    Theres a departure tax (only applies to Filipinos) of about 1700 pesos and the airport Terminal fee of about 750 pesos. These figures might not be up to date.

    Yes, travel tax (standard for all Filipinos leaving country) has been 1620 pesos for years now.

    They put the airport departure tax (which ALL travellers have to pay) up to p750 for a while, but then dropped it back down to the original p550.

    Yes, I seem to remember something like that (for Filipinos using their Filipino passport).

    It will all be on the Phils govt. website somewhere.

    When I left Manila Oct 2011, I was on fiancee visa that time.
    I paid 1,620-PHP for travel tax and 750-PHP terminal fee.
