Posted on the main page by Evan of Cat JAVA:
s/v Java checked into the country in Cebu, which is now NOT the place to do it (Sep 2017). Immigration cost 3000Php, whereas two years ago it cost nothing. when I asked about this, I was told that this was always the cost, so I paid, got two passports stamped (one was a Phil. Passport) and asked for a receipt for payment.
Was told that I couldn’t get a receipt since the money WAS NOT going to the government. Ha, ha, at least the guy was honest in that this money was strictly off the books! My advice: forget Cebu for checking in.
