hi,
i didnt check how old this post is... nevertheless, i felt compelled to reply and possibly give some tips.
yep, stay away from karaoke beer house / bar places because they all have this unwritten rule (but has been here for ages) that once you go in, you have to pay for the table charge (or entrance fees) and then a pimp or the girl/woman would come and try and strike up a conversation with you and then invite themselves to sit beside you... before you know it, you'll start getting charged.
there's other places that are good, though, and have smarter/better-educated filipinos.. but also be careful. you can try finding cafe saguijo for some indie/pinoy alternative music. it has 150-200 entrance fee with 1 free drink (the rest goes to maintenance and payment for the bands playing). you can check their website out at www.saguijo.com. i would say saguijo is the other side of those karaoke places and fastfood chains you've been to. the "better" side.
people who go to saguijo normally don't mind other people and don't strike conversations (like scammers do). best to stick close to the bar and if you need to ask, ask the bartenders.
there's other places like saguijo but try it out first.
