500 pesos is correct. it started at 50 pesos nga daw.

If you absolutely have to walk alone, walk on well-lighted, well-traveled walkways and plan your route ahead of time. Avoid places where attackers might hide (spaces between parked cars, overgrown shrubs, and dark passageways) and areas where you might get cornered. Remember that it is best to walk facing traffic.

I once read that 1 way to safe guard your credit card or ATM is to black out the security number or check digit at the back. But you should remember and write it somewhere hidden.

I wonder of that's true.

^It should work. But, banks have security feature nowadays to avoid online transactions theft. For instance, BPI has OTP, or one time password, where you will input digits sent to your email or phone before transactions go through.

So regardless whether you have the codes of the cc or not, you should be safe.

As much as possible, avoid withdrawing in malls/stores/or non-bank ATMs. I can enumerate news where hackers have successfully placed skimming devices and these are all non-branch areas.

Better withdraw in bank's branches.

Maroon na ba ang BPI.?. I haven't encountered that yet with them... Only email that you logged in, and confirmation of your completed transaction....but no validation whatsoever before you could transact... What specific transaction/s bro?

With BDO and Citibank, yes, they have that feature. Text on your phone.. and email confirmation of the transaction...
