The Philippines is a beautiful tropical country in Southeast Asia. The humidity that can be felt at noon time is almost unbearable. To be able to cope with this natural feature, it is best for travelers to pack clothes that won't absorb heat and will allow entry of air, like light-colored tank tops, sleeveless shirts, and walking shorts. It is also good to wear open-shoes rather than leather boots, as well as a cap or sun visor. These gears will ensure a comfortable and fresh tour around the country.
In addition to this, a more important thing to remember in touring the Philippines is that scammers are plentiful especially in areas where tourists abound. Money-changing booths are sometimes a decoy for counterfeiters and for those tricksters who do not give the exact equivalent of the money being changed. Muggers and pickpockets also abound in some places. Travelers should be wary of these risks so as to have a terrific time in the culture-rich land of the Philippines.
