 riving in the
Philippines is just driving in the United States.
Drivers are on the Left hand side. All the road signs
are in English just like in the U.S. Distances markers
are in kilometers and are posted every kilometer. Gas
are sold in liters. If you follow the U.S. driving rules
and regulations you'll be okay.

On
the first 120 days upon arrival to the country, a non
Philippine resident may operate a vehicle using a
valid unexpired license issued by the any state of
the U.S.A. or any foreign country who reciprocate
the same requirements as in The Philippines. If
you stay longer (more than 120 days) then you will
be required to obtain a Philippine Drivers License. You
can go to any local Land Transportation Commission office
(LTC) to get a license. The applicant must be a least
16 years old. International Drivers License is also
acceptable |

MOVING
AROUND THE CITY |
|
There
are no taxis in the City. To go around the poblacion
(short distances 1 to 20 kilometer) you will have to
call a motorcab. (A motor cycle with sidecab good
for 2 people) The fare is fixed if you only move
around the poblacion area (downtown) but if you go out of
the downtown area then you have to haggle with the
driver for the exact fare. No tip necessary but
welcome. You can also hire a Jeepney (local made
vehicle for urban and suburban transportation) instead of
a motorcab.
