If you head down to Malate/Ermita bar areas around Mabini/Adriatico St and MH Del Pilar/ junction Pedro Gil you should be able to find some expat companions in the small bars. Look for 'Calle 5' halfway down Mabini St to listen to some live bands while sipping a beer...other expats will be in there too.

In Pasay, you need to be at the EDSA complex of bars opposite the junction of FB Harrison and EDSA. (a sort of mall full of expat-type bars as well as girlie bars).

In Makati it is mainly Burgos areas for expats (ignore the bar girls of course ).
...Plus the Greenhills shopping mall area.
