Good news for you...... in my latest sortie last weekend it seems the EWR has become more standardised across most of the bars/clubs...... most of them have prices at 1500p (red tag) and 1800 (white tag)...... what surprised me was this pricing applied even to the spotlight gals which used to be at 3K for EWR....... now irrespective of whether the gal is a group dancer, coyote dancer, cultural dancer or spotlight dancer..... her price for EWR depends on the colour of her tag.

The coyote dancer I EWRed from Tropix (1500p) used to be a spotlight dancer at Crystal Palace (3000p) and she was hardly able to get more than 2 EWRs a month as a spotlight but since downgrading to coyote at 1500p..... she gets at least 2 EWRs every week.

The Santos street bars were totally empty of gals last weekend...... several of them had gone "home" to assist the family during this typhoon..... on saturday evening @ 10pm I went into every santos bar and no one was working !

Ha, only wish this was true.
As I reported last year, I was actually in AC when Typhoon Megi struck the PI. Although AC didn't get a direct hit I have to say that almost everyday for nearly 3-4 straight days it was always over KNEE high in water and it was worst in Perimeter. Also lost 2 pairs of flipflops in the swift rushing water, (they were both blue color so if you found them let me know). Also AC blackouts everyday for almost a week due to flooding.

Good news is I still had a blast sitting in the dark (or sometimes in candle light) with all the gals

Thanks for the update. Hope the price remain the same than to increase during the end of year due to need more money for Christmas and New Year.

DM is nowhere near the jeepney route.
DM has no electronic safe as far as i know. The last time i stay about 2 years ago.
Now dunno have or not.

First timer going alone or without a senior, best stay away from Perimeter.
Maybe the furthest u try in Ponytails,Cherry,Stampede.
Just stay close to Fields Ave bars for the time being.

PT2: I thought I saw some kid with blue havainas flip flops .. talaga .. maybe your no ..

Lord: no offense lah.. about the many posting ... just commenting only

AhHia: well, if I remember, the last time there, Thi Hi boss was going for some operation .. or some visit somewhere ... missed his emails lately .. Hope he is not playing 'Taps'

Nah, just a passer-by, who everytime, went there to grab a chilled beer and contemplated a bar fine, before my regular 'bodyguard' dragged me off to Diamond to intro her new friends

As for datou: I would say Phoenix is still nice, but ... since it is your first time, pay a bit more, stay in Fields, and learn your sea-legs first .. then you can, during day time, take a trike to the perimeter bars .. BTW, even day time, perimeter used to have hold-ups .. especially when you are a bit drunk ..

And you can't tell the trike fellow not to stop for his 'pare' .. so .. play safe ..

Yah, perimeter does have it's thrill of cheaper barfine, but ... alone .. and uninitiated, stay in Fields.

U are so right about that.
I think he is taking extended leave to visit St Peter.

Thks to Bros The Lord, Beefstick, Ah Hia & ectys on your advice on hotels

Could someone tell me the favorable websites to book the hotel?
I was looking for Casa Del Roque hotels but some websites is quoting S$80+ a night, Hotelangeles does not list this hotel.

Thks a lot.

There is only 1 way to book hotels in Angeles City.

DIRECTLY WITH THE HOTEL.

Either call or email (i strongly suggest email) the hotel and book for the rooms.
Most hotels dun require u to place a deposit.
Some may require ur credit card incase u no show and they will charge 1 night to ur card.
Some may require u to deposit money into the bank account to hold the room.
I suggest again, to use hotels that dun require any deposit upfront.

Hope that helps.
