What to Pack
The Philippines is a tropical country with humid weather so light breathable garments would be your best bet. Up north, the climate drops to cooler temperatures so a light windbreaker would be sufficient. Sunblock and mosquito repellent would also be advised.
What to Eat

Something found in almost every diner is adobo, which is a dish made with pork or chicken that has been cooked in soy sauce, garlic and vinegar being the main ingredients.
What to See
There are festivals happening on every island in the Philippines, so you are unlikely to miss out. Some of the iconic fiestas are the Ati-Atihan, Sinulog and Masskara. Immerse yourself in local culture and maybe a drink or two of the local rum. When looking for accommodation with amenities there are a plethora of options to pick from including Citadines Cebu City for example.
