Went into Natwest today to get 10,000p and they can't get any at the present time or know when they can in the future. :NoNo:

They've never had this problem before. :anerikke:

Not many banks do:NoNo:...you have to order it and the rate is not good normally....better exchange it when you get there , plenty of pesos in the Philippines, black market gives a good rate so ive heard:cwm25::biggrin:

Myself and Fred have them all hidden under our mattresses here in the Philippines. Don't tell anyone!
You can easily change some of your pounds into pesos at the airport. Not sure if the rate you would get in the UK is better.

Just make sure you have enough for a taxi and then change your money up in the mall when you arrive. Much better rate than here. The banks have the worst rate i've found

Think I will do an exchange when I get there. Got around £15 in peso's from last time and my two visa cards too as another option.
