Everything else has to be paid in local currency Php.

Ask your bank before starting your journey!
We suggest to check with your bank the extra charges for each use of your credit card overseas beforehand. This way you can avoid bad feelings afterwards.
We are really happy that we have now several cash machines in Moalboal (some close to us).
Therefore it will always be wise to have some spare Euros or Pesos at hand for cases like this. In cases of emergency you can of course try the cash machine in the next city, but even those are sometimes out of order at the same time.
Cash machine (ATM)
The safest and cheapest way to get cash is at the cash machine (Bankomat) with your credit card.
Cash at the ATM (Bankomat) ensures a regular currency rate, but it costs abt. 180-200.- Php per transaction. Therefore we recommend to take 10.000 Php at once in order to minimize the transaction fee.
