How much money should I bring when I visit the Philippines for a month?

Once you are there, $2000 is plenty....more than enough....even if you go after the ladies in the bars in Ermita...near Manila....if you can stay in cheaper hotels for 700P per night ($18)

if you have a friend or relative in the philippines, you have to bring around 5T $, All major credit card are accpeted in the Philippines in case you will be short of money! you can stay on a pension house or in condo unit for hire! about food don't worry they can deliver right at your door step. if you will be alone don't bring to much money. just better to have your credit card ready!!! enjoy....

more info you can check my profile!!!!

Well, that rather depends of if you are staying with friends or a host family. And if you plan on traveling within the country.

I would not travel with less than $3,000 USD, but I travel extensively and do not stay with family. You might be able to chop that figure in half if your accommodations are otherwise and you want to live frugally. But then, what is the fun in that????? smiling.

Have good travel!

well depends where you will stay in the philippines.. i know in legazpi city in bicol region (southeast of manila and the place where the famous perfect cone volcano can be found) local tourist official there said that foriegn tourist are spending an average of more or less 100 us dollars a day. that includes hotel,meal, expenses for daily acitivities including within the city transportation, except major transportation cost such as boat rentals, air fares etc.. try these places... i found this amateur site and the places are very nice...

If you plan on staying in Boracay, a minimum of $200 a day. If your planning on staying anywhere else $60 -100 a day should be good in places other than Manila or Cebu or Boracay. Where are you planning to stay ?......

Depends on what you are doing and if u are using credit cards! If you are staying in an expensive hotel, you will end up spending $150-200/day on room and meals.

generally not more than UD$300 in cash. others than that min US$3000 shld be sufficient for a few weeks trip

it really depends on ur style of living.. or how u gonna spend your month vacation.. compare to singapore and hongkong... philippines is much cheaper and almost comparable to bangkok

let say if your along your can spend P150/day so that's P4500 a month. that is only for your food. if you want to have fun a lot i'll say P10,000 is enough in US $ it's 2000$.

bring at least $2000 if you're planning to go boracay or palawan or planning to go shopping and some pasaulobong to kamagaankan
