What things cost in Manila

Prices in Manila spread far wider than any single "from" figure suggests, and 84% of the catalogue can be cancelled free of charge. So the useful question is not what the cheapest ticket costs, but which band buys which kind of day.

That median sits 13% above Philippines's. Small towns with one famous sight usually price higher: fewer operators, less competition.
