The famous EXETER!!! Driving with Philippine driving license without International driving license? Good luck to that! can somebody nick her?
To be honest the distance you're talking about its not really worth the cost of hiring a car. I know they hire them in the arrivals "hall" in Tacloban airport I think it was 3 or 4 thousand / day. We rent a van and drive to take us from Tacloban to the province in western samar for about 1500-2000 peso.
Knowing what I do about the way some driving licences are "aquired" in the Phils its quiet scary they can be used here for a year
