Not raelly that huse maybe just $5000 but we are 8 big size guys guarding it...lol...

I dunno.
Haven't go Lucky Plaza yet.
Can see the rates posted on the remittance shops.
Usually about the same as the rate in AC.

If u going to change 1 lump $5k, i suggest u bargain.

8 big size guys is no match for 1 street punk with a semi auto.
Use brains....Not brawn.

We are intending to change a huge sum, do yu advice changing here or A.C it self.Pls advice Bro's


Thansk Much

Ac rate will be slightly higher if u change in town.

Btw,must remember the peso limit to bring in and out per peson is only 10000peso(sgd 290+)any more than that must declare and get approval.if u get stop and check when u arrive at Clark airport without declaring and dunno what offical letter I forgot will be confiscated.end of your holiday at arrival!

But one can bring in or out other currency up to equivelent of 10000usd.

Beware of the custom officer when u exit Clark also.they try to come up many pattern to my last 500-600peso of loose change hinting for tip and asking some sgd note as souvirnir from my buddy.

Hi Samster, Just return from AC for my regular R and R yesterday. went to santos bj street and check out those bars around. was quote P1200 for BF and action behind close door at P300.A number of bar were offering promotion at P85 for 2 SM beers along Field Ave.but you must bring along the flyer they give out.Tropix barfine is at P1500. but selection is limited. Witness the ground shaking on Tuesday morning @0125 and everybody were going as per normal.Exchange rates is P34.8.Anyway Bro can try western union, i change mine there and was surprise to be given p35 on tuesday.Pm me if anyone needed more infor.

Good luck to u.

I usually

1) Remit money to my bank account there and withdraw using ATM
or
2) Change daily with the rest of my money in the hotel safe (although not the safest)

Yes. You see 2 money changers besides each other. 50 metres from Chow King. Zennie Money Changer. I have told her that I mentioned her shop to forums and she has agreed to give good rates for S$ and RM.
When changing money, go into the tattoo shop and count in there. She has a window in the tattoo shop for better privacy.

Guess both will give us good rates, cos of competition. Most important is the use of the tattoo shop to do private transactions. I believe both have the use of the tattoo shop. I also advise brothers to change some smaller notes with the lady cos its useful to have small change.

Bros who are coming to AC do take some safety precaution........ another tourist bites the dust........ very important to stay in those establishments that have armed security guards on duty 24/7


28 July, 2011 - American killed
An American tourist was stabbed and killed by two men who barged into his rented apartment in Barangay Balibago.

Chief Inspector Luisito Tan, commander of the police’s Station 4 here, said a 12-inch knife was still buried in the nape of William Lavareli, 68, when his body was discovered by neighbors; two shorter knives were also stuck in his nape and right armpit.

I don think necessary. She have noticed an increase of S$ and RM coming through her window hole. She is appreciative of the increased business and would certainly want it to continue. She knows we are ONE in here.

Rain has stopped this morning. Sun is missing.

Last night was quiet in Fields and that's a surprise considering its a Friday.
