Overview
The Best time to come to Manila in terms of chasing girls is anytime of the year. Of course, during the peak season (Christmas through New Years) you will see more tourists. But even then, the girls way outnumber the guys. Weather wise, December, January, and February are the best times to come as that is the cool season. June to September is when the rains hit hard. Actually, a great time as there are no tourists and you'll have all the girls to yourself. Manila is not exactly the place to spend your entire stay in the Philippines. Manila is good for about a couple of nights and enjoy some the nightlife it offers. Being that there is so much pollution, traffic and crime, not necessarily in that order, you will want to limit your days and nights chasing pussy there. We suggest you stay there overnight for the following reasons:
1) If your plane arrives late at night, like 10-11pm., we suggest you stay for the night and leave the next morning to Angeles, Olongapo, Cebu, etc.
2) When leaving the Philippines and your plane departs early in the morning, you may want to arrive in Manila in the late afternoon, check in to your hotel, and go out for a few hours at night and then get on your plane the next day.

 
 
Women
Your personal Appearance
will have a lot to do with your success with the ladies. Get a decent conservative haircut before you leave. Filipina's prefer clean cut, clean shaven gentlemen to hippies, punks, or Mr. Natural types. Non smokers are also preferred. Losing a few pounds of flab before you take off won't hurt your prospects either.
 
 
Cost
Believe it or not, you can get free sex, even with bar girls, in the Philippines. However, it is recommended, because of the high level of poverty among the girls, you always pay a tip of at least 200 pesos $4 for a quick session of passion and romance and 300 pesos $6 if the girl spends the entire night. As for taking girls out of the bars, the price varies from city to city. In Manila, the most expensive, girls can cost up to $100 or more. Cebu bar girls cost 2,000 to 3,000 pesos $40 to $60 for all night sex. Angeles and Subic rates are very low, 1,000 pesos $20 for all night or 200 pesos $4 for a girl you might pick up on the street. 
 
 
Legal
Although prostitution is technically illegal, the police are corrupt and bar owners pay off the cops to turn the other way. Tourists are rarely arrested for having sex with a prostitute unless their is complaint i.e., rape, seduction, loss of virginity, etc.. Although the age of consent is 16, it is advised you stay clear of women in the bars under 18 years of age. 
The age of consent is 18 years old.
 
 

Weather
Peak season Christmas through New Years you'll see more tourists. But even then, the girls way outnumber the guys. Weather wise, December, January, and February are the best times to come as that is the cool season. June to September is when the rains hit hard. Actually, a great time as there are no tourists and you'll have all the girls to yourself. Manila is not exactly the place to spend your entire stay in the Philippines. Manila is good for about a couple of nights and enjoy some the nightlife it offers. Being that there is so much pollution, traffic and crime, not necessarily in that order, you will want to limit your days and nights chasing pussy there. We suggest you stay there overnight if your plane arrives late at night, like 10-11pm.

 
 

Holidays
There is only one weekend, namely Easter weekend, in which the bars close. Even on Christmas and New Year's, most bars stay open. Holidays in the Philippines can be very exciting and interesting.  For example, on New Years Eve, you will have fireworks going off for about 24 hours all over the country. You don't want to be in Manila for this loud and festive occasion unless you like hearing bombs go off every minute and enjoy having firecrackers, cherry bombs and M-80's thrown at you while you walk down the street. For a Vietnam Vet, maybe but not me. Then there's Easter where in some of the provinces they nail people to a wooden cross with real nails through their real hands. Not to mention the people marching through town and whipping themselves until they bleed. I hope Christmas is a little nicer, yet I heard they eat the reindeer after it's all over.

 
 

Events
Offices and banks are closed on public holidays, although shops and department stores stay open. All major Christian festivals are celebrated, as well as Independence Day (12 June), Bonifacio Day (National Heroes Day, 30 November) and Rizal Day (30 December). On Good Friday the entire country virtually closes down. Even public transport and the national airlines stop running. There are many crucifixion ceremonies throughout the country on this day, which have become popular attractions, especially those at San Fernando and Antipolo, near Manila

 
 

Prices

 
 

How to

 
 
What to Bring
Clothing
in Manila will be the same as Angeles City or anywhere else in the Philippines. You may want to dress a little nicer though when visiting clubs i this city. No sandals or tank tops. Remember, you're in the city now, but then again, you're in MANILA. It's going to be hotter than hell so comfort is your first concern. Nice jeans, clean tennis shoes or dress shoes. Shorts are o.k. during the day but the girls like to see men dress nice when they visit them in the clubs. When visiting the SM Mega Mall, where thousands of single young women are, you may want to dress decent there as well.  

Tip
Never wear tennis shoes without socks as you will get the worse case of athlete's feet you've ever experienced. During the heat of the day, you will see the Filipina girls walking around with umbrellas to ward off the scorching sun. 


110V and 220V. Watch out! Because in the very same hotel room you stay in, on the very same side of the wall, can be two sockets, one is 110V and the other 220V. Go to an electronic store and buy a voltage tester, there a couple of dollars.
 
 
Passports and Visas
To obtain a visa in Manila, take a taxi to the Swagman hotel in Ermita and at the hotel, upstairs they have their travel agency that will process your visa. As stated above, you will need to leave your passport with them, so be aware you will have no passport until the visa is processed. The price is about $20 depending on the exchange rate at the time for a one month stay; slightly higher for a two month stay.
If you wish to reside in the Philippines for more than two months, you can obtain further visa extensions at the Swagman, ad infinitum. However, be aware after six months of stay, there will be taxes you have to pay at the airport in Manila when you finally depart the country. 

Warning

Do not overstay your welcome in the Philippines. There are harsh penalties if you stay beyond the date stamped in your passport. I overstayed my welcome in the Philippines by only one day and they charged me 900 pesos penalty about $25. I don't want to know what it would have cost if I stayed much longer. Leave the country before your visa expires or renew it. Immigration does not take kindly to those to stay after their visa has expired. No, they won't arrest you, but they will ream you for every dime they can get out of you.
 
 

Customs
When you disembark from the plane, walk quickly down the long corridor. The reason for this is that there will be a line that you will have to wait on to show your passport to an immigration officer. The quicker you get on line, the quicker you will be able go through customs and then enter the country.

Once you arrive at the airport in Manila, you'll need to go through immigration and customs. This is very easy to do. As you exit the plane, just follow the crowd and signs which point the way. If you have only carry on luggage, you'll be out of the airport in no time at all. However, if you have checked in luggage, which I suggest you avoid at all costs, prepare to wait up to two hours to claim your bags. Things move slow in the Philippines. In order to go through customs and immigration, you will need to present your passport and immigration/customs form. The immigration/customs form will be passed out on the plane. Be sure you are carrying a pen so you can fill it out on the plane before you land. It's all basic information. Unless you are importing goods into the country, you should check off the "Nothing to Declare" box.
Never bring any illegal drugs into the Philippines, including pot. The punishment for drug trafficking in the Philippines is the death penalty. Also, you should not bring in any pornography, as this is illegal. Once you get your luggage, assuming you have checked in bags, you will pass through customs. Look for the "Nothing to Declare" signs. Most likely you will not be searched. However, if you have a lot of bags, especially anything in boxes, good chance you will be searched. What are they looking for? Mostly electrical appliances that you can sell, such as computers, TV's, stereos, etc. If you have a lap top, camera or video camera, you will have no problem. After customs you will be allowed to enter the the lobby of the airport where you will first exchange some of your dollars into Peso. (see money exchange) 

 
 
Payment Methods
Money Exchange
After going through immigration and customs when you first arrive in Manila, you will have your first chance to exchange your money
. Never exchange your money in the U.S. You will get the worst exchange rate.
I suggest you walk over to the money exchange booth inside the airport terminal and change at least $100. Once you get to your hotel, you will be able to exchange more money at local exchange booths around town. Many of them are Mabini St., in Ermita and Malate. Be careful when you exchange your money in these booths as some have been known to be rip off places. Hotels give the worst rate however they are the safest to go to. Banks are another option and will give good rates.

Travelers Checks

Does not get the higher exchange rate as it does in Thailand. Travelers checks can be changed in Manila in most banks or with money changers. The rate for travelers checks is 5% to 10% lower than the rate for cash. Purchase receipts for the travelers checks as well as a passport are required for cashing. The checks are only accepted if signed at the counter of the bank or money changer. In the provinces, it can sometimes be difficult to change travelers checks. Many banking companies which accept travelers checks in Manila do not so in their provincial branches. In the provinces, the best place to change is a local Philippine National Bank or a Central Bank in larger cities. Cash advances in dollars can be obtained with an American Express Card at American Express, and with a Visa Card at Bank of America. Cash advances in pesos can be obtained.

Credit Cards are accepted in most big hotels, shops and restaurants. The smallest little shops do not, and neither do the girls. They also charge... 3% for MC and Visa, 5% for AMEX. VISA is the best. Leave your AMEX at home. The smartest card to bring is your ATM!! It is the best exchange rate as well. Also, you may want to call your bank that holds your credit card account and let them know that you will be out of the country and which country. Sometimes credit card companies will deny you access to your card, thinking that your card was stolen and someone else is using your card in that country. It happened to me in Rio De Janeiro. If you take enough cash with you, you will not really ever have to use it. Personally, I use it for all of my hotel stays and some meals.
 
 
How Much
will be needed will depend on you personally and your budget of course. Figure for each night in Cebu, staying at  budget or medium range hotel, food, girl, drinks, transportation, etc. you will need about $100-$150. 
 
 

Tipping
5-10 per cent of the bill should be ok.

 
 
Airport to Lodging
The best way to get to your hotel is to take the authorized airport taxi located inside the airport terminal, right before you exit the street. The taxi booths look similar to car rental booths you would find in most major airports. This by far is the best and only way to get to your hotel in Manila, safely and quickly. We don't advice you travel by any other means. The price should not be more than P100 to get to most hotels in Manila.  If you're really on a budget, try going up to the second floor of the airport where the departing gates are and grab a taxi up stairs. These taxis have just dropped off their fares and would be glad to take a fare back to where they came from for less money than the ones downstairs. The savings will only be a few dollars but nevertheless, a savings.

Airport Pick Up
can be made by notifying your hotel by fax, phone or email to pick you up at Manila Airport when you arrive in Manila. Some or most hotels will offer this service for no extra charge if you make an overnight reservation with them. (see hotel info for suggestions of these hotels) 
 
 
Transportation
Taxi
The best way to get around in Manila if you don't know where you're going is the meter taxis. Do not get a taxi right outside any hotel. It will cost you double. Just walk out and away from the entrance of your hotel to another street and grab a taxi as it is going by. These taxis will be much cheaper. make sure the driver is going to use the meter before you get in. When you get in, make sure he turns the meter on. If he doesn't turn the meter on, tell him to do so. If he still doesn't turn it on, get out of the taxi and get another one. 
Jeepneys are another way to get around in Manila. For about a few cents you can get around Manila all day. However, the Jeepneys are usually very crowded, hot and humid since it is an open-air transportation method. Plus, if you don't know which one s to take you can easily get lost. The best time to try the Jeepney is with your girlfriend, she'll know which Jeepneys to take, unless he's not from Manila. 

Train
The LRT Train is another way to get across town quickly, cheaply and comfortably. You will in most instances have to take a taxi to get to the train. Ask for a train schedule at the front desk of your hotel.

Buses
are comfortable and cheap and a good transportation source only if you are traveling out of Manila to places like Angeles City, Olongapo, Baguio, etc. You have the Victory Liner Bus Station located in Pasay. You can take a taxi there and hop on an air-conditioned bus and travel for hours for a few dollars. Olongapo is about a three hour bus ride, Baguio is about an 8 hour bus ride and Angeles is about a2 hour bus ride, all depending on traffic.

Hotels

$35 to $60 range and close to the action. 

Swagman in Ermita
is an Australian owned hotel and has a chain in both Manila, Angeles and Baguio.  The rooms at vary in price depending on whether you get the standard or deluxe rooms. A standard will cost you about between $30-40, depending on the time of year. Always ask for a discount rate, they'll give it to you if you ask. The rooms are nothing great, especially the ones from the 2nd floor up. Ask for the ground floor rooms. The rooms are newer, quieter, (no windows because their below street level) with new TV's , cable, good showers and a refrigerator stocked with snacks and drinks. They have a restaurant that features American, Filipino, Thai and Australian cuisine. The food is very good, especially their meat dishes and has a fully stocked bar. All girl staff who are friendly and sweet. The location is good as it is close to the Edsa Entertainment Complex and the clubs in Makati. Lots of hookers walking the streets around the immediate area of the hotel. The U.S. Embassy is right across the street if you're planning on bringing your Fiancée back to the U.S.

Century Citadel Inn Makati
If the "infamous" bar scene of Manila is your thing, and you need excellent value accommodation then this hotel must be it ! Located right on top of Burgos Street, with the bars stretching off to the right as soon as you leave the entrance. As a condotel you get a little more room and comfort than in regular hotel rooms but do not pay the price that goes with it. Being in the heart of Makati, all the major business, shopping and entertainment is in very close proximity.

More Manila Hotels

Like most hotels around the world, a lot of them frown on bringing guests to the room, especially if they're hookers. The more expensive the hotel, the less chance you will be able to bring your "squeeze" up to the room without being asked to pay a surcharge. That is why we suggest staying at the medium range hotels mentioned on our recommended hotel list.

 
 
Dining
Any major mall, such as the Robinson's in Ermita will have a wide selection of restaurants and fast food stalls to eat in. The Robinson's in Ermita actually has a fairly large selection of restaurants including Mexican, Italian, Thai, Filipino, American steak house, etc. Even a good ole McDonald's is there too. The food is okay, nothing much to brag about.

SM Mega Mall
has lots of fast food restaurants all throughout the building. A great place to meet lots of local Filipina's.

The most popular restaurant in the Philippines is the food chain Max's Restaurant
. Noted for their chicken, fried to a delicious crisp without coloring, flavoring or coverings. A secret Filipino family recipe handed down through generations since 1945. You will find Max's at the third floor of the Robinson's in Ermita. Start off with their delicious green mango shake. Then I suggest you enjoy one of their dinner specials, which includes along with a quarter of a chicken a variety of Filipino dishes. Explore.

Chinese Dim Sum Tea Houses
You'll find some right around the corner from the Swagman Hotel. Ask the desk clerk for directions.
 
 
Water
Never drink the water from the tap or from a pitcher in a restaurant. Always order bottled water. Brush your teeth and use bottled water to riinse your mouth.
 
 
Language
The Language spoken in The Philippines is Tagalog Filipino The English language is taught in the Philippines from the first grade on. Of course, if the girl is from a poor family, which most are, schooling will be limited as well as their English vocabulary. Most of the girls speak passable English.  Most of the people that work in the hotels and restaurants speak a great deal of English. There are more funny and interesting stories regarding the language barrier and what you'll encounter while you're over there in the Panties Down Before Money Down Philippine Guide book in the book section of this site. All in all the language of love is spoken everywhere.
 
 
Security

Manila is a dangerous place to visit,
Robbery  
Appear poor you won't get robbed if you have nothing to steal. Or to put it more succinctly, your chances of getting robbed are greatly reduced if your potential assailant thinks you have nothing to steal. If you are wearing a gold chain or bracelet, you will become his next target. Anything that looks of value, fake or not, will catch a robbers eyes. Avoid walking the streets drunk, especially at night. A few of the sleazy bar girls will target drunken tourists. There's nobody easier to rob than a guy who has invited you into his hotel room and shortly after is passed out on the bed. Even during the daytime you can get robbed, sometimes in a very unexpected manner. One ploy is for a Filipino to spot you on the street and then make like he knows you. If you ever get approached by a overly friendly Filipino on the streets, ignore the guy completely. His trick is to come up to you, get you to shake his hand and then say "Hey! Remember me!" From there, he will make friendly conversation, eventually inviting you to go with him. If you do, you're an idiot. My advice to such a character is don't say hello, don't shake his hand, don't respond at all. When he approaches you, just keep walking, acting as though you don't even see him. He'll get the point and move on to his next victim. Jeepney are where pick pocketers abound. If you ride in a meter taxi, obviously you will avoid this problem. But if you ride in a Jeepney, you must be aware of pickpocketers. They are masters and if you are carrying anything worth stealing, they will get it.

Safe Deposit Boxes
are the safest place to keep your valuables.  Although on occasion, armed robbers have broken into the safety boxes. Most hotels offer one and they are usually behind the front desk. The boxes are usually big enough to put your wallet, passport, jewelry, and possibly a small camera, film, pictures, videotapes. They are accessible 24 hours a day normally in the bigger hotels.
 
 
Scams
One of the scams I know about in Manila very well is because it happened to me. I was on Mabini St., near some Chinese Dim Sum restaurants and I needed to exchange my dollars into Pesos. I first entered the Dim Sum place to order my food and then went across the street to get my Pesos. It was an enclosed booth with a glass door and after you enter, you face a desk with a window. The person behind the desk asks me how much I want to exchange. I tell them $200 worth. A man then leaves the booth and shortly after comes back with an older Filipina woman in late forties. She goes behind the window and asks for the $200. I give it to her and she then starts to count out the pesos in one hundred Peso bills. The amount of Peso should have been P8,000. She made piles of ten-one hundred Peso bills and criss-crossed them in front of me, making 8 piles, and she counted out loud as she placed each pile down. I picked up the pile of Peso, which I thought was very odd anyway. Normally, exchange booths will give you at least P6,000 in one thousand Peso bills and the rest in change. I left the booth and sat down in the restaurant with my wife. The waitress came over to me and told me to count my money. Apparently she saw me leave the booth across the street thru the window of the restaurant and knew the booth was crooked. I took out my money and counted P4,000, having been short P4,000. I went back and got my money from the booth after threatening them of calling the Police.
 
 
Medical
Safe Sex in the Philippines should be practiced at all times, and anywhere else you travel in the world. Condoms should be worn at all times, even when you're sleeping. I'm wearing one now as I type this report. But seriously, you should buy your condoms in the U.S.A. before you go to the Philippines. The ones made in Asia are made to fit Asian men and you know what that means. Also, figure on using at least two a day. Unfortunately condoms are not requested by all of the girls in the Philippines due to lack of education. Be safe and considerate to others and use protection.
 
 
Internet
There are internet cafes all over town. There is one in the Swagman Hotel, upstairs in there email and business office. They are located in Mabini, across the street from the US embassy.
 
 
Phones
International country code: [63]
Selected city codes: Angeles, Pampanga (Evantelco) (455), Davao (82), Manila (2), San Pablo, Laguna (448), Subic Bay Usn Base (47)

Dialing Philippines from Overseas
To dial the Philippines from overseas, dial 011, then 63 (the country code for the Philippines), then the city code, and finally the number. If you were dialing Manila, for example, you would begin with 011, then 63, then 2 (the city code for Manila), and finally the number of the person or office you are trying to reach.

Assistance Numbers

Tourist Assistance (2) 501-660, 501-728
Directory assistance 114
Direct dialing assistance 112
Operator-assisted domestic calls 109
Operator-assisted international 108

Local Calls

Calling locally may be more difficult than placing an international call, if that is conceivable. Expect bad connections, busy signals or disconnections if you are fortunate enough to have found a phone that works at all. A local call from a hotel will cost about P14.

Long Distance Calls
Calling long distance within the Philippines may prove no different than a local call in terms of connections and wait times. To make a long distance call, dial 0 + area code + number; you'll feel like you've won the lottery if connected successfully.

International Calls
To make a direct call overseas, dial 00 + country code + area code + number. Keep in mind that operator-assisted calls may run 30 percent more than dialing direct. The Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT) office also provides international access if you prefer not to dial from the hotel, which most likely will implement the usual outrageous surcharge. If possible, try connecting directly to an overseas operator for calling card, collect, or credit card calls. If dialing from a public phone, you will have to insert a coin or card first.

MCI 105-14
Sprint 105-16
U.K. Direct 105-44

Public Telephones
Local calls cost 75 centavos on a red public phone and are unlimited, but don't expect great service. In fact, don't even expect good service. If you're lucky, your message will barely get through. The newer silver phones will cost P2 for a local call. Most pay phones on the streets are not operational, but hotels and post offices also have pay phones that usually work. Most use coins as calling cards are just beginning their introductory period in the country.


Calling Cards
PLDT phone c
ards (Fonkards) may be purchased for the card phones available.

Fax machines

Widespread, but the poor telephone system can delay some faxes. Most hotels have fax services, although the charge can be expensive. A one page fax to Europe costs P350 (US$14).
 
 
Sex
in Manila is pretty decent. Our favorite place is the EDSA International Entertainment Complex. This is a cluster of four bars jam packed with many really cute women who will fuck and suck your dick raw. All the women in these bars are prostitutes and are working there as such. There are truly some beautiful girls at the EDSA. Between the Firehouse, Pitstop, My Fair and Casino bar, you should be able to find what you are looking for. Each bar employs a good 50 girls or more dancers and waitresses. The set up is different from Angeles City bars. At the EDSA you must pay both the bar fine and heavily tip the girl. In other words, it's similar in price to what you will find in Bangkok. The bar fine is around $10 and most of the girls will want at least 1,000 pesos $25 tip for short time and double the price for all night. It's not cheap, but it is a worth a visit.

EDSA Complex
you will see a cluster of girls dancing in bikinis or one piece swimsuits. All the dancers are prostitutes and will be interested in going with you to your hotel to fuck. When you see a girl you like, notify the waitress and invite the girl to sit down with you for a ladies drink. Or you can signal the girl directly to come over to sit with you. Just smile and wave her over. If she refuses, she probably has another customer that she already made a commitment with. In that case, just pick another girl.
Once you've invited a girl to sit with you for a drink, flirt with her. Eventually you will either pass on her or invite her to come back with you to your hotel. If she agrees and asks you "How much are you going to pay me?", you are dealing with a pro and you should discuss what type of services you will be getting for your hard earned money. In other words, if she asks you how much you're going to tip her, she's not assuming you will be generous and pay her well. So, in that case, neither should you assume she will be a good fuck and suck you well. Therefore, politely but firmly discuss exactly, in no uncertain terms what type of sex she will give you and for how long. Remember, many of the girls will not spend the entire night or if they do, it will cost more and many will not give you a blow job. So be sure you find out exactly how long she will be staying with you and what she will or will not do.
After you choose your girl or should I say she's chosen you!, you can pay the bar fine and from there go directly to your hotel to screw. Across the street from the EDSA International Entertainment Complex you will find a few short time hotels, including the Royal Blue Marlin, as mentioned above. So for convenience, I recommend you stay there as it's just a moments walk away from the EDSA just cross the street and you're there.


Transvestites
Every so often you will run into a billy-boy, meaning a man who dresses up as a women. They are not as common in Cebu as in Angeles City, but in case you do find some, here is a few hints on how to recognize them.
True Filipina women are typically very short, around five feet or under. The transvestites, being men, are much taller, five foot six and up. So if what appears to be a woman approaches you and you notice that she is nearly as tall as you, watch out! Oddly enough, the transvestites, as tall as they are, persist in wearing high heels. I understand they want to dress as women, but being men they are already tall enough; wearing high heels makes them even taller and therefore more obvious. I would have thought they would wear shoes a little flatter to disguise their height, but they don't. For that reason, it's usually pretty easy to spot them a mile away. In short, any woman who is unusually tall 5 and a half feet or taller, beware of. Transvestites, being men, cannot imitate the softness and high pitched sound of a woman's voice that's because they are men. So the transvestite will try to disguise his voice by either speaking with a whisper, a very soft tone, or a falsetto i.e., a fake high pitched sound. So if you hear someone whisper or say in a high pitched voice, Hello. Where you go? you know what you are dealing with. Since most of them cannot 'afford to have the operation where they surgically remove the penis and carve it into a vagina, the transvestites will desire only oral sex, rather than intercourse. So if the emphasis of the conversation is, I give you good blow job, that is your red alert. However, being that most of them hang on blow road, there is not much of a distinction between them and the girls, as the girls are also aggressively pushing their line of work I give you good blow job. Transvestites are usually quite ugly up close. After all, they are men and a man's face, no matter how much make-up you put on it, will still take on a masculine appearance although some of the transvestites amazingly look feminine. To hide this, it's not unusual for the transvestites to hang out where the lighting is low. Transvestites have masculine hands. They are aggressive and if you let them, will come right up to you and touch you. If you touch their hand, it will be unusually large; Filipina girls typically have very small hands, much like that of a twelve year old girl in the states. So if a woman holds your hand and it's thick like that of a man, bewar

Bar Fines
So what happens when you enter a bar and meet a bar girl you really like and want to spend the night with? How do you get her to leave the bar and go with you? To get a bar girl to go back with you to your hotel, you must first pay what is called the bar fine. The bar fine is kind of like renting a car for the day. You choose the car you like, you pay, and then you drive off with the car. Except in this case, you are not renting a car, but a bar girl!

Prices
MAKATI - P3000 BAR FINE - P2500 to P3500 TIP
PASAY - P1000 BAR FINE - P1500 to P2000 TIP
ANGELES - P1000 BAR FINE - NO TIPS
CEBU - 750 to 1000 Bar Fines - P1500 to P2000 TIP

Now understand this simple rule The girls are not allowed to leave the bar and go with a customer unless he first pays the bar fine. Once he does pay, the girl will immediately change into her street clothes and she is free to go with you to spend the night in your hotel. Most girls who spend the night will let you screw them. So how much will that cost you?

The going rate for the bar fine in most of the bars of Angeles, as of December 1999, is 1,000 pesos $25. Once you pay the bar fine, you need not tip the girl. The bar fine is the full price you pay to take a girl home with you for the night. Tipping is optional, not mandatory. If you wish to tip a girl who spends the night, 100 pesos is a nice tip.

So exactly how does this bar fine work? Let's say you walk into a bar, such as La Bamba, and you take a seat right center stage where you are just inches away from the dancing girls. Let's say you see a dancer you really like. You notice that she keeps smiling at you and she reaches over from the stage where she is dancing and gets close enough to shake your hand and introduce herself. Wow! These girls really are friendly, so you say to yourself. The same girl then asks you what your name is, where you are from and keeps smiling and giggling. Next thing you know, one of the waitresses comes over to you and cuddles next to you. She points her finger to all the girls on stage and asks you, Which girl do you like? Without hesitation, you point to the dancer you just met. You then tell the waitress, I want to pay her bar fine. The waitress will then consult with the dancer, who will probably be in shock since most guys first flirt with the girl over a ladies drink before paying the bar fine. However, in this case we'll just say you are in a hurry. If the girl does agree to go bar fine, what will happen next is the waitress will either herself extend her hand to take the 1,000 pesos for the bar fine or whatever the rate is in that bar or she will call over the Mamasan i.e., bar manager who will come over to you and take the money. Once the bar fine is paid, the girl will immediately go to the back room to change into her street clothes. It may take up to ten minutes or so, as some girls may go to the toilet, put on more make-up, and god knows what the hell else they are doing back there probably praying you don't have too big a dick!. When the girl comes out, she will come up to you and stand by your side. She's ready to go. You then can take her back to your hotel and enjoy a night of passion and romance.

Bars
Makati
Going rate for short time can run 5,000 on P. Burgos St.

Bar Bandido
It's a larger bar with an excellent sound system and good music. The main attraction in any go-go bar, of course, is the dancers.  There is a large number of dancers in attractive uniforms. Some of the girls are above average. 

Bottoms
5012 P. Burgos St. Tel 897-2053. Another Makati bar which seems to run about 60 to 70 girls. There are normally some quite attractive but hard-core girls in here. If visiting check your bill closely and make sure you sign for everything.

Cuddles Fire and Rain
P. Burgos St. cor. Kalayaan. 

Dimple
5014 P. Burgos St. Tel 895-8843. Dimples is an older, small, dark bar and the emphasis is placed on Ladies Drinks. The best time to go there is during the day time when the girls are very friendly and accommodating. Having said that a warning must be given. When you are in a dark corner with one or two lovelies watch your bill very carefully. Do not pay for anything that does not have your signature. You can have a good time in here but it's going to cost you. Opens at noon. Happy hour 5 - 7 PM. Closes at 4 AM. 

Foxy's
Corner of Kalayaan Avenue and Dona Carmen Street in the heart of Makati City. Probably the largest bar in Makati, big stage, two levels - open with a sushi bar on the second level. Lots of nice girls. Same owner as Go Go Banana's. Both are good stops in Makati. Prices in Makati are higher than Pasay -- but the quality of the ladies is normally quite good. LDs run 225 to 275p or so. This is a big club which seems to run about 80 girls. They are heavily into the synchronized dance routines and the girls whilst friendly are not to pushy for ladies drinks.

Go Go Bananas formerly Ritzy's
5030 P. Burgos St. cor. Kalayaan. Tel 895-0883. Across the road from Foxy's, Go Go Bananas is a big club which runs about 50 girls. This can be quite patchy and the quality of girls and number of girls differs from night to night. If you go there make sure you ask the girls about the prayer room. OK the girls are not the best looking but they are extremely talented.

Ivory
P. Burgos St. cor. Kalayaan

Jools
5043 P. Burgos St. Tel 897-9098. Opens 800 PM. The place is getting a bit rundown. 

Jungle Room
P. Burgos St. 

Mogambo
Small bar packed full of girls. It a go-go bar and the girls are in uniforms.  Only an average lineup. 

Papillon
P. Burgos St. Some of the most attractive dancers in town.

Rascals

P. Burgos St.

Rogues

P. Burgos St at Makati Ave. 

Wild West
formerly Geronimo
788 Makati Ave. cor. P. Burgos St. Wild West with all bias intended is certainly worth a visit. As are Mogambo and Bandido bars. Wild West runs about 50 girls as does Mogambo. Bandido runs about 80 girls. 

Pasay City
Going rates are 900 for the bar and 2000 for her

EDSA International Entertainment Complex
corner of EDSA Extension and Roxas Boulevard. Inside are 6 girlie bars. It seems to go in cycles and in terms of girls different bars are hot on different nights. Opens at 600 PM. Names of bars inside the complex are listed below.

Casino
EDSA International Entertainment Complex. About the same size as Pit Stop. It is the most intimate. You're closer to the girls and have the easiest time 'contacting' them if it is hard anyway.  

Chaos
Sometimes there are about 200 to 250 girls, 80 of which are dancers. I say sometimes because Chaos is one of these bars that is very patchy in terms of girls. Sometimes you can go in there and be surrounded by a plethora of stunning women, other times it seems like the city kennels. You just have to strike it lucky on the night. The best time to hit it is about 10.30PM.

Cotton Club
formerly Australian Club Located in the EDSA International Entertainment Complex. Tel 831-6468. The largest bar in the Complex, it is well laid out and has an variety of themes. It also has the largest number of dancers.100+ girls

Fates
About 100 yards up the road from Visions is Fates. This was an old Karaoke bar taken over by two of the people from Vixens. There are normally about 50 girls working there and they have specials like 12 peso beers etc etc. There seems to be a nucleus of about 10 really good looking girls in this bar but from all reports they do not seem interested in going out with customers. A number of guys have purchased ladies drinks only to find out that the girl is not interested in pursuing the matter further they also has V.I.P rooms but negotiate the price carefully before going in.

Firehouse
EDSA International Entertainment Complex. A Manila institution. It's been around for decades. When Ermita was closed, it first moved to a compound next to the Holiday Inn now Traders Hotel and then to its current location in the EDSA complex. It's a large bar with a 2 tier stage and customer dance area. The music system is one of the best in town. They usually have between 50 and 70 dancers and lots of GROs. Like all the bars in Manila, the age is slightly higher than in Angeles City or Bangkok, but there are some absolute stunners. The manager has been around forever and one of the top bar men in town. A main objection to this bar is that the stage is too far from the seating. Ditto Pit Stop.

My Fair Club
EDSA International Entertainment Complex. A totally unique design, this is the second largest bar in the Complex. There are 2 dance floors connected by a walk over bridge. Girls are on all 3 areas. There is seating around the dance areas and the rest is perimeter seating. The fewest girls of any of the bars.

Pit Stop
EDSA International Entertainment Complex. The smallest bar in the complex, the quality of the staff varies from time to time, but when it is hot, it is really hot. There are 12 seats at the stage, but the rest are pretty far away for a great look. Some beautiful girls for such a small club. More intimate atmosphere than Cotton Club.

Visions
Service road same as Chaos but on the other side of Buendia now called Gil Puyat. Unfortunately this is not a patch on the old Visions number 1 in Ermita and number 2 in the food and Karaoke complex. However there are about 50 girls here and sometimes you can find a diamond in the rough so to speak. 


Drive in Hotels
A very interesting hotel you might consider is the "Drive In" hotels in Pasay. The term "drive in" is equal with short time, meaning you rent out a room at a low price for only three hours. You can rent the room for longer, even all night for a little more money.
They are cheaper than most hotels in Manila. Also, if you just need a place to stay for a few hours because you're waiting for a connecting flight or just waiting for your plane to depart back home, it's a good alternative to checking into a major hotel. There are no safety boxes to secure your money and the rooms do not lock from the outside. So, this is going to be a problem if you are carrying valuables as you will either have to carry it around Manila with you (which is not recommended) or leave it in the hotel room (which is also not recommended!). So you are stuck with no secure place to leave your valuables. What I did is leave my camera/camcorder in my room and took my money with me. I have a lock on my suitcase and a bicycle lock which I use to tie my suitcase to a chair or other type of furniture. That worked, but I would have felt a bit more comfortable if the stupid hotel would put locks on the outside and safety boxes to secure one's valuables. I guess since so few customers are coming there to spend the night, they don't feel the need.

Royal Blue Marlin
Pasay City and has decent rooms. Actually, the deluxe rooms are quite nice.
Across from the Pasay Entertainment complex.

Victory Drive In

Pasay One of the unique things about this hotel is one of the rooms actually has a car, a beautiful red Chevy, with the bed installed right where the front and back seats used to be. Also, the shower is inside the room next to the bed, not in the bathroom. So there will be no hiding when your girl wants to take her shower. She must do so right in front of your eyes. Nice. This room will certainly supply you with those special "Kodak moments" that you will want to share with the rest of your family when you arrive back home. That is to say if your family is the Mafia.

 
 
Photography
Some of the girls like it and some don't. It is highly recommended that you don't try to take hidden video of the girls while having sex with them. It pisses them off to no end. It may result in her having the police summoned to the room. The ones that agree will usually ask for more money on top of the original amount agreed for having sex with them. Some won't care and will do it because they like you. As long as you have copies of their i.d's showing that they are eighteen you will be fine taking them back into the U.S. 
 
 
Recreation
The Robinson's mall is a great place to walk around and check out all the school girls walking around during lunch time. The SM mall is also a palce with thousands of girls walking around, either working there or just girls walking around bored out of their minds.
