    hi Jonathan. when traveling alone anywhere here in the Philippines, especially the tourist spots, you must gear up yourself with lots of knowledge on how to avoid those people trying to take advantage of you being a foreigner in making the fare higher than usual, as much as possible do not entertain those people who come towards you and offering assistance because the reason behind that is for them to get more from you. it is always best to have a Filipino local that you can trust in communicating with them because a lot of them are trying to earn more in a dirty way. just a piece of advice. enjoy your tour.

      This is true if you are in or within the city destination. However, if in the province, taxis going out of the city will charge more as they need to compensate the gas they have to use going in back to the city. They will have no passenger when they go back to the city.

      While it is true you need to be street wise to get the lowest prices, after a time intravelling i found paying the least is not always the best.
      These people are living in pretty low conditions and paying more is like helping them.
      Paying a little more to a foreigner is just a little bit to them it is a lot. A difference between going to bed hungry vs full stomach
      or
      Being able to pay for a months medicine or suffering without.
      Many times I choose to not haggle the cheapest and feel low looking back when I denied a poor person a little more income when it could mean so much more to them that you would never know about.

      I remember a Thai blogger who recently went to the Philippines, he was savage in haggling down the prices like he would automatically haggle it down to 20 to 50 percent of the asking price and he wins all the time, he haggles much better than a local Filipino.

    Just a note for all visiting the Philippines. Always spend a little more on ferry tickets. First class or open air etc.. I was on a ferry from Surigao City to Siargao Island (not as nice as the ferry he was on) and purchased a standard ticket... we found ourselves deep down in the boat. As you probably know, every once in a while a ferry catches on fire -or goes down, so having that easy access to offload if needed might just save your life.

"There are good people and not so good people everywhere." Always be wise and careful. I have never been to Bohol, but I checked out some of the places to visit, which were terrific. The Choco hills, Tarsier, Dimiao Twin waterfall, Hinagdanan cave, River paddle boarding, Bamboo hanging bridge, and Loboc river cruise are among the popular to visit. Enjoy.
