Hey Maump -
I am planning a trip to the PH next year and was thinking of flying into Angeles City as a jet lag reccuperation stop. I looked online and I see 10-15 gay bars clustered abound the SM City Clark mall.
You reported few if any gay bar. Did you check any of the google identified gay bars?
I am still planning on resting up a couple of days in Angeles and would like to relax and recuperate from flying.

As an aside - In the past I have used Fale GPS to spoof Grindr but now Grindr detects the use of a fake GPS app and does not send you to the fake GPS location so I guess I will need to wait until I get to the PH to use Grindr.
