Savour Filipino cuisine

Filipino food is a unique blend of Spanish, Chinese, and local flavours. Don’t miss dishes like adobo, sinigang, and lechon, or sweet treats like halo-halo. If you have dietary restrictions or food allergies, declare them in your Travel Insurance so you’re protected if you experience any issues related to your condition.

Respect local culture and customs

The Philippines is a predominantly Catholic country, with strong religious and cultural traditions. Dress modestly when visiting churches or rural areas, and always ask permission before taking photos of locals.

Plan for adventurous activities

The Philippines is a haven for adventure seekers, offering activities like scuba diving in Tubbataha Reef, hiking Mount Apo, or surfing in Siargao. Many of these are covered under standard activity packs, but for more extreme sports, ensure your policy includes additional coverage.
