Back from a short weekend getaway to Manila. Here's my FR :
Room 502 International : Tried this club after reading some reviews about it & wanted to generally check out Malate/Mabini Street as it was a first time for me. I came at 7:45 PM and was the only customer

Was greeted and taken in to be shown around the club and explained the system. A few ladies, about 10, sat near the entrance, elegantly dressed like those in night clubs like Tiannamen, Hong Kong Palace or other China KTV's in Singapore. As I am a fan of syt and not tall, slim but older women, my first impression was luykewarm. But I thought since I'm already here why not just try and explore this place and this concept. I was told P2000 entitles me to unlimited drinks whatever I want. So I chose Jack Daniels with Coke and chose a sofa upstairs. Good decor. The waiters were friendly and poured drinks for me and brought hot towels & a beautiful lady (not sitting a the entrance came to accompany me). Just as we finished introductions & were getting comfortable and getting to know each other, she was withdrawn and replaced by another one. I was told this was their system. One girls sits with one customer for 15 min only. But the next girl was gorgeous as well. Another one later was really very sweet , young student. Soon I was a little tipsy and realized I've drunk almost quarter of the bottle. In the process I chatted with 7 different girls all minimum 21 and maximum 26 years old. Most held office jobs, some were studying at the university and worked on certain days only. Learnt a few Tagalog words, heard their life stories. The most I did was hold one girls hand and took number from another. A couple of them took my number as well. Ordered some food which was delicious and the ladies served me. Including tips and food (P1000), my total bill was P4200 for a good two hours of non-stop drinking, food and companionship included in the price. Overall I felt I was doing a very Jap/Korean thing but OK for a different experience. Those who want to entertain clients more discreetly, this is a good place.
Jap Clubs on Mabini: Went to a couple of them to just check the system and look at the "software". Found it a waste of time. Not straight to the point and the girls were not necessarily or consistently prettier than EDSA/Burgos. Sit, order expensive drinks and sing karaoke then negotiate take home rates only at the end of the night not earlier

Someone with different experience in Mabini, please enlighten.
Miss Universe: Went a little late this time and most better looking models were occupied. Enjoyed the show and a few P100 massage by the male attendants while sipping your drinks. They double up as mini papasans to help you to call a girl if you like one.
EDSA: Nothing much has changed over the years. However I find the quality dropping a little. Places like Pittstop were very empty as well for a Saturday night. Got a very slim, cute syt at Cotton Club and gave her my number to meet after my bar hopping. While I was still drinking at Miss Universe, she took a cab down to my Makati Hotel and waited for me at the lobby there. Had 4 rounds with her till she left at 2 PM the next day. Very good attitude and service. Sweet and innocent type.
P. Burgos: This took the lion's share of my time and budget. Because I stayed right at Burgos. Visited most bars. Plan B was a disappointment and so was Bottoms, Moulin Rouge, High Heels, Bourbon Street & Dimples during early hours. Not sure if their sad hour girls are better. Tickles, Rascals, Shampoo, Montana and Wow Wow Wow were good. Several bars are willing to let girls give BBBJ to customers. Take out fees are 1750 for Happy Hour and more worth than 3500 during sad hours. Girl will stay for minimum 3 hours for that price. Extras for the girl is negotiable. In case you don't have a room some places e.g Dimples & Tickles have an upstairs room for you too.
Wechat Massage: Randomly called a girl from one Massage establishment that sent me pictures and looked genuine. Rate was P500 for massage and she didn't spend even 1 minute massaging me. The moment she entered my room, our lips were locked and had two rounds of slow, gf like love making. Nice !! Gave her P2000 for that 2 hours effort.
Street Massage: Loads of girls giving flyers on Burgos, chose one that looked fair, slim, good looking and took her number. Texted her during the day when no bars are open to pass some time. P500 for massage and P700 for a good long sensual BBBJ. Very worth for that price. Repeated for another masseuse but this time went to her room in a back alley. Similar prices but less comfortable than your own hotel room.
Overall a short but good trip. Took Tiger both ways as I wanted to leave Singapore after work on Friday & come back as late as possible on a Sunday. Enjoyed a couple of nice Filipino dishes ...Tinalang manok and Arroz Caldo....masarap !!
