winter clothes such as heavy jackets are not necessary here ... so a few only not too much you will not need them ...

hi!you don't really need to bring much aside from your personal belongings to start you life here.since it's summer you can bring light clothes only coz it's really vveerryy hot in here!the rest you can buy when you'll recieve your first salary.the do's and dont's you'll learn a lot when you're here already.as long as you know pakikisama,you have a lot of pasensya,marunong umintindi and you know your job very well....you'll survive here.Gudluck kabayan!

The list of DON'T s are longer than the list of DOs for Expats. Try to get educated on local customs and culture through your embassy or consulate prior to travel. Rest is assured. To work and live its a great place. Things are considerably improving as well.
