Thats a bit more than the 274 it should cost http://www.lto.gov.ph/dls_faq.html

as to you getting one to thats scary!!

Keith nearly everyone my wife knows even if they have a few lessons pays a little extra to get the licence via the back door.

In fact i think you would be look at a bit funny if you did do it the normal way it appears

I think yves sums up my views.

Ensure you have a fat bank balance to pay any white man fines or fees etc you find coming your way

I remeber reading of a yank (on a us forum a few years back) who thought it would be a good idea to bike around his area untill he had some form of accident where a phill was injured and then all hell broke loose and his bank balance was far thiner.

Yep! exactly the kind of thing I was thinking of... cars, bikes, motorbikes with a Westerner driver may be at risk! Filipinos always think of a Kano with rolls of 100$ notes in the pockets.

My last advice: do not look like (and act) as an American tourist...
