Budgeting Tips for Filipino Travelers in Singapore

Singapore has a reputation for being pricey, pero kung marunong ka dumiskarte, kaya ‘yan! With the right choices, you can enjoy the city without burning through your travel fund. 

Eat Smart at Hawker Centres

Forget pricey restaurants—hawker centres are where you’ll find authentic, delicious, and budget-friendly meals, just like how locals eat! These are like Singapore’s version of food courts, but with Michelin-worthy dishes at a fraction of the price.
 

• Lau Pa Sat – Famous for its satay street at night. A must-visit for BBQ lovers!
  
  

• Maxwell Food Centre – Home to the legendary Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice, a favorite even of Gordon Ramsay!
  
  

• Chinatown Complex Food Centre – One of the cheapest hawker spots, with tons of options from dim sum to laksa.
  Average meal cost: SGD 3–6 (~₱125–₱250)

Commute Like a Local

Getting around Singapore is easy, efficient, and budget-friendly—especially if you know what passes to get! No need for pricey cabs—MRT and buses will take you everywhere you need to go.
 

• Singapore Tourist Pass
  Planning to explore beyond the concert venue? The Singapore Tourist Pass gives you unlimited rides on MRT and buses, making it super sulit for travelers who want to visit multiple spots in a day.
  
  Rates:
  ✅ 1-day pass – SGD 17 (₱700)
  
  ✅ 2-day pass – SGD 26 (₱1,100)
  
  ✅ 3-day pass – SGD 35 (~₱1,500)
  
  Best for: Tourists planning to hop between major attractions like Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay, and Sentosa.
   

• MRT EZ-Link Card - Pay-as-You-Go
  If you’re staying longer or won’t be riding public transport as much, the EZ-Link Card is a better option. Just load it up, tap in and out of MRT stations, and only pay for what you use.
  
  Cost: SGD 10 (~₱400), with SGD 5 load included.
  
  Best for: Shorter stays or if you're only taking a few MRT/bus rides.

Budget Tip: Walk When You Can!

Singapore is super pedestrian-friendly, with shaded walkways and scenic routes. Walking not only saves money but also lets you explore hidden gems along the way. Plus, lakad is life, especially when spotting Insta-worthy corners! 

Stay Connected for Less

Whether you're navigating MRT routes, sharing concert moments on IG, or coordinating with your barkada, staying online in Singapore doesn’t have to be expensive. Here’s how you can stay connected without overspending:
 

• Tourist SIM Cards at Changi Airport
  Starts at SGD 12 (~₱500) and comes with generous data—enough for Google Maps, social media, and concert livestreams (kung gusto mong mag-FB Live habang nasa crowd! 😉).
  
  Where to buy: Convenience stores and telco counters at Changi Airport (Singtel, StarHub, M1).
   

• eSIMs via apps like Airalo or Klook
  If your phone supports eSIMs, this is an even easier way to get data. You can buy and activate before flying, so you're already online the moment you land.
  
  Popular options:
  
  ✔ Airalo – Load up before departure for seamless activation.
  
  ✔ Klook – Often has promos and discounts for travelers.
   

Tip: Compare SIM and eSIM options to see which gives you the best GB for your budget—especially if you’re staying longer!
 

Sulit na sulit ka na! Now, let’s talk concert day tips para all-out ang experience mo kay Mother Monster.

Concert Day Survival Tips

The big day is finally here! You’re dressed, hyped, and ready to sing your heart out—but remember, concerts abroad can be intense, so a little preparation goes a long way.

What to Bring:

• Digital or printed concert ticket – Triple-check this before leaving! No ticket, no Gaga.
   

• Powerbank – You don’t want your phone dying before Shallow even starts.
   

• Foldable water bottle or poncho – Singapore’s weather is unpredictable—either hot AF or surprise rain!
   

• Cash + card for food/merch – Some stalls might be cash-only, and let’s be real—you’ll want that tour-exclusive Lady Gaga merch.

Arrive Early (2–3 Hours Before the Show!)

Queueing is part of the experience—pero mas fun if you’re with friends! Plus, early birds get the best spots (if it’s standing), shorter lines for merch, and less stress.
