Anyway, if i need more, I used the bank that has lowest rate. Last time DBS had some promo with BDO I think .. then the atm withdrawal is cheaper.
Everything else, like hotel and such, I use card, so I can minimise cash transaction, and anyway, cards are safe ....

Sorry, I mean BPI. If the atm is not in a safe place or needs a far away trike ride, don't be stingy. Stick to the nearest atm.
The charges are per transaction, maximum of 10t. Better take out 10t in one go, instead of smaller amount.
Survival tip: Make sure nobody is watching you, and quickly put the money in the pocket, instead of counting and advertising your withdrawal. I saw one caucasian casually counting the money, and when he moved away from atm, a trike stopped to pick him, and he got in without second thought .. Not sure what happened to him .. Be safe ..
