The USD to PHP exchange rate has been influenced by several recent developments in the currency markets and geopolitical landscape. The USD experienced a setback as inflation figures released for April indicated a drop to a four-year low of 2.3%. Analysts note that this softer inflation may lead to a temporary weakening of the dollar, especially in light of ongoing political uncertainties linked to U.S. trade policies. While tariffs imposed by President Trump on various nations, including a 17% reciprocal tariff on goods from the Philippines, are intended to address trade imbalances, they may also contribute to a less favorable outlook for the USD in the near term.

However working against you are the fees all foreign exchange providers charge for providing their service. These fees is usually contained within the exchange rate margin (or difference to the mid-rate).
The transaction margin you end up being charged can be considerably reduced by around a few percent (of total amount being exchanged) for travel money and possibly over 5% to 6% when sending money. The exact potential savings depends on the currencies being exchanged and the amount you are transferring and if you are willing to shop around.
