Summary: Good indepth info for the adventurer
Comment: If you have a short time in the Philippines and want easy, but good, trips laid out in detail Lonely Planet is better. But if you really want to learn about the Philippines, get a handle on the remote areas, leave the tourist track and plunge into wilderness or hang out with remote tribes, Moon is much better. I use them both.

Summary: Easily the most detailed guidebook to the country
Comment: While it may not be as up to date about practical info (like prices or schedules) as say Lonely Planet, I found this book unbeatable for its in depth coverage of the country!
It covers every single province (out of ca. 80) making sure that no remote corner of the country is overlooked.
The emphasis on regional clutures / ethnic groups was particularly interesting to me.
It is THE best book for those planning to spend a longer period in the Philippines going off the beaten track, though carrying a LP as a back-up for practical info is useful.
Certainly for those only going on a 2-3 weeks beach holiday the in depth info contained in this book may be irrelevant, and they might be better off with another book stronger on resorts and prices...

Summary: Would not like to depend on this book for information
Comment: Unlike the great South Pacific handbooks by Moon this book lacks detail. It mentions areas you can go to, but not how to to get there or where to stay. It has general information but is not worth it. Would rather like to depend on Lonely Planet, am going to check out Jens Peters book as well. I'll pass on this guide.
