Money and costs

The currency of the Philippines is the Philippine Peso (PHP). ATMs are common only in major cities and, as a rule, work with foreign cards. Credit cards are accepted in most upscale establishments.

The Philippines is one of the most accessible countries in Asia. If you're on a low budget, know that, if you sacrifice some comfort and refinement, it's possible to travel across the country for less than €60 per day, except for days when you have to change island, in which case flights will force you to spend more.

FOOD

One of the most affordable in Asia. It will never be for the price of meals that you will not miss visiting the Philippines and, if you want to eat with refinement, you will almost always have to choose from.

ACCOMMODATION

The same principles as food. With the exception of Manila, in high season, you will always find small guest-houses and hotels with vacancies at very affordable prices. At the same time, the country is well endowed with sophisticated resorts, especially on its most irresistible coastlines.

INTERNET

The problems intensify as the distance from the biggest cities increases. Still, even with speeds and stability that leave a lot to be desired, you'll find Internet cafes with connections at the price of rain all over the nation.
