I am shocked how much strawberries in the markets cost in The Philippines outside of Baguio. They cost more than in the U.S.
Also, they seem to be imported from New Zealand. Couldn't they just get it from Baguio for a much cheaper price?

Just some quick notes from my very recent visit. This is far from exhaustive so won't be offended at all if corrected or if I missed something obvious.
Was looking to catch a few live games whilst in Angeles over three weekends and initially only found Brettos (seemingly partially rebranded/renamed Paradise Beer Garden) at the far end of Walking Street (away from SM mall) to show games with sound.
They use a good quality internet stream of BeIN sports (UK Sky commentary) across multiple screens in fairly big bar non A/C bar. They only show a single game across all screens (not like some Bangkok/Pattaya bars where multiple games will be shown).
Yesterday went to watch the early game there but was told they had an issue with internet provider so could not show the game. Found Rob’s Gastropub close by and initially though this is where to watch EPL in Angeles. It is large, well-appointed indoor A/C bar with large booths and big screens showing a Vietnamese channel (with UK Sky commentary). All was great until almost 10pm when the DJ kicked in. I did notice the place filling up from around 9:30 with locals but thought nothing of it. However at 10 the music started really pumping. Seemingly this is the locals pre-HiSo venue of choice (for those not wanting the typical Angeles bar). No issue with the venue as the place was packed.
Over the last few years I have had several bargirls/freelancers friends show me text messages from white guys here telling them, "You can fuck other guys, just don't fuck any n@ggers". WTF. I'm amazed that these guys think their girls are not fucking everyone here. So sad! One of my regulars here that is getting supported by a older white guy says he's always talking bad about black guys. I'm sure it would kill him to know I've been bare backing her for about 5 years. lol
Heard one of the girls fell hard last night.
Anyone see this or see how bad it was?
Does this happen often?
Planning a trip the Phills in the spring. Been few times before with my Filipina wife and daughters, but this time I'm going solo. However, a white guy by himself is an invitation for a mugging. Some parts of the Phills, white skin = money!
I'm looking at a couple of nights in Manila on arrival. Then heading north to Elocos Sur where the wife's family are. Give them a look-in, before finding a beach resort. San Fernando probably?
So with caution in mind, got to thinking having a Filipina accompany me on my travels. Not only to put off muggers, but also to haggle taxi fares, shops, hotel prices, ect so I don't get ripped off. Like the wife done when we went together.
Now the question is: Just where to find a reliable lady that for the price of peso's, will accompany me to ward off the muggers and con artist? Not forgetting having her share my hotel room, if would be so lucky?
Chances are I could pick one up in Manila before I leave? But how can trust I wont get ripped off and robbed? So does anyone know of any websites or whatever where I can find a reliable lady? I am based in the UK if any help?
Hello,
I am looking to build a house in Angeles. Can any body refer an architect that they have used? I'm simply looking for someone who is not expensive to produce a blueprint.
Thanks
Maybe Mongers are not the best people to ask for advice about quitting a sexual hobby, but maybe someone here has good advice.
I'm a student aged 24, working part time. I make some money but not a ton. I am spending way too much money at home on Escorts, and massages with happy endings. (Roughly $100 per escort visit, and $110 per massage with happy ending) ...
I tried to quit a couple times to save money but I keep blowing it... at this rate I won't have enough to go to the beloved Philippines next year. Any advice to temporarily quit the mongering hobby to save money?
Many people say it's dangerous to walk down from Perimeter (Don Juico) to Fields at night. I have never been one of those people as I come from Los Angeles and walking down many of those streets is far more dangerous. It was approximately 10 PM and I decided to walk from around Bretto's to ultimately the Reef and umm Lollipop. I tend to do this as often as possible but generally it's earlier so I thought a little night walk would be different.
I guess if I one were drunk out of their mind that might signal to any nefarious individuals that a potential mark is beckoning but walking like a normal human being is very safe IMHO. To be honest, I only walked past 3 other foreigners the whole way so that says something. You be the judge of that.
Here's a few shots (sorry on 1 shot of girls as I didn't try) from around Eruption's down to Checkpoint. There's an interesting cheap buffet for 299p (Anybody try it?) I may checkout, a cheap 60 peso barber, a newer bakery and a laundry shop @ 35 pesos a kilo.

I found some incredible fares on Kayak for China Southern Airlines. I'm talking US $446 round-trip, econo class, LAX-MNL-LAX, late April 2017 departure.
Anyone flown CSA? If so, what was your opinion? The LAX-Guangzhuo leg is on a A380.
Thanks in advance.

Found this article from the New York Times about the drug related killings since Duterte has become president. Pretty gruesome and lots of graphic photos.
The House of Representatives justice committee approved on Wednesday a draft measure on the reimposition of the death penalty. House leaders hope to pass the bill on final reading before Congress adjourns for the holidays next week.
