🍺 Raise your Spirits 🥃- Budget Drinks in the Philippines 🇵🇭

To sink another beer or spend a night in a piss smelling cockroach infested twelve bunk hostel.

Here are some cheap drinks to ensure there is enough money for that higher price tagged private accomodation. Though, you could just drink more and stay in the hostel.

The Philippines was actually relatively cheap when drinking the local beers.
