Polish933 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Hey guys, long time reader, first time poster! My friend and I are going to Manila and Cebu in late Nov/early Dec and are looking for all recommendations, really. Bars, clubs, restaurants, massage places - it’s all good. In Manila we are staying in Malate area, in Cebu in Cebu City. Would really all appreciate all your kind help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterRS Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 @Olddaddy seems to know a lot about the Philippines. You might consider sending him a PM. Polish933 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend stayed in Makati and he said it was non-stop 🤨 Polish933 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R these types hornier? I have a German friend that was just there, he told me to stay in that area next time, apps were nonstop. I asked a couple of Pinoy massage guys I met in BKK, they told me to stay there....it's where I've booked my Feb stay to see how it is.

floridarob Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 I totally forgot about this site: https://peoplelikeus.activeboard.com/ You have to message for admittance, took me a few tries..I think they only approve once a month or something like that. Lot's of good reviews/pics there. Here's a place in Pasay that I never knew about: https://fhmasseurs.wordpress.com/ And a bar in Quezon City, not sure if they do offs, from what I see you pay for them to sit and drink with you, try to arrange something later? yp11 and eurasian 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makati is a very trendy and bustling newer area with some luxurious outdoor malls (e.g, Glorietta and Greenbelt in the Ayala Center area) for cruising, drinking, eating, and people watching. Like everyone else, local gay guys love going to the Makati malls to hang out, see/be seen, and have fun. It's always crowded. I stayed in a hotel right in the Ayala Center: Holiday Inn & Suites Makati. It was pretty nice. Using apps such as Grindr will help you find lots of new friends in this part of Manila and elsewhere. floridarob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12is12 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Thx Marc (-: Does the hotel allow visitors? Any venues beyond apps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hojacat Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I would also recommend the area around BCG. It's super popular with young people. Some of my Pinoy fwb both in the Philippines and at home have recommended me to stay there next time. I stayed in Makati last year, at a small hotel. They was never a problem getting guests in. some got registered at the check-in, some didn't. I think Malate has ceased being a gay area in the last 10 years. I still remember the go-go bars though on my first trip to Manila in 2009. The gay venues in Manila are kinda spread out, so you don't have something like Silom. none of my friends recommended saunas in Manila, so I didn't check any out. floridarob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
