Sex Tourism, Angeles City, Philippines

I recently set up a new website and youtube channel where I plan on posting my more experimental videos. After 15 years making videos I still enjoy knocking out something just for fun and creativity.

I quite liked Jack White’s version of Love is Blindness and thought it would match perfectly with footage I had from Angeles City, Philippines. Took me about an hour to put this together.

Angeles City was the r n’r street for U.S. Military based at the Clark Air Base 1903 to 1991. Now it mainly caters for sex tourism and most of the clubs are run by South Korean crime gangs.

How did you feel watching the footage, did you feel repulse? Who for? That more than likely depends on what sex you are! http://barefootmystic.com/the-illusion-of-love/

If you were a digital nomad, what would you miss most about home?

I’m taking a six week break in South Korea to catch up on nine months of editing. I have amazing footage from all over South East Asia. Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Philippines, Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea.
Why South Korea and not somewhere cheaper in South East Asia? South Korea has great reasonable priced food and drink, super fast internet, modern cheap accommodation AND I desperately want to catch up on my editing NOW!

Some amazing videos coming out over the next few weeks.

I join Michael and Dan in the Lonesome Carabao Lounge, Michael, a Singapore based finance journalist, set up the lounge, and Dan was returning to El Nido for his second visit.

HOW TO FILM IN DANGEROUS PLACES AND NOT GET ROBBED!

  By Mark Shea | April 2, 2012 - 5:40 pm | , ,

Three tips on how to film anywhere; slums, red light districts, museums, exhibitions, churches, and not get your video camera gear stolen.

No. 1 – Sometimes it is easier to just get your shot quickly without asking permission. But please be aware in some countries filming such things as public buildings can result in prison, so please read up on the laws of each location you visit

No. 2 Street crime is opportunistic and cowardly so reduce the risk of being a victim by particularly watching your back. Most street criminals will try and rob you by following you and approaching from behind, so be aware of your surroundings and if you are being followed just drop into the nearest hotel or cafe and inform the staff.

No. 3 If filming in a seedy or dangerous part of town, it is always handy to be with a local person who has a good grasp of the local language. This way if you do find yourself in a dangerous situation, they may be able to talk their way out of the situation.

Footage features various locations I filmed at around the Philippines including:
Angeles City red light district, walking st and titty bar
Pasil Slum, Cebu
Santo Nino Statute, Cebu
Carbon Market, Cebu

El Nido is often referred to as the Philippines’ Last Frontier. National Geographic Traveler’s magazine, chose Palawan and in particular El Nido as one of the best travel destinations in the world in 2007.

One of the most common tours available is an island hopping tour which takes in the big and small Lagoon, a bbq lunch on an island and some reef snorkeling.

I joined some local “pinays” and did some street food hawking around the Manila downtown area. I tried bbq chicken intestine, fondly called “isaw” straight up from the grill, fried chicken balls, and the much too popular “balut” or the boiled duck egg complete with its embryo, which according to these locals is a good source of protein and serves as aphrodisiac for men.

While staying in the Malate area of Manila, the gay and cheap accommodation precinct, I was confronted by a ladyboy late one night. They tried the old ‘Manila Ladyboy TrouserSnake DeathGrip’ move on me to try and extort money, after I refused a free blow job. I explain the technique I used to break free of this dastedly but extremely effective martial arts move.
