Arrived Sunday into AC. It was a pure miracle I made it, since I connected in Chicago with a Snow Storm on Saturday which delayed all the flights. I always prepare myself with 3 days of clothes in case of baggage delay and it was good that I did. Miami was in the low 80's when I left, but Chicago had a snow blizzard. This caused my outgoing flight to be delayed by 90 minutes and had me running to my next flight to catch the Tokyo connection. The Tokyo connection in Chicago had to get de-iced, plus there was a ground stop so that flight also ended up being delayed. This caused yet another short connection to MNL, only 30 minutes from the time the plane touched down to my next flight leaving.

I was not terribly surprised my luggage did not keep up with me. But I was prepared, at least for 3 days.

As always I stayed at the Wild Orchid (CH Link). I like its central location and also the Lagoon rooms to the back are super quiet without any of the street noise!

I arrived in AC at 1:00am dead tired after the long trip and all the stress with connections. I did not want to spend to much time looking around so went straight across the street to the open bar left of Treasure island. I do not think there is a name posted outside. Pickings were slim, only two girls including one cute petite one with long hair. I liked her enough to pull the trigger, plus being a "walking dead" after my trip motivated an early night. 1500PHP LT.

In the room she ended up being a lame duck - No BJ, plus she kept on worrying and insisting on a condom. I could have probably swung the condom with a BJ, but without it just pissed me off. I told her to get out now....but she relented and told me that I could fuck her BBFS but had to come outside her pussy.

Not a great start, but at least I got a finish. The next morning she woke me up around noon and wanted to go to breakfast. I wanted to sleep and told her to leave instead - also, I did not want to waste money on breakfast or lunch on her.

However, one wonderful thing about AC is that there are so many girls that one is bound to find a good one. That is what happened at the Shadow Bar (CH Link) the next day. What a cutie...those diamonds in the rough one often finds here and there at the BJ bars. 22 years, long hair and almost too pretty to work in bar like this. I started with ST, but later converted her to LT. She was cute, sweet, energetic, good in the sack.

I ended up keeping her 3 nights until today. But it was her lucky break as well - Shadow was raided by police on Tuesday morning and the girls taken to the police station. Still closed today. She nervously watched the police vans from the Wild Orchid restaurant the day it was raided.

So, since I ended up staying only with two girls on my trip so far not much to report from that end - except that the one that has spent the last few days with me was exceptional and one of the reason I keep coming back. A simple and sweet girl, very cuddly. Since I have never truly been single, I like having someone next to me when I sleep. If I moved, she moved as well to keep close to me.....which I truly like. In the morning when I was just waking up she started to play with me until of course I was ready for one of my three daily rounds. Complete GFE!

Today it is off to Subic and back to the US on Sunday.

So here is the latest about AC - Still plenty of girls and bars, but the scene has definitely changed. Santos Street has been completely stripped down - Heaven's Bar (CH Link) is closed, Shadow was raided, the Wow Bar now has a new name and with what seems like no decent looking talent. Lollipop (CH Link) was raided with the last couple of weeks ago as well.

There definitely is crack down - keeping up with the ever changing bar names is difficult (I guess they have to change names for some reason when they are closed and then reopen )

When I spoke to the waitress at Lollipop she told me that the bar was only closed for one day as part of a sting operation that had a bar patron take a girl back to the room, then going after the bar with "Human Trafficking" charges since no minors were found. What a bunch of bullshit. Does it really take sting operations to realize there is prostitution going on in every single bar in AC??? Also, with so much emphasis on underage girls I certainly would not want to be a bar owner - many underage girls bring fake ID's and fake birth certificates, at least that is what the waitress and a bar girl told me ("pssst.....secret, ok" the girls would tell me). How exactly can a bar prevent this from happening? Also it sure does not seem like the girls I have met in the bars over the years were "trafficked". They willingly came from the province to support their families and of course their children. How exactly is that "human trafficking"?? Most have zero job prospects in their own community.

Also, for some of you that maybe do not like Santos and Raymond Bars, or potentially think less of the girls. After barhopping with my girl for a few nights and getting to know her better, I pretty quickly realized that some girls rotate to and from Fields Bars to/from BJ Bars. My girl was a dancer in two bars, including Eager Beaver (which was raided last year as well). Along the way in some of the bars we met her former co-workers from Shadows that had moved on to other bars.

One another note, I also went to High Society (CH Link). Very nice girls, but I did observe a rip-off that has been posted on another board: The barstaff tipping itself. My two drinks should have been 210 or 220PHP, but after giving 500PHP I only got back 250PHP in change. Since I planned on tripping 20PHP anyway, I did not complain but did not leave an additional tip. So be aware.

Anyway, off to Subic....

Thanks for the report, I look forward to reading the Subic chapter. The girl from Shadow Bar sounds like a real sweetheart!

Sucks about all the raids, I'm especially dismayed about Lollipop being hit. Its always been one of my favorites. I keep hearing about a "no barfine" policy in many bars, but it doesn't sound like you encountered that.

I assume the airline ran your bag up to AC for you?

I made my living on Raymond Street. It's why it took weeks to even make it day time to the Perimeter. So what you're telling me here is my former playground is a fucking wasteland.

Fine. What's the next destination, people?

Never really connected with Soi 6-Patts. The insistence of RUBBERS might be to blame.

Looks like the good times are over.

Yes, they the Airline (JAL) delivered by bag 2 days later around noon. Since I was prepared for this to happen, it was not even a minor inconvenience. My personal approach is ALWAYS to pack extra clothes in my carry-on.....

Santos and Raymond street are definitely not the same anymore. The raids are taking a toll, less customer's, less girls.

However, I actually did not run into any issues asking for barfines in both cases (Remember I only had 2 girls).

Last night, however, for the first time I encountered a "stealth barfine" in Subic at the Lollipop Bar (CH Link). I picked my cutie after her sipping a couple of lady drinks slowly and being lovely company. She quietly whispered in my ear if I wanted to barfine and I answered 'yes'. When I prepared to pull out my wallet and money to pay for it (2000php) she quickly pushed my hands and said "Later". When we left the bar, we went the back way through a couple of bars. We ended up in one bar when she finally asked for the barfine to pay Mamasan. I gave her the money and waited for her to go back to her bar and return.

It was no drama, BBFS, nice little girl....all 4'10" of her :-) Exactly why I keep coming back to PI. Popped before going to sleep and waking up in the morning (Ok, no pop possible in the morning on my side but at least a good try!!!) After both of us had a chance to wake-up she nicely asked me if she could go and I could come to the bar to barfine her later that night! I tipped her 500php. Great BBFS service with a sweet girl that does not rob you blind the minute you go the bathroom, all night, with tip $55.00 USD at today's exchange rate....I call that a bargain!

So while Bar Raids do indeed suck and have changed the scene, good girls can still be found in both AC and Subic.

Perfect... time to chill at the pool and go the floating bars.

I kind of jumped ahead with the girl and barfine story, but arrived in Subic yesterday. I checked into the Wild Orchid Subic (CH Link), which offers a 15% discount when paying with cash.

My first stop was the Blue Rock Floating Bar (CH Link). I just love the floating bars. Very friendly girls and a great place to hang-out. The Australian Bar Manager came over and introduced himself and then gave me a free beer - happy camper. Stayed there for quite a bit of time with the playful Bargirls before smelling the BBQ chicken from across the water and restaurant. Ate a decent BBQ chicken and french fries for dinner, before starting my bar hoping.

That night in one of the bars I saw a group of young American looking girls. I asked one of the bar girls sitting with me about them, since it was an unusual scene in a bar with working girls. She told me that it was a group of Missionaries wanting to "save" the girls. Oh boy, good luck with that one.

I like Subic and its laid back atmosphere. Drinking a beer and looking over the water from the floating bar towards the beach is hard to beat when compared to AC.

Today is a hot and sunny day. Time to jump into the pool!

This afternoon and night my game plane will pretty much be the same - Floating Bar first, dinner, and the bar hoping. Strongly thinking about going back to the girl I pulled from Lollipop bar last night, but then again saw a few cuties in the other bars. I guess I will just have to play it by ear.

Today is my big decision day - Tomorrow (Saturday) is my last full day, before my flight home Sunday morning - strongly considering heading to Manilla and staying there. Got a girl from DIA that wants to meet up. Not sure yet. The idea of having to wake-up at 3:00am and driving from Subic on Sunday morning does not sound appealing since I cannot sleep early, which pretty much will mean no sleep on Saturday night before the dreadful long flight home. A nice hotel in Manilla the night before and a good night sleep before my trip sounds much better to me, even so I will lose a night of playing.

Hmmm.....decisions, decisions!

It might be too late to tell you this but I went into almost every bar in Subic and thought Lava Lounge, Catwalk Club, and The Office were the best. I missed out on a stunning gal in Lava Lounge and a really cute gal in Angels named Princess. If you have time and haven't yet, you should check these places out.

Thanks for the tips...I ended up with a girl from one of the floating bars. I am generally not so picky and don't need a '10', so for me it is generally easy to find a girl I like in almost every bar. Two primary requirements, long hair and skinny - then chemistry and if I like her.

RIght now I arrived in MNL....glad I did, cutting out the 3 hour car ride in the morning.

Great Report so far, thanks for the updates.

How long was the flight from miami to manilla total?
i am south florida boy myself.

I am dying to go , i just joined DIA , what a fun site with skype.

Smuckin - There is no way around it, but it is a painfully long ride from Miami to Manilla. I always use American Airlines since I am Executive Platinum and can travel in Business paying for Economy, but even then it is a loooooong trip.

First, you have to connect via DFW, Chicago, LAX, or NYC. Generally DFW and LAX are the better choice, but sometimes airfares might require the other connecting airports. Then AA flies into Narita, Japan (NRT), with a connecting flight on JAL to MNL. All in total probably around 25-30 hours with connections.

Then add in about 2 hours (depending on traffic) to get to Angeles City, more to Subic Bay.

It is a horribly long flight that I will never get used to - even in Business! But worth it when I get there. On my way back I usually feel different "I won't be back for awhile", then within a week the memory fades and I am planning my next trip :-)
