Some would put vinegar and a pinch of salt on its broth to enhance its distinct taste and with some egg yolk, hardened albumen or the egg white and the most special ingredient, the baby duck, sealed on its shelf.

With its texture similar to oysters, you'll gonna incredibly crave for its taste once you empty your plate.
Top Filipino Alcoholic Beverage
Lambanog

A random blogger once said, "it is a clear, colorless spirit, with a neutral taste, potent kick, and a finish with a hint of sweetness". A Lakan Extra Premium Lambanog that comes in a 750 mL bottle only costs $70.03.
Top Local Transportation
Jeepneys
Within towns, the starting fare for jeepneys is usually $0.16, rising modestly for trips outside of town. Routes are clearly written on the side of the jeepney. They have a certain quirky cultural appeal, but from a tourist’s perspective, they have one humongous flaw. You can barely see anything through the narrow open slats that pass as windows. The best seats are up to the front next to the driver.
Tricycles
The tricycle is a little, roofed sidecar bolted to a motorcycle or most commonly known as rickshaw in Asian countries, mostly found in cities and towns wait around in front of malls, restaurants, and hotels. The standard fare for local trips in most provincial towns is $0.20. You can charter tricycles for about $6 per hour or $3 per 10km if you are heading out of town.
Kalesa
Kalesa also known as "tartanillas", are two-wheeled horse carriages found in just limited places due to road policies and mostly be seen in places where mostly visited by tourists. Well, its fare depends on its location and to its driver's preferences.
Padyak
Mostly seen in Visayas and Mindanao regions, only used for shorter trips for literally it's only a bicycle attached to a body that can carry mainly 3 to 5 passengers. Padyak has a minimum fare of $0.10.
So let's make it clear that the Philippines has not been negatively but positively labeled as being "cheap". Offering a "cheap" costs, aside from that, it would still give you a grand, high-quality of products and services. Thus, every reason gives the emphasis if why tourists choose the Philippines, because as what Filipino says, "It's more fun in the Philippines."
