how safe it is to bring my iphone with me? I've brought my iphone with me to Thailand and i've had absolutely no issues here as far as safety is concerned. Is is the same in the UPI? I'm skipping on Manila and will be going straight to Cebu and from there, hit the beaches of Boracay and Palawan and co. I'd appreciate your feedback on that guys.

Thanks.

Just as safe.

There is some agressive begging in UPI but mostly in the big cities. As always, watch your pockets when around them.

Thanks man for clarifying that.

Well, I'm initially skipping Manila and going straight to Cebu then from there, anything's possible and I might check Manila for a weekend or so. Reason I'm skipping Manila is because it's so dirty and polluted and massive traffic issues that compared to it, BKK is a breeze on the country side. LOL But I'll see how things go.

Since I havent yet met you in BKK(death in the family issues) I might bop over to Manila if I dont hit Machu Picchu for new years. New business I started so its been keeping me busy, I'm TRYING to be responsible.

Why are you skipping manilla??

I'm currently headed to Manila as we speak...sitting in first class on this Boeing 777 with the lie flat seats taking a few slow slips of champagne as we await to depart ATL to Tokyo then onto Manila...I have a long flight ahead of me but three of my friends are with me and we will touch down the vening of December 24th (about 22 in flight time thru Tokyo) to spread a little holiday cheer . The itinerary is as follows.

Manila - Friday, December 24th -Monday, December 27th
Subic Bay and maybe Angeles City for a little adventure and diving Monday, 12/27 Wednesday, 12/29
Back in Manila that Wednesday for a night then
Borocay Thursday 12/30 -Tuesday 1/4 for New Years and staying over the weekend to swoop more honies.

Should be a grand trip...already have bottle service on deck at Encore for Saturday night and have a connect there who I mentioned previously on this board who is a nightlife impresario there. Should be a grand trip we are staying at the Marriott Resort there. anyone around drop me a pm and we can get up.

I am interested in PI....where is the most livable area that is closest to nightlife? Makati? Boracay? I'm ignorant to the subject and don't want to read a bunch of bullshit guides.

I'm in Cebu now. If anyone's in town, let me know and let's go for drinks and hit the malls/clubs to pick up non pros.
First impressions coming from BKK is that while BKK is in many aspects a 1st world city, Cebu is truly a 3rd world city. The airport in Manila is one of the most basic, rustic I've ever been to. Quite a major difference to BKK's. Going to get something to eat now, then sleep before hitting the malls in the afternoon to get a sim card and pick up some honeys. I've also have quite a few dates from DIA so we'll see how that pans out...

Looking forward to experiencing the Filipino honeys...

I'm close to a girl from Banilad. She said there's a lot of creepers and weirdos in the SM and ayala malls that are ruining it for westerners. Her advice is to checkout the ayala IT park. The call centers are there and the girls need a high level of proficiency to work in them. I think she went to college in the IT park also. It might be the best spot for daygame, especially when the girls are getting off from work/school.

Post: #314

I've been in Cebu for a day now and I'll give a run down of the place so far.

Overall impression is that this place literally reeks with desperation like few other places in the world and by far the most I've seen anywhere. About 80% of the time when you pass by a filipino, you can see it in their eyes/faces, it is truly sad. Each time you pass by people or simply walking on the street, you're being analysed and scrutinized from head to toe by the people around you. It makes for a very uneasy atmosphere. While it appears to be safe given that outside almost every store, there's a security guy/policeman with a gun, bat and most time, a machine gun, I'm not sure whether these policemen would intervene or help if a foreigner were mugged or attacked by a filipino. Walking around is more a chore than an enjoyable stroll as you would in say Bangkok where you can walk in total peace of mind at any hour of the day. Here not so, or at least, I am not getting that feeling.

I've been corresponding and texting back and forth with a few girls from DIA and I met one at a club last night. In her pic on the site, she appeared sexy and cute, in person, she was nothing like that at all. I bailed after saying hi saying that I'm returning to my boys. Today, met another one that on the pic appeared very beautiful, so we set up to meet today for lunch. She texts me back that her mother and cousin will join us! Now, lunch for me is around 4-5pm and I forgot to mention that to her, so I got an avalanche of calls and text msgs from the morning with her wanting to meet at noon. At noon, I was still sleeping with the girl I picked up last night at a club where we had a wild night at the club before sleeping at 7am after hours of non stop sex. Anyways, I must have received a good dozen calls and another dozen text msgs from her. Finally texted her back that I'd be meeting her around 4pm. Again, before 4, another onslaught of missed calls and text msgs followed. I was really tempted to not even go as the desperation was too obvious.

So finally went there, she was waiting for me at the mall with her mother and fag-gay guy cousin. Once again, she was nothing like the pic on the site. But was cute enough, and since she had been waiting till noon, I didn't want to be an asshole and leave right then. They wanted me to go another mall in another part of town, I politely declined saying that I'd have a meeting to attend with a business partner in about an hour. So we stayed at that mall and went the food court to get a coffee/juice. On the way to there, we passed through a department store and I had in my mind those red signals that they would probably go on a shopping spree on my dime and was about to bail at any tiniest signal that they would buy something for me to pay. Fortunately, that didn't appear and we went straight to the food court. Had a juice, while they didn't drink anything despite me offering to get them juices. I couldn't wait fast enough to have this "date" or rather, interrogation be finished as it was obvious from the 1st moment that I have no interest in that girl.

Oh and I have another girl who wants to meet me at another mall later tonight. Again, the desperation appeared clear from the get go. As soon as I texted her, she replied back that she wants to call me at my hotel in my room as she wants to talk to me before we meet. Since I was out, chilling at a bar, I told her to just call me on my cell but she said it was too expensive to call my cell. Instead, I called her and there was no response. Very strange. Anyways, I think I'm going to pass on that one.

So far, I have not been impressed at all by what I've seen here in my first 24 hours in Cebu. The food is awful awful, that I barely eat as the only alternative is fast food. Compared to filipino food, even good old macdos appear gourmet food. And I have yet to find a good italian/spanish/arabic/indian restaurant.

The positives: yes it's dirt cheap, cheaper than Thailand. Last night, I chilled at a bar's patio prior to going clubbing, for a good 3 hours, lost track of how many drinks had there and the entire bill was 390 Pesos or about 9 bucks. Entrance to the club I went (Juliana) was 100 pesos or about $2.32 which included a drink (beer but no liquor). The club was a sausage fest, but I still managed to get a sexy little nympho with whom I had a great time both at the club and back in my hotel. So filipino flag captured the first night.

To be totally honest, I can't wait to return to Bangkok as the more time I spend here, the more I get depressed about the overall experience. To all those wondering whether to go to Thailand or to the Philippines, let me simply say that Thailand blows the Philippines in every freaking category! If you must absolutely go to the Phils, or you just want to have say you've been there and get your UPI stamp on your passport, 1 week is way more than enough and spend that on the beaches. I'm supposed to stay here 3 weeks but I'm seriously considering cutting that short and returning to BKK next week. Other than that, it's a place better off simpy skipped.

I really have a hard time understanding the guys that spend years there just for the sake of easy pussy. That IMO is a sad state to be in, to sacrifice everything else just to have easy girls who are desperate. These girls are desperate precisely because of the fact that this place is a dump, for the most part. Sure there are some well off people and some nicer, richer and more developped areas in the Phils, but it's not a place I'd spend more than my time here, let alone years. Is (easy and desperate) pussy really all that matters to these guys? To me, chasing tail is the icing on the cake, not the main thing and I guess that's why I've been enjoying BKK so much as there is much to do while the night life is spectacular too.

Coming from Bangkok, it's really evident and in a very direct way in your face type of thing that you're coming to a 3rd if not 4th world country. BKK is truly in a different league than Cebu. I don't know about Manila, was thinking of checking it out for a week or so, but I'm seriously having second thoughts on that too. Have you guys who have been to the Phils had the same experience/feelings while there that I'm having? It's not like it's the first time I'm travelling to a 3rd world country. Even in the remotest and poorest parts of Brasil I didn't feel nor see that level of desperation and I'm talking the interior of Ceara and outside Brasilia and Goaias where it's pretty poor. Or maybe I'm staying in the wrong part of Cebu? I'm near the Robinson mall, and if anyone knows a better or the best area in town, as well as suggestions on other places preferably a heavenly beach to hit, I'd be grateful to them as I'm simply not enjoying it all so far.

Careful in what way? Since you're the Pinoys resident expert on these forums, I'd be interested to hear your say about them filipinas and what you meant on your quoted comment. However, I have noticed that based on the ones I've met from that site, both in BKK and in Cebu, it seems that 90% of the girls pics are either heavily photoshopped or were taken a good 10-20 years ago if not both as was the case with a supposedly hot looking sexy chinese-thai girl in BKK I met and that I bailed out after just 5 minutes.

Thanks for the good info Vacancier. I have a DIA account and about 90% of the unsolicited messages I get are from girls in the UPI.

Post: #317

Dude you are going to the wrong places.

Manila and Cebu City and the two ugliest places in the entire country.

Work your way to Palawan and Borcacay.

From where you are now however, Bohol / Tagbilaran / Panglao are very near to you and they look like this :

http://www.boholbeachclub.com.ph/photogallery.htm

So check them out first.

If you dont have the cash to stay at bohol beach club stay at nearby Alona Beach where you can find a cheap hostel on a very quiet and beautiful beach and get easy access to Panglao.

http://wikitravel.org/en/Panglao

Obviously those places dont have the nightlife that the big cities have so pickup a hot pinay in Cebu and take her with you if you like her.

Philippines is paradise if you know where to go but Manila and Cebu are ugly as hell.

You will probably go through manila a few times if you are hopping around islands as that is the main hub. When in Manila, stay at Our Melting Pot Hostel.

For about $18 per night you get a sweet place to stay including breakfast, free wifi, a swimming pool and gym included and the owners are tour guides who will plan out your entire trip in the country customised for you based on what you tell them you want to see and do and how much time you have.

And they will do it for free.

Careful in the sense that the most 'enthusiastic' responses that you get from DIA will most likely fall into one of 3 categories :

1. Desperate
2. Ladyboy
3. P4P

I am not saying all chicks on there fall into that category. One of my Filipina regulars was a girl I met on there and she is great but, boy did I have to do a lot of filtering !

Personally I would never meet anyone from that site unless they

* Travelled to see me as I am not going to go out of my way to meet any chick. Usually I would just tell them what bar I was in that night and tell them to come there. (dont meet anyone off there who makes it a condition to pay their cabfare, sure sign of a P4P chick)

* Checked that they are not a ladyboy. I will ask them by text beforehand if I am not sure or even if I am only 90% sure that they are not.

* Would never meet a girl who wanted to bring a 3rd party. I am not interested in, and don't have time, to be screened by 3rd parties. Nor am I interested in taking her family out to dinner.

If you are using DIA to meet chicks you need to have your filter goggles on and your inner game tight. Either they meet you on your terms or they don't meet you at all.

Also if you are using nightgame to meet chicks you are going are going to run into a lot of P4P. It is not part of filipino culture for women to drink in bars.

Once you spend some time there however, the filtering becomes automatic.

Overall I would say that there isnt anything about Thailand that is better than the Philippines (unless you like being surrounded by tourists) but to each his own.

Final note is, as has already been pointed out in this thread by myself and others, you will meet higher quality girls and have to do less filtering if you day game and hit up chicks who are working in the stores at the malls.

Post: #319

Thanks for the breakdown of the DIA girls and I agree with everything you wrote as I have noticed that too. I'll check the places you mentioned and will contact some local travel agencies to see if they have some good deals to nice beaches. Will hit the malls too tomorrow and will see how that goes. Any particular mall you'd recommend in Cebu with the best talent/attitude of the girls?

I'm here in Borocay right now for New Years with two of my friends and a few well off Philippino dime piece honies from Manila. Overall its a pretty cool spot, the quality of the local girls isn't as good though and its tons of ladyboys at night and its expensive durinng this time of year so my girl says most working class and university girls from Manila and Cebu don't come here during this time of year. The girl I'm with paid for my ticket and accomodations so I've been dicking her down nightly and has let me have free reign even enough so to where I slid off last night and banged a smokin hot white-philippino girl who is staying on the beach.

Day game is a must here and its easily doable as at night the beach front bars, clubs, lounges fill with foreign douchebags. Me and my guys have been going for mid morning jogs on the beach daily and have received tons of eye fucks with girls staring us down and we have stopped at times to holla at girls whilst our 4 mile runs. And also have been chilling on the beach and at cafes usually at this central spot called Epic whichis very player with a nice ambiance during the day and tons of chicls walking through there for happpy hour. The place is cheap by westeran standards with beer costing less than a $1 at the club and mixed drinks around $3-$4 and food from $3-$10 depending where you go to.

Also its tons of Russian/Ukrainian chicks here who are DTF, me and my brother pulled a set last night and made out with them but unfortunately couldn't seal the deal because they were staying with their family. But they are definitely out here along with russian cocock blockers who blocked my brother from getting it on with another hot russian babe. My other boy from NYC has been cleaning up with them using direct day game and instant dates with great results which is why during the day in beach vacation spots is the best method for pulling chicks hands down. Shit why wait until the night to establish the good vibes when we're all on vacation?

You don't see many single guys here with game from what I've noticed and its a lot of freaky fetish western men with ladyboys which I don't understand I've seen them sometimes with over 3 of them at the same time...unbelievable. You really have to be careful in the clubs here in borocay because those lady boys come out at night and they let them in the club unlike good spots in thailand.

We first stopped in Manila for a few days and went hard at Republic, Encore and another cool working class bar area called home depot few spots there are called bugsy, the reserve and we checked out this other bar with some chicks. Manila is very easy to pull women, the trick is pulling the upper class ones not from the province (country) and luckily for
Me I've found the ones with more money, education, culture and backround are easier to pull and are way hotter than a slut bar chick I see a lot of these sex tourists out here with. Date in Asia really isn't even needed out here in you have game and are good looking. I've banged solid 7,8,9's on a nightly basis here with no end in sight. Manila isn't the prettiest place but its cool for 3-4 days of chilling before your on to the next spot.
