When I went to Tijuana I entered walking from San Diego. They didn't ask for anything. I didn't even have to talk to anyone, you just walk right through. To get back into the USA you will need the documents, however.

Their is no visa check at the border, so as long as you are going into Tijuana for the day, and do not get into any trouble, you shouldn't need a visa.

If you are going longer than 3 days or 20 or 30 kms past the border, will need a visa. To mexico, I'm assuming your Philippines passport will matter more than you US green card. However, it will be more difficult to get back into the US, so make sure to bring your Philippines passport and your green card and some patience when talking to the US border officers.

You might want to contact the Philippines embassy in Mexico City just to confirm -- and have their number handy just in case.

I would contact the consulate to find out more info.

You should be just fine as long as your a Permanent Resident of the US so you can get back into the United States. Mexico's immigration is weak and lax and you shouldn't have a single problem.

you just need a valid American passport and ID
but if you are going with your Filipino passport you need a visa

As a legal alien in US you will not need anything to cross the border to Mexico. Do not forget your Philippines passport along with your green card to reenter US smoothly.
