better to be ready para less hassle pagtinanong ka o hinanapan nito
i think 1K USD is too much... susunduin naman tau ng mga spouse natin for sure right so i think 10$ is ok na.
sabi ng hubby ko, not more than 2K pesos ang babayaran sa airport (NAIA) tapos ang idedeclare kong pocket money ay ung collections ko ng different currency bills (US$, CND$, Pounds, NT$, etc).
