I think the tax to which Keith is so correctly referring is the extra, cash only "travel tax" levied at the Philippines airport ONLY to filipinos (not to foreigners) because the filipino lives abroad and therefore buys her plane ticket in the country in which she lives.
The last time we went home, i never pay for the travel tax as the guy from the airport told me that i'm exempted because i am a resident of another country but still have to pay 100 pesos for administrative cost whatever that is.
