Angeles City (Balibago) Tips

[The Lord]

Thank you bro for your reply and your words of encouragement.

I was thinking that i am going to die in a town with all bars closed.

10% of bars would not affect me...

Actually its 1 or 2 good bars and great company that makes or breaks a night right?

Sometimes i have had the greatest of nights at the most unlikeliest of places....

Thats AC for you right??

Sometimes the bar where i had a great experience on one night fails miserably on another night!!

Also The Lord, Don worry about the closures. We looking at less then 10% of the bars and maybe some jitters in the atmosphere.

I assure you that you will not experience much changes when you there.

ADB approves $400-million loan for cash transfer program

By Helen M. Flores (The Philippine Star) Updated September 03, 2010

MANILA, Philippines - The Asian Development Bank (ADB) approved yesterday a $400-million loan for the Philippines to support the expansion of its conditional cash transfer program known as the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program or 4Ps.

Social Welfare Secretary Corazon Soliman said the new loan will benefit some 582,000 poor Filipino families.

“We are thankful for the ADB’s approval of a $400-million loan for the expansion of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program. This is very timely as the DSWD will increase the number of families receiving monthly cash grants to 2.3 million by the end of 2011,” Soliman told a press briefing at the ADB office in Ortigas, Pasig City.

The DSWD said this was the first ADB loan to the Philippines for the 4Ps under the Aquino administration.

The 4Ps is a five-year poverty reduction program of the government implemented through the DSWD which provides conditional cash grants to extremely poor households to improve their health, nutrition and education particularly of children aged 0-14.

It gives a P500 per month grant for health and nutrition and P300 per month per child for educational expenses. A household with three qualified children can avail themselves up to P1, 400 per month or P15, 000 a year.

Soliman said the program has benefited nearly 900, 000 poor households nationwide since it was launched in 2008. She said the beneficiaries will likely reach one million before the year ends.

According to the ADB, financial barriers are a major reason why children and pregnant women from poor families do not regularly seek out preventive healthcare. Similarly, costs associated with education, as well as poor households’ need for additional income - are leading factors keeping children out of school.

“Conditional cash transfer programs have proven to be an effective way of keeping children healthier and in school,” said Camilla Holmemo, ADB poverty reduction specialist.

“These programs help families break free from the cycle of poverty,” she said.

Poor mothers and pregnant women are eligible for cash grants if their young children receive regular health checkups and immunizations; and if pregnant women receive prenatal and postnatal care.

Families can also receive an additional grant if their children are enrolled in primary or secondary school and maintain a class attendance rate of at least 85 percent every month.

Neeraj Jain, ADB country director, said the loan will have a 25-year term, including a grace period of five years. The loan has an annual interest rate of 0.15 percent.

Meanwhile, Soliman said the Philippines is unlikely to achieve one of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) which is reducing poverty incidence to 12.5 percent by 2015.

Soliman said poverty incidence rate in the country is currently at 40 percent based on the latest survey by the Social Weather Stations.

Jain said the conditional cash transfer program of the government “is a necessary program but is not sufficient program to reduce poverty.”

“This must be complemented with livelihood programs such as community-driven development programs,” he said. – With Ted Torres

Pamimtuan had a meeting with the bar owners yesterday. He cleared up some misconception and misunderstanding. The message to the owners is that they are not out to close down the businesses. As long as the owners follow the "rules" (meaning ay heaw cho larng ) he will leave them alone.
They take care of him and his men and his men will also help to take care of the businesses. Win-win for everybody

The 4P program is not specific to AC. It is more for the whole country.
Anyway there are conditions to comply with to qualify for the program.

A friend who went there last week for 5 days, said after the big raid with police carrying machines guns, and closed down several popular shops, most girls refused pay bar, he had problems getting pay bar from all the clubs many nights, and had to pick up freelancers in disco or on the streets.

I never liked AC, but always try it once every 2 years or so, but still don't get addicted to it like Chang Ping or Zhuhai. Is the scene getting back to normal by now, the fear of bar fine gone yet? May try AC again for the 6th time next week, since China having golden week next week, things are hectic there.

Please be very careful when you bring freelancers to your room. Be very sure they look aged above 20 years old. Cos the girl may just claim she is 17 when the police come knocking on your door, after she has txt her location to her "partners". Even though she look above 20 may not be enough when its her words against yours.
High probability that she will steal something from you once your toilet water sound is heard. Even if you catch her with her hands in your pocket, there is nothing you can do but ask her to leave. She will surely ask.."Can't you take a joke?"

Alert:
Same as usual except certain bars have no barfine, you have purchase 12 lady drinks If you want to take out the girl! Several bars are still closed but enough bars and attractive girls to keep you busy! Only few girls went home due to being afraid of getting arrested. During raids, customers will also be arrested but eventually will be freed so don't be afraid! During first 2 nights, I had hard time meeting girls because mamasans thought that I was undercover police!
Also, lot more girls are roaming on Fields Ave, I don't know if they're freelancers or working in the bars.
It's getting more expensive, old barfine cost 1,500P versus new barfine 1,800 for 12 lady drinks (150 x 12).

Thanks for the update. Did you bring your gift of panties with you? Do share your fun with us re the panties.

[tupac74]

Babaero .... Malibog .... these two words haunted us ... where ever we go ... if you are an optimistic person ... than those are good haunts ... you PARTY WELL ...

We checked in our hotel in Brassknob ... not up to my initial expectation but we have no complains about the facilities ... loved the friendly staffs ... Ok .... I'm not going to give a detailed field report but could offer a summary page ... shoot the questions and comments, will try my best to answer . There are no real tips or no real guides .... your experience may differ from others ... good things may be interpreted as bad, if your mood perceives it otherwise or vice-versa ....

I broke few rules in order to experience despite the tell tales .... but it turned out to be a GOOD ... so .... Don’t be afraid to experience outside your comfort zone ... go with your instinct ...

This trip was an experimental for me ... 4 nights 4 women ... no regrets .... I took a cherry girl despite all the warnings .... She was friendly, bubbly and offered me a super-girlfriend feel ... 1 of the best take outs for me .... The intention was good and I kept my promise to her ... she remained a cherry the next day ...

Spend your money wisely ... DON'T RING THE BELL unnecessarily .... Instead invest the money to your advantage ... we bought the mamasan drinks ... it was magical ... the very next moment ... you will get the real deal .... mami will point out the best take aways ... you will not know if the girl is cherry or not until you get upclose and spend a LD, so mami is the faster way to determine ... saving you some LD to go along ...

Rules may have changed .... some bars are sensitive to the word "bar fine" ... don't be despaired ... there are alternatives .... buy your girl 12 LD and you may bring them out ... but it will cost you a little more than the average BF. I hope the on going changes do not affect the core entertainment value of the strip ... my mates have already plan for next trip .... In few months ... I hope it stays the way it is now ...

About the bar girls who have said they are very "safe" as the go thru their weekly check ups ... think again ... all the girls except the cherry have offered me unprotected sex .... they claim "I drove them to it" but fortunately my senses came to me and I took protection ...

It is so true ..... god have given us penis and brain ... but not enough blood to use both at the same time ... maybe they do go for weekly checkups ... but what if ... that was the point of the mishap and damn it you know well there are window periods that will trick the system . ... You dig it ...

How did I pick the right girl for me .... YES FOR ME >>> not for you .... Its disclaimer alright ...

1. I walk in to the bars where I’m invited by shouts of the door girls ... when you feel invited ... it changes your mindset ... you will be more optimistic

2. As you walk in ... do a quick scan of your threat's and friendly's ... I know I’m average looking ... I only fair better when there are less threat's around me ..

3. Sit in a strategic location ... be the man and ... smile a lot ... don't over do it ... break the ice ... speak some tagalog ... it would be an advantage ...

4. Most of the girls in the bar can be BF ... stage dancers, waitresses, cashiers, mamasan ... choose the girl to your palate ...take your time ... don't rush it

5. If you are not feeling the vibe ... don't take the girl ... walk the door ... go to the next one ... 100 doors are open ... shut a few ... no worries

6. Don't be very objective in finding the right for you ... have fun ... disturb a few waitress ... not losing the focus on the stage ... don't try hard to get the girls to notice you ... personally for me .... I will spot the girl who teases me or gives me the look ... most of the times it works very well for me ...

7. Here's the deal ... you got the girl .... you got the good feel ... what do you do next ..... BF her .... nope ... there are few questions you will need to ask her ... QUALIFY THE GIRL ... be upfront ... here are my questions ....

a. Are you a cherry girl? I took a cherry girl just to experience my resistance to temptation, BE WARNED IF YOU CAN'T RESIST TEMPTATION .... DO NOT BF A CHERRY GIRL ... IF YOU BREAK THE SEAL ... PREPARE TO PAY DAMAGE UP TO 50K PESO ...

b. Are you menstruating? What is the point of taking her unless you JUST WANT THE COMPANY ...

c. Ask her what time will she go back home after spending the day/night with you? This is very subjective to individual ... i prefer the girl to stay with me for the whole night ... and not to ditch each other ... all the girls that i BF, told me it was up to me ... so i had a GF feel rather than feel that they were a hooker ....

8. Guys ... treat the girls with respect and they will care for you ... and trust me ... you will have a better time in bed ... it KARMA maybe ....

I had a blast and awesome time in Clark .... avoid unnecessary attention with the local boys ... you will be fine ... have fun ... Cheers for now ...

P.S: Norice ... thanks for the guidance while we were there ....

tupac out ...

Bro Ziebart just wanna check with you.... As much as i think i know all of Angeles City i might be wrong.... Hence i wanna check with you this....

The entertainment complex in Angeles City extends from the end of Fields Avenue all the way up to Perimeter Road and finally on to Upper Perimeter Road (Honey Kos) right?

From Honey Kos you can still take a jeepney all the way down the road almost closing in on Friendship.... There are quite a few pubs there as well right such as Star gazers or some thing along the lines? Pardon me i forgot....

Apart from this is there any other entertainment zone that i have missed out.... or are there other entertainment areas that i have never seen?
