It’s their “full employment policy” in action. I remember when Spain had old people as attendants in all their public restrooms. Just sitting there in their chairs with a small table with a “tipping jar” on it. Rather disconcerting when they were old ladies sitting there in the Mens’ room!
Thailand has a much worse immigration system. Every 30 days I had to waste many hours sitting around the immigration office. What a waste. PH is more efficient, at least in that respect.
I’m a Balikbayan returning to Manila on August 23…how much is the duty and tax exemption privilege of Balikbayans like me for bringing brand new personal effects and goods for personal use needed during the stay in the Philippines, but are not in Commercial quantity?

I'll be traveling to the Philippines for the first time in December. This will actually be my first time going to another Country. Will there be a problem with me bringing gifts for my girlfriends children? I assume this would not be a problem if it's in a checked baggage. Will these items need to be declarer?
If I'm traveling with my 16 yr old Granddaughter, do we each get to carry up to $10,000? Also do I have to declare gold and or valuable jewelry for personal use?
So I have to declare everything over 10,000 pesos? That's only $180. My phone alone is worth more than that, so this means that I have to pay taxes on all of my clothes and laptop and everything?
Are the items you're declaring also the one you're wearing, like earing, watch or necklace that you're wearing for your personal items that you possess? Or only the one in your luggage. When you arrive at the NAIA and when you depart also you have to go to scan section?

Due to certain restrictions on food habit can we carry sealed pack food items in our checked in baggage? E.g I'm vegan and not sure if I can get vegan across philippines

If they are prescibed medicines from a doctor, you don't have to declare them. You should, however, put them in a clear plastic bag and put in your carry on in case you need to present them.
Hi me and my husband are going to the philippines in 2 weeks and we have to bring 4 new iphones, do we need to declare this online?? And sa cebu airport po kami.
I have a question traveling for the first time to Cebu Do you know of a good travel agency there that can accommodate me since I’ve never been and I know what I want to experience
You can find good hotels with Google maps. I've traveled around the Philippines a few times. You really shouldn't have any issues getting a room. And there's plenty of public transportation too. Just make sure you agreed to a price with a taxi before taking one as they are a bunch of con artists
So do I get it right? In 2 weeks I fly to ph , I don't need to declare my laptop and phone right ? But what about my necklace and rings that I am wearing ?
That was my question also because when you get back home to a foreign country, they will scan your body, and you have to remove it. That's what happened to one foreigner who lost his watch at the airport. It's so dangerous going home there now. Maybe just don't wear any expensive items, don't bring anything except for old clothes and just buy things there to be safe. Maraming kawatan sa airport.
I was told you could only take a certain amount of money with you. Plus I take testosterone injections and the are all prescribed . And what if personal cell phones and clothes
Over $10,000 US dollars you have to declare. If you don't declare it and they find it they can arrest you and confiscate the money. At some point you might be able to get it back if you have proof of how you obtained it. But the Philippines does NOT like to give money back to anyone for any reason 😂 so bring $9,999
I have a question. I'm a U.S. citizen, i plan to visit Philippines soon, my question is do i need the $35,000 insurance policy to enter Philippines?? I'm only staying in Phillipines for one week.
@@kostadinustavalkov1902 Thank you so much for your reply. I'm a U.S. citizen and I'm planning to visit Philippines soon and this is my first time traveling to Phillipines. I'm trying to learn and know what to do to be 100% percent prepared myself in flying to Philippines. I been looking for advice everywhere and Google hasn't given me much advice. I don't know if i need to be fully vaccinated or not before I fly to Phillipines.
@@kostadinustavalkov1902 Thank you so much for alerting me of the requirements. I was so worried and it all seemed very complicated. Because when i looked it up on Google it said that $35,000 usd dollars medical insurance is required to gain entry into the Philippines. I know not everyone had this big amount of money. So i thank you so very much for telling me the requirements that i need. This is a great help of advice for me.
@@RealGaryGibson TSA didn’t open it up??I have my portable chargers, vitamins in there that could be a possible cause for search by TSA..Where did you get your Saran Wrap????
@@philspaseo2377 No TSA did not open them. TSA has a pretty fancy screening machine that looks for stuff that's a threat to the aircraft, not your chargers and meds. I had my bags wrapped at a wrapping service at the airport near the check in counters. Cost was $15/bag. Well worth it in my opinion to help keep thieves out.
