Bring Your Own Personal Effects
Sling bag/belt bag or small back pack will do. Comfortable/breathable (e.g. cotton) clothes for outdoors, as it tends to be humid; informal clothes for malls (long-sleeved tops or shawl will be helpful for very cold air-conditioned malls); small hat or umbrella for unexpected rains/hot sun; flipflops/sandals/rubber shoes are acceptable. Note: Some hotels/fine dining restaurants & churches may have dress code so inquire before you go. Toilet tissue paper, wet wipes, your maintenance medicines. Point & Shoot digicam and videocams will generally do. For DLSRs, SM MOA is quite lenient, unlike Ayala Malls in Makati. If you'll go for sunset photo shoot, you may bring tripod. Big scarf or shawl to function as picnic mat by the seaside. Bring your bottled mineral water if you're finicky, though restaurants generally give free filtered water.
