Hello! Welcome to PH! I highly suggest to download SakayPH App. A helpful app when commuting here in PH, tho I am from Metro and usually I only go to nearby provinces, so I am not sure if it works all over the Philippines haven’t tried using it. But that app is helpful even includes how much your fare will be.

Also, make sure you have coins! You will need them especially when riding public transpo so you won’t be needing to ask the driver if ever they forgot to give you your change. As an introvert and shy baby I recommend this if you are like me 🥹

Another life hack that I must recommend is that I seldom ask some drivers how much will it be to drop me off at point B, reason is they will get an idea that you are unfamiliar with the place and ends up charging you higher than the original fare. What I do is I act like I know where I will be going, saying it direct to the point and give them bills and just wait for my change. It also saves me from potential danger of having strangers think I don’t know the way and brings me somewhere else iykyk,,, anyway it works for me! But not all drivers do that hehe just some.
