[bearcat982 0]

Flying into Manila for the holidays and need to know where I can find what is allowed. Bringing x-mas gifts and want to make sure I don't try and bring in anything that wouldn't be allowed by customs there.

Bring Condoms from USA. The ones in PI are too small and break easy.

If you bring a bunch of cash, make sure the hundred dollar bills don't have any stamps or pen marks on them. BlackMarket money changers won't take bills with stamps or Pen marks.

And don't gift wrap anything! You'll get extra security check if you do.

Greetings!

I would suggest to bring something for your special one like a perfume, as branded perfumes are three times more expensive back there...or maybe a nice purse and if you you still have extra space, and spot a buy one get two free chocolates promo from here you may take those too...only if its on promo as chocolates can be found in duty free philippines....

The rest i strongly suggest of you to bring ample cash...so you wont have to worry about anything or whatever you wanted to do when it comes to fun...jet skiing for exmple an hour rent is 60to 80$,shopping, eating, island hopping...

Just enjoy and have fun!...

Perfume, Yes.

Purses. Heck we buy Coach and Louis Vutton purses in PI for like $2 or $3 each and try to bring at least a dozen or more home each trip to give to friends/family in USA.

We fly to PI with only a handbag, and return with 2 suitcases of goodies we buy from PI

Looks the same to me and they seem to hold up like any other purse.

I would rather spend $3 versus $200
