Can someone recommend a cheap hotel with a bathtub not too far from Manila airport? I just need to stay one night for my transfer

>>2713394
Cheap hotels don't have bathtubs or even shower stalls. It's standard for the water to splatter all over the bathroom floor.

The fried chicken is pretty good.

Regarding fried chicken
Jollibee = KFC > McDo > Popeyes > Chowking

Maybe KFC is even better than Jollibee.

>>2713698
Popeyes is always top of the list retard. And people in Manila can get Popeyes.

Die asshole. I tried their fried chicken in Manila and it was barely edible.

Tasty chicken curry & rice meal served in Intramuros by some very friendly people at a collection of stalls. No, it isn't served all blended together like that, but it's not always you get such a generous serving of meat & sauce with the rice.

Equally stupid shit has happened at any restaurant I visit that isn't full on Kenny Rogers, shit back in the US, or machine order. Like even if you point to shit their critical thinking skills are so unbelievably low it's actually impressive. Went to a grocery store to have some items at my airbnb and the people were acting like I was lost looking for booze rather than just getting actual food and supplies.

Any good places for Western style bars and pubs?

I have some friends here who are taking me to local places so that's under fine but wanting to just hang out with other white people since I haven't been back in the USA in almost a year. I don't want to say I am homesick but could go for something like a US sports bar that isn't fucking BWW. Some of the last pubs I went to were just filled with Chinese trying to talk english.

Staying in Makita if it matters

>>2714055

go to poblacion in makati and look around, a bunch of western style bars and pubs there

In the same spirit as the previous anon, where do the rich people dine in Manila? Ideally restaurants with a dress code. I am assuming Makati as well. I am looking to dress up for dinner and whatnot.
Anyone here has experience with that, or should I be the one to bite the bullet and compile a list?

Hey guys, first time traveling internationally. I'll be in Manila for about 3 weeks. The first two I'm working, but the third I have free and was planning to take a trip to Japan for that time, and get two trips in one.
I have to be back at MNL Terminal 1 by 23:30 on the last day. How much time should I give for my return flight from Japan in order to get out of the airport (will likely be flying back to Terminal 3), get my bags, and get back over to Terminal 1 for my flight back to the US?
I see return flights that can get me there at 1:00, but it's hard to find info online if 10 hours (assuming no delays) would be enough to get out and back in.
Should I just fly back the day before and get a hotel by the airport?

If you can't communicate verbally with English-speaking children, you are the problem, not them. I spoke simple English in short phrases, and Filipinos rarely had any issue understanding me. One time I asked for one of the fried eggplant slices but got a fried egg instead; evidently eggplant isn't called eggplant in PH.
>not understand that I am walking towards them
LMAO, sucks to be a fat mutt who needs a whole yard of clearance just to pass someone by on the sidewalk. Filipinos give about 18" of space typically, which normal-size humans can fit through just fine with a little swivel motion of the body. Nobody's gonna want to clear the whole sidewalk for you just because you're a lardass.

Philippines has some amazing restaurants, at least Manilla does. I had some very sketchy club sandwiches in the province, though.

>>2715400
The shape of that plate alone tells me this place is ridiculously expensive, kek. For food, the cost increases far faster than the quality does when you try to go upscale, due to the lack of competition at the high end. Whereas for rooms, a moderate increase in cost (50% or so) gets you a far better place.

It was fairly cheap at 1150 pesos per person. Great selection of food and very calming ambiance at Holiday Inn.

Definitely. So does the amenities and the free breakfast buffet. The best hotel in Makati for me would be Ascott.

I found decent stuff in any of the cities with a decent sized population. Philippines dishes themselves are more miss than hit, but you can find a decent version of pretty much anything you want for other food varieties. Maybe I just have low standards from being here in goyslop central, USA.

Agree to both of these. Manila is far better than the rest of the country. Problem is it’s still not good.

A perfect example is how “The World’s Oldest Chinatown” has nothing but Terrible Filipino renditions of Chinese food. Everything is still a “miss” in Manila.

You can fly up to Japan and any humble truck stop will have amazing food for a great price. https://youtu.be/LELteoPcvz4

I'm an American who lives in Manila, currently back home in U.S. visiting family - but I am seriously considering living in Japan, Vietnam, South Korea or Malaysia. I'm 27, make 10k USD per month (self employed).

Manila is overpriced. Our condo in BGC for a 2 bedroom was 75k PHP. The issue i had with BGC, was the fact that you had to live there or Greenbelt. Otherwise, you see homeless, people living under bridges, and stray dogs everywhere. So, they charge a premium for a pretty decent place to live but part of me feels I can do better.

It’s not hard. Filipinos are about on par with Mexicans for English speaking skills. They will be able to understand you better than you can understand them. Just be patient because most Filipinos have the mental capacity of a small white child.

Download the Grab app and use your American Credit card. In fact, use your US credit card for everything and save your Philippines pesos for when you really need them. Convert about $1000 USD at the airport. It’s one of the few trustworthy places to convert money.

Book an international hotel close to Mall of Asia. Preferably one with an Airport shuttle. If they don’t have the shuttle than book a Grab before you step out of the airport. Once you step out of the airport you will be bombarded with overpriced scam taxi drivers and baggage handlers who will demand a tip.

The Grab app will give you a description of the car and the plate number. Just wait for the driver.

Once you get to your international Hotel you will have your base of operations. You do not tell your online girlfriend exactly where you are staying. Doesn’t matter how in love you are, you will have zero rights in the Philippines. You can use grab to pick her up and bring her to you. You can use it to go to the Mall of Asia. I recommend having a separate hotel for rendezvous. Doesn’t have to be as nice as where you are staying.


Manila is no more dangerous than a city full of black thugs. The main difference is the indifference the local law enforcement will have for you. So you have to keep your head on a swivel. Don’t use public transportation like a Filipino. Pay for a grab car.

Several inaccuracies in this post.
>convert about $1000 USD
There's no need to bring cash or change it at a currency exchange in 2024, when ATMs are everywhere. If you want to buy a lot of street snacks, change the 1000 peso notes for 100 peso notes with a bank teller.
>on par with Mexicans
Untrue. Nearly all Filipinos speak intermediate level English; you do not need to know Filipino to get around PH. Whereas 90% of Mexicans do not speak any more than a few English phrases; you really do need to know Spanish to get around Mexico outside the gringo resorts.
>city full of black thugs
Manila doesn't have stickups and drivebys, more hustles, scams and the occasional pickpocket. Unlike ghetto blacks, scrawny 5'4" Filipinos with no muscle tone don't present any meaningful physical threat to your person. Wallet belongs in front pocket. Keep your passport in your hotel room when out and about.
>baggage handlers who will demand a tip
This part is accurate. Don't let anyone, uniformed or not, take your luggage from you.
>pay for a grab car
You can also use the Joyride app to hire a car or a motorbike (if you are alone, feeling adventurous and don't have luggage).
>>2716679
Get your big city shoes on. Everyone, from an 85 year old grandpa to a 8 year old girl, who approaches, solicits or tries to befriend you in Manila is up to no good. Don't even listen to what they have to say...tell them "no", or "no thanks", and shake your head while pursing your lips in disapproval. If you want to make friends or do business, do the approaching yourself.

Do you know what's really sad, how Filipinos generally don't take any pride, in anything. I walked along the Baywalk this morning, and for that whole mile or so, I saw lots of people running or cycling or whatever, and it was just all covered in shit and falling apart. Except for one place, close to the US Embassy. There was an old Filipino man sweeping, and it looked decent. Not new, but not falling apart. Why don't these people, that use that, or any road or sidewalk, take just one little moment for upkeep?

>>2716941
You know how much that would cost? My initial booking was sub 300 bucks for a month, then the hostel was 350, then everyone talked me into a 400/mo 'condo' room.

If I just wanted to spend more cash I would have entirely skipped PH and gone straight to Taiwain, though I got a good deal at the time for what was 300/mo place with my airfare being dirt cheap. It was more of a "well cheap enough to give PH another chance" since the last time I was here I just got really sick and couldn't venture out much.

Actually I specifically told you to get a hotel for a few days or a week and scout out places you want to live, and to absolutely never book month+ sight unseen.

I also told you to go to property manager in building you want to stay in and ask if rooms are available and if you can see one. You deliberately ignored my advice and chose to fuck yourself in precisely the way you were warned not to.

>>2716723
Get real, faggot. Your advice is stupid as all get-out. No way in hell is it safer to carry around a thousand fucking dollars on the streets in Manila than it is to withdraw pesos from an ATM as needed.

BDO atms have a 25000 pesos per transaction withdrawal limit. That's nearly $500 USD. The fee for withdrawal, 250 pesos or under $5. With a bank card tailored for international travel, the ATM fee will be refunded. Hell, even my free no-fee checking account with TBK Bank refunds all ATM fees. You have no excuse for traveling without a bank card that refunds ATM fees. None. It's guaranteed that you will get a worse deal exchanging US dollars for Philippine pesos at the cash exchange rate. Plus, you have to wait in line at the pawnshop, show ID, fill out a form, etc.

>>2717176
Actually dildo, your average flip speaks English on the same level as the Mexicans working in Kansas. I know because I lived in Kansas too. And every international hotel gives you a safe. You put your money and passport in the safe and only take small amounts of “walking around” money.
Your problem is you are very stupid and not a seasoned traveler. You think you are an expert from staying in the heavily policed and sheltered BGC. You don’t know what you don’t know. And you are too arrogant to learn.

A bunch of cranky ass people in this thread. Maybe try laying off the degeneracy, and going to bed early tonight. In fact, let's mandate that for everyone in the Philippines. All jeepnies will be prosecuted with extreme prejudice. Let's see how week everyone's brains function tomorrow after that. Maybe we can begin cleaning this country up a little by little.

Welp, it's 12:30. 30 minutes into the Sabbath for a nation that is about 99 percent Catholic, and if you wanted to go to sleep, bless your little heart. People are drinking in excess, and having unprotected sex out of wedlock, and it doesn't matter if you didn't want to participate, because they don't respect you, and they're forcing their life down your throat. I bet there's a good hundred more children that are going to be born and raised on the streets after tonight. Good thing the previous president cracked down on drugs. I hope the streets magically get fixed. Lots to celebrate here. Hell of a utopia.

How to know if a condo is likely to be quiet?
With respect to wall/ceiling/floor insulation and neighbours (both in and out of the building)

Are larger apartment complexes quieter than say 2-3 storey ones, due to thicker walls?

How do you know how loud the nearby shacks will be with respect to dogs, roosters, music?

>>2717764
There’s no insulation here. SEA world construction techniques are all formed concrete pillars and slabs and hollow blocks. They will then cover everything in tiles and veneers. The plumbing will always smell like shit and you always hear noises. Midnight videoke and 150cc motorcycles that sound like John Deere tractors because flips want their bikes to be LOUD to compensate for their tiny brains

>>2717764
Any condo by ALVEO and AyalaLand Premier will have respectable soundproofing.

>>2717776
Exactly what type of soundproofing?

>>2717764
I've lived in PH on and off for about 4 years now. Basically it's a crapshoot. If you find a good apartment that is QUIET you fucking hang onto it with a death grip.

It's a process of trial and error and finding an apartment not facing a busy road on a high enough floor to escape other noise. If you can get a place facing an inner courtyard then its usually decent, but again you will have issues with dumb faggots blasting music off their balconies at 3am, and then its up to you what you want to do about it.

I love Philippines bro science like getting sick if you get rained on, or gargling with water if you get a cut in your mouth. It's just so funny.

Showers without drain traps - allowing the sewer smell to permeate the room - are a huge problem in Mexico, often an issue in the Philippines as well, but very rarely encountered in Thailand or Malaysia.
I've encountered a few insulated rooms in SEA - you can tell because the room will stay cool for a while after you turn the A/C off.

Stayed in Angeles City about a week, it's full of scumbags and the only place in Southeast Asia I vowed never to return to.
The housekeeper and security guard for JW Apartments (in Malabanas technically, not Balibago) were both very friendly. She warned me about the women lurking around on the streets of the neighborhood - evidently both diseased and dishonest - and remarked on how strange it was for a solo white male in the Philippines to not be a coomer. It's a testament to how untrustworthy the locals are that even a budget apartment complex of seven studios had 24 hour security at the door. The studios were very well-furnished for the $20/night price, but the lack of a window and the noisy A/C units had me sick of the place after four days.

>>2719104
The only time I find it irritating, is when I'm buying something, or things, that amount to two or three times the amount of money they make in a day. I ask them bluntly, how much do you make in a day? How much money do you normally carry on you? Do you normally have two thousand peso in your pocket? If they ever ask why do I want to know, I tell them that I'm tired of giving someone a thousand peso bill, and they always ask if I have a smaller one. I had a lady give me three hundred pesos in 5 peso coins, because she, like every other fucking business here, doesn't have enough money on hand to cater to their customers. And this isn't in the provinces or the slums of Manila. We're talking the richest part of the entire country. The center of commerce. The largest financial district. I'd like to see someone deal with this shit every hour of the day for a week, and not snap.

Using your card for POS purchases greatly increases the chance of fraudulent transactions. Other than a couple hotel payments in Taiwan, I use cash for everything.
>>2719305
Breaking your 1000s in a bank is the best option in the Philippines. They usually have plenty of crisp new 100 peso notes on hand. I only use 1000s to pay for hotel rooms and bus fares, as the driver's assistants usually have a thick wad of change. Even 7-Eleven is often short of change in PH, because everyone tries to pay with 1000s there.

I'm going to marry a Filipina

>>2719504
>I’m going to marry a Filipina
……

>and her entire family.

>>2719504
Is she the eldest daughter of the family? Is so, then she is the family mule. You will become the eldest son an be responsible for supporting every financial need of your in-laws. You will not have a happy marriage if you do not. And no, you will not be unique and convince your pinky otherwise. She has been brainwashed her entire life to fulfill the role of the family mule. You will not break that conditioning without destroying her entire personality and losing her.

>>2719530
It's true, a Filipina cannot survive without the approval of her family. Even if they are exploiting her and she knows it.

>>2719530
Mines family is the opposite. The youngest is the family mule and it's her responsibility to take care of her nasty family. Really lazy nasty people. The sister tried to send her to OFW in Japan, "to support her to build a house" even though she's already married to an OFW, and the sister already failed at doing it herself in Austria and flew back with her head in shame (couldn't handle the overwork)

>>2719530
This is not true of every Filipina. Gross generalizations can be harmful.

this isnt a gross generalization. this is their culture. they are fucking proud of it. their brothers arent expected to take care of their parents. the mule daughter is expected. and by extension the mule daughter’s husband. this is the entire reason why white dorkers can so easily get flip wives. The mule daughter will take anyone. And once the marriage is done, and it is too late, you find out the reality. Every month there will be some financial emergency which will require 10,000 pesos or more.

>>2719651
there are exceptions. Sometimes the prettiest daughter is designated to be the mule. Sonetimes it is the ugliest. Most often it is the oldest and first one to get a job.

it seems like east asian culture in general enables narcissist behavior in parents by normalizing lifelong codependency

if you are going to marry another human, it is prudent to heavily shit test them for every possible thing and that includes their ability to say "fuck off" to abusive family members, regardless of what culture either of you are from... it is a rather unfortunate fact, however, a great many people rush into marriage without doing early enough shit testing.

"good enough" is only good enough in the early stages of marriage, settling for less than you can handle long term will only lead to building resentments that will manifest in abuse cycles and/or infidelity

So, the first link on Google said my airline flies out of terminal 1, but it's actually terminal 3, and the security guard didn't tell me there's a free shuttle, so I asked how far it was, and a cab driver overheard and shouted he'd take me there for 60. Turns out, the faggot wanted 60 dollars, I guess peso aren't the working currency in the Philippines, for a two km ride. He dropped me off in the middle of nowhere alongside the highway. Why do these people think scamming people, is a good way to keep the tourist gravy train coming in? I guess he thought it was an emergency and I'd be easily extorted. Wrong, chud.

Cubabro: No more cooming

I've noticed a change in myself......I've realized that no amount of cooming can come close to the joys of flexing your children on everyone.

This might be a case of "I came, I saw, I conquered", but I don't feel any attraction to Filipino women anymore. Of course I still make love to my wife, but the urge to bang random girls that i found in front of the 7/11 has left me.

Instead, me and daughters hold a daily fashion show in front of the local 7/11, dressing in our flyest getups and passing out lugaw to the less fortunate.

I don't want pussy, I want power, and through my children I can achieve this, especially as a Hispanic mestizo, they are the upper class of legend, a thing of lore. The hijas of a bisayan leyte virgin and a young Hispanic straight from the barco .....these new halfbreeds are hijas of crusty, out of touch white sex tourists and boricats (prostitutes). I want to be able to point at person and have them decimated or exalted, depending on my feelings....and this requires me to conduct myself in a certain manner, mainly not associating myself with girls of the street trash variety.

I just laugh when I go into a restaurant with my daughters dressed like the barangay captain and theirs some crusty sex tourist in flip flops and cargo shorts with his Yaya looking girlfriend whose trying her best to look basedsal with a 200 peso dress from the ukay ukay and some hooker heels. l saw one of those and she was trying to explain to the guy how to eat soup (I'm serious some of these guys are helplessly clueless)....the look on her face when I ordered the full spread with the wine in bisaya....she just gives me a look of sadness like she knows they can never replicate this no matter how long they spend on dating apps.

Cubabro: Intel report #112/ A strange encounter

Despite having a quite comfortable and large house, I find myself on the streets more often then not.

I just perch on a corner and observe the comings and goings of the local community, just out of curiosity, sometimes for 12 hours at a time.

I can say with confidence that I've become excellent at profiling people. I may not know them by name, but I know most of the Filipino NPC types....the trike drivers, the street kids, the students, the rich dude In a Fortuner or Hilux, the guards, the cops, the prostitutes, the hustlers, the shabu addicts, the honking balut sellers, the conyo rich kids...

As far as foreigners, it is far more interesting.

1. by far the most common profile is an older white single male. He may have a girlfriend, he may have a few, but he mostly keeps to himself and is just living in the Philippines because it's cheap.

2. Older guy with a family.

3. Broke backpackers

4. Younger digital nomad types

5. African students

6. Indian students

7. Indian loansharks

8. Africans nickel and diming drugs

9. Mexicans larping as Filipinos


But yesterday.....for some reason my Spidey senses were TINGLING. I saw something I never saw before....a rare sight indeed.

I was in a local barangay, far away from the tourist area. I saw a group of 7 young Americans in their 20s. 4 of them were eating at angels burgers (a cheap local burger stand). 2 white males, a white female, and a light skinned black dude. Actually who led me to them was 2 other white males who I discretely tailed from a 7/11 (American accents) and who I witnessed approach the 4 at the burger stand, have a brief conversation and walk away.

>>2720828
Now you might think, Cubabro, you're just being a marites, and for a brief moment I thought they could of been backpackers, but I know it's not the case for these reasons

They were soon approached by a middle aged white women with a young white boy around 10 years old, and another white girl in her 20's. Again brief conversation, then the middle aged lady, one of the girls, and the little kid departed in the same direction as the first 2 guys who approached the group of 4. After a while, group of 4 enter the 7/11 , don't buy anything, then double back in the same direction as everyone else. I didn't want to spook them so I pulled off as they continued on foot along the barangay road

Things to note: They road they were walking on is FAR away from any hotels, in fact their aren't even any Airbnb rentals back there. It's basically a bunch of low class subdivisions for low income Filipinos.....basically a step above a squatter area.

I will surely keep an eye on these people.

My first guess is some type of fringe religious group but I could be wrong , I hope I'm not though.

Why do they have kids with them?

Fucking weird

I wonder if these people could be related to these 2 girls I see all the time

Around the vicinity of TAMIYA and PAKPAKAN ROAD in LAPU LAPU city there are 2 young girls of clear European descent who can always be spotted walking wearing identical clothing, head coverings somewhat similar to what nuns wear but not exactly, and carrying eco bags. I estimate them to be around 16 years old. They have never been witnesses in the company of ANY adults, and the few people who have tried to converse with them have been met with silence. They are believed to be unaccompanied minors. They were recently caught stealing food at a supermarket but released without charge

Maybe they are Muslims judging from head coverings. Plenty of European Muslims, from Chechens to Albanians. Also the great Al-Quran allows one to steal from inifidels as part of Jihad. Maybe they're in Lapu-Lapu city as part of an ISIS cell. After all the Muslim Tausugs and Maguindano like to do we wuzzing with Datu Lapu Lapu and claim that he was a Muslim killed of Magellan. When in fact right in Lapu Lapu City itself there is evidence that they were Hindu instead because of the Hindu God Shiva discovered in archeological digs in Lapu Lapu.

Possible, but a far shot I think

It's definitely not a hijab they are wearing, it's more like like pic related .

They are either twins or very close in age, less then 2 years apart.

Nationality is unconfirmed but their facial features look of northern European descent. They are 99% not south east Asian.

They become almost a thing of legend with people speculating as to where they come from and what the hell their mission is. They are unmistakable, you can see them regularly in the afternoon walking along the main highway the crosses Lapu Lapu city north-south. They are usually around in area colloquially name "Tamiya". They must live near by as they are ALWAYS on foot. They have never been observed using tricycles, getting out of taxis, riding motorbikes, jeepeneys

Cubabro: Intel report #113/ Mongoloid villages of Cebu

If you're looking to visit Cebu as a tourist and you're thinking of renting a condo on airbnb, there's a high chance you'll end up in what I like to call Mongoloid villages, or alternatively, flaming towers of infernos.

What's a mongoloid village you ask?

Well, to put it short, it's a place where they herd all the mongoloids in. These are places infamous for short term, crusty sex tourists and their boricats (prostitutes). Their mostly very small and overpriced studio condos which are basically glorified hotel rooms. It's extremely rare you'll see a good looking and/or well adjusted person living in these places.

And you can be assured, where theirs trash and shit, there will be flies and rats. These places attract some very unscrupulous Filipinos looking to make a quick buck doing various tricks, scams, and schemes.


1. Horizon 101: located in the heart of mango square, this is the tallest building in Cebu. Extremely small units, badly mainted, roaches, wild street kids and badjaos chasing you as soon as you hit the street

2. Avida IT park: although in a nicer area, everyone knows why you're there.

3. Mactan Newtown: Located in Lapu Lapu, they are trying to maintain a facade of being "civilized", but don't let the whole 300 meters of manicured retail space fool you, this is a place of ill repute. Flips working here have a stick up there ass for some reason....the 30k salary and array of simps have spoiled them

4. $aekyung village: Crusty poorfags and even crustier Filipinas living in what I can only describe as an American style project complex. I lived when it was just being constructed, before the crusties moved in. Just ask the trike drivers and the gang of tambays at the front gate about " Boy Un-tol" (bouncy boy)

you don't need anti parasite medication
it is very unlikely you will get anything
if you are paranoid, you can get checked AFTER your trip, since it takes weeks/months for a parasite infection to show up

as for vaccines you should probably have hepatitis series and hpv vaccines, but those are a series so you're out of luck on effectiveness now

hep vaccine is important for traveling in general, since hep b can be easily spread
