Man, you do have a good memory (at least partial).
Yes, I did tell you and also posted that the Citibank ATM was the best and cheapest option to get cash safely without having to carry too much.
But what you forgot and the details are important, I said I only recommended only seasoned and experience bros that are familiar with AC for using Citibank ATM. Reason was simple. It is not an easy place to reach as the ATM machine is not near any central location. It is about a 15 min walk each way (30min total RT) from Fields. I happen to do it because I need the walk and also enjoy a little stroll away from the bars. If it gets too hot or raining then I usually take the 8p jeepney there and back. The Citibank is on McArthur about another 5min walk past the Casino.
But for most newbies I usually recommend what Ziebart or Rub and B. said, just exchange money at the money changers at the jeepney station near Chow King so don't have to worry about getting lost while carrying all that cash in AC or use the ATM machines (there are several) at the SM mall. These are all more central locations.
Sorry for the confusion guys.
