This is one of my favorite times and places of all in Angeles City. Fields Avenue: just before sunset. The town seems to come alive at this time. There’s a certain anticipation spurring in the air that just makes you feel alert and excited.

The video starts off around Dollhouse and goes down past the Dirty Duck, capturing just about everything you’re used to in between. Haphazard construction going on, doorgirls showing off, vendors walking about, honking jeepneys rolling past, the hum of trike motors and the sound of music from inside the clubs.

It appears the new Forbidden City is open to the public now (the first opening was a “soft-opening”, to a group of special members)

Here’s some info posted by James a.k.a. “HotRod” from the Lewis Grand Group on Hot-Asia.com:

“FORBIDDEN CITY – OPENING WITH A BIG BANG DOGHOUSE PARTY…

Tonight the Forbidden City opened up it’ s doors to the customers, for the first time ever…. ! 40 members were expected to visit the Doghouse party that was held there… after more then a hundred, the organizers had to close the doors, cause Tequila Reef, who was previously asked to provide the catering (cause at the Lewis Grand Hotel there were several big events, during the whole week and also due to the proximity of the location), prepared 40 plates of food, with an extra 10 in reserve…was overwhelmed with the demand, coming from all the many members of the Doghouse… and the whole Bar was very soon really full with a lot of interested parties from all over… So, this all proves, that the interest in the new Bar was very high and I’ m sure we’ll hear many more good reports (and we’ll see pictures soon) about the new FORBIDDEN CITY!

Good luck guys and all the best! Wish you lots of success and that the new Bar will be as popular as the Dirty Duck has been for the last several weeks and months. Please look out for more info & pictures!”
