タクシーの適正料金(公式・日中): ₱250 - ₱450 (€3.5 - €6.5). Use the official airport taxi rank or book through the Grab app. Unlicensed drivers outside the terminal often quote 2 to 3 times the metered rate. Agree on the fare or insist on the meter before starting.
Pay the driver or conductor directly with cash when you board. There is no ticket machine or validation step for jeepneys or city buses. Keep small bills ready.
Not mandatory. 10% is appreciated in restaurants when service is good. Small tips for porters and taxi drivers are fine but not expected.
Most restaurants automatically add a 10% service charge. Check the menu or bill before ordering. Prices on menus usually already include or clearly state service charge.
Always choose to be charged in Philippine pesos and decline dynamic currency conversion at ATMs and card terminals. Prefer ATMs attached to major banks. Independent ATMs in malls and tourist areas often add a 200 to 250 peso withdrawal fee.
