killah - how much to take a girl out of one of the KTV/strip clubs? easy enough to get a number from them and get a 500 peso short time session from them after their shift?


how is the food in davao?
Last night went to one club, was really nice but the prices were bit high, 300ladys drink, 1500 for vip room with one girl, 2700 for take out girl. Last time i went club here got two girls in vip room 1500 also and one gave me number there automatically. But on street you can pick up girl easily for 500. Well here is lot of eat all you can places for like 130 and they usually have quite many dishes and yesterday got great spicy bicol express on metrocardclub.
But yea i agree food in Thailand much better.

Cebu is both crap flight times to clrk and not available on dates i wanna fly, (my dates are not fleixble almost at all)

Airaisa are still over 11K and not available on my dates. (one way bkk>clrk for end of feb is 6000B, $200)

Tiger is 5kish, bad times and not available on one of the dates i need.

Plus im having my last night in manila anyway so just as easy to fly back from there and its a late night flight so can have late night out in manila and still have all day there before flying back into bkk.

I like airsia and tiger, cebu not so much but to get the best deals need to book way in advance or take advantage of their mega cheap promo deals. I know a girl got return to bkk from manila for 600peaso but she booked like 6months in advance with a promo deal. You need to keep browsing their sites and sign up for the news and promo letters.

You can post an offer on elance.com / odesk.com . There are lots of filipinos there that do VA jobs and you'll be able to pick one with a proven positive history.

The cost of filipino VAs is about 3-4$ per hour for 20-40 hour week jobs on average, but a Manila based one with a good rep will mostly cost you more (expensive city). You should offer more if you need 10 hours or less per week.

A hooker won't be up for that kind of pay and a girl with a normal job won't have the time either so it's best to stick to a pro for that kind of stuff unless you just need basic info.

Should be able to get an personal assistant for about 200php per day and she/he will work 6 days straight with one day off.

ok, thanks for the heads up. 200 php per day sounds a little bit on the low side tho lol. so something reasonable would be like 50-80php per hour?

Depends what you consider "reasonable".. There is nothing wrong with overpaying if your a charitable type of dude.

Wrong.

For 200 pisos a day your going to get a domestic helper, who doesn't understand English and needs constant micromanagement.

The minimum wage in Manila is 456 pisos a day and for that sort of money you should be able to get your self a nice attractive female college graduate, who understands English and has a semi understanding of western cultures and needs.

The great thing about employment law in the Philippines is you can pretty much write what you want in the advertisement. I would suggest something along the lines of

"PA required for simple tasks, recent college graduate with good English skills must be Single Female, aged 21-25 please enclose photo with bio data"

Ive never hired a P/A but we used to pay our live in Maid and Cook 1k pesos a week each and let them have Sunday off, we sometimes gave them extras cause we were nice like that

Right, u can get a mediocre maid with no English skills for ~$100 per month if you provide living quarters. I know for a fact any young girl with reasonable English ability is getting at least 15k per month at the call centers or malls

I'm pretty sure the college graduates would spot the possible creeper klaus from this ad, although it obviously would be optimal to get such employee. prob should up the wage atleast with 200php/h if wanted to expect any hotties sign up.

Yeah your right I never really understood why everyones got to be single to work.

Suppose that means any chick with a job is fair game though. Man theres alot of single chicks in Phi
