Going to KK & KL..tips from locals or tourist who have been to both places. Where is the best place to go to change currency? And specific place? What's better to use...US Dollars? or Philippine Peso to get the best value? Thanks a bunch

Just bring peso. If you exchange USD in your country, you have to change again to ringgit malaysia. Although USD to ringgit might give better value, you still in loss when you have to buy the currencies twice (USD and Ringgit).
If you want better exchange value, just don't exchange it in airport or bank. Find money exchenger in city. They will give you better rate.
If you go to KL, don't forget to visit KLCC. The tallest bulding in South East Asia. You won't regret it.
If you go to KK, don't forget to visit Mount Kinabalu. The tallest mountain in South East Asia. You won't regret it too.
