I didn’t check out the Sky Trek KTV at all. Instead, we went up the elevator to the third floor to check out the action. They had three different levels of ladies there and three separate aquariums. The prices are all posted so you don’t have to worry about foreigner price gouging like at the Thailand prices. The price you pay (and this may be the case at AF1 as well) depends on the time of day you go. 7:00pm to like 1:00am is the prime time and the most expensive. If you come before or after that you get a discounted rate.

For example, if I remember correctly the prices for the lowest class were 800 pesos between 12 and 7, then 1200 between 7 and 1 and then back down to 800 from 1 to close. I think the prices in class B were something like 1000, 1500, and then back to 1000.

And then finally in the high class the prices were something like 2000, 2500, and 2000. I don’t remember all the exact prices, but the numbers I gave should be pretty close. The time allotted was 90 minutes.

I walked around to all three different classes and was finding it hard to make a decision. I wanted to ditch JayR now that I had found and gotten cards for these places so I could find them again.

I finally chose a lady from the lowest tier. The papasan wanted to sell me a bigger room with a shower and better facilities, but I declined. As you can see from the picture above, the room was just an overgrown closet. There was not much space in there at all. I paid JayR for the ride down and his time and thanked him. I kept his number just in case I needed anything else from him, but didn’t call him back the rest of the trip.

So it was 1200 to the house and 1200 to the lady. Her name was Jenny and she was 19. We went through the whole process of the massage, which I wanted and it was pretty decent. She was friendly and I liked her. The time limit was an hour and a half so we had plenty of time for both a massage and sex.

She massaged all parts of me. She did the neck, back, arms, shoulders, leg, feet, and chest. After the massage it was time for some sex. She did provide a pretty good BBBJ and was very reactive to the Vigel. I believe she came a couple of times with it and overall the session was quite enjoyable. The only drawback was that when we finished there was blood on the sheets. Fuck! What is it with this country and ladies with their menstruation always working? I just don’t get it. She apologized profusely for the blood, but I just wanted to cleanup now after an otherwise enjoyable session.

They have a drawer to lock your belongings in the room while you put on a robe and head to the showers. Their bathroom was very much like a termas style washroom with all the amenities. They had soap, shampoo, conditioners, tooth brush and paste, comb, mouthwash, deodorant, etc. There was also an attendant to get anything else you needed.

I showered and cleaned up and went back to the room to collect my wallet, etc. Jenny was still there waiting for me and then I got dressed and we headed back to her lounge/aquarium. I thanked her and gave her a big hug and then headed back to the Heritage.

While in Manila (November 2011), I was surfing the Internet and found a Filipino musician forum website with a very informative posting on Manila's massage parlor scene. Since posting a link to another forum might not be allowed, do a Google search with the key words "StarFleet, Philmusic" and it’ll bring up “All About Spa, Massage and other Relaxing Treatments.” The detailed information is down at the bottom of page 11, reply 271 by “waya-drum.” Most of the posts on the forum page is in Tagalog except the one that I 'm referencing.

Before I found the posting, I was going to Air Force One, but the posting identified the nearby StarFleet as having lower rates. I caught a taxi and insisted the driver use the meter or else I was going to bail out. The driver pissed and moaned about the heavy traffic, the long distance, the high cost of gasoline, and his cost to rent the taxi which all added up to him not making any money using the meter. I offered to give him a good tip if he would use the meter and he agreed. The taxi driver tried to get me to go to a closer and cheaper massage parlor or a boarding house (brothel?) in Makati. He said I could get a girl at the boarding house back to my hotel room for an all-nighter for 5,000 pesos. I declined and kept him pointed toward the StarFleet.

The final metered rate was 120 pesos from EDSA, but traffic at 7:30 PM was horrendous so I gave him 200 pesos. I now understand why taxi drivers don't want to use their meter especially during rush hour.

StarFleet is located on the 3rd floor via an elevator. There's a security doorman who will give you directions. The girls are in two separate viewing rooms. One is the VIP girls whose services cost nearly twice as the regular girls. There were eight girls in the VIP room. The second viewing room had about 15 girls. I didn't think the VIP girls were anymore prettier than the regular (but they are younger) girls so I picked a regular.

The cost for a massage with a regular girl was 850 pesos for 90 minutes. The girl said the extra service would be 1,000 pesos, but it would be up to me.

The massage was ok. The full service was great. The girl did not short change me on time or service so I gave her 1,300 pesos. She hinted that she was expecting 2,000 pesos given the quality of services she provided. I couldn't argue with her over her services so I capitulated and gave her 2,000 pesos and she was happy. I wanted her happy in case I returned. In total, I spent 2,850 pesos (US$65). The cost is about what I would have paid or less for lady drinks and to barfine a girl out of a Manila club plus tip.

I'm a fan of the Thai "fishbowl " massage parlors and this is the closest that I could find in the Philippines. It's not the same quality, but it was enough to satisfy me. If I had more time in Manila, I would have liked to check out the other "relaxing" establishments identified by “waya-drum.”

Good info. Thanks for sharing.
