guess it depends where you're coming from?? well... if youre from the province.. consider your plane tickets,travel expenses.. if you dont have place to stay here for free... you need to get an accomodation, a room in cherry blossoms i guess its around 1000 - 1200 per night...... it depends how long do u want to stay here in manila... and for the medical... its $95...check USEM for further details on the price... consider food and transpo too....

the early u purchase your tickets, the lesser price you will get. cebu pacific has a promo for that.

I just bought a promo PAL ticket this morning (2 weeks advance) , and I got it around 2,300 one-way. So, I think with 5,000pesos, you can have your round-trip ticket already.

If you want, you can check their fares online, so you can have the comparison on what day the tickets are cheap. Visit to PAL's website. http://www.philippineairlines.com/

Muntinlupa is very far from USEM. I suggest you search for Manila map in the net so you'll get an idea. Plus also add the fact that the traffic here is very bad.

san carlos mansion is cheap also for 850 or 900pesos. the room is big enough for 2 to 4 people. u can ask somebody from here or the other forum to stay/share the room with you to save some.

its along UN road and just a walking distant also to SLEC and embassy.

You need to check out Cebu Pacific's website daily or subscribe to their mailing list (or SMS alerts) so you will have the first-hand news whenever they have promos.
