i DONT KNOW IF ANY OF YOU KNOW ABOUT THE SHUTTLE SERVICE FOR THE MANILA AIRPORT,,,,IT IS ONE OF THE MOST HIGHLY HELD SECRETS IN THE PHILIPPINES,,,,ONLY 20 PESOS TO THE NEXT TERMINAL YOU WANT EVERY 20 MINUTES DEPARTING,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,EVEN IF YOU DONT WANT ANOTHER TERMINAL ITS A GREAT WAY TO GET AWAY FROM THE AIRPORT AND FIND A TAXI THAT ISNT GOING TO screw YOU,,,,,I ALWAYS TAKE THE SHUTTLE AND GET OFF WHERE EVER I WANT AND CATCH A METERED CAB

Yeah.. Tagum had a PPR 14 months ago and it still says Application Received! It will go into in-process near the final stages. No, you don't need any show money because your spouse is the one who signed for you, so they are responsible. And they will accept US dollars in Canada, it's not too big a deal to use US dollars if you have to.

There should be a law about having to accept cash. After all, if you don't accept it, it's not currency.

Okay. Thanks again! I like that thing w/ no stopover from manila to toronto. Congrats again CJG! :)
I think it still stops at Vancouver so the port of entry will be Vancouver. My friends flew with PAL recently and that's what they experienced.

You are right. Not sure where he got the idea that it is direct from manila to Vancouver. The plane has to refuel somewhere. He can fly Vancouver/Toronto direct.
