Hi All,

I am in Puerto Galera, I have gone to the ATM machine at Sabang and also Puerto Galera to withdraw cash but neither will give me cash. I have a HALIFAX CLARITY MASTERCARD from England. I have used this card in many countries with no problem. I also used it in Manila at the HSBC bank there with no Problem. Has any one else experienced this in Puerto Galera. I am thinking of going to Calapan to try it there. Any help is much appreciated. Frank.

I am giving the answer to my own question here as got sorted now.
If anyone has the same problem as me and is unable to withdraw cash from the ATM machines in Puerto Galera Or Sabang with there Mastercard.
Go to Calapan city it is about an hour and a half by Jeepney and costs 80 pesos one way. Go to the Eastwest or Unibank Atm Machine and get your money no problem.
Hope that is a help to someone in the future.
