Day4:
hotel balance 17200 4300

Notes:

  • figures are in Philippine Peso
  • airfare courtesy of Cebu Pacific (promo)
  • our hotel - Royal Oberoi Resort Hotel
  • the rest of Underground Tour package is along with hotel payments (we reserved through our hotel)
  • all figures (on the left column) were divided into four (right column)
So our total expense is roughly above Php10k without the pasalubongs. I would consider this as not a budget travel since primarily we stayed in a bit expensive hotel.
