Don't forget to bring your tripod and wide lens. There are lot of landscapes here you may want to take pictures.

Bring extra batteries! And if you are not planning on bring a laptop with you I recommend you purchase a couple extra memory cards. Theres nothing wrong with having too much memory cards. You can take 50000 pictures the more the better :)

Are cameras and lenses in the Philippines cheaper than it is here in the States?

Of course not. Cameras and lenses are generally cheaper in the US compared to other parts of the world. You would be amazed by how expensive they are in the Philippines.
