Eat a modest meal e.g. Jollibee or McDo instead of a more luxurious meal at Royal Amsterdam, Kokomos or German Bakery. There you've already made up for the currency fluctuations. Focus on having a good time. Don't worry too much about exchange rate.
Lastly what I often practice is this:
Change very minimal e.g. $30 or $40 from Mustafa Center or Lucky Plaza. These two places give the best rates. Then walk along Perimeter and a little after Sky Trak, pop in and ask + Ask for anything better. Repeat for 6 to 7 money changers. You'll get a rough idea of the market rate. No matter how many you ask it's not going to be grossly different. Now go to the best one and ask if you change $500 can you get something better. If they do it's a Wow!.
My Humble opinion
Cheers!

.... my apologies for causing u to waste 123k of your bandwidth and thanks for your advices.
Lolo long time don't write FR.
If you interested to read my FR you go AC2 and search.
There U can find the grandfather story of Wantok @ Santos, Mirror @ Clarkton and America hotel.
Sorry ah, i hv to be sensitive to the exchange rate
because I have seen the rate from 4p/$ (1980) rise till now 35 p/$
also
Jbee n Mc are too expensive to me.
I still enjoy my 60p Rice with Pinakbet, beef Kare-kare and sabaw.
I don't CHANGE peso in physical currency notes.
