Anyway, arrived at Manila international airport terminal 3
Once cleared customs, there is the Telcom stand. Bought Global SIM card cos Global is the biggest provider and also long q... Hehe
5 days peso500 15 days peso800 & 30 days peso1k
Buy before you exit cos cannot re-enter
After that proceed to the Yellow cab which is on the extreme left corner
Avoid the White cab though they will show you they are authorized as advised by Bro here

As I'm going to Makati, pay another peso20 for highway toll
Total cost for cab is peso300 including tips

Taking Uber black car, didn't try the UberX. Cost peso150-200
Very easy and even 3am is available

So remember to download the apps before you fly

Will be here til 3rd July if any bro wanna meet
I don't know about Globe .. but I always preferred Smart Both the operators suck when it comes to internet, as at some places, Globe is good, other places Smart works fine, but not both at the same time, even in Makati City Center area.

And you can get the Smart SIM Card in Singapore, so you can hit the ground running.

Agreed, about the yellow taxi.

Smart data rates are like follows:
2G/3G/4G: 50 peso, 1 day unlimited internet
2G/3G/4G: 299 peso, 7 days unlimited internet
2G/3G/4G: 995 peso, 30 days unlimited internet

Smart, you can load from Singapore, and online.
