Phillipines, Manila, Makati Happenings

[The Lord]

Aye.... Y put mad emoticon in my post ah?

Yes LA (MBC) is great for starters ....

Yes the surroundings there are ERrmita & Malate.

Do u know The Lord has walked up n down those kampung jalans many times?

Yes i hv had my experiences too...

But not to d point tht il label it as bad n stay away....

If u really wanna see the kampung in a city visit QUIAPO near the FAMED BLACK NAZARENE CHURCH. The whole plc is like kampung big time... Rarely u see cabs there. Even the walkway at the MRT below is so messy.

You see people milling around in all directions n angles.

U gotta be really careful at QUIAPO.

Kidnappers and criminals abound....

Medicines to abort in the firt month are available here.

[The Lord]

I was asked a question in my pm.

Is it important to register d girl at d frontdesk.

My answer is u must do it. The girls details must b with the hotel. This is for ur own security

In addition, plz always chk gils id for age proof.

Even wen i request in room massage, i strictly ask for age proof.

I dun wanna get stuck in any scams

[etsys]

The Lord: to answer the same PM I got too ..

If in Manila, and AC, unless you are in 'high end' hotel, hotels don't ask for extra .. as I said, even when I 4 girls in my room in Rivera, they didn't ask me anything .. or even when atleast 2 girls stayed over ..

Of course, if you stay in Shang, or Makati Suites, or Peninsular or such top places, they do ask you to register !!

mrliew: Well, actually, the whole of Philippines is Kampung .. it is just that foreigners don't get to see much of the Kampong.

Take P Burgos .. venture away like 10 minutes, the place is a mirror image of Malate / Pasay or everywhere .. the only exception is Tondo which is real cowboy town .. and talking of Makati, actually, the area surrounding GB and such is the carbon copy of Singapore .. ten minutes away, you are in a jungle ..

And for P Burgos, while I shun the place, it is good for those who are used to spending money in TP/PM and such places .. and they dont' feel the pinch ..

Of course, for me .. spending 8,000 peso on an evening ? I Can stay in a good hotel in AC, get a great barfine and still have money left for another barfine ..

Of course, different folks, different strokes.

As of MBC, I have some friends who hang around there, and help me to 'scout' and cut the crap (no, they are not mummies .. ) so it is still a good place.

Again, MBC is a different place on day time vs evening time ..

Stick to 1,500 to 2,000 LT .. and insist no more .. of course, when you have left, then you can always give her tips ..

For the kids, well, dunno how you got harassed .. I always take taxi to get drop off at LA/MBC, and insist the driver don't drop me like three blocks away or so .. and when leaving, same: grab a passing taxi.

The only times I walk to MBC is if I am parked in Malate hotel and have a 'escort' to company me .. so the kids can be kept away .. well, once a teenage kid tried to block me and suddenly I had alarm bells that a few trying to surround me ..

Not that it matter because my wallet has "NOTHING" and my pockets all are virtually empty, and also my phone i use in Manila is the cheapest .. (oh that goes for survival technique anywhere in Phil .. don't flash expensive phones .. ) .. and my 'escort' grabbed one of the guy's shirt and told him to piss off .. and being Philippines, the kid was staring at me .. totally acting like the filipina friend of mine was non-existant .. it was funny anyway

Oh, another thing I keep reminding .. DON'T, FOR FUCKS SAKE, MAKE FRIEND WITH NATIVES IN MANILA, as most of them are scammers .. the non-scammers are not keen to chat up a foreigner .. and the warning includes guys who meet in you a mall and remind you that he is the hotel security, or the bell boy .. etc. etc and after a while you will be buying stuff for the fellow or be threatened .. all that never never happen to me, but know enough guys, including one fellow who was forced to buy a big birthday cake and also ang-pao of 2,000 peso for a 'hotel security' guy he bumped into at Harrisons ..

And talking of Harrisons, there too are 'mummies' who are scammers.. will chat you up and when you reject they will start drama .... again saw an ang moh being harassed .. well, I walk away if they try to be friends .. and Harrisons - well, there is Banana Leaf there .. so after all, Malate does have it's nice stuff too

I miss philippines, been there a few times, but only at Pasay, Makati and Ortigas and Boracay, also been to this small city called Iloilo last year...I wish i can go to AC someday...

We must be street smart there and as much as possible, dont act like a tourist who dont know where to go, especially if you walking through the street...

Been to Miss Universe at Pasay a few years back, dnt know if it still there, the girls there are pretty attractive, they have their numbers and if you like a girl u can request the mamasang for that girl, just mentioned the number...

[The Lord]

Yes iloilo is slow n nice.

Have you been further down from iloilo to places like Guimeras, miagao etc?

Smallville is pretty chic. A small version of our Holland V.

Yes being street smart is a must


Miss universe is still listed in the pasay city government listings as an entertainment biz.

wow, what place in philippnes that u didnt visited yet? hehehe we went to smallville but that night it was crowded so we went to the city central

We only went to Iloilo city then frm there we had our 6hr bus ride to boracay..

in iloilo we went to CAMP JEFFERSON, the price there is quite reasonable, the girls there are mostly from pampanga or somewhere north of the philipnes

[etsys]

I am sure The Lord hasn't been to places like Buguias, Tugegarao, Batanes, and .. well, not gonna go on

Of course, me am guilty of never stepping on shore anywhere near Abu Sayaf Land ..

[bolsterposter]

Slums / kampung everywhere in the philippines really. Anyway just don't dress too high class, wear t-shirts, jeans, slippers or berms can liao, will blend right in. Nobody will think you are foreigner can even walk walk everywhere.

But safety first, always. As long as you're aware of the various scenarios and what to avoid, you'll be safe.

Harrisons also has gong cha now! Alishan milk tea! Slurp...

Going to Manila and Legazpi tonight. Hope it turn out well!

For sure going to drop by MBC as I still prefer that place. Since I am alone, going to KTV will make no sense.

By chance will there be anyone here will be in MBC this Saturday night?
