Travel Tip

1. Climate
The Philippines is sweltering hot and humid year round, and from mid-May to October is generally the rainy season.

2. Voltage
The local electricity voltage is 220V, but the sockets are old fashioned 110V outlets that are no longer used in Korea, so you will need an adapter.

Both Tagalog and English are commonly used.
4. Currency
The currency unit is peso (PHP).
5. Safety
The Philippines is generally not considered safe. Avoid going out at night alone.
6. Public Transportation
