    Yes especially at the airport... For sure...The rates will be fair enough and safe enough....Been cheated/robbed while changing money on the streets before, but never at an airport exchange kiosk...

    If you want to have it change(peso to dollar) here in dumaguete without any BS..you can buy dollars at Optimum exchange or PM me if you need some assistance for bigger transaction.. Local banks usually requires a flight ticket, Purchase order and etc when you want to buy and also they have a minimum amount..

    As with other answers yes you can but just a word of caution, As far as I can Remember the exchange booths are in the Secure area, depending on How much you want to change you will have to be secretive about it. There is a maximum you can take out of the PI as well as bring in, should you pass through passport Control and then get searched, make sure you do not have more that 5.000 peso on you. they may try and say you are trying to export peso before you have chance to exchange it. Just a heads up here my friend.

    You may Bring in 10.000p but only take out 5.000.p

    We certainly do need to be One step ahead

    Thanks Jack, I didn't know it only 5k out. I in fact carried 6.6k out last time in error, after paying the 500php airport fee.

    CONTROL, They, along with every other country in the world wants to know where all the money is so that when they decide to have a "wealth tax", they can simply take it out of your bank account.

    I know it sounds preposterous, but look at what the IMF has been saying for quite sometime and it has had small test seizures in Cyprus.
