The whisky is actually not such a good idea. It's quality is unlikely to be appreciated and if you buy in the UK will be mega expensive. I bought on my first trip and it was drunk by Papa and his mates within 30 mins. They are used to very cheap rum so it's pretty much a waste of money. Give him the equivilent in pesos and he can get drunk for a month. Better to buy something small and personal, like a watch for him and a piece of jewellery for mama. My wife used to load our cases with chocolate until the over weight charges got stupid. Best to buy in the Phil. Be ready though for the extended family looking for gifts, help, investments and inclusion in every trip and celebration.
