the nicest place possible that is also convenient for local girls to meet me.

On a related note, what are the best resources for day trips for snorkeling, diving, island hopping, etc?

Thanks!


PS Attached are two pics of the girl that I brought to El Nido Lagen (on an island hopping trip).

I stayed at the Waterfront in Lahug in April. It is a very good hotel with very good restaurants. When I was checking in and registering at the front desk the woman there asked if I was alone, I said I wasn't sure yet. She laughed and put down two people. She did that for the included morning breakfasts. I think it was the same rate either way. I brought back two girls on seperate nights. The first girl and I walked in no one stopped us. I think security just missed us. The second girl had to register at the front desk. Neither of the bargirls had been there before and both seemed impressed. It is a five star hotel. Better then the five star Heritage Hotel I stayed at in Manila.

Just bring your own bottled water. The hotel only stocked small bottles of Evian and when looking at my bill later saw they were around 4 usd each.

I arrived here on Friday night, dropped the bags and headed out.

I was at the Midtown Hotel the first night, then moved over to the Marriott the next afternoon. Both are guest friendly. Midtown is falling apart and really needs maintenance bad. I only stayed there one night because Marriott was full.

So first I went to Silver Dollar. I always have a blast here and this night was no exception. This was even though, JM, my usualy squeeze and tormentor here, was out for the night. But there were several other demented babes to take her place. I don't know why this place is always so darn much fun even though I never barfine here. After about an hour of pretend humping on the barstool with one girl I headed out to Mango Avenue.

First I went to Sisters Bar. I had intended to bar hop but I got no further than this bar. Stand in I also reported this place was good and I have to agree. Even though it was a busy Friday night and lots of girls were taken there were still several other hot bodied lookers available. I was told this place has only been open a couple of months. After buying a few lady drinks (170 each I think?) I finally decided to go home with Daphne. She's about 4-11, 85 pounds, silky long hair....mmmm I may have to go back for her again. The barfine was 1800. I decided to give her an extra thousand. She was worth it.

I've been meeting internet chat girls the last couple of days but I hope to get out to the naughty scene again a time or two.
