We recommend overestimating expenses to ensure minimal stress and maximum enjoyment as you prepare for your vacation in the Philippines! The numbers we use here include a slight overestimate (a 'cushion' fund). We are also hoping to get group discounts with hotels. We will update everyone on our progress!

**Though a trip to the Philippines can be much more affordable, we chose these numbers based off the most comfortable options for our loved ones (i.e. Direct flights, higher quality hotels with air conditioning, etc.). If you plan on a different type of vacation, (i.e. A luxurious vacation with the best hotels, restaurants, and heavy shopping, or a humble vacation with a stopover flight and casual dining), please feel free to disregard this budget. As always, this is only here because it was requested of us and because we want to be as helpful as possible to everyone!
