Try a restaurant near you. After dining, please consider sharing some of your wealth with street children ministries and orphanages in the Philippines. On occasion I have seen someone in need and shared with them. For example, I was walking in the discount shopping area of Baclaran, and an obviously destitute young lady walked past me carrying her young baby. I gave her 100 pesos.

No Toilet Paper In Philippines

No Toilet Paper in Bathrooms?

When you arrive in the Philippines one of the first things you need to buy is a roll of toilet paper. Many bathrooms in malls and public places do not provide toilet paper. Shocked? It's true.

For example, if you go into the bathrooms (comfort rooms or CRs as called by Filipinos) at SM malls there are toilets, but you will find no toilet paper or toilet seats in the stalls. However, they do sell small packets of toilet paper for around 5 pesos in vending machines on the wall as you enter the bathroom, or "comfort room (CR)" as referred to by Filipinos. But if the machine is empty, you will really be in a fix, especially if you do not speak Filipino! If you wear cargo pants flatten a roll and keep it in a leg pocket.

Ayala malls and Robinson's malls usually have paper in the stalls in CRs. But to be on the safe side be sure to always carry some with you.

I was in the habit of carrying a small sling bag in which I always carried a roll.

Take heed of this advice or you may find yourself in a difficult situation.

Oh, and always carry a small bottle of antibacterial hand wash with you. The liquid soap dispensers in SM Mall CR's are often empty. You can buy the small carry size in drugstores and grocery stores.

If you need to find a "bathroom" ask directions, ask someone, or any security guard, "where is the CR?"
