Manila

[QUOTE=Manny51;1837197]I got off the LRT station, walked toward Recto, then took a right on Recto. There are a lot of bookstores in hawkers selling used textbooks in that area. Its a very dusty, working class area.

To give you an idea, it looked like the area where they filmed Bourne Legacy. I don't know if it actually was, but it sure looked like it. Dirty. Grimy. With the elevated tracks overhead.[/QUOTE]Yes, that's the area. There are two LRT stations in the area, LRT2 Recto and LRT1 Doroteo Jose. You'll see Far Eastern University across the street from Recto station. Just look for all the girls in their green plaid skirts. UST is a short walk away. If you find the pavement too bustling with people and uneven to walk safely, in this area a good place to trawl is inside the Isetann Department Store. It rarely gets any foreign customers, and the shop girls are quite attractive. You can get calling cards made in the area at one of the many print shops, and these make it easy to hand to a girl. Also in this area are where all the fake documents are made.

With the elevated tracks overhead.[/QUOTE]The street scenes in Bourne Legacy--getting a hotel room, buying medicine, rooftop chase--were filmed along San Andres in Malate, just south of Remedios Circle, and the narrow alley rescue of Rachel Weisz was at a set they built in an empty lot at Remedios Circle. Motorcycle chase scenes were filmed under LRT 2 along Magsaysay Boulevard, the overhead walkway (knocking the woman's oranges out of her bag and jumping down onto a bus) and high overhead scaffolding scenes were at Taft and EDSA, the fruit market crash was in a public market in Marikina, and the final sliding motorcycle crash was in the fish port complex in Navotas.

How's that for meaningless trivia? The San Andres area is actually a notch better than the area I described near Carriedo Station but possibly similar to the university section you described.

I think H pretty much just told us how it's done in the Quiapo area.

I wanted to see some of the areas of filming when I was there (a fun thing I like to do when traveling when possible), but I couldn't find much except to say that some scenes were filmed in Malate. But when I walked Recto, I was satisfied that I had seen the "real" Manila and didn't pursue it further.

Reading the last few posts about Philippines. I know it's about retiring but seems like Thai is better then Manila maybe this will change my thoughts about going to Manila haha Thai would be cool I think to I was choosing between the 2. Thanks guys LOL. But possibly still go to Manila. It be my first time still doing some research as of right now. I have paid ISG account so it's OK. I just won't stay out very late when I'm there as it seems to be quite dangerous for foreigners anyways and food being crap? Well thank you all.

[QUOTE=Rick5269;1836313]My first walk was down Rizal St, heading North from Carriedo Station towards Recto, walking on the east side of the street. If you walk on the footpath proper, you'll eventually see signs for various stripper joints. I went in one along the way that advertised 8 girls. I walked up the stairs, into a completely dark room with faint disco lights flashing. A man clapped his hands (presumably calling the girls) and invited me in for a drink. The darkness of the place made me nervous and, without a wingman, I bailed. Might be interesting.

After that, I turned right at Recto and walked towards the Isetaan plaza. An uninteresting mall, except for the entry steps at the corner of Evangalista & Recto. Here were obvious WG's, locking eyes with me. I wasn't sure what to do, and the one I like shortly vanished. I tried to follow her, but lost her in the crowd. I wanted to investigate further, so returned to the steps. There a mamasan approached me and asked what I wanted. I told her slim, under 30, pretty. She called a girl over that fit the bill perfectly. She told me 3 K for short time. I laughed and told her she was crazy. She quickly dropped to 1 k, the "local rate" - right. It was enough for me, though, so we agreed. She asked where I'd go and said the girl would follow me. I told her the ST hotel just down the Recto the way I had come. For some reason, she didn't like that, and suggested another hotel further up Recto. One of my mongering rules is that I always choose the spot. Beginning to feel this may be a trap, I thanked her and bailed back down Recto. She chased me a bit, but gave up. I was probably worried for nothing, but I have my guidelines out of an abundance of caution and they don't work if you readily drop them.

So, onwards. Went a short distance down Recto and stopped at a bar for an SML. The waitresses here were sexily dressed and cute, but I wasn't sure of the deal, so I left after 2. Needless to say, I was the only foreigner there (in fact possibly the only foreigner in Quiapo!) but enjoyed the 45 PHP beer. Retracing my steps, I went down Recto and left onto Rizal, walking on the west side now, which is much emptier than the east side- a couple of closed bars, some money changers and a grocery store. Before too long, probably midway between Carriedo & Recto, a cute girl caught my eye. Her mamasan quickly diverted my gaze and asked if I wanted her. She began an intense marketing pitch - "she very young!" Another warning phrase. I asked how young and got simply, "very young! She looked to be about 18/19, but I wanted to be sure. I asked if she had ID. She didn't, but the mama insisted the hotel around the corner knew her and would let her in. Again, Admiral Akbar's words entered my head. Getting jumped in the last situation was probably better than having cops called with an underaged girl in this one. I bid adieu and headed to the Carriedo station. (On another note, the new BEEP card, which you buy from a queue-less machine for php100 for about 10 round trips is amazing and a game changer for fast movement in manila.).[/QUOTE]I did this exact route the other day. After turning right on Recto, I saw 2 KTV clubs on the right side before getting to the Isetaan Plaza. At around 2 pm, neither had any clients. You have to buy 2 or 3 beers at a time I was told. I bailed on each because being the only one and also, I saw only 1 girl in each of the bars who looked hideous. Did alot of shopping at the mall though, great place to be, girls super friendly to chat up. Locals tell me however, you do not save alot by shopping there from the street vendors, but I was happy with purchases made.

I didn't see any girls, but I wasn't really looking for them. I was there looking for textbooks.

But what I do remember was the great food by the street vendors. I turned right on Recto, and walked toward the universities. Part of Recto St. Is an overpass over another highway. There was this guy selling fried calamari sticks. You paid him, and he gave you one of those bbq wooden skewers, and you skewered some fried calamari. I watched everyone skewer three big pieces per stick. I asked the vendor how much it was, and he help up 3 fingers. I assumed he meant 30 pesos, only to later realize that he literally meant 3 pesos.

I had lunch on that overpass. Despite my initial hesitation, I didn't get sick at all, and it all tasted great.

Gentleman.

I return to Phils in 2 weeks and I am there for a month.

My Fucket list is SHORT but ORGY remains on the list.

Who would wish to conspire with me to have at least 2 men and 3 women involved or more!

Please help an old horny man achieve his dream!

We are a wee bit kinky!

Inbox me please!
FUCK I am trying to add a picture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[QUOTE=NewImage;1835552]Huy guys. Going to Manila soon. Staying close to MOA. Quick questions.

EDSA = barfine 2000 + 2-3000 girl accurate yes / no?

Am in walking distance to EDSA. Safe to walk at night or taxi better?

Will report back after hol. In March.

Any recent relevant info appreciated.

And I have done a search and RTFF.

Cheers.[/QUOTE]If you stay on the main drag you are completely safe I stay and walk here often I am in good shape and like to walk so I think you can walk or take a jeepney even just watch your wallet and phone.

Venturing towards the airport direction near to Edsa is DANGEROUS got my necklace grabbed there one time!

[QUOTE=Pinaypounder;1839887]Venturing towards the airport direction near to Edsa is DANGEROUS got my necklace grabbed there one time![/QUOTE]That stretch is creepy as hell. All those KTV's really make me curious though. What goes on in there?

I am into debauchery. I would like to know the place(s) in the Phils where the most debauchery goes on.

Anybody?

Low key atmosphere with most of the action in rooms like singing, drinking, groping. I heard many girls have local sugar daddies and will not go out with customers.

As debauchery it is all over the world for the right person for the right amount. In Phi you need time, effort and money to score good looking ones. Does not mean she will be your own to play with. Good looking women get lots of options.

What I like in Phi is I can get down home pretty girls from the provinces without much effort. Sex is satisfying and company is excellent.

The dating / casual sex scene is very different from the punting scene. I imagine the former to be great, and the latter overpriced and meh.

Interestingly, you're take on Thailand vs PI is opposite what I would claim. I'd say that women are in fact more expensive in Thailand (Bangkok) than in PI generally. But for everything else, PI is more expensive. 5000 php girls from Burgus are probably the high end of the spectrum in manila. You can pretty easily find girls for 3000 php or cheaper if you know where to look. Take Angeles for example higher end bar fines are 3 k there. All in. Not like Burgos where its 2 or 3 k barfine then another 2 or 3 k to the girl depending on what you negotiate.

I do agree with you though that language is a huge advantage for PI. Chances of getting a GFE in PI is much greater.

[QUOTE=Manny51;1832004]On further reflection, I thought I would mull the question: How does the PI compare to the reset of SE Asia? Or other fun countries for that matter?

Firstly, on the ladies themselves. Their look is different from, say, Thais and Vietnamese. In addition to slightly darker skin, Filipinos have some Spanish / European in their ancestry. So they have bigger eyes. I thought that Filipino babies were some of the cutest I have ever seen. Asian faces / features, but with these big expressive eyes. That being said, I would say that I still prefer the more classical asian look lighter skin, slender figures, more delicate features.

As for the punting scene per se, in Thailand you have many options Soi Cowboy girly bars, soapy massage, oily massage, and other less conventional venues. In the PI, you don't have anywhere near that kind of variety. Its almost completely just girly bars. But despite that, prices in the PI are actually higher than in Thailand or Vietnam..[/QUOTE]

Had a airline booking from hell which I had consciously accepted. I have stayed at Cuenta Victoria Court a few times before. I couldn't be bothered walking out, checked wechat, could only find a few ladyboys and regular massage joints and I fell asleep about 1 am.

Jetlag had me awake about 5 am and I booked a massage girl from a choice of 7 pictures. True to the arrangement, she arrived within 25 minutes, looked good and well presented. The girl would do everything with her pants on but unwilling to get those pants off. Damage was P500 for the booking and two hour massage, tip was P1000.

Was convenient. Before long I was in a taxi going back to the airport.

I love this place.

BD.

I am traveling to Manila. Please guide me experts who are been to this place to find best places for fun, where to find independents. MPs.

I would be thankful. You can drop me message.
