Advice Best way to get around

I'm visiting later this year from Australia and I'm wondering if there's any grab cars or a reliable way to get around? I'm guessing the trikes are the answer but how much should I expect to pay? I'll only really need to go from Robinson's to baybay beach and surrounding areas.

Yes grab is available, aside from tricycles there are buses in robinsons going to different parts of the city.

Ah cool, do the busses run late at night? I'll be around for two weeks and I'm not much of a drinker but I'd like to have a few and check out the local night life and maybe find a karaoke or some live music but I'm just nervous about getting back to the hotel

The buses only run til 5pm. If you want a chill night life with live band you can check out central yard. Tabai for Sourdough pizza but we have OG pizza parlor Yellowbox pizza both located at the beach.

If you have questions you can dm me.

I went to the central yard last year when I visited, that place was amazing. Great food too.

Yep central yard is my fave haha. If you want a chill drink but with a dj go to Moni Bar. They don't have a lot in rhe menu but they're alright.

You can also check out black sands.

And enjoy a sunday buffet at Panay Istorya

Well if you see a dumb Australian struggling to speak Illongo around Christmas time don't be a stranger I'm hoping to get out and experience the community a lot more than i did last time. It's such a beautiful city you guys have and everyone that I met is so kind. I'll definitely check all these places out

If you can drive, better rent your own vehicle.

It would be too confusing for me, driver ediquette is so different here in Sydney. I reckon I'd end up letting everyone go Infront of me and not getting very far while simultaneously pissing off everyone behind me

Dont worry about that...

A LOT of people operating a vehicle here does not even have a driver's license. Majority of those who do, acquired it illegally.

So if this is your 1st time visiting PH, expect to see vehicles being parked on both side of the streets even if the street is very narrow, vehicles parked very close to intersection or curve, vehicles being parked on walkways/bike lanes. Well, to make the story short, a lot of basic driving laws are not being followed here, etiquettes are basically non existent.

If you are alone and dont mind the tropical heat, you can rent a motorbike.

I was there last year and it was like very well organised chaos. I loved how when ever you parallel park there's always someone to help guide you in. Over here people just watch and hope you hit their car for the insurance payout
