What are effective strategies to prevent stomach-related infections?
Maintaining the highest standards of hygiene is essential. According to numerous studies, up to 90% of food poisoning cases can be prevented simply by washing hands before eating. In the Philippines, there may be bacteria, viruses, parasites, toxins, or chemicals that may not be commonly found in the environments where you typically dine. While the risk of contracting food poisoning exists, it is generally low when proper food safety practices are followed.
Wash your hands frequently, especially after activities such as riding a motorbike, swimming in the sea, or touching handrails and other surfaces exposed to dirt. Most restaurants that meet basic standards of hygiene and comfort should provide a washbasin and hand soap for their customers.
If you’re concerned about stomach aches, we recommend dining only at restaurants that are properly registered and have up-to-date Sanitary Permits, along with accreditations from the DENR (Department of Environment and Natural Resources) and PCSD (Palawan Council for Sustainable Development), ensuring the facilities follow correct procedures and maintain proper conditions.

- Hot and freshly cooked items are usually safer than those that were cooked few hours ago and still sitting there.
- Choose a stall where the vendor maintains a clean working area and uses gloves rather than handling food directly with bare hands.
- Whenever possible, choose food stalls that display a valid business permit and sanitary certification.
I'm experiencing stomach discomfort, what should I do?
If you’re feeling unwell with symptoms like nausea, bloating, or diarrhea, it’s best to rest and monitor your condition. Avoid heavy meals and consider fasting for up to 24 hours if symptoms are severe. Stay hydrated by sipping clean water or oral rehydration solutions. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention.
What means the +, and the ++?
Some restaurants and accommodations include additional charges to the listed prices. A “+” typically refers to a service charge, usually between 7% and 10%. Meanwhile, “++” generally covers both the service charge and taxes, which amount to around 12%. So, if you see something priced at 1000₱++, it might actually cost about 1220₱ after adding the charges and taxes.
Why the restaurants don't include the service charge and taxes on the listed price?
A lower listed price can serve as a hook to attract more customers. Once you’re seated at the table, it’s highly unlikely you’ll leave the restaurant, even with additional charges that make you reach for a calculator to figure out the total cost of your meal.
