2 mill won is under $ 1,500 U.S.
so over 21 days that's like under $75/day
that isn't to include airfare is it? |

It will be fine if you are not planning to spend your time in 4 or 5* accommodations.
It really depends on where you are going. If you are going to Manila then it will be tight (unless you plan to stay in some dive somewhere).
If you are going to places like Boracay you will be OK in the low-mid range places (remember that it is peak season (now to mid Jan).
IF you plan to stay in pension houses and travel around you are fine.

| My advice: Don't pack much. When you get here go to SM or NCCC mall. You will find clothes and styles not seen in Korea. Lots of choice here. I have bought shorts and shirts for no more than $3 each. The exchange rate is pretty good so far. $1500 should last you. |

It's going to be a bit tight.
Two years ago 1000 KRW could buy 56 pesos. Now, 1000 KRW buys 34 pesos. 
Make a daily budget and stick to it. In fact, try to spend less than your budget each day.
I'm not sure it's worth vacationing when you're constantly worried about how much things cost. |
