    You're allowed to take up to the equivalent of 10,000 Euros out of the UK without having to declare it and up to the equivalent of $10,000 into the Philippines without declaration, so you should be fine

    I don't think you will have a problem with the cash limit but be careful in Philippine Airports lots of horrible stories going in there.
    Spread your cash , put some in your wallet/in your bag/in your trousers front pocket/in your sunglasses case.

    Good advice. I do that everyday whenever I leave home. Even though I only carry small amounts.

    Even in my shoes

    I learnt from Fred.

    You can carry up to equivalent of 7000 dollars cash without declaring it, the wife and I carried £7000 cash between us when we moved here from the Philippines!

    .................................................... 's certainly what the link states ... . And 10,000 Euro doesn't equate to £10,000 sterling. Not yet, anyway!

    But I'm surprised the British Government site has based its calculation on the European unit of currency - as opposed to our own - it strikes me as ANOTHER indication of how much we're dominated by the EU, sadly.

    The British Government's advice simply copies the current Philippine regulations which do not mention Sterling at all. Unlike the Euro or US Dollar, Sterling is not considered to be a major currency here and therefore doesn't rate a mention.

    Which is strange, as anyone who understands the currency markets knows that the GBP is regarded as much safer and far superior to the EUR.

    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
