if it was me, I would have, with a straight face told the staff that I am visiting my niece in AUF and seen the reaction ..

Like recently when a girl asked me to lend money, I with a straight face told her I donated my balance money to the Church and she went, "wow, didn't know you are so kind .. and why would you donate all to the Church ?? "

Throw a spanner in the nosey parker's business and see how it goes .. it nothing, it atleast keeps you smiling for a day ..

I posted the following in the PH Thread, though it is more relevant here ..

Please, BTW, don't throw vile accusations like asking how much an 'asset' makes. . asset ? if i was to be an asset I must be damn down in the gutter, because if I was to be one, I would also know that assets themselves get ratted out and don't live long ... bugger .. what a crank ..

never mind .. me guess, Dirk Kuyt has got too much reading between the lines, and somehow inferred I am a powerful person .. buggers .. did I say that ? no .. I am only lowly connected and not into the power corridors, or anywhere near there, nor I want to be anywhere even close by.

Dirk Kuyt: I suggest you go an read up what I wrote .. don't make me a hero or villain for no reason. Please, FFS

out ...

I wouldn't say otherwise. A friend's business in Cebu got burnt and guess who ratted him out on his illegal gun ? A fellow 'expat'

And another guy who was outed for hosting a dozen girls in Cebu (no, I don't know this guy nor would I have wanted to be even his friend, as he was abusing young kids .. ) was outed by a fellow expat, who had the previlege of visiting the den and making notes of where the cops should look for ..

Now you know why I don't make new friends with Permenant resident Expats living in AC ?

And same reason, when in a bar, when a guy who looks like been living in AC wants to make friends, didn't I tell others also not to get to mushy mushy ? Now if after all this if Dirk Kuyt is throwing some wild arrows, I would like to say sorry if My english didn't get too simple ..

Again, don't make friends in AC or wherever .. make the friends in home territory ..

That's just my 2 cents.

Current environment also had a few friends I know cancel their plans for AC next month as they rather not face the risk of hassle or even capture during a suppose relaxing vacation. Right now its travel at your own risk and they rather not risk it. They will head to JKT instead as they will avoid PI. Feelings right now among some of my masters in PI is this will eventually spread through out entire PI as the new amended "anti-trafficking law" is a national law and not just a local one, its just a matter of when, so feelings are things will get a whole lot worse before it gets better--if ever.

What is going on?

Did a quick round trip to AC over the weekend. What a difference in a couple of months. My last trip there was in May and I was shocked by the change in Fields ave. I could count the folks on the entire Walking Street on my fingers. It's so surreal..... like I just walked into a western movie and an empty cowboy town.

I should have known from the signs prior to takeoff. My CP flight was supposed to be on the 4th but CP pushed it back to 5th.....not problem for me as I still have 2 nights to stay over in AC. At the airport my boarding was quick as there was no queue at all. My flight was more than half empty and as I scanned through the passengers I realized I was the only foreigner on board. The rest of the passengers were Filipinos.

Landed and cleared Immigration at Clark in super quick time as I was the only one in the foreigners booth. Checked into the Walkabout hotel in Fields ave.... the receptionist asked me what type of room I wanted....they have plenty of rooms available. I took the same poolside room that I stayed on my last trip.
I paid 1350p for it the last time and now they wanted 1620p ..... WTF no business and still increase prices.

Put my luggage in the room and went out to have my dinner at Tequila Reef. Usually the street in front would be packed with bargirls, mongers and vendors. I saw a deserted street instead with less than 10 people and this was at 9pm.!!
WTF is happening?

After my dinner, I went into the nearest bar which was Rhapsody..... I saw plenty of girls inside but only 2 AngMos guys..... later it turned out they were the owner and manager so I was the only customer. Even then the mamasan was wary of me and asked a lot of questions..... she tried to catch me off guard by speaking in Tagalog suddenly. I could sense the tension inside the bar with both AngMos and the girls eyeing me but not approaching..... I did not finish my SML and left Rhapsody.

Next stop was La Bamba ..... the waitress Mitchell recognized me and some of the dancers too..... I called a few down from stage and offered to buy them LDs.... then Mitchell told me I can buy them LDs but they cannot sit with me at the couch.... they have to remain on stage.... WTF!! This bar was well known for its lively music and girls but the mood tonight was sombre and subdued..... I felt like being at a funeral wake.... there were 3 other Johns there so that makes a total of 4 customers they had.

I then decided to hit the Megabars and headed for Atlantis..... nothing much has changed..... they usual dance troupes going through their routines..... the pole dancers highlights and the Korean money throwers..... and the empty seats too.
The place was about 80% empty and the other customers besides myself were all Koreans and a couple of middle eastern looking guys.

Next stop was DollHouse...... Wow! So empty!! Before I could turn around and walk out the door the manager called out my name..... he recognized me from my last visit. We sat and had some beers and I got to hear about the happenings in AC. Then he asked me to help post some positive reviews in the forums I am on as business is very very bad..... almost non existent. I had enough and decided to end the night. Back at my hotel I started consulting my little black book to contact my previous girls. Most of them were afraid to come as they had been warned not to go with Asians. Finally I managed to contact one FL but she was in Manila.... she had gone there as she was not able to pickup any clients for the past 2 weeks in Fields ave..... at least in Manila she had some work...... I told her to come and I will pay her taxi fare.... 3 hours later she arrived so I did not have to sleep alone

I see you joined in September 2012 and always only post in Angeles thread and promoting Devera.
Is it you got share in that hotel?

My colleague just came back from there and say sibeh jialat.... everyone there is desperate including the bars and businesses. He told me to cancel my coming AC trip and go LOS better even though its more expensive.

There seems to be conflicting accounts of the reason for the raid on Camelot.... whilst the speculations centre on "marked money".... "party animal".... "barfine"..... etc ..... these are all merely speculations. The owner however believes this raid is connected to the earlier raids on Camelot in Oct 2010 & Mar 2013 ....... which he is vigorously contesting in the courts.

After the raiding party left in 3 vans with the arrested girls...... they returned and proceeded to conduct inspections at the Brown Sugar & Spearmint Rhino bars.

So do you have any idea which bar they will hit next?

I am the legal advisor to several bars in AC and I used to travel there every other week from my home in LOS. Now the bar owners come to LOS to see me instead as they are scared to stay in AC any longer than they need to. Running a bar is no longer profitable in AC. Every centivo that is earned goes into paying off those corrupt bastards. In some cases, the owners have to dig into their own pockets if the amount is not enough.

Mr Lawyer, is it worthwhile to be a bar owner or partner in AC now in its present climate? I have some money owing to me and he can't pay me..... so he offered his share in the bar as payment of the debt.

I have PMed you.... please reply.

wow...interesting update...tks...
will oso contact me ladies early to keep me company...
btw...any problem if the ladies go bar-hopping wif me ?...
or better to lock them in the room ?...
or maybe...me take bus to manila...

[etsys]

btw, to the guy who asked 'how much does an asset make' .. the answer in a line .. from a PH veteran ..

Normally it is a bullet through the head ..

Nobody want to be an asset, as elimination of witness is common practice to end problems .. and don't make insinuating comments ..

Just that's my 2 cents..

[Bannor]

Oh, now I see! I should have known something was up when suddenly 5 different working girls I know in Angeles started chatting me up last week within a few days on Facebook. And I haven't been to Angeles since december now! And I don't talk to much at all with them normally... Now they all wanted to meet, yet none of them said anything about this. I guess there are some desperation going around there now...

So do you think it will go back to normal soon? Or is this it?
