Although preparing yourself for travel is different for everyone, here are some general guidelines for your trip to The Philippines.

Outside the airport is a Grab booth, they can book a Grab taxi for you. Or upon arrival, you can go up (most of the time to the Departure area, better to take a taxi there, less hassle about prices.  Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in Manila has four Terminals, and every terminal is different. In Terminal One, you cant enter as a companion since it is so busy with OFWs (Overseas Filipino workers) at Terminal 3, you can easily go in as a non traveling companion. Terminal 4 is deserted and only for local flights. All airports are near to each other, but traffic can be bad.... so check first. Found a cheap flight? Donate the money...
