Basic Restaurant Hotel Info re SEX with HOOKERS - MANILA Philippines

April 2002 to today :

MANILA - Basic Hotel Restaurant Info

re SEX with HOOKERS

GUIDE only :

Use the information below as a broad guide to get you started.

Originally I personally collected the info below but nowadays most of the following is reliable 'second hand' info (not personally collected)

You can not rely on any one website for accurate/up to date info. Scour the Internet and draw your own conclusions : )

UPDATES : Reviewed Sept 2008 (significant changes made)

Make sure you read "Philippines - Field Reports" for the possibility of fresher info.

ARRIVAL IN MANILA:

NOTE : Its a long time since I have arrived at the Ninoy Aquino Intl Airport (MIA). Nowadays I always arrive at the Philippine Airlines Terminal 2. (Philippine Airlines only terminal) Info below refers to Ninoy Aquino Terminal and therefore will be outdated , to what extent I do not clearly know nowadays. Put it this way , I have not heard anything to dump the following info :

Immigration & Customs - After alighting from the plane you meander along the corridors following your fellow passengers to the Immigration Booths. Much smaller line of booths than Bangkok and the Immigration Officers are not so studious or serious either and so a minimum of delay. On leaving the immigration booth, check how many days you have been issued with and query it , if it does not correspond with the visa issued to you in your home Country. When whorist.com gets organised you will only need to flash your 'Whorist Visa', thus minimising delays even further : )

After passing through immigration you will come to the baggage carousels. Quite often there is a significant delay in the bags arriving on the carousels. Grab your bag and pass through the 'nothing to declare' inspection tables, that is, providing you have nothing to declare. "Anything to Declare" ? : No Sir, only eight dozen condoms, ten large tubes of KY gel. and a years supply of Viagra. "Whorist" ? Yes Sir. "Pass through".

Money Exchange - Before exiting this area I suggest you change your money at the Money Exchange Bureaus inside the baggage hall. On the other side of the baggage hall people out on the street and lots of others can see you changing money. Better to do it discreetly within the Baggage Hall/Carousel area. Compare rates between the Exch. Bureaus, as they do vary. Make sure you get plenty of small notes and some coins. The Philippines is notorious for not having change. This situation is sometimes exploited by taxi drivers etc in an attempt to screw more money out of you . "Sorry, I don't have any change" , will be heard often, in the Philippines (not so Thailand) . It is the beginning of your realisation that the Thais are better organised than the Filipino's , but that does not affect the RP's value as a fun destination. In fact the dysfunction of the Phils ensure you have a better time : )

Don't forget you will need Pesos for your departure tax when you leave the country. P550 plus there might be an additional P200 levy to pay nowadays. Put aside early in your trip , P1000 for departure tax and any incidentals.

Note : It's a long time since I have used this particular airport. I take a different route to Phils nowadays , avoiding Manila. If any problems , look for the Information Desk.

D.O.T. - Department of Tourism. Once out of the baggage claim area but still inside the terminal, you might like to head to DOT and get them to ring around regarding your accommodation. Whilst there you could get an idea about the cost of a taxi to Malate/Ermita area. Around P125-150.

Note : It's a long time since I have used this particular airport. Any updates on the Ninoy Aquino Airport would be welcomed.

Transport to the City (Malate/Ermita area , wherever) - You do not wander outside the airport and hop in a taxi at Manila Airport. Ask inside the Airport at the official Information Desk or DOT Desk , where you buy a taxi ticket. It costs extra but ensures no hassles on arrival. Alternative to taxi ticket is use the newly appointed and metered "Yellow Taxis". As you exit Aquino Airport (Terminal 1) you turn hard left. An Airport guy will write down your destination etc and give you a copy. This is an attempt to dissuade monkey business from driver , as you have a record of drivers number , and phone number where you can report driver etc on your copy of the receipt. Problem is , these new ideas of Phils some times do not last. To be on a sure thing buy the taxi ticket and be sure you know precisely where this taxi ticket service is located (from inside terminal) . Do not hop into what appears to be a regular taxi , and do not listen to any one who approaches you "taxi sir". Manila Airport is notorious for rip off taxi drivers , use the taxi ticket service = no rip off , and a pleasant , no hassle arrival at your destination. Otherwise use the Yellow Taxis , about one third cost of taxi ticket taxis.

To continue ....

Outside the airport building itself , there are hustlers praying on unsuspecting visitors to Phils. As described above , get your transport organised before you step outside the terminal.

Later on when your trip is over and you are returning to the same airport , the situation is quite different , really nothing to worry about. No need for taxi ticket or Yellow Taxis. First enquire at your Hotel Front Desk how much by taxi to airport. From Ermita last trip it was P125/150. Add P50 to that. Stop a taxi and offer the regular fare plus P50 and tell him "no meter". On my last trip , from Ermita , I stopped taxi , said to him "P200 , no meter , Airport". He nodded yes and I jumped in. Make sure you know which Terminal , there are two international ones. All Philippine Airline flights leave from Terminal 2. All other flights leave from Terminal 1 (all international flights). All domestic flights , except Philippine Airlines , leave from Terminal 3.

Control your bags. Only let driver help with bags , no other. From my viewpoint, Manila is the worst place to get from the Intl Airport to your accommodation without hassles. If you buy a taxi ticket your arrival at your place of accommodation should be hassle free. Alternative is to walk upstairs and catch a taxi dropping departing passengers off. Your fare to accommodation in eg Ermita should be P150 approx only. But your taking a risk catching a regular taxi at either of the Intl Airports. See above , buy a taxi ticket instead (at arrivals).

All of this info belongs to www.whorist.com

Transport in General - Manila is particularly bad regarding dishonest taxi drivers. 'Hot' meters are not uncommon. Some refuse to use meters. I get out of such taxis. Cebu and Davao are honest and pleasant by comparison. Angeles has its annoyances with the little 'mosquito' motorised tricycle drivers trying to rip you off, but Manila takes the cake. Recommended strategy for Manila : .1. forget about the taxi meters .2. Find out from someone, eg at your accommodation , or bar or wherever you are (eg D.O.T Airport) , before you step outside, how much the fare should be to your next destination. They will have some idea (yourself none). Ask taxi driver "how much" before you step inside the taxi. When he quotes a price close to what you have been told hop in, otherwise step back and wait for the next taxi. There are heaps of taxi's in Manila (one of the reasons they try to rip you off, its hard to make a living as a taxi driver in Manila). To report a bad taxi driver .1. calmly get as much info about his name, driver number, licence plate etc as you can .2. pay him 3. tell him what you think of him 4. Phone 7890 (Note : these types of Ph. No's change like the wind).

MAPS/Streets : One of our readers , Taipan recommends : http://www.directorymanila.net to find specific streets in Manila.

ACCOMMODATION:

If your new to travelling in SE Asia , its best to read the accommodation guidelines in the Thailand section first. Most of what is said there , applies to accommodation in the Philippines too.

Some of the basics : Before you hand over any money, make sure : overnight guests without extra charge are ok (99% of time they are) ; the room they are offering is satisfactory and if a Security Box is important to you , the availability of same. You might like to try a place from my list ( below ) for the first night. Preferably do not pay for more than one night. Use following excuse : "Tomorrow I change money and pay for more days". Reason you do it this way ? It gives you flexibility. If on your first night your not happy with the place you can check out next morning and find a replacement. Refunds are hard , sometimes impossible to get , in SE Asia. Try and avoid paying too much up front.

Malate/Ermita is the most popular area for whoremonger accommodation. Bringing hookers back to your room there is 'normal'.

Best to see the room before putting any money down. Quite often they will try and get rid of their lesser rooms first. If you dont like room , ask them "have you got something better" , usually they do : ) If you leave your bags at front desk ask Security to keep eye on them. Or place them behind reception desk , otherwise they might not be there when you return from inspecting the room/s. Do not leave any small valuable bag sitting on the floor unattended , take it with you.

The currency quoted on this website is the Filipino Pesos. For conversion to your local currency refer to : www.xe.net/ucc

Accommodation , not in any particular order. Search via google if you want to confirm current room prices.

Ermita area. This is a relatively less expensive sex area (Angeles City cheaper) , see Nightlife Notes for details (Ermita/Angeles).

ERMITA area :

All relatively convenient or close to the Ermita/Malate sex area , and monger friendly :

1. Executive Plaza Hotel : This is very popular , must book in advance. Monger friendly. 1630 A.Mabini St Malate Phone (63-2) 523-1000. Located opposite the Hyatt. Short walk to La Cafe freelancer spot (3 blocks ?). P1800/2200 room. Good rooms. 3 mins Robinsons Mall (and freelancers).

2. Palm Plaza Hotel - 524 Pedro Gil St c/r M . Adriatico St Malate (Ermita) . Ph. (63-2) 5221000. Email : palmplza@i.net ..... to confirm prices , maybe around P1500/2000 per day . Monger friendly. Three star , clean , convenient to Ermita and EDSA. Walking distance from La Cafe pick up joint (see Nightlife Notes).

3. Las Palmas Hotel - is walking distance from La Cafe. 1616 A Mabini St Malate. U$45-65. Executive Plaza , Palm Plaza and Las Palmas are all part of the same group of Hotels. All handy to La Cafe and other pick up joints. Monger friendly.

4. Heritage Hotel : is opposite EDSA , 5 min walk (See nightlife notes re EDSA) and/or a short 10/15 min taxi ride to Ermita and La Cafe (see Nightlife Notes). Monger friendly and U$60 approx per night. Google for latest prices.

5. Copacabana Apart Hotel : Pasay City. You can walk across the street to EDSA (see Nightlife Notes). Rooms at back are quieter and have view of pool. Room P2150 and up incl's Breakfast . Other room/price choices available. Email : copa@skyinet.net Monger friendly.

Check www.asiatravel.com for more accom possibilities.

6. Iseya (Billabong) Hotel - 1241 M.H. Del Pilar Street , near c/r of Padre Faura , Ermita. Monger friendly. P1200 and up. Email : Iseya04@yahoo.com , and check room prices. Phone : (63-2) 523.81.66(67/68). No website to my knowledge. Very good location for sex action. Rooms and management might have deteriorated since my stay there. Ask to look at their better rooms and assess for yourself before putting any money down. Rooftop Restaurant bar. When I stayed there name was Iseya , maybe its called Billabong nowadays ?

From Airport : Down Roxas Blvd , turn right into United Nations Ave , then right again into M.H.Del Pilar , about 300 (?) metres up on right hand side , just before Padre Faura Street. Outside of Iseya looks filthy , like the rest of Ermita , but inside its ok , believe me. Even so , check rooms before putting any money down.

Only reason you are staying in this filthy Ermita area is because of its convenience to La Cafe (chicks) , and short taxi ride to EDSA (chicks) , and other sex venues in the area. Otherwise you would not stay here. Focus on the chicks , not on the run down filth of Ermita. Most of Ermita/Manila is run down and filthy anyway : )

7. Lotus Garden : c/r Mabini & P. Faura Sts , Ermita. Formely known as Royal Palm. Short walk 7/10 mins to La Cafe (Freelancers , see Nightlife Notes). P1700 (?). Check www.citygardenhotels.com Not 100% sure can take girls back to room here.

8. Bianca's Garden Hotel : 2139 Adriatico Street, Malate P1250 and up Nice atmosphere . Ph. 526 0351. Not 100% sure can take girls back to room here.

9. Ermita Tourist Inn : 1549 A Mabini St c/r Soldado St Ermita Ph 63.2. 5218770 Fax 5218773. www.mpensionne.com.ph (?) P650/850/950 Apparently a nice cheap place to stay , but monger friendly ? , not sure.

10. City State Hotel , in Del Pilar St Ermita , Monger friendly , P1300 and up. No further info as yet.

11. Amazon Hotel M H Del Pilar (upstairs) , Ermita - Small clean air con rooms P1250. Excellent whoring location , 2 mins walk from La Cafe , for example , short time rooms available on the same premises. Freelancers at ground level same building etc. Haven't inspected accommodation personally. Certainly 100% monger friendly.

12. Swagman Hotel - Mabini St Ermita. I have seen it listed as : 411 Flores St Ermita , too , so contact : manilatravel@swaggy.com , or , www.swaggy.com for clarification address , prices etc. P1300 nowadays (?) www.swaggy.com Good Ermita location , but if you believe reports this place has gone down hill in recent years. Perhaps a personal inspection would be in order cause its in the mongering area of Ermita. Possibly ok for a one night stay , if you got one of their better rooms ? Certainly check it out if desperate for accom in Ermita area. It would be last on my list : ) Monger friendly.

Swagman offer free pickup at the Manila International Airport , which is important for a newbie wanting to avoid potential hassles at the airport on arrival. In addition there is a 'Fly the Bus' service which leaves for Angeles three times daily. P5/600 (?)

13. ST (Short Time) Hotels : For banging babes away from your regular hotel , if you so choose :

(a). Amazonia is very close to La Cafe and its Freelancers. See Amazon Hotel above , same place.

(b) . Sogo Hotel P300/500 (2/3hrs ?) . Sogo have ST Hotels scattered all over Manila. There is one in Ermita (ask taxi driver) , which maybe is still offering a discount card for your 2nd/3rd use of the place. I will add more info re Sogo and Amazonia as I collect it.

More basic info re

SEX with HOOKERS - MANILA Philippines :

RESTAURANTS

You will find food costs more than Thailand. Even so , its still not expensive compared to the West. See Philippines General notes for my comments on Filipino food. Satisfactory Restaurants can be found , just a little more of a hunt than Thailand.

Honestly , currently I can not recommend more than one decent place to eat. Tried Slouch Hat , and Iseya roof top Restaurant , Pizza Hut .. all in M.H. Del Pilar St , not satisfactory in my opinion. The only good one I've come across in recent times is :

1. LA Cafe : See Nightlife notes for location etc (Freelancer section of notes). Daytime you will have to eat downstairs in amongst the hungry unnatractive 'losers' (girls) from night before. If any one of them approaches you just nod your head 'no' well before she reaches you. She'll turn around and chances are no one else will approach you after that and let you eat in peace.

Nightime is the place to be for the girls and the place to eat ... upstairs (decent tables and environment). Head upstairs , pay the P100/150 entrance (worth it for superior girls and environment) sit down at one of the decent tables and eat a decent meal. Note : Early in night plenty of restaurant type tables but later on you will have to eat at 'bar type' tables. Friday and Saturday nights especially , other nights better dining tables more readily available.

Disclaimer : I have come across comments that La Cafe food is lousy. Maybe it was good when I was there and has gone downhill since then ?

2. Alternatively , M. Adriatico St is a Restaurant St , and of note is : Cafe Adriatico , 1790 M. Adriatico St (Remedios Circle) , Malate , Ermita (Ph 525.2509). There are Pizza places , McDonalds etc etc here and there (Ermita) . You will not starve : )

INTERNET

I stayed in Ermita last trip.

From c/r M H Del Pilar and Padre Faura Streets , walking along Padre Faura , you cross over Mabini St and 2/3 shops down on your right hand side there is a ticket office for shipping lines etc. Think there was some mention of PLDT on window too. They have 4/5 computers and facility for connecting your laptop.

Internet Cafes are everywhere in Ermita and Manila (like every other place in the world : )
