Re: Angeles City (Balibago) Tips

I've been to AC for about 6 years now and the most I ever visited AC was 6 times in one year. Although AC is NOT what I call a safe place as there are places and streets even I don't want to venture. It's ok if you stick to the general bar areas (remember to be out of Perimeter before the last bar closes as its a dark ghost town by then). Mugging do occur once in a while, usually off Fields and mostly between Fields and Perimeter but that shit happens anywhere in PI and not just AC.

When I was a newbie there, I use to only travel by trikes.
Trikes are ok but can add up quickly if you use it alot. Jeepneys is the way I always go and never had any problems, other than the fact that some drivers may cheat you out of a few pesos by short changing you sometimes but not worth arguing for 2-3 pesos. Only hassle is the crowded jeepney where some may try to pick you, but all I do is put my hand in my pocket where I keep my money and never had a problem. Also, don't be too foolish and carry more than you need anyway. Even Traveling with a bargirl from Perimeter back to Fields to my hotel, I still use a Jeepney for the 2 of us and never had a complaint. Just my take from someone whose been there and done that (alot).
