Hi all,

We are planning a trip and have a following itinerary so far.

We will be landing at Cebu and staying there for 1 night.

1. Bohol - 3 nights

2. Boracay - 4 nights

3. El Nido - 4 nights

4. Manila - 1 night

Do you think I should change any destination from this?

Thanks!!

This is the first time we are visiting Phillipines.

Hi everyone! May nakapaghongkong na ba dito na nasaktuhan yung lunar new year? I just found out travel dates namin nextyear sa hk is celebration of lunar new year. Hindi ba nakakastress ang pagpasyal dahil sa dami ng tao niyan. Kumusta experience niyo?

Hi. I have plans to go to vietnam next year. Marami kasi ako nababasa yung offload/immigration terms. How it works ba?

1. Upon arrival at Manila airport and after security check with your bags and check-in you will pass an immigration officer and ask you questions?

2. Mas strict ba sila sa first time travellers?

3. How about you're earning minimum wage because you're a private employee but you have sufficient funds to go outside, you could still pass them?

4. What are the docs ba to present for a private employee sa pinas?

Please help. Or if you have anything to add pa.. just give me ideas.

Hi all. I have an upcoming travel with my parents and boyfriend on November, I am a bit worried with my bf and I getting offloaded. Here are some details that might be relevant and the documents that I intend to prepare prior to the flight. This might be lengthy, if you have the time, I would highly appreciate your insights. Salamat.

Mom: 58, Single, Employed - managerial position. Has multiple banks totaling to 3M. Frequent traveller, has multiple entry visas.
Dad: 62, Single, Grab driver. Has 1 bank account with 150K. Travelled through HK, SG, Macau but records are on his expired passports

Me: 30, Single, Unemployed - financially dependent on my mom due to psychological disability (with PWD ID). Has 3 bank accounts totaling to 150K + joint accounts with mom + joint account with bf. Travelled through HK, Macau, Taiwan, SG but records are on my expired passport.
Boyfriend: 32, Single, Employed - sales consultant. Has multiple bank accounts for commissions but only has one bank account (our joint account) that has savings which totals to 20K. First time traveller. Lives with Mom and I, has IDs bearing the same address as us.

I'm mostly worried about me and especially my boyfriend since he is a first time traveller and does not have a lot of money in the bank. Would it be wise if I deposit some money just to rack up his ADB / BB? How much would be reasonable if I were to do this? Or would it raise more red flags?

List of docs I will prepare:
- Bank certificate with ADB
- COEs / company IDs of them
- Itinerary

- Hotel booking confirmation

- Flight itinerary

Is there anything else that I can add? I've read about guarantor letter, is this applicable to us?
