Is there a place where can exchange HUF for PHP?

I'm going on a long vacation to the Philippines.
I will need to convert some of my Forints for Philippine Pesos.
I haven't had any luck finding a place where they sell Pesos. I wonder if there is any?

Don't know about that, but my job is to exchange PHP to HUF.

No, only for HTML

Do you know if they can exchange CSS?

Just use your card at an atm in PH. Usually the limit is 10,000 pesos each transaction, and the fee is 250php. You also don't need much cash there. Many places take card payments, and almost every vendor accepts GCash that can be topped up online. I suspect you don't plan to travel by jeepney or trike much.

I'll be using Revolut card. Can that be used at an ATM?

Apple pay/google wallet also is not accepted there so bring your physical cards. Some stores ask to see ID when paying by card to verify.

Last time I went there it worked with most atms, yes. But I had a backup card just to be safe.

It's off topic but I have a more complex question.
I have a company sim card. I can't extend the company plan with Global Internet. I mean I can but it's 10 dollars per 3 days...
What do you think? Should I buy a different burner SIM card there with Internet? Or should I buy one here? Or should I use an esim?

Buy a local sim there. Check some PH reddit or facebook group to see which has better coverage in the area where you plan to spend most of your time. You can get the sim at the airport, usually some overpriced unnecessarily large package, but still affordable by european standards. Or go to the nearest mall and buy one there.

Filipino here and I second this! You could get burner SIM in any convenience store or at the mall - SIM itself would be around 300ft and you could top up data packages. Ask the cashiers or the locals which provider has better coverage as it varies depending on the area you’re in!

Yes it can be used

It is much easier to carry USD with you and then exchange it for PHP at the airport or somewhere else in the Philippines.

Maybe Tichi change but you might be better of buying dollars or euros and then converting those when you get to the philippines.
