This book helped me a lot when I was visiting the Philippines, but there were a lot of ommissions, such as residence visas, work permits, etc. in case someone decides to stay longer... A good way to get around in Manila soon will be the LRT, it's nearing completion with a route following EDSA all the way to Quezon City! Shipping and airplane schedules change so often, putting schedules in the book is only more confusing than anything but it helps to give a good idea. WG & A, Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific etc. all have web sites, and I think these might be more helpful. Internet access is very common in the Philippines these days, but be careful! I logged on in an internet 'cafe' in SM Megamall, Mandaluyong and it took a lot longer to get on than I thought posible! Then the computer misread the data and posted everything in my account erased! the trick is to find good, reliable ISPs and post their info in the book, this might also be helpful.
Book was good but incomplete
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Very informative, however, when put into practice, we found many innaccuracies. Panglao is shite - just don't go- people are blatantly hostile! Bohol is top bannana, as is Boracay. Check out Nadine's coffee shop for a good cuppa, but keep a sharp eye on your jeans if you go swimming - oh and watch for luminous jellyfish!!! The book is very good on practicalities but shite on opinions. Happy travels, love Rhi and Liz XXXX
Our travel was a success. Your book was part of it
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
We spent two weeks in the Philippines, and although it is a short time, your guide book helped us not to waste a minute. As we were using it we realised we could rely completely on it; all your suggestions became a success. Even in the remotest areas your book has accuracy in all the details. And this is something we would like to thank you for: reading this guidebook the taveler has the opportunity to choose according to his tastes since you offer us a wide range of possibilities to fit in any style of travel. We were so amazed at the quality of your book that we gave it to a very kind Philipinne driver that took us thorougout Luzon for four days. We thought it would be a very useful tool for his job. Thank you.
Wonderfully useful guide

I was able to use this guide exclusively while extensively traveling throughout the Philippines over a period of six months. The only thing missing is a map of jeepney routes in Manila. I found myself frequently, and simply, amazed at the accuracy of so many details, even in the remotest areas. My experience in-country was greatly enhanced and a tremendous success, thanks to this book
