Re: Angeles City (Balibago) Tips
Newbie’s sharing for Newbies in AC
Booking of ticket via Tigerair but expect to fly an aircraft operated by SEAIR.I paid $142 for 1 month in advance booking. Expect a slight walk upon arrival at airport in AC. Immigration is fast and fuss free. The taxi that you take will be available immediately at exit from airport. They will show you a chart that says 500peso. Just say 300peso and you will get it. It is per car. I was there with another friend, still paid 300peso. On way back, we tried 200 and 250 but rejected. Thus I can safely say 300peso is the base. Trip from airport to Fields is around 10-15 minutes.
Along fields there are many bars side by side. All are agogo bars. The only different ones are Crystal Palace, Dollhouse and Atlantis which have “shows”. “Show” are choreographed dancing and pole dancing and some singing by good singers. Personally I feel the one at Crystal Palace is the best! The pole dancing is the best I have seen in the world!
The good thing about AC is that you can just walk into each and every bar without even sitting down, take a look at the gals and exit if none catches your eye. It is pretty accepted there. If unsure, just sit down and have a beer and look again. A beer/coffee/Gatorade/whatever cost between 50-125peso depending on the place and time of the day. If still unsure, just signal for the gal to sit beside you. A LD ranges between 100-150 peso for a single where the gal will get to keep around 15peso and she can finish it much faster(small glass with drink of her choice, normally fruit juice or soft drink). I personally prefer to buy 250/300 peso beer for them. This will last a while and they are happier as they get to keep 100 peso. And normally that’s the only drink for the nite as I decide to barfine or not.
After buying the LD, most, if not all allows some touching, although there are some shy ones.
Perimeter also have bars. Contrary to what I believed after reading past thread, it is relatively safe. I took a Jeepney coasting 8 peso there. And I think a good point to stop is adjacent to Clarkton Hotel. From here, you can start to walk back towards Field and check out all the puns enroute. My personal recommendation is AFTER SCHOOL here. However, the drinks are relatively expensive at 85peso in the afternoon. But they have good choices of young cuties and I love the school uniform. Total of 3 barfines for us along perimeters and all turned out to be good GFE, great sex and no runners. As mentioned earlier, I was rejected by a chick whom made me still sore as I type this! I did asked 2 gals on why they are good looking but chose to work at Perimeters. Perimeters have lower EWR (1300-1500peso Compared to Fields of 1800-3000peso) Their reply was better hit rates due less competition. So you can expect good stuffs too from Perimeters.
At those big establishments you will get hassles of Mummies asking you for drinks and pestering you to choose girls. What I discover is to be courteous yet firm. Such as saying NO when she ask you for a drink or tips etc. They generally leave you alone after.
As for EWR, I have tried asking and confirming that she will stay till next morning and BJ included etc. All worked otherwise. She ran after first shot. I took a 300 peso without asking anything at all, she stayed till next day and gave me the best time I had in AC. I guess it all boils down to individual so I will not comment more. Many the seniors are better advisors in this area.
SM Mall is a good place to spend a lazy afternoon before the bars open at 2-3pm. Large Mall, safe and free wifi within(Sammy boy forum is blocked in SM Mall!! Haha). Lotsa restaurant and relatively cheap. For example, Pizza Hut, 1 personal pizza, with soup or salad and drink cost 99 peso. That’s the kind of price. Haircut is pretty good at 120peso. We made our way to get a taxi at SM Mall to return to airport too and it cost 300 peso again.
Massage is another good item to spend your afternoon. It only cost 300-350peso an hour! I spent my time at a good one with clean towels and proper massage bed, nice aroma. 350 peso an hour. No where else can I find this. And it is good, satisfying massage. I go for massages regularly btw. I kept the card now. And one needs to contact can PM me. But generally there are all located abeam the Jolli Bee at Jeepney Terminal on the way to SM Mall.
Other entertainments include clubbing at the Star Trax. I only found out on last day. According to my gal, some spend their off days there. It is a nice place with many hot chicks dancing among themselves. However, do prepare a set of ear plugs. Drink are not expensive similar to the bars. I heard they do impose cover charge on weekends.
Karaoke can also be enjoyed there. I do not recall any pubs with live band singing there as I was looking for one too as Filipinos are good singers.
Sim card can get from most shops selling cigarettes or money changers. Also on sale in SM Mall. I got the Pinoy Buddy at 40 pesos. Already comes with free 35 sms.
Money changing better rates in town than airport. Just go anyone as I find the rate varying only by very little eg 1 S$ 33.60 vs 33.80
Overall I do not feel unsafe at all in AC. I do see people wearing ROLEXES walking around. From my day 2, I was using my iPhone while walking with no problems. Expect some beggars sand seller or belt, knife etc along the way but they are harmless. So just enjoy. It is really just a nice place with good service at restaurant, hotels etc. Even the drivers are so courteous and professional. Only 1 stupid woman call me a CHEAP CHARLIE along PERIMETERS as I walked out without ordering a beer as there were no gals catching my eyes then.
These are all my personal views as a first timer in AC recently. I will be glad if it is useful and apologize for any shortcomings.
