On one hand the city is becoming increasingly popular as a tourist destination, particularly for visitors from South Korea. FYI this article covers adult topics and includes a couple photographs not appropriate for kids. Plus, Angeles City is just over an hour from Subic Bay , versus the four hours it takes to get there from Manila. Where the working girls in Subic Bay will flock to you deep, they will surround you deep in AC. It was my third or fourth time to the Phils before I ever made it out to Angeles, largely because of my now Filipina ex.
My buddy Ron and I had made plans to go during several earlier trips, but each of those fell through because my ex would find out. Because for many years AC has had a rough reputation, to say the least. Most people go there simply to be bad. But not me, I have my angel back in Subic. Even so, I was curious to see the city for myself and escape the monotony of Subic Bay , at least for a few day or two. Then in nearby Mt. Pinatubo erupted and the contact on the US military was not renewed by the Philippines, so by the end of the year things began to die down.
Balibago district is home to many bars and karaoke joints. It has of a number of clubs which fit any budget and personality. International companies such as bondara and loveplugs are among the first to set up in this district. For endless evening of dancing and pulsating music, head for the bright lights of Balibago. Fields Avenue and McArthur Highway are the places to head for go-go bars, comedy bar shows, sing-along or karaoke bars, nightclubs and drinking beer β it is a non-stop pleasure trip seven days a week, days of the year.
In the end, at least for me, Angeles City was not for me. Easily bored by golf, not a fan of shopping and not wanting to cheat on my angel back in Subic, there was nothing for me. I travel. Adrenaline junkie. Eater of strange foods.
