You’re sitting at your laptop with a map of the Philippines open, wondering: “Magkano kaya talaga?” This guide gives you clear, realistic Philippines travel budget examples in pesos for 1, 2, and 4-week trips, across three styles: shoestring backpacker, easy midrange, and more comfortable travel. Think of it as your Filipino cousin walking you through what a day costs when you’re living on carinderia rice and sabaw versus when you’re saying yes to island-hopping, internal flights, and sunset cocktails by the sea.
