Gesch, I hope you know your friend very well ....

7000 may be small money For you but it is much much more than the passport cost in Philippines embassy Singapore!!

And 7k can do lot of things after renewing passport...

Thanks for your friendly reminder I met this girl twice in Angeles. Found her quite nice and totally my type. Thus want to invite her to come here for a visit. Yeah I guessed 7k is probably exaggerated. Can't imagine it's so expensive to get a passport in PI...

Aiyo, don't get me wrong I am not telling you not to send her the $

If she has been 'good' to you and think it is an investment do it !

or if you are smelling a attempt to get money with no return, then try telling her you can only remit (in this case) 3,000 and if that is ok.

Rule no 1: Never tell a filipina when you catch her lying or possibly lying. Confronting her will only make things worse. If you know or feel she is lying, in this case - asking more money to cover her other expenses- just pretend you agree with her.

After a month or so ask how is the passport and tell her to show the passport page so you can see if you can find some work (just bullshit .. ) and likely she will show her expensive passport.

But after a month no passport, then still dont' confront. just find other girl. Confronting filipinas is not good for mental health Just be happy you found out all 7K went to her other expenses and bless yourself you found out soon.

As I said, lot of filipina shy to ask money, so they cook up some story.

Does that make sense ?

That's pinay psychology 101 !

I know pinays who's son / daughter been in hospital but their facebook have photos of vacation in other place. And some, said mother kidney problem, but then facebook have photo of her with her 'mahal
' I don't confront them, or get mad, because, as long as I get what i want, I don't lose sleep over their lying ways to get money. Why fret your 1,000 peso was used to make her bf happy, as long as she open up for me when I am there .., and 1000 peso = 30 $ ? Price of one jug beer .. can't bother much.

Oh, long ago I used to have girls who ask money for treating family baboy or carabao or grandma's special day (whatever that was - grandma losing her virginity ?) ... but those kind I don't get anymore !

Bro etsys you are really great! Kudos to your pinay psychology 101

Yeah as instructed I won't mention the real cost of applying for a passport...

BTW, my friend said she doesn't even have a bank account so she asked me to check Western Union

Not having a bank account is not abnormal in Philippines.

After all, there is no national ID and all.

Anyway, my aversion to Western Union is I need to provide details for the collecting person. I try as much to ask the girl to send to somebody's bank account so they don't need unwanted info, like my real name

Try other remittance where only the control / transaction number is needed.

Good luck in any case.

[ol'coyote]

yes...pinays dun seem to have any id...
me used pay2home...
the troublesome part is the registration part...
the branch need to have visual confirmation of account holder...me...
after that...me just send money via online...
but the receipient must provude some/any...form of id to collect money...
even voter`s id is acceptable...

Cebu Pacific used to fly but don't know ..

RS07, There is no direct flight to Boracay from Singapore, the large airport is Kalibo about 2++ hour from Boracay.

Boracay airport - Caticlan, can't take bigger planes.

Alternate, Singapore, Manila, transfer to domestic, caticlan, then return Caticlan or Kalibo, Clark, Singapore.

Philippines Airline in Manila operate from one terminal so transfer from International to domestic is easier, when you going to Boracay.

Return let me find if the charter still operating from Caticlan to Clark

My 2 cents ?

Making a business with a filipino is rarely a good idea, unless he invests 60 %

Why? is it because usually he is not hard-working enough?

what you should be afraid is that he is too hard working in wrong direction
