So anyway, Im about to send a laptop + digital camera to my GF in philippines (south cotabato, mindanao). I read stories like you will need a licence to use a laptop that uses wifi connection. Is this still true? what is the chance of it disappearing? Is there any tax to pay? The laptop is some years old but the digital camera, laptop bag, webcam, etc etc are all new. I will be using DHL which would cost about £55.

Would they still tax even if it was a gift? used item?

If I have to pay tax, shipping, chance of it getting nicked or broken and other headache to go with it then I might as well not send it and just send her the money to buy it locally

Cheers
I'd just send the money if I were you.
