Once your plane landed in Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport. You should go to get your cash, and make sure your cash is changes like 500 or 100 peso. Don't carry big amount of money with you, Because the taxi cabs might never give you changes if you pay 1000 peso. Once you are outside of the airport make sure to find a miter taxi cabs or yellow cabs. Note Manila Airport is very busy, and there is not many taxi stands so you need to be smart and act like you been in the Philippines many times. If the driver ask you, if your first timer or have you been in the Philippines before. Just answer yes many times. Be sure to search your hotel location, so you know where exactly your going, don't let the Taxi driver fool you.
Make sure your hotel has a safe deposits box, It is very important for your own safety. If you go out bring only little money with you. Put your id, credit card, in your boots. Leave all your important things in your hotels safes deposits box like passport, ATM, and all important things. If you are single man be careful of the Filipina in the bar, be sure not to drink to much. Maybe the next morning you end up homeless.
It is very important to be careful than sorry, don't fall in love on the girl on your first time seeing her. Make sure to know her better and I think honesty is very important either good woman or bar girl if you accept them that is good. Note: if I were you its better to go in Cebu City than in Manila. Its more safe in Cebu city and less traffic. Manila is very heavy traffic, half of your vacation time is going to be in the middle of stop lights hehe. But that just my opinions, It is up to you.
You can also visit Davao City, Me and my husband visited Davao City last year. I actually love Davao City it is very cheap the food, you can explore the Public Market awesome fresh seafood, Fresh fruits, Fresh vegetables,. Only one time I was afraid there, When me and my husband go to Samal Island and it happens the kidnapping there. But I still think it is safe to travel there, just be careful and stay in the city much safer. Okay guys I hope this little tips would help you, Good luck.
