Vaccines & Medicines

philippines travel vaccines and medicationsPlease ask your own doctor for advice with respect to vaccinations. We recommend that you bring your own medicine if needed on a regular basis, since the drug stores in the Philippines may not have the same variety of drugs as you find at home.

It is not advisable to drink the local water or use ice cubes made from local tap water.

Small cuts or insect bites are susceptible to  infection. They should be cleaned at once and a band-aid applied. You may wish to bring your own preferred antibiotic cream.

What to bring with you

what to bring to puerto galeraDuring the summer months, temperatures on Mindoro are often close to 90 degrees F. (about 30 degrees C.) in the daytime and a little cooler by night. You should only really need to bring light clothing, and possibly a very lightweight rain jacket.

It’s also a good idea to bring practical items such as sunscreen and a small flashlight (since power interruptions are not uncommon in the Philippines.) If possible, pack light. It will make your trip a lot more pleasant (although this applies to travel anywhere!)
