INTERNAL FLIGHTS

Internal flights are plentiful in the Philippines and have become cheaper since the airline Cebu Airlines started to compete with the national company Philippine Airlines. Cebu tin, however, little presence in the Calamian group of archipelagos. THE SEAIR, ITI and ASIAN SPIRIT dominate this area of ​​the country and charge higher prices than CEBU due to the smaller size of their planes and the smaller number of passengers interested in flying.

TRUCK

They cover most of the largest islands – Luzon, Cebu – and are the most economical solution to explore it, with fares that, depending on the distance, can be below €5. Even if some buses are modern and relatively sophisticated, the Philippine roads are of poor quality and make for dangerous driving, with dangerous overtaking too frequent. Among the dominant bus companies in the Philippines are:

ALPS; VICTORY LINER; PHILTRANCO

RENTED CAR

Philippine roads, like most of the your conductors they are usually too fearless and unpredictable. Some of the roads are in a deplorable condition and exploring the country in a rented vehicle invariably proves to be an adventure in itself.

SHIP

The Philippines is one of the archipelagos with the most islands on Earth. Unsurprisingly, an endless fleet of ferries, speedboats and bangkas (local vessels) connect the nearest islands and points on the same island, not always with the best comfort and safety conditions, so you should carefully investigate which vessel will make a particular trip (and under what conditions) before purchasing tickets. 

The most influential ferry companies in the country are:

Negros Navigation 02-245 5588 in Manila

Sulpicio Lines 02-245 0616 in Manila

WG&A/Superferry 02-528 7000 in Manila

OTHER

The Philippines' national land transport is the jeepney, a jeep to which an extension was adapted and which gave rise to a kind of eccentric and very polluting bus, but, as a rule, economical for the passenger and profitable enough for the owners. You'll find them – and most likely use them – all over the place. 

Complementary to the jeepneys, a fleet of tricycles patrol the streets always ready to serve passersby.
