Aurora Blv near Cubao, Quezon City. Very cruisy. Sun best in early evening.
Near Gateway, only a few meters away from Alta Cinema. If you've been to Alta, Baclaran or any of the shabby Quiapo cinemas where PLUs abound, Remar is cleaner, bigger and well-ventilated by comparison. To meet younger men, pay P$110 for the deluxe (upper part) of the cinema and you can also cruise downstairs. The lower area is mostly for mature men. It is cheaper (P$80), but you may not be allowed to cruise upstairs.
You'll find cruisers here who usually circle this area on a daily basis from 7-11pm and from 4am onwards (especially when it's still dark). The area for gays is the 'hill' near the ballroom dancing studio.
Merlaco Avenue, inside the University of Life, Pasig City. Fabulous. University guys and serious swimmers, with lots of young, hunky men. The showers team with cruisers. The pool is 50m and clean by Manila standards.
Another hot spot. Cruisng time is usually 6-10pm (there's a curfew). There is a CR near the naked statue on the right side where cruisers usually 'chill out'. Just like in QC Circle you'll also find guys who jog or brisk-walk alone or with a dog. Just look them in the eye to see if they have the same thing in mind.
82 Tirona Hi-way, Mabolo, Bacoor, email. Gay-friendly. Good music and food.
Utopia Member DiscountTaft Avenue, half way between Quirino Avenue and Vito Cruz Stations, not far from De La Salle University. During the day--an eating place for students--but by night it turns into a karaoke bar.
