Here some tips on traveling to Philippines.
( try Accor Hotels for some great accomodation offers)

If you haven't visited Philippines before, you must be missing something. Traveling to Philippines could be your best choice among southeast asian nations. One big advantage is, if you are from a country in which the currency is dollar or pounds, then you can save a lot when you travel to Philippines because your money will be valued more. By way of comparison, if you spend £20 for your lunch, in the Philippines you can go to a nice and good quality restaurant for just a quarter of that amount. Indeed you won't regret traveling to Philippines.

You will enjoy more if you follow these some simple tips:

Learn some basic Filipino words and phrases, like 'magkano' for how much. This is important because Filipinos tends to charge higher the tourists on various transactions, but if you can speak a little Tagalog or Filipino then they would know that you how things are going.

If you want to go 'deeper' into Philippines far-flung areas, your best point of contact is the Barangay Captain or the head of the village. He can give you a trusted guide and people will not take advantage of your being a stranger once they knew that you are communicating with the Barangay Captain. P1000 pesos is more than enough for a guide and that is only equivalent to about £7.

If you lost your way, don't hesitate to ask anyone you met. As long as you speak slowly and clearly, they can put you back in the right track for most Filipinos can speak English though their manners of saying it may be significantly different from yours and the grammar may not be perfect but surely they can tell you the right way to go.

And one last thing before you go, book your accomodation with Accor Hotels City Super Sale for some amazing offers that you can't say no to.
