      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I have a question in my head and was wondering if anyone knows the answer.<br />
<br />
If I travel from Hong Kong to Tacloban on Philippines Airlines and change at Manila - what happens to the luggage in Manila? <br />
<br />
I&#039;m assuming I would need to show my passport in Manila before going to a domestic gate, but do I need to collect the luggage, go through customs in Manila and check the luggage back in? Or do I just go to the gate and pick up the luggage when I get to Tacloban?<br />
<br />
Does anyone know?]]></content:encoded>

Think when I was in the uk the car used to do it for me... I have a Suzuki Xpresso - perhaps I cause the problem by putting the air con on when it&#039;s raining or something ?]]></content:encoded>

<br />
After almost 8 years we will be finally having our holiday in the Philippines. <br />
<br />
Since it has been awhile, just wondering if they are anything we should have and do before getting into our flights and arriving in Manila. <br />
<br />
Husband and children have their PH and British passports, it&#039;s only me who have the PH passport only. <br />
<br />
Thanks in advance. X]]></content:encoded>

<br />
Hope your all fine...<br />
<br />
Last time i was in here someone sent a link to EgovPH, which i just this minute looked at and downloaded the app.<br />
<br />
I&#039;m a bit confused as to just what i need to do with this thing. <br />
<br />
It asks me to put my phone number in but it starts with a ++63 which is clearly Philipine code and i can&#039;t change that so not sure what to do.<br />
<br />
I have registered using my email address but it still want my number for my profile page if you will.<br />
<br />
So i was hoping someone could maybe...<br />
