My visa is good until dec 10

You can extend tourist visas here indefinitely though. Just fill a form and pay the fee.

Have not decided yet whether to leave or extend.

Curious, what food did you guys eat or particularly like in Manila? What's your opinion on the cuisine?

I'm currently studying filipino cuisine. I have some of the staple dishes down as well as grilled steet foods, and a pork menudo (with pork liver) that is becoming legenday with the pinays here. Kare Kare is ok but the peanut butter sauce may be an acquired taste to some westerners. Can't speak for lechon baboy but being from N.C. I am well versed in the art of cooking a whole pig.

I'm planning a trip to Cebu in June. The Mactan airport has flights to S. Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Davao, and Singapore. It'll be for a month with a side trip to Tokyo/Sapporo. If I like the area I'll be moving there for 1-2 years while I conduct some business online. There's also some potential investment opportunities in real estate maybe worth checking out.

I've never stayed in hostels (yuck!)

The hostel I am staying in now has wifi, an infinity swimming pool and a gym.

It's located in the upper class area of manila (makati).

It costs $17 per night.

Care to post the name of that hostel here? And can you bang chicks inside of the dorm room? If not how have you been able to work out the logistics?

[Kona]

Did any of you guys that have been in Manila in the last couple of weeks happen to get down to Batangas?

I just got some spam email from Hawaiian airlines that says I can fly from HNL to NAIA this Monday for $199 and the return is the same next Saturday.

I don't want hang out in Manila but I think I'm gonna rent a car and go down to San Juan and fish/dive for a few days. I feel like taking a drive. That and Batangueno girls are my favorite Pinays. Plus, they put a lot more chili in the balut sauce down that way.

Anybody got any good car rental suggestions?

How about some traffic tips between NAIA and Batangas, besides don't get killed in Tanauan?

Mahalo in advance.

Aloha!

Melting pot.

They do have a private room here but its a small hostel and often it is unavailable at short notice so my solution so far has been to bang chicks in the bathroom.

Yeah I was there a few weeks ago. I spent a night there against my will (missed the last boat to puerto galera).

The place is a ghost town. There is not one single bar in the whole town (except hotel bars) and nothing to do.

Puerto galera also sucks donkey balls when it comes to nightlife.

I went to republiq here in manila last night. It was ok but the quality of women was very disappointing.

Do not stay at St. Illian's Inn in Makati...they position themselves as a business budget hotel in a good area of town. They are located in a piece of shit area of town in some run down ghetto alleyway. I regularly saw squirrel sized rats and roaches running around outside, although the hotel itself was clean. The hotel owner lady is a huge cunt and she gave me a huge attitude because I was hooking up with chicks while I was there. It was a huge fucking pain in the ass signing my chicks in and she would give me the cunt treatment (not the good kind).

Oh, and she cut off my web connection. I accessed youporn this one night to explain to this naive chick what "DP" is and the means with which three willing, or unwilling, participants go about performing this act.

She had to leave early the next morning to go to church.

Interesting I stayed there for a few days with a Filipina without any problems like that.

For a cheap hotel around the Makati area, the best I found was El Cielito. It's cheap, close to Greenbelt Mall, and no problems whatsoever bringing back girls there. The staff was also really friendly and helpful.

Most Asians dislike Blacks and wish to be WHITE. You'll see more filipinas with Black guys though (as opposed to Japanese, Korean, Chinese, etc. who almost NEVER go for Blacks) because filipinas are lower on the economic and social totem poles. Their features in general are also considered unattractive by many, and they are closer-looking to Blacks.

Just booked my tickets for Manila today!! After reading this thread it seems like an awesome place to go for cheap partying and get smashed, very keen girls and also the relaxation aspect of being able to chill out and read books on deserted beaches...

Busy trying to do the online game thing now to ensure some girls before I land but I'm having trouble signing up on dateinasia.com as my country isn't supported when it comes to the mobile phone activation side. Would anyone mind helping me out with this?

DIA in Philippines in stocked with ladybodys and P4P

I filtered through them and got a decent girl from there but I would say the amount of filtering you have to do makes it kind of not worth the effort

Yeah, I have to agree the amount of ladyboys on there is kind of suspect to where every chick I see on there who has decent height and is cute I tend to question the validity of their profile and sex nowadays. I've set up a few for my return but pulling chicks in the club was solid enough for me to get nightly lays.

[Craig88]

Ok sweet so you guys are saying its not really worth bothering with DIA? Just hit the clubs and pull...? I've had my best streak so far of 3 girls in 4 nights so hoping that turns out to be the norm in phili...

Guys,
My first visa run is due for the 28th of Dec and I'm very seriously considering going for 2-3 weeks to the UPI. Which city would you suggest as a good place to start? Manila? Cebu? Based on my research online, Cebu seems to be the place to go to base myself and then from there, it's easy to go to the gorgeous islands/beaches. Am I correct with this assumption?
Also which area would you recommend to stay in Cebu? Which area to avoid staying/going?
I've started browsing dateinasia.com and saw some cuties, got a lot of responses from there, so it looks like it's going to be a wild and fun ride.
Anyone from here in Cebu for New years?

Thanks guys.

[Boy]

I love south east Asia. Hope you have a blast. Ive never been to the Philippines though, but I really want to

I rented a private van to take me to Lipa City in Batangas, it's about 2 hours from Manila. It has an SM and Robinson mall for you to get girls from. There are some decent hotels in Lipa, I think one called Hotel Corona is right by one of the malls. There is also a transportation area by one of the malls, where you can either rent a private van, or for way cheaper ride with others on one. Or even cheaper you can take a Jeepney to San Juan. When I went to San Juan I rode in one of the vans, and on the way back I took a Jeepney, and honestly, while the Jeepney took longer I had more room and was not packed in like in the van (I'm 6 feet tall).
Batagangueno girls rock, they're pretty and even more struck by foreign men since they don't live in Manila. I know there was some nightlife places, but I never went to them, I was too busy screwing in my Suite at night. Meet girls in the mall, maybe take them to a local eatery (both eat for $2-3 US), then back to your place. Beware though guys, Filipinas fall in love fast and know how to keep a man satisfied.

Yeah I've done the malls in PI. I felt like I was shopping for a woman. Those are great places to get all kinds of hijacked and knocked off shit at low prices, though.

Philippines is sounding good... Is 3 weeks enough to hit manila, cebu, borocay and maybe some other worthwhile places?

Which spots do you like to go or would recommend for gaming high quality Pinay women who live the good life in The Philippines besides clubs like Republiq/Encore in Manila (no semi-pros or shoring)?

Personally I dig the scene at Republiq and spots like Encore because the women are of higher quality overall (educated, good jobs, etc, not green card seekers or hoes and have a little $) and I had a great time there and pulled easily chicks easily.

I wouldnt mind checking out some more mid-range clubs and nightlife on my next upcoming trip either that is more low key so anyone with information let er rip!

This is awesome! Something like this would NEVER happen in BORING, overly politically correct, FEMINAZI controlled North America. Gotta LOVE Asia!

Anyone in here experienced that very unique safety presentation prior to a flight in Asia or with CP?

Which is very good. Think about seeing your typical senior American flight attendant dancing like that? Thanks, I'd rather watch safety video.

I was re-reading this thread in anticipation of my trip there next week, and I saw this post. So, clr, did you make it in September to the Phils? If yes, I'd like to read your report man.

Cheers.

One more question here to the UPI experts:
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.

[clr]

VP, no didnt make it, a friend of a friend had a stroke a few years back so my buddy asked if I would show him around costa rica and colombia, being the softie I am, I acquiesced. 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??
