Are you ready for a trip to Philippine?
Philippine is popular destinaton from tourists because we can talking to native if we can speak english a little, the prices are lower than other most countries. There are cheaper then USA about One-third, and have warm climate every year. therefore there is a popular vacation spot.
I think many people will go on a trip to philippine for summer vacation. Now, Start looking into a detailed airport rules. it is good to know before departure to the Philippines.
Be prepared enough exchange
The Philippine currency is the peso. The exchange rate is 43 peso equals one dollar. The prices are one-third of US. I remember that the taxi's basic rate was about 90 cent.It's better to exchange into small change Because of Philippine's tipping and overcharging culture. Then, Let me explain with an example why we need a small change.
Maybe you are transferred from the airport to the hotel by taxi when you land at the airport. You should give the taxi driver about 50-peso tip to move Cebu city from airport. A taxi driver also require that. if you give the driver big money, he may cheat that he don't have change. For these reasons, Remember to have the correct change about five 100-peso. We must have the correct change.
If you use Duty Free Shop, Eliminate the evidence
If you purchase in Duty Free Shop before arrival in Philippines, customs officers will take tax about your shopping after arrival. After the end of immigration and before to exit outside, they will search your baggage. Therefore, you have to hide the object which you buy at duty free shop
Although found by them, you can avoid to pay the tax as you give the tip to customs officers less than the tax.
Watch out for people who said he would carry my baggage
After escaping from the airport, you have to catch the taxi for movement to hotel. when you exit the airport, people will come to say that he carry my baggage by taxi. it look like favor. However, they carry 20 steps to a taxi and ask for tips.
Be rejected! That they'd moved the luggage.
