    Can anyone recommend a good money belt for travel to the Phillipines

    As the title says, Can anyone recommend a good money belt for travel to the Philippines ?

    I have looked at a few.

    Just wondered if anyone has used one to go there and found them good, secure and discreet.

    I got one of these which you can wear around your neck and it sits flat under your clothing. Steel wire runs through the neck strap so it's very secure.

    Yep, those flesh-coloured nylon fabric ones that tie around your waist and won't usually show, even under a T-shirt.

    I also have a (hollow) leather one that was custom-made for me in the Phils .

    The zips and buckle on money belts show up on scanners so you have to remove them. On two occasions i did have to show what was in the belt so don't carry too much money as there is a limit on how much you can take in. (not that anyone normally takes any notice). Best to put cash in more than one place and carry a cash card like Caxton.

    I was meaning for when you're out and about in the Phils (fabric hidden belt).

    Going through the airport I either wear my leather money belt, which looks like any other leather belt, or don't bother wearing one at all.

    I got my mahal to carry the cash on my last visit. All I had on me was the odd 20 peso note.
