Some notes n info for newbie to AC that I hope it helps.
1. The airport
It is a very small airport.
There isn't any "official " taxi in Clark aka AC
Tricycle are not allowed in airport.
There is only jeepney at will send u to the bus terminal near field Avenue OR, you can get a Pte taxi in the airport which may quote u high rates.
I personally advise after u book your hotel, get the hotel to cater u a driver to pick u at the price of 400 to 600 pesos until your group is big.
Don't carry too much things to Clark as the immigration officers are well known tring to get $omething from you.
Allowed money into php is only 10kpeso which is about SG$32.
Other foreign currency not more than US$10K but.... still they can give you problem n lastly say "u want me to help u?" And there part of your money will be gone.
It is best u just change 5k to 8k there n if they ask, just smile n reply credit card.
2. Street Smart
There place is all so nearby n really u can walk to here n there.
But beware many hawks around eyeing u beside those bigger n street kids ask for money.
Keep every important things in the safe box
Passport, money, phone.
Just carry enough money on your this moment but not all your money.
Tricycle from point A to B is just 100peso ($3.20).
It's more worth than u lost what's in your pocket.
Cos basically once u are on the street, those kids will rush to u n some will hold your arm hugging u asking for money.
And there they will pick pocket u.
What I do is once they counter me, straight I put my hands into my packets n walk fast away n if necessary, shout them off.
Police are useless there. They are more interested to rob you too than help you.
Welcome to Angeles City ☺
