gorgeouschef,
this link is about invitation letter as per Philippine embassy in Singapore.
http://www.philippine-embassy.org.sg/consular/invitation-letter/Please note na kahit may invitation letter ka na authenticate ng Philippine Embassy it still doesn’t assure the passenger na ma off load. Still judgement parin ng IO if papayagan kang magtravel or hindi.
Just remember na SG is a visa on arrival country and we pinoys don’t need any invitation letter. Kung talagang tourist ang pasok mo sa SG then maghanda kayo ng roundtrip ticket and cash and accommodation. Ok lang kahit magstay ka sa friend mo or what basta ready ka sa mga nito para kung tinanong ko mararamdaman ng IO if nagsasabi ka ng totoo. All IO are trained to judge you whether TNT ka or what coz super dami ng pinoy na pumupuntang SG para magjob hunting while on tourist pass and they are avoiding this coz of illegal human trafficking also.
Also please be super early sa airport coz traffic, haba pila sa check in and sa IO and makakasabay mo pa
[textspeak!] mga na iinterogate. Ako kung mabagal ang pila lumilipat ako ng ibang pila para hindi ako mapag-initan =)
If ever na ma offload ang pasahero kase ang reason eh walang invitation letter raise your voice loud enough para marinig nung ibang pasahero like this:
“Officer Santos (kunin ang officer name), hindi po requirement na magkaroon po ako ng invitation letter para magtravel sa SG. Ang requirements po is roundtrip flight ticket, pera and accommodation and reason for staying like for me turista. Hindi po grounds of offloading a passenger dahil sa wala akong invitation letter. I am a tourist entering the country. Gusto ko pong Makita ang Sentosa, Universal Studios etc at may sapat po ako supporting documents for my stay. Kung I offload nyo ko babayaran nyo ba yung flight ticket ko, accommodation etc? Magbabakasyon po ako at lilipad na ang eroplano ko”.
Normally naman ang reason for offloading is that documents are insufficient and sa pagsagot mo na kabado or hindi sure sa IO =)
Insanelypurposeprincess,
Last punta ko sis sa lau pau sat yes they are still close for renovation pero alam ko yung kainan sa street every night time bukas.
chubbelita,
Yung 1st day mo ok nay un baka nga hindi pa magkasya eh. There is so much to see in sentosa itself.
May 25 ayaw nyo bang mag zoo or bird park or night safari, animal sightseeing?
If shopping ok din sa Changi City Point (outlet mall din ito like Anchorpoint)
O kaya Singapore flyer perhaps?
O kaya exit kayo ng Sg to go Johor Bahru for lunch then balik Sg din.
Best and cheap chili crabs can be found in Geylang. Marami nay an dito. I always go to Eminent Frog Porridge sa Lorong 19 Geylang, specialty nila is frogs but I eat the crabs. I always order buttered crabs mga $50++ lang depende sa laki. My hubby always choose our crabs para sure kame na malaman. Basta kung san may pila ang maraming tao, dun kayo kumain =) Singaporeans are known for food lovers and pipila talga yan pag alam nilang masarap ang pagkain =)
Changi City Point is at Expo MRT station and next stop is already Changi MRT station (airport). Probably 5 to 8 minutes lang ang distance nila.
Biancs,
Yes I believe lahat dun authentic. If you don’t want to haggle nice to shop for shoes as well sa Changi City Point (outlet mall).
Molybdenumstudios,
Funan Digital Mall near Cityhall MRT is highly recommended for shopping gadgets. Just compare and haggle price per store. Ask nyo parati what is their “best price” =)
Check properly the items to be purchase.
crazy_krizsa,
Wala akong alam sa liquor =) But sure that its super cheap in buying at the airport then you bring sa pinas =)
m_lim,
Bring umbrella stroller for your kid. Maraming lakaran dito sa SG =)
gorgeouschef,
Alam ko maraming Merlion chocolates kahit sa supermarket =) Marami rin akong nakikitang kakaibang chocolates sa Mustafa or sa mga bargain shops sa SG. Ang parati kong napupuntahan is yung sa value dollar basement ng Changi City Point and yung ABC store near Cityhall MRT, sabi sa karatula nila cheapest store daw sila =) Daming Chocolates dun and lahat bargain and imported and daming pinoy foods =)
mbarbi,
Wala na pong haze, fog lang pero very minimal. If asthmatic kids mo just bring your own stuffs to be sure pero nothing to worry.
gorgeouschef,
Accessible naman sya but I believe they are cheaper and more convenient hotels like in outram park or Chinatown area.
Haba na itong post hehe…Nagkaron lang ng time to help out at sa mga iba naman na wala pa ring reply please do your research 1st, Ang dami ng itinerary na nakalagay per page of this thread. Budget wise naman just book a dummy ticket sa airline and sa hotel and you’ll know how much ang gastos then daily meals dito sa SG is around $3 and above and if you want to know how much is the ticket for tourist attraction you may google it. Ang kagandahan dito sa SG halos lahat ng website nila updated so you will get the real deal or you can email or ask them directly when in doubt.
Weather for Today: sunny sunny na po! Good time to walk around. Always sunny naman dito sa SG just always bring a foldable umbrella just in case it rains, comfy clothes and sandals coz you will do a lot….as in a lot of walking here. SG is a very friendly and touristy country na accessible in English and can always ask around.
Enjoy enjoy sa mga bakasyonista! Makikita nyo na ang Best Airport in The World =) Kame nga kahit walang byahe tumatambay sa airport eh =)
