When changing currency within the
Philippines,
Avoid if possible street money changers. They might give you
good exchange rates but some are just
plain unscrupulous (you do not know if the currency they are giving you are
genuine or fake). Change currencies in banks, malls or shopping centers. Some
travelers no longer recommend Travelers Check. ATM’s and credit cards are more
highly recommended. Though be careful of bank charges. Visa, Master card is
widely used in the Philippines.

Pregnant Filipina Fiancee or Spouse:
My K1 Fiancee or K3 Spouse is pregnant with my child. She's in the Philippines
I'm in the U.S. What are our options if she gives birth before she is able to
arrive into the U.S.A.?
If the child is born before she arrives to the USA then the father must
return to the Philippines and register the child at the US Embassy to become an
automatic US Citizen.
If the mother can make it onboard a flight without being considered a high
risk then You shouldn't have any problems? Before the expecting mother goes to
the US Embassy for an interview the US Sponsor must send a letter notarized
stating that he accepts responsibility to the situation.

in the Philippines. 1 out of 7 Filipinos have Hepatitis and some do not even
know it. Get your Hepatitis vaccination if you plan to eat local food or fool
