    There is a bigger chance you will get the runs out of the airplane food.
    Stay off the chicken, i got myself a visitor from there. (salmonella)


    OH, an also bring dollar to change in to peso. If u go to Manila and have to change terminal, u need to take a taxi. You shoul not pay more than 200p
    to change terminal. Ask the Taxi driver CALM AND EASY, how mutch to other terminal. And remember to bring airport TAX money. (300p domestic and 750 going out)

    Thanksss ,do you know how much peso i am allowed to take in ?,and would i be better taking dollars ,euro or stirling.Ive been told dollars are more widely accepted than the pound.And im also taking a pre-paid titanium credit card,do you know if these ok to use,the staff at my local Western Union said i can use anywhere where mastercard is accepted and at the banks,i need to be 100% sure about this,the thought of taking all ready cash is a nightmare,as i dont have a debit/visa card .
    Thanks everyone so much,good job im on heart medication,im nervous now,God help me October,pleasssse

    hehehe, how are you going to survive until then m8???
    I think just 50 USD just for starters in there, in 5 dollar bills.
    Thats just to get the first taxi, and emergency expences.
    You just have to make shure that you have some form of Visa card or Mastercard. I dunno the way in the UK, but it should not be too hard to convert your normal ATM card. Mostly ATMs in there accept VISA.
    Remember that taxis only accept hard cash.

    hehe, i did all the newbie errors in there the first time

    First of all i did not bring me a pen, so i had to wait long (in manila) to get something to write the imigrants ticket form, and all i got to borrow was an broken old pencil. And in the stressfulfirsttimeheat, that was intense.

    Second i did not bring any money in there, and i was in a hurry to make the other terminal in manila. When we got closer to the destination i flashed with my VISA card, and wondering abot how to pay. The driver whent from coloured to pale in his face, and shaked his head... "nononono i dont take!"
    So i asked "so drive me to an atm then, so that you can get your money."..
    ...and thats why he ripped me off for 500 peso, becauce i had to pay 300. but somehow he did not have change

    Oh my god, i was so nervous the first time, lol i had to go puke in toilet
    when i finaly got into the destination terminal.
    But its wourth it when u se your love waiting there outside mactan, i promise.
