25 12.8 Final Papers Final meeting papers shall be made available on the APEC Meeting Document Database (MDDB) shortly after the conclusion of all meetings. The MDDB can be accessed at Information Disclosure Deliberative Information APEC operates by consensus and needs space to consider and debate issues away from public scrutiny in order to develop that consensus. For the deliberative process to function optimally, it is necessary to safeguard the free and candid exchange of ideas. Therefore, while APEC makes publicly available summary reports and other documents classified for public release by the originating fora, meeting participants are expected to display sensitivity and prudence in disclosing information to the public during the course of its deliberations. 13.

GENERAL INFORMATION 16.1 Cebu, The Philippines Cebu is geographically the gateway to the heart of the Philippines by air and by sea. It is thus no surprise that, as the oldest city in the country at 439 years old, Cebu boasts a rich tapestry of history, culture, and international business and trade alongside its easy access to the abundance of scenic views and natural resources. Combined with its local government's commitment to development, prosperity, and progress, Cebu prides itself as consistently being one of the Philippines' premier tourist destinations. Page 21

27 16.2 Weather While August and September are the wettest months of the year in the Philippines, Cebu enjoys less than average rain during this period owing to its location in the heart of the country. Thus, Cebu is usually blessed with sun and clear skies, with occasional, brief rainfall. Visitors can expect high humidity and temperatures in the low 30 Cs (around 86 F). Although less frequent in Cebu than in other regions in the Philippines, tropical storms as announced by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) may still occur during this month. If there is an announced storm signal of no. 3 or higher, it is recommended that delegates stay indoors until the signal is lifted Time The Philippine Standard Time is 8 hours ahead of GMT (+8 GMT). DST is not adopted in the Philippines Currency The official currency of the Philippines is the Philippine Peso (PhP). Retailers in the Philippines will in general not accept other currencies, so it is necessary for visitors to change foreign currency into Philippine Pesos to make cash payments. Delegates may wish to change their currencies at NAIA after clearing immigrations and customs. The average exchange rate is USD 1 = PhP Following the regulations of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (Central Bank of the Philippines), Philippine currency brought in or taken out of the Philippines must not be more than PhP10,000. The transportation of foreign currency is legal; however, foreign currency in excess of USD10,000 or its equivalent in other foreign currencies brought into the Philippines must be declared before the Customs Officer at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA.) 16.5 Credit Cards Visa and Master Card are accepted at most establishments. However, only cash payments in Philippine Pesos are accepted in public transportation, small shops, and small restaurants Tipping In general, tipping is not a mandatory practice in many hotels, restaurants, taxis, and other services in the Philippines. However, if you are satisfied with the service, you may wish to add 10% of the total bill as gratuity Electricity and Water Supply The power supply in the Philippines is volts, 60 hertz. Outlets are mainly made for two- flat pronged plugs. Please check the voltage requirements of your appliance before using the wall socket. The tap water is not always potable. Thus, we advise the participants to consume bottled water, which can be purchased at the hotels or any nearby convenience stores and groceries Restaurants Information on local restaurants shall be available at the APEC Information Desk.
