Here are 5 focused travel tips for the Philippines

Описание: 1. Passport & Entry Requirements

Make sure your passport is valid for at least 6 months beyond your arrival date. Many nationalities can enter visa-free for 30 days, but it’s smart to check current entry rules before flying. Keep a digital and printed copy of your passport in case of emergencies.

2. Budget & Money Management

The Philippines can be affordable, but island-hopping adds costs.

Bring cash, especially for remote areas where ATMs are scarce.

Budget for transport between islands, which can be more expensive than expected.

Use e-wallets like GCash when possible—they’re widely accepted in cities.

3. Airplane Flights Between Islands

Flights often connect through Manila or Cebu.

Book inter-island flights early—popular routes (e.g., Manila to Coron or Siargao) can sell out.

Factor in possible delays when planning tight itineraries.

If you check in luggage, be mindful of weight restrictions on smaller aircraft.

4. Hotels & Accommodation Tips

Accommodation ranges from budget hostels to luxury resorts.

In popular areas (Palawan, Siargao, Boracay), book in advance during peak months (Dec–Apr).

Check if the hotel has backup generators—valuable during island power outages.

Read recent reviews to confirm Wi-Fi reliability if you need to work.

5. Clothes & Safety Essentials

For a tropical climate:

Pack light, breathable clothes, swimwear, and a rain jacket (for sudden showers).

Bring reef-safe sunscreen, insect repellent, and a dry bag for boat trips.

For safety: avoid isolated areas late at night, secure your belongings, and stay aware in crowded markets. Filipinos are generally friendly and helpful, but it’s smart to stay alert like anywhere else.
