Personally, I brought only 10k in combination of cash and cheques. Distributed across me and my wife, is was 5k each so no need to declare any amount at PH Immigration. At PoE, Customs only asked if I was bringing in in excess of 10K, to which I replied no and told them I have 5k in cash and cheques. They just looked at m y de sirclaration and verified what I said against what I checked off in the declaration.
