    Very cheap to get better insurance than the LTO crap, though I have no experience if it's cover if an accident happens. Personal I will never drive any vehicle without legal papers, I don't care about numberplates as long the paperwork is done and I drive legal

    The same as any long nose: pay for all damage and medical bills regardless of who was actually at fault. :wink:

    Having an accident is not related to having official metal plates. You are still legally registered and insured in a useless but mandatory plan. I usually let my Filipina wife drive due to the problems when a foreigner is involved. However, if I were driving and somebody got hurt while rear-ending me (as an example of it not being my fault), I would not follow the advice to pay medical bills etc. unless a court determined it to be my fault. I would get an attorney. I don’t care if it costs me more. Sometimes ‘principle’ is more important than money and no, the system is not so corrupt that the foreigner doesn’t have a chance. If the case went to court, I’m not sure what the plaintiffs would pay but as defendant I would probably pay about 50K for legal costs. No question, I would pay it, just as I did in an unrelated unjust situation where I paid and won.

    Get proper insurance, not that LTO crap that covers P5k liability damages and you may have better luck.
