Hi Tuft249,

I always take a little bit of peso currency to tide us over during the first hours in Manila - things like taxi from airport, terminal fees for domestic flights, etc, but the bank is right, take a debit card to withdraw cash, safer than carrying cash.

If Elsa and I are off to Tacloban, we normally spend a day in Manila first, then fly to Tacloban. After a long flight from the UK, the last thing you want is the chaos and disorder of the domestic airport to contend with, better to rest first.

Have you booked a hotel yet in Tacloban?

If you dont prebook, get a taxi to the domestic airport (100pesos), the official ticket offices are outside. If they are fully booked, there will be touts outside who can fix you a ticket for a large fee.
