3. Agogo bar (continued...)
EDSA Complex: Suitable if you stay near NAIA (Ninoy Aquino International Airport) or has short stay. There are like 10 bars in one buildings, so it's not like a street. Nothing special worth mention compared to P Burgos, except here I encountered more of what AC has: Ring bell (one round drink for all gals, so to speak) and whatnot. Not really see those happen in P Burgos. The common rate here: SML 140P, LD 340, BF 1950. Yea it sounds cheaper than P Burgos. However for some reason the girls here are more "pricey" for boom boom.

If you don't know already, In Manila, BF only grant you the right to bring girls out, the girl will expect extra tips from you. Typically with little nego, P Burgos girl will agree to 3000P till next day 10am or so. But in EDSA, after few try, all girls insist ST (till 4am or so, abt 3 hours typically) for 3000P and LT (till 10am, say) for 5000P.

Now in term of BF and Lady tip for real fcuk job, some gwailo posts claim they never pay more than 1.5k for BF and never more than 2k for LT with lady. So all the typical BF, lady fee that we pay are said, by gwailo, to be "newbies jack up the price". By newbie they mean new gwailo as well as Korean and Japanese -- they are the suckers of all. However I doubt that can be the case. Probably they are bargaining for price rather than the goods... i mean in agogo bars you can see some quite scary dino running around. Maybe the 1.5k/2k is for this kind of stock? Anyway any bro has success story of 1.5k/2k BF/fee story do share here, haha.

Anyway, few things can be done for your budget:
a. nego with mamasan on BF, quote the quantity of the LD you bough and you may get few hunderd Peso discount on BF. However usually this is done by cutting out the share of the lady -- BF is shared by mamasan/manager and lady with large portion to mamasan. After all the lady got commission from LD (I was told 100 on 390 LD). In term of the lady fee nego, it's really between you and lady. Your charm may work. It also depends on how desperate she needs the money. IN short, game still needs to be played.
b. don't BF her. instead, slip her a piece of paper with your local mobile number and she'll call you, typically after work at 4am. However the girl can get in trouble for this so be sure your paper slip, and your phone record, will not be seen by any ladies in the bar.
c. if 4am shaq is too tiring, ask her to come to you before her work. Typically they start work at 8pm. They wake up at maybe 2pm. Depends on her location and traffic (and they have the habit to be late), you can have ST of 3 hours or so before her work. nego the price. I'd think 2.5k is fair enough i supposed? Note that if the lady is absent from work without valid reason (MC, Mens, whatever) she needs to BF herself. Some bar even mandate that absent lady needs to find a substitute, not just BF. Yea it's the insane rules of the Night Underworld.
