Light Clothing
With a tropical climate all year round, expect warm and humid weather when you land. Pack in light clothing such as cotton tops, shorts, flowy trousers and dresses for a comfortable trip. On the other hand, the Philippine is also known for its rainy season, which lasts for roughly half the year. Don’t get caught in a sudden downpour, always make sure you have a light jacket or sweater to keep you warm and dry.
Camera
Pics, or it didn’t happen! More than posting those selfies or mouthwatering food shots in social media, cameras of all kinds are really handy in documenting special moments during your trip. Something to keep you happy, inspired, and motivated until your next vacation.
