Clothes are harder to find in Filipina size in the UK, and much more expensive.
You won't really need a very warm coat here until September, and probably cheaper to buy in the UK anyway. Just put more layers of clothes on for your trip, which will also save weight in your bags, plus fill your pockets !
I would agree with packing clothes, shoes, handbags etc in a lightweight bag, cos they won't get damaged anyway.
Put a small padlock on each bag so it does not come open accidentally.
If you bring things like framed pictures, leave the frame at home to save weight. Cheap here.
Don't pack any kind of food, as it will be rejected at the airport here.
