Notes on Tourism in the Philippines: What should I pay attention to when traveling in the Philippines?

1, stay away from gambling and lead an honest and clean life. The recent high incidence of kidnapping cases involving gambling has brought great economic and mental harm to the parties and their families. The Embassy in the Philippines once again reminds China citizens in the Philippines that participating in gambling or engaging in gambling (including online gambling) violates the laws of China and Chinese virtues, so please stay away.

2. Pay attention to the safety of water activities. Take part in water sports, please be sure to evaluate your health objectively, and don't try to be brave. Observe the regulations of scenic spots, choose safe water transportation, wear life jackets as required, do not go to unfamiliar waters, and do not go into the water after drinking or taking medicine.

Pay close attention to the weather changes. Frequent typhoons in the Philippines have caused flight delays and accumulated water on roads. Airports and other public places are filled with air conditioners. Please bring enough commonly used drugs, prepare necessary clothes and make relevant preparations.

4. Prepare for admission. Prepare return air tickets, hotel orders, etc. Answer the questions of immigration officials politely and calmly. In addition, don't take pictures at the immigration counter.

5. Keep the identity documents properly, and pay special attention to the visa paper. Don't cut or change its original appearance without authorization. Be careful not to lose the visa paper on the flight and put it in the checked baggage by mistake.

6. Take care of your belongings and don't let valuables leave your sight in public areas.
