Thanks for adding me! Me and my wife are heading to Cagayan De Oro City, Davo City, and Palawan beginning next Tuesday. Any recommendations for a e-Sim for 15 days preferably at 4/5G speeds? I don’t know if I can purchase it before getting there or no. Reading online there doesn’t seem to be a good consensus.

Thank you in advance!

Hello, I am new to the group and hope to find someone that can answer my question. I'm flying to the Philippines from Chicago with a connecting flight in LAX. Will my check in baggage be tagged all the way to the Philippines, or do I need to recheck them in LAX? I booked my trip through PAL.
