You will not be able to have your license converted, only GCC licenses can be converted. Apply for a license in any traffic office, usually all driving schools have one or go to Mooror, and you will be given two chances to pass the exam or you can opt to take the crash course for 12 sessions but you have to present your philippine driver's license. Submit copies of your pataka, in the passport, and driver's license. If you fail twice, then you are required to enroll the 24 session half course. Advice, take the crash course.

It is not just GCC licenses that can be converted - it depends on where you obtained your original license. UK and USA licenses can be converted (along with others) without a test, but Filipino licenses cannot. If you know someone who works in the Traffic dept where the licenses are issued then sometimes they bend the rules.
