.
It still is USD 10k per passenger in foreign currency. If you are carrying Philippine currency, the limit is PHP 50k.
I am not sure if a couple travelling together can carry USD 20k. I could not find this info from the Philippine government websites.
If you have that much cash on your person in the Philippines, you are taking a big risk, I think.
Thanks Jackson4;
Why I asked!
It was a vague fact sometime back in 2012/3 (It was 'claimed' to be only 10t piso).
It was when I was about to depart fm Clark Airbase...I was then carrying abt 30t piso in my pocket on my return flight to Singapore...I was stopped by YES the immigration and pulled to a corner where another 'Senior Officer' appeared and said he could not let me carry such a large amount of cash out of his country & insisted I give him 3t piso so as to let me pass. After my 15min plea & my flight departure time getting ever closer I gave in!
But ever since the current President Duterte came to power many of these "things in your face" have been reduced significantly so I'd give him credit where credit's due!
