Question

I want to buy something. What should I use to pay?

Answer

Cash is king in the Philippines, especially in smaller towns and local shops. We recommend carrying Philippine peso with you at all times for convenience. While credit cards and Apple Pay are accepted, they’re usually only available in select places—so it’s best to be prepared with cash just in case. Have ₱100, ₱500, and ₱1,000 bills

Question

We are not staying in Oceanica Resort. How do I get to the venue?

Answer

Ask your hotel about transportation around the island, but complimentary shuttle service will be available March 24–28. Please coordinate your arrival and departure times as well as your lodging details so we can arrange transportation accordingly.

Question

What's the weather like?

Answer

The Philippines is tropical, which means lots of sunshine, warm temperatures, and a good dose of humidity. Expect daytime temps to hover around 85–95°F (29–35°C). While sea breezes help keep things comfortable, it’s smart to pack light, breathable clothing, sunscreen, and maybe a hat or hand fan. Occasional rain showers can happen—especially in the afternoons—so a small umbrella or light rain jacket might come in handy, just in case. If you've ever been to any Central American countries, it's the same.

Question

Do Filipinos speak English?

Answer

YES. English is widely spoken in the Philippines, so communication is usually smooth and easy for visitors. The locals are incredibly friendly and helpful—don’t hesitate to ask for directions or recommendations!

Question

How do I get around?

Answer

There are tricycles available, which generally cost PHP 200-400 (based on our experience). These are a cheap and convenient way to get around (fits 2-3 people). Alternatively, you can book a van from the hotel/resort.
