    It will depend on the quality of your travel, food and lodgings as to if it will be enough.

    For me usd $1000 per week would be way more than enough.

    I just spent 5 weeks in the Philippines and went way over my budget as I decided to travel with my ex girlfriend and her companions. I had to pay accommodation, meals, airfares, boat trips, including the presidential suite on Trans Asia and other travelling for up to 4 of us. Well didn't have to but chose to.

    We visited Manila, Cebu, Leyte, Bohol and the western side of Iligan Bay in Mindanao.

    It cost me the equivalent of usd $660 per week.

    My original plan was for usd $2000 for 5 weeks which I could have easily accomplished if I didn't travel with and pay for up to 3 others.

    I have been living in or visiting the Philippines since 1994. If you would like to discuss cost in the Philippines privately, write to me at sibbick61@yahoo.com.au
