So for those cheonging in AC..... please be aware that although you may have barfine a girl.... she may have a jealous partner that could turn crazy and ambush you.
wha man... i remembered this girl. Very friendly and pretty if i recall. Looked like those indonesian model types. Went barhopping with her last year in the bars she worked at. Never barfine her but she was a really nice person to be around. No wonder she disappeared totally from the scene this time when i came by.

The problem with arranging for transportation with ur hotel is that the service is more expensive but the drivers are unreliable. One time I came out of arrivals and there wasn’t anyone holding up a sign with my name on it. I started looking around and finally someone pointed to this guy sitting down on a curb. Turned out he was my driver.
Next time I came out and no one was holding up a sign, so I asked around if there was a driver from XXX hotel and there wasn’t. The driver never showed up.
There are cab drivers around who will approach u. They quote a high price but just act like u know the real price – P300 – and they will quickly come down to that. Note: if u plan to catch a taxi at the airport, get one right away, as there aren’t very many of them
However, the best deal is the air-conditioned jeepney. It’s a long jeepney in white and green colors. They park on the one-way road in front of the terminal as it swings around to the right and goes out to the main road. U have to walk about 30 meters. They are supposed to charge a flat rate of P50 but the drivers will charge more, like P60, ripping off both foreigners and Filipinos.
They are also supposed to leave after they get 10 passengers, but in fact they wait until they have about 30 so crammed in that u can’t move. They know no one is going to complain because the only other choice is a P300 taxi.

As far as I know she only worked at 2 places..... her 1st job was as a dancer in Ponytails before she switched to being a poolside bartender at ABC hotel. Always sad to see someone die so young.... she's just weeks away from celebrating her 22nd birthday.

Some notes n info for newbie to AC that I hope it helps.
1. The airport
It is a very small airport.
There isn't any "official " taxi in Clark aka AC
Tricycle are not allowed in airport.
There is only jeepney at will send u to the bus terminal near field Avenue OR, you can get a Pte taxi in the airport which may quote u high rates.
I personally advise after u book your hotel, get the hotel to cater u a driver to pick u at the price of 400 to 600 pesos until your group is big.
Don't carry too much things to Clark as the immigration officers are well known tring to get $omething from you.
Allowed money into php is only 10kpeso which is about SG$32.
Other foreign currency not more than US$10K but.... still they can give you problem n lastly say "u want me to help u?" And there part of your money will be gone.
It is best u just change 5k to 8k there n if they ask, just smile n reply credit card.
2. Street Smart
There place is all so nearby n really u can walk to here n there.
But beware many hawks around eyeing u beside those bigger n street kids ask for money.
Keep every important things in the safe box
Passport, money, phone.
Just carry enough money on your this moment but not all your money.
Tricycle from point A to B is just 100peso ($3.20).
It's more worth than u lost what's in your pocket.
Cos basically once u are on the street, those kids will rush to u n some will hold your arm hugging u asking for money.
And there they will pick pocket u.
What I do is once they counter me, straight I put my hands into my packets n walk fast away n if necessary, shout them off.
Police are useless there. They are more interested to rob you too than help you.
Welcome to Angeles City ☺
Definitely will be helpful for me.
My flight to clark on 24th Nov.

Very true.
Taking jeepney u must know where it go about n when u should shout for a stop.
Taxi, if there are few around, still ok. But once they eye'ed you. Sorry brother.... you are on the chop board as they will communicate to the rest of the drivers that you are the goat on the field. No other driver will approach you cos they have their rules there. Once targeted you. The rest can't touch you.
