  • *Pricing based on U.S. Dollars

    *The basis of hotel classification is the price,
    so a 3-star hotel that is centrally located may have the same rate as a 4-star further from venue.

    *The above rates are not inclusive of airfare. You are welcome to purchase your own airfare or our travel partner can also assist you with booking your air travel in addition to your preferred package.

Do I have to attend the event for all 3 days?

We’ve conveniently arranged this event into three days of different speakers, leaders, and worship bands. Your group can buy one-, two-, or three-day passes for the event to attend any days at your convenience.

Are the Senior and Youth Pastor Conferences included in my Jesus Global Youth Day event registration?

No. Pastor conferences are optional. Pastors may register to either conference for an extra fee.

If I attend a Pastor Conference, do I need to also attend the Jesus Global Youth Day 3-day event?

While we encourage all leaders to attend Jesus Global Youth Day, attendance isn’t mandatory (nor included in your conference registration).

Will the Free Broadcast be live during the event in Manila?

No. Our partner, TBN, will gather footage of the 3-day event and broadcast the highlights during a special 2-hour broadcast.

When do I register for Jesus Global Youth Day?

Registration for Jesus Global Youth Day is now open.

Will I have access to the internet?

Some hostels and most hotels have internet access, and more and more cafes and retailers are providing Wi-Fi for their customers. It is not always free, however.

What’s the best way to call home?

We recommend using apps like Skype, WhatsApp, and Facebook Messenger. Keep in mind that data charges will apply if the phone is not connected to Wi-Fi.

Will my cell phone work?

Most cell phones work in the Philippines. Call your phone company for the details of whether your particular phone is set up to work there, and what an international plan will cost you.

How can I stay in touch with loved ones at home?

We advise each church group to set up an email list or a Facebook group to provide quick updates to parents back home.

What shots/vaccines do I need to visit Philippines?

It is recommended to be current on routine vaccinations. The CDC and WHO recommend the following vaccines for Philippines: typhoid, Japanese encephalitis, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, rabies, measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) and influenza.

Does Jesus Global Youth Day provide medical insurance?

We do not provide medical insurance. Please note that travelers are required to have proof of International medical insurance coverage.  If your insurance is not international, please contact us and we can refer you to an organization that can supply it for the period you are overseas.

Do I need additional medical insurance?

You should check with your insurance company to see if and under what terms you have coverage in the Philippines. If you do not have coverage, you can buy travelers’ medical insurance online. We can also refer you to an organization that can supply it for the period you are overseas.

What if I have prescription medications?

If you are bringing prescription medication with you to Jesus Global Youth Day, you should bring the medications in their original bottles. If you are taking a critical medication, you should try to bring a backup prescription order from your doctor in English just in case you lose your medication.

Are there other health precautions I should take?

It is a good idea for someone in the group to have a first aid kit containing diarrhea and constipation medication, as well as medications for cold and flu. Airborne or Emergen-C may be helpful supplements for travel as well. It is also important to prepare your body in advance for the demands of the event by eating healthfully, exercising, keeping hydrated, and getting plenty of sleep during the weeks leading up to your trip.

Mosquito repellent is relatively necessary in the city, and very necessary when going outside the city, especially when visiting the rainforest areas. Stronger repellent containing DEET is recommended.

Will I need a power plug adapter or voltage converter?

The Philippines uses various outlet types from around the world. When booking your hotel, we advise asking if power plug adapters are needed. Also, electricity in Philippines is 220 Volts, alternating at 60 cycles per second. If you travel to Philippines with a device that does not accept 220 Volts at 60 Hertz, you will need a voltage converter. Using equipment at the wrong voltage is a sure way of destroying them.

What if I leave something at home, then need it later?

The Philippines is a well-developed country. Everything you need will be available there, including toiletries and clothing.

Will there be laundry facilities?

A laundry facility is almost always available in hotels—a sink and your two hands. (Hand washing clothing may not be feasible in simple accommodations.) A good rule is to wash one or two things per night and let them hang to dry. If you are in need of a washer and dryer, availability varies by location. Laundromats/laundry services are also everywhere.

Will we have to carry all of our belongings with us every day?

You will be able to leave your belongings at your lodging during the day and during the event. But, remember, never leave anything behind that you cannot bear to lose.

Does the event have a suggested packing list?

Our Jesus Global Youth Day Youth organizer will email your group leader with a suggested packing list before the event.

What is the currency in Philippines?

The Philippine Peso(₱)(PHP) is the official currency and is typically the only currency recognized for normal transactions.

Where can I exchange my currency for the PHP?

Money changers are common in the Philippines, especially in large cities and at the airport.

How much money will I need?

Ask yourself: How many meals will I need to buy? (Keep in mind that most hotels provide breakfast depending on the hotel package you choose.) The amount needed will vary by tastes and spending habits, but roughly $500 for the basic itinerary should be more than enough.
