Yes you can, but an ATM card is much better. Bring a bit of cash currency from your country, and then withdraw pesos when you get here. It is the best exchange rate.

As far as I know, there's no problem, but these days travellers cheques are an outdated form of currency, just bring an atm card and get cash out as you need it, bring a spare one in case you lose it. If you're going outside the main cities then just draw out enough cash to last your trip. If you have a debit card you can go into a bank and draw out any amount you want.
There's no need to travel anywhere with loads of cash or cheques anymore.

As far as i know, there won't be any problem.. but for your convenience, better to bring your ATM card, you can withdraw from any banks.. but when your going to visit the islands, better you withdraw first from the city before going there.. enjoy your trip!
