Not sure which provinces you are referring to, and they may not use the term barfine, but they most certainly allow take out (although costs are higher than Angeles or Subic)in EVERY province I've visited (and that is many).

I'm also not sure why you omit mention of the real motherload which is not in Luzon at all, but South in the Visayas region and Mindanao . You are sure right about the flakiness of semi pros; always have a backup plan in case.

I meant that La Union is within Region 1. I didn't mean Ilocos Norte or Ilocos Sur per se.

I said provinces, but here are the places specifically: Cabanatuan City, Naga City, and once in Tarlac. My primary purpose was to visit friends/family, and I just monger-ed opportunistically.

Actually, in each case, I never asked the "mama" or the "papa". I just asked my friends or the girl about barfining. I would think the other bars in Tarlac would let you. Either way, I didn't mind meeting up with the girl the next day.

I've never been to Visayas (except Cebu) or Mindanao. I didn't even monger in cebu. I'll be digging up ISG on that.

That happened to me, but I did see her two days later. I simply think it depends on each girl.
