Fees at every turn (literally)

It seemed, as we wound our way through the airports and terminals, we had to go to station after station to pay these fees.  The advertised prices may be low, but they sneak these in.  However, we probably pay them in the United States as well, just wrapped up in our standard ticket price.

Manila Overweight Luggage Fee  $58PHP/kg*11kg = $637.50PHP
Manila Overweight Luggage Fee VAT 25% * $637.50PHP = $212.50PHP
Caticlan - Boracay Boat Fee        $25PHP x 2 person
Caticlan Jetty Fee                        $50PHP x 2 person
