Tips

To keep the budget closer to the 2–2.5  lakh range, consider booking flights during promotional periods, opting for a 3‑star hotel in Manila for the final night, or reducing the number of paid meals by enjoying more local street food. If you wish to extend the trip, add a day in Palawan for island hopping; conversely, you can shorten the stay by skipping Subic Bay and spending the extra day relaxing on Boracay’s beach.
