Good to know before you go
The currency is the Philippine peso and English is widely spoken alongside Filipino. Traffic is famously heavy, so skip driving yourself and rely on the Grab ride-hailing app, the easy, affordable go-to; commuter trains cover some routes but get very crowded. Stay aware of your belongings in busy areas, and the country is welcoming to visitors.
