Why I dont like Gcash by Filamretire
My wife was asking for a gcash account. Not that I dont trust her, but Gcash is registered to a phone number ie an app with security code. You can deposit to gcash many places using cash and send money to anyone. The problem is I have no way of ...
I don't trust unregulated companies like GCash or Maya. Can someone explain to me what's wrong with just paying the old fashion way with just a bankcard? I use a PNB debit Mastercard and haven't had any problem using it or lost money from it and can ... Read More

Getting My VA Meds To The Philippines by billdimmett
Since my medications aren鈥檛 service related, I鈥檝e been having them forwarded by my brother in the US. This has been expensive and slow. What are other US military vets doing? Buy locally or from neighboring countries out of pocket? Thank ...
HiI'm not a vet nor American. But I can tell you about buying from neighbouring countries. I'm a 75-year-old Australian with a house in Baguio. In Australia public hospital and GPs are free. Medical specialists are generally partly free. If you pay ... Read More

Alternative to internet load in province by Larry Fisher
I still maintain my T-mobile Magenta Max account which gives me 5gb - 5g internet per month. But I blow through that quick. Especially when hotspotting to my laptop and surfing or watching markets. I get throttled to 256kps after the 5gb. So we've ...
I don't think I can help here. It's just my rant about a dream. It's about the release of the fabled Tesla Pi phone. I'm hanging out not getting any other phone because of the enormous potential it will bring including solving the problem under ... Read More
Money Transfer by ppjhm
I am an American living outside Cagayan de Oro. I am looking for some output regarding money transfer from the U.S. to the Philippines other than bank to bank wire transfers as my bank's fees are overbearing. If anyone has any suggestion on ...
I notice everyone just talks about fees and no mention of the exchange rate. I've compared several ways of sending from Australia to the Philippines and found Wise to be the cheapest from small amounts and up to 25k I've sent. To do a proper ... Read More

I'm waiting a shipment of seeds to my re-mailer (Tomato: Beefsteak & Heirloom also Vidalion Onion & Red Pepper) to be shipped among other purchases. The re-mailer will consolidate (repack) everything and I will ship via FedEx. Now I ...
I've never gone through customs arriving in the Philippines, either Manila or Cebu, so even if you are checked like the few times when returning to Australia they never asked me to check my pockets. So if you have a non commercial quantity to fit in ... Read More
Has anyone felt like they are being "Used" by Dane Juju
Share your experiences so other kind hearted blokes do not become another statistic here. There's a running joke about foreigners here. No Filipino/a will share it with you as they do not want us to look down on their people. We must share our ...
I鈥檓 an older Australian and learnt the hard way in relationships with much younger Filipina. Yes it works when there is something in it for both parties, but you have to keep a lid on it because things change. All the reasons of financial ... Read More

Hi everyone! I am relatively familiar with the Philippines (am white British) and have spent enough time there months at a time in 2017/2018/2019 (and ex was filipino, and a good chunk of my social group is) to a point I can hold a basic ...
I used an immigration agent Mike Ryan of ABC International Migration Services from Ermita, Manila for my Quota Visa. A really nice and honest Australian running his business there for 20 years who doesn't charge like a wounded bull and with which ... Read More
