Money Woes in Paradise

Embarking on our 90-day Southeast Asia trip, we encountered a major setback in Puerto Princesa, Philippines - the struggle of withdrawing money.

Limited to withdrawing only ten thousand pesos a day, equivalent to 150 pounds or two hundred dollars, we faced unexpected hurdles in managing our finances.

Despite the challenges, we found a solution at BPI bank, a saving grace amidst the chaos of financial restrictions.

Navigating Financial Roadblocks

Our attempts to withdraw money led to declined transactions and hours spent resolving issues, highlighting the importance of financial preparedness while traveling.

With the help of local establishments like Drew Hotel Century, we overcame the obstacles and restored financial stability for our journey ahead.
