Apart from that, great tips and updated on pricing etc.
On a separate note, the first time I experienced the night scene in Manila was at the infamous Mabini area back in 1988. I was staying at Bayview Hotel (opp the US Embassy). Back in those days, without Google maps, I flagged a taxi to take me to Mabini. The taxi driver took me for a long ride along the whole Manila Bay before dropping me off. The next morning, when it was bright ... i took a walk around my area, and to my disgust and feeling like a fool (ok, mixed feelings of joy too), Mabini was just round the corner of my hotel.
Is air force one the most value of money? It is far from makati from where I am.
But the services sounds really good.
It was good in my opinion, as I was staying in Alabang it seemed to be the most convenient also I am not familiar with Makati. And being my first time I was looking for the easiest option. The only place I’ve been in the Philippines was Angeles City, and that was for a bachelor’s party which was awesome!!! Some how my friends prefer that to Bangkok...

Guys are so lucky with the internet today.
Had that shit happen to me when I took a taxi from Rivera mansion Malate to LA Cafe Luckily I had a printed map and was wondering what it was .. and driver said too many one way ... I told him - I will give you 300 peso above meter if you get me there NOW, or I will give you no tip !! yes, it was one of those taxis who did run meter instead of arguing.
And 10 minutes i was there, instead of his estimated one hour !!! And I was taking taxi instead of walking as i was scared of streets full of street kids and robberies in malate those days.
And of course, LA Cafe ? memorable, as once they had a brown out and they locked all the doors, as no customer had paid ! Despite offers to pay a rounded UP amount, this is the time Filipinos decide to be honest - and insist they wont take more than the bill ! And make it worse ? Pre-smart phone days, almost every other smoker was holding up his lighter up - to get some light - and my brain was calculating the odds of breaking the steel window grills in the second floor. Especially since this was not too long after the Ozone Club fire !!!
Internet ? Lots of resource now to avoid online and other scams, unlike those days when I was held ransom by taxi, and drama with bakla and all !!
PS, this is the 1 hour estimated travel !! :P

Agreed, if you are short of time, better to head there as less need to troll for fish
PS, another repeat tip for those who take taxis, try to stop taxis which aren't plain white. Those multi colored are company taxis and rarely argue, vs, the pure white ones. Pure white ones are owner taxis, and they want to make money. Colored ones are company and they have some basic salary ... PLUS RICE allowance (yes, Rice allowance is common in PH)

Brown Out and Close immediately close the doors, yeah bro.. thanks for bringing back those yesteryears memories! I am sure you had your fair share of memorable experiences, and end of the day, IMHO, most Filipinos are fun people to hang out with. I missed the local Chinitas (Fair skinned Chinese looking), but so hard to find in the places I used to patronize, in particular at EDSA Entertainment Complex.

Question, explain your idea of fun ? KTV, bar fine, or massage etc ? BTW, if there is no traffic, manila is like 30 minutes from one end to another. A bit of traffic, that's 3 hours of travel !! Or more. From Novaliches to Ermita - 4 fucking hours, daily travel, each way, for somebody I know ...

Talking about them being married, in the early days when I was starting out, being young and naive in the game, whenever I casually asked if they are married, their reply would be 'Oh, he passed away..died in an accident'. And I will always give them a sympathetic look and a warm hug. Each one was the same, all their boyfriends or husbands got killed in a motorbike, jeepney accident! What a fool I was to be taken in
Nowadays, I will still ask them the same question, but before they can reply, I will say 'Died in an accident?" and they will just laugh and laugh

Honestly, I didn't know the adultery law is serious shit. At least 3 ang moh in prison for screwing married women, while the women are out, and legal husband demanding money to drop the case. And apparently, the husband can demand maintenance for the kids too !!!
Fucked up country, considering I was screwing a reasonably loaded pinay in Singapore, and she paid for all for me to travel to Palawan, PG and everywhere, sex non stop, even when she was on periods. And even when we went to her home town in Luzon, and her brother came to meet us, and still she sent him off to screw me (hope it wasnt the husband) .. never asked me any money !!!
And then she just said she want to break and told she is going to USA.
And years later she posted on a christian page that she left her husband a few years ago, and the time line matches the time she was screwing my brains off ..
Thank God I wasn't caught for adultery !!!
Nowadays if a woman says she is seperated in Ph, and wants to meet me in Ph, I will think twice, or thrice

If you have a car, then any place should do. I personally prefer to be in Great Eastern as they have good in room service meals, walking distance to Makati P burgos And close to my mummy supplier I prefer some place that has food as some times it sucks to go looking for decent food.
Make sure your friend has Waze and Data in his phone.

I wasn't aware that it is a crime too; anyway I wasn't in any situation with a married woman as most of my companions are bar fined .
Hi guys. Will be heading to manila for the first time. Staying at okada casino. Really unfamiliar to manila. Where is near and good to chiong? Looking at partying and picking up girls back. Either short time or overnight cheers!!
