    I don't recall BDO being all that difficult with opening an account (even with "tourist" status), but ymmv.
    I would recommend staying with one of the major banks to avoid problems with international transfers, but also to avoid getting caught in a bank failure. BDO, BPI, Landbank, PNB all seem solid options.

    If you know you eventually are going to apply for an SRRV BDO or PNB are two of the banks you would be required to deposit your funds into so it would not hurt to start that banking relationship.

    BDO at Rob is probably the only bank that has parking, but you may find that all the parking spaces are full. What my landlady would do is always tip the guard in the parking area P50, they recognize her car, and always find a place for her to park.

    I have an accout at AUB. I needed my passport and drivers license to open.
    Then filled out some paperwork on their I-pad, they took my picture, and I was all set. This was 2019.

    I dont know if they are inked with WISE, but we just wanted and extra account for me since BDO was - difficult
