Tips
• Dress for the weather – hot! Light clothing
is ideal year-round, and absolutely during the hot and dry months
from March to May. Temperatures average from 78°F/25°C to
90°F/32°C. Mean humidity is at 77%.
•
Never leave home without your rain gear, umbrella, and heavy clothing
during the rainy months from June to October as well as when setting
out to the mountainous areas.
•
Comfortable yet sturdy footwear are best, as traveling the islands
will often involve some walking.
•
When headed to the remote areas, come prepared with an insect repellant
and even your own water in handy containers. Always have the island
map with you.
•
Prepare to hop in a jeepney, tricycle, or pedicab – exotic
modes of land transport that are the most commonly available for
going around. Always bring loose change when taking public transport.
•
Know the transport schedules. Some destinations are only being serviced
intermittently, not to mention extreme weather conditions that will
affect these schedules.
• Casual clothing is acceptable inside churches and business
offices. Dining establishments and hotels impose no dress code but
shorts and slippers are deemed improper.
