Pack Light and Go!

by shngal12

Pack light and just a back pack than a luggage bag with wheels...it'll be hard to pull it on the fine sands of boracay. Don't forget to bring a belt bag or a small bag (waterproof at least) where you can put your camera, towel, sunblock,cellphone and etc., whenever you go out of your resort. shorts, tank tops, shirts, swim wear, crocs or rubber slippers, cap, shampoo, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, petroleum jelly, soothing gel, and there are stores and drugstores also in the island where you can buy medicnes if needed. digicam is a-ok or underwater camera is even better! small flashlight and a cap.

Geez, i left my toothbrush!

by matet910

First of all, we must think of what type of luggage and bags are most appropriate to bring in a certain location where you decided to spend your vacation or anything that's related to traveling.It depends on when, where, and how many days are you going to spend it and whom you are with.If you're with minors that are needed to be fed with feeding milk, feeding bottle bags should be included in your bags lists.When you’re planning to trip around the world, a stroller bag is a must since you needed more space and more luggages to bring.I suggest to also bring pouches for a more organized luggage wherein you can put your toiletries, make-up, first aid kit, shoes and sandals separately. For clothings, bring a pair of jeans, shirts, undies, a jacket(for cold places), swimming suits(for beach bums), shorts, socks(if a must), formal outfits(if on a business trip), night dress, robe, scarf,...

Action Asia Adventure Guide to THE PHILIPPINES

by hunwagner

An outstandingly informative and beautifully illustrated, 520 pages long guide to trekking, diving, rafting, surfing, biking, rock-climbing and ecotourism throughout the country. Covers plenty of truly obscure spots you won't find in any other guidebook.Unfortunately, as with the Moon guide, it is now out of print and unlike with that one, you would have to search hard and be very lucky to locate a copy. If you do find one, buy it quickly!!!

Moon: Philippines Handbook

by hunwagner

My favourite guidebook to the country. It is certainly the most detailed one, covering every single province, and has info on lots of remote places way off the beaten track.Excellent cultural background, too. However, its practical details are now rather dated - back it up with the next book for those.

Tropical sunshine

by Orange_traveller

You can find great bargains here so, I suggest that you bring one big suitcase. Since this is a tropical country, bring clothes that are airy. Sleeveless tops, cotton shirts and blouses are good with a pair of jeans/shorts/pedal pushers. If you will go out at night, jeans are still the main stay here but paired with a dressier top. Slacks, cute skirts are good for going out at night, too. It is best that you wear sandals that are very comfortable. If you are heading to the beach, two piece bathing suits are a good bet to bring. You can actually do all your shopping for clothes in the Philippines since as I have said, you will find a lot of good, affordable, chic and trendy clothes. For men, shorts and jeans are good for touring around. Slacks are best worn for a night out. Take note also that there are high end bars in Manila that don't allow flip flops or open sandals. If you are going...

Filipino (Tagalog) Phrasebook

Even though English is widely spoken, learning a few words in the country's other national language can be fun, and in fact useful if you go really far off the beaten track.This new edition actually contains words and phrases in various major local languages in addition to "Filipino"!

How Big/Small Are You??

by AlbinoPrincess

As many others on this website have mentioned, you can buy just about anything you need in the Philippines. However, women, beware! If you are larger than the average Filipina, you may have trouble finding clothes that fit you. When I was in the Philippines, I gained some weight. I went from a U.S. size 4 to a size 6/8. I had to go to the Speedo store to find a bathing suit big enough for me. The extra large swimsuits at Gaisano's were too small!!Also, I have an hour glass figure and it was difficult finding clothes that fit because of that. Filipinas generally have fewer curves than I do.

Check before you plug in!

by flypd

If you're traveling to Manila from the U.S, you may be bringing along a small appliance (such as a hair dryer, a cellphone or camera charger) that runs solely on 110V. Ensure that it takes dual-voltage (110V/220V) or you could damage your stuff. Many hotel rooms still have only the standard 220V electrical outlets. Be wise & bring along your own transformer like the kind you can get at Brookstone stores. I wish I did.On my trip there 2 weeks ago, I was cautious enough not to charge my cellphone when I realized it only took 110V. I relied too much, however, on the hotel having a transformer I could borrow. Good news - they did. Bad news - they had but 1 for the entire hotel of 100 rooms! It had a LONG waiting list too! And to my dismay, there wasn't a single 110V outlet in the entire property! It was total frustration then helplessness after my cell phone went from low-bat to dead....
