Singapore is called the “Lion City” for a reason. Its prosperity is known everywhere in the world and has become the go-to place for Filipinos to soak in the sights and culture, shop for tech stuff and luxury pieces, and, of course, go on an epic food trip!
If it’s your first time in Singapore, it can get overwhelming to know what to do, and how you can stretch your budget out so you won’t miss out on the full experience. Pay your way through Singapore’s must-see shops, attractions, and dining spots using your GCash, just like how you would do it in the Philippines—no need to pay extra fees for foreign exchange on your credit card, and you don’t need to bring too much cash around with you. You can’t go to Singapore and not see their iconic Gardens by the Bay. Smack in the middle of the bustling city is this world-famous nature park, with three waterfront gardens to marvel at Bay East Garden, Bay South Garden, and Bay Central Garden. It will amaze you what man–and a ton of city planning!-can do!
While Singapore is quite small, several attractions are within walking distance of one another, it’s okay to hail a taxi and rest up. ComfortDelGro is the largest taxi company in the country–spot the blue or yellow taxi. When you see the Alipay+ in taxi (#FindThePlus), you can #PayWithGCash!
Singapore’s airport, Changi Airport, is a treat–with its butterfly gardens and waterfalls, it’s a destination on its own. Add to that the varied array of retail stores, from luxury brands to Singaporean treats, all under one roof… and duty-free!
Buying pasalubong is a Filipino trait–you can’t meet up with friends and family after a trip without a little gift for them.
Found also in the Singapore Changi Airport’s arrival and departure areas is SHILLA Duty Free which is a haven for skin care and cosmetics obsessed. Time to try that skincare and makeup routine you’ve always wanted for the best prices possible!
