    bringing food is like playing russian roulette. suwertehan lang. i've seen people go out unscathed. i've seen customs throw most things in the trash can/rubbish bin. just make sure you declare them. to avoid penalties.

    Hello! Pwede po ba magdala ng cosmetic products, like toner, sunblock, rejuvenating cream and the likes? Hindi sya branded like ponds and other brands na nabibili sa malls. Thank you!
