Concern about Travel Tax in the Philippines

^^^travel tax naa sa ticket nya bisag di nimo i dayon ang pag travel naa ba nay refund? tsk

The travel tax is only collected from foreigners who are considered residents (those who have stayed more than 1 year from the time of their last arrival).

Your friend shouldn't have been asked to pay the travel tax. I don't know why the travel tax isn't included as part of the ticket here like it is in almost every other country. Good thing terminal fees are now tacked onto the ticket, but travel tax is still a huge hassle for passengers especially if they're in a hurry to catch a flight.

^^^ huh naa na diay sa ticket ang terminal fee? sure ka bro?

i don't know about foreign students but from my experience when my mom and i went to the states ako kay nagbayad ug travel tax while my mom did not kay foreign (american) citizen naman cya.

so foreigners do not pay travel tax when departing from the philippines.

how long did your malaysian friend stay here man?

kana gyud terminal fee, i think its too expensive considering the quality of our mactan airport.

Bro adto mo ug butuan ay kay tag 20php ra ang terminal fee sa ila airport.. Tan-awa basta mag brownout kay mano2x diha ang pag check up ug pag pay2x kay wala genset..

So im okay with the 200php diri sa cebu kay sulit man sad.

MCIA manager, is that you? hahaha..

Maintenance is part of operation cost right? How come the last few times I used MCIA something was broken. The conveyor belt broke down, then another time 1 of 2 x-ray machines broke down and wasn't repaired for 2 months. Many overseas airports charge less and are 100x better. Please don't give us these bullshit excuses because no one is buying them.
