Question
Currency Exchange, How do I pay?
Answer
The accepted currency in the Philippines is the Philippines Peso. Although Visa/Mastercard (sometimes American Express) is accepted in some commercial outlets (hotels, malls, restaurants, etc) it is recommended to carry some cash on you for more local interactions (street vendors, tricycle rides, etc). When exchanging USD to Pesos, the exchange rate is changing every minute and is generally good at the airport stands. Ensure that you bring "crisp" bills (no writing or tears) and in large denominations ($100 bills). The smaller the bill, the lower the exchange rate may be.
