While these countries don't initially require a VISA for entry, there are certain ones that will issue/require you one upon arrival with corresponding fees.

For travel safely it is always best to triple-check each country's regulations for tourist. Google, read blogs and forums or even call the country's embassy in the PH if there are informations that you need to verify.
