FOOD, GLORIOUS UM...

When it comes to food, here is something out of the ordinary. On the one hand we have those sickening yellow arches and similar establishments popping up all over the Philippines and on the other hand we have the adventure of grub food. In between we have the influence of Europe, North America and Asian cuisine. It is difficult to say the Philippines has its own style but food is so important. You can look forward to familiar dishes tasting so much refreshingly different.

Let’s have a look at something on the edge,   http://youtu.be/_E7umTxxS9I  

 Pinangat na Isda is a dish wherein fish is stewed in a sour sauce. This is one of the traditional dishes in the Philippines. This is made with green mango. Sumptuous.

MEET OUR GAY GUIDES.

KIM is actually one of those guys who participates in pageants. Whether the body is the temple of the soul or just keeping really fit doesn’t matter. His body is a svelte, leopard like masterpiece without those body builder bulges. He will sit and enjoy a few beers with you and you wonder how he keeps that perfectly trim tummy. He just does.

He enjoys people and after graduating college has been working up front with them in various ways. He knows Bacolod as home and because of his involvement with the hotel trade and answering tourists’ questions. He is a bit on the serious side but that’s a product of being dependable. Don’t get me wrong; he smiles a lot and his company is very easy to get along with. This guy is well organized.

TELL YOUR GAY FRIENDS.

So you have already got your Philippines tickets booked and the hotel is just a taxi away but where do you go from there? You ask at the front desk of course and are given a brochure with photos of historic buildings and a beach and the inside of a restaurant that could be on your home towns’ next block.

Outside you grab a taxi and he takes you to a beach owned by a resort so you have to pay to get wet in the ocean. You also think it was strange that the taxi made four right hand turns on the way here. They insist on delivering the drinks to the beach because that costs a bit extra but they tell you it is all part of the service.

You read the snippets about the historic buildings and wonder why you didn’t look them up on the laptop. After reading you know why you didn’t. There really isn’t anything else to do so you lay there telling yourself this is “getting away from it all”.
WE are not like that. 

At any of the cities under our Philippines Gay Tourist banner you can have a personal guide who knows where to take you and how to avoid the rip-offs. How about watching a practice session of the local bare chested football team? It's not in the brochures. This is our home and we want you to come back.  Tell your friends. We have a lot to share.

PHILIPPINES GAY TOURIST

From Bacolod you can take a ferry ride to Iloilo ( pron; ilo-ilo). Get up the back deck with the wind in your hair and get a free facial skin toning. Our guide in Iloilo can show you around but he’d be amiss if he didn’t take you to the famous Boracay beach just north west of the city. It is a longish bus ride but busses are an entertainment in themselves.

There are two main beaches in Boracay and both of them are world famous. White Beach on the west is considered the better but both are superb. With seven thousand islands making up the Philippines it is not short of beaches but a lot of them are privately owned and in the hands of resorts.

There is no specific Gay place in Boracay but the open, friendly, very relaxed nature of semi-clad conversations with willing to chat strangers makes it so easy. You may want to stay a few nights here. If so, let your guide know well beforehand as hotel rooms are booked out on occasions. The Paradise BoraGay Hotel is worth staying at or knowing someone who does stay there.

GAY PAGEANTS.

Take a look at this first,  http://www.mrgayworldphilippines.com/   

Probably because of the Philippines’ tropical weather the male body is so often seen without covering the chest. So it is no surprise that a little extra care is taken to look good. For some, keeping fit and looking great can be a way of life and there are pageants to show how attractive the male torso can be. We can arrange for you to be part of the audience if you’d like to watch the boys showing their assets for your appreciation.

Coming up is the HARI SANG NEGROS ( KING OF NEGROS [pron; neg-ross, not ‘nee-grows’]) on the 29^th December. There are several pageants throughout the year so we will let you know if one fits with your holiday.
