PhilippinesA big communication barrier

There is a big money saving loop-hole to skype though. You can set up the person in the Philippines' account on skype to be a US account and then put your card information in for $3.00/month unlimited US/Canada plan and the person in the Philippines can call any landline/cell phone in the US for nothing but the 3 dollars a month that you pay. The downside is that you still don't have the benefit of calling them, unless they are on skype that is.

I checked Globe's website and they have a 1 megabyte per second plan for 995 pesos a month. Is this sufficient in speed?


My family in Manila been using globe broadband ( Php995/ month ) for 2 yrs now. So far so good! :thumbs:

PhilippinesDating Scam Stories

Thanks to all of you for sharing your stories. I will add mine. It is a very long story, but I will provide the condensed version here.

In the summer of 2007, I lost a personal business that I had built with a relative to make money for Cystic Fibrosis. This business was well designed and had an excellent business plan, but was a victim of bad timing, extraordinary bad luck and poor management on my part. Good intensions are not worth much and I lost my life savings, a huge portion of my families net worth and was left with bankruptcy and huge debts. My marriage of 7 years was struggling. I had been very busy with a full time job and the failing business and my wife had suffered long with depression and emotional instabilities. Earlier that year my wife's father had abandoned her family (4 younger children) and had suffered a breakdown of his own. Our third child was born in September of 2007 and my wife and now 3 children moved back in with her mother - 1200 miles from my office and our home. She assured me that everything was ok with the marriage, she just needed time with her mother and time to recover from our loss and the emotional loss of her father. I flew the 1200 miles back and forth every 2 weeks to spend time with my family and still keep my job all that Fall.

In late September of 2007, while playing basketball at my church I ruptured my achilles tendon and had to have surgery, crutches and months to recover. Now I was working and traveling on crutches and a cast. My wife used this and one excuse after another to stay with her mother, refusing to rejoin me at home and suffered additional emotional stresses as she recovered from childbirth. In December we were growing further and further apart, even though she was seeing a counselor. Nothing I did seemed to help her or the marriage. On December 23 my father passed away which was crushing for me. My wife attended the funeral but was cold and sad and distant. After the funeral, she flew back to her mother's home. She promised that she was doing better and would join me soon.

But, on January 8th - a very cold and dreary day - I received an email at 6pm from 1200 miles away. She had filed for divorce. No counseling, no help from our church and no previous discussion, although in retrospect there were obviously many signs. I felt like my world had ended. I was broke, heart broken, still in a cast and now alone. My family was gone. I did everything I could to try to change her mind. I stalled the divorce proceedings and asked her to see our church officials, go to counseling, meet with a mediator, on and on. She had originally told me that she would consider reconciliation and outlined a list of things she needed. That list became my life. For the next 4 months I studied and worked. I went to counseling and wrote about all my experiences and worked with my church leaders. I often slept less than 4 hours a night and lost almost 30 pounds (I was 5'7" and 155 pounds when I started). I became totally obsessed with my desire to save the marriage and return to my family. And I developed severe depression and essentially became mentally ill.

During this period, I interacted periodically with my wife directly and indirectly through our church. Sometimes it felt like I was making progress, but it always eventually slipped away. She would engage me and be encouraging and then retreat. In early April she asked that I give her some time and leave her alone and although she still wanted the divorce she would consider reconciliation. She told me that I needed to meet someone else and focus my attention elsewhere. At this point, I was in desperate shape. My health was slipping, my job was in jeopardy and I was losing my battle to save the marriage. The divorce became final on April 24th. I was lost and alone emotionally unstable and very vulnerable. I needed someone to talk to that did not know my situation so I joined a church sponsored forum for singles. I was of course not ready for a personal relationship and chatting online helped. I met several very nice women, and made a few friends, but nothing serious. I liked talking online because I could come and go as I pleased, nothing really was expected of me and I did not have to deal with a "real life" relationship. Chatting filled most of my evenings completely for several weeks.

One night in June I clicked on a link for an international dating website and I was hooked. The women were exotic and interesting and much different than the women on the other site I had been visiting. At this point I had never been exposed to international dating, VJ or any other resources. It felt good to have someone (several someones) eager to talk to me. They supported me emotionally and made me feel good about myself again and they took me away from all my worries - at least for a while. But I was still very insecure and vulnerable. Recently divorced and in desperate need of attention and support. At the time, I was not aware of the potential to be taken advantage of or the incredible lengths that some women (people) would go thru to prey on people just like me. In retrospect, I should have known better and I certainly am not proud of my mistakes. I typically act in good faith and trust everyone - and I paid for that. I sent a little money to several different women, all of which I am sure now were scammers. And I sent a lot of money to one in particular who was brilliant. She used dozens of pictures from a filipina movie star to keep me on the hook. She also used a blurry, poor quality web cam and she built an incredible story which I did not doubt (however, I am also sure I did not really want to see the truth). It felt good to be useful and appreciated. A friend of her's eventually clued me in and that ended it. It turned out that the woman who scammed me was a single mother and was desperately poor. She has since apologized and I have forgiven her. I did learn my lesson and my mistakes are easy to see now. Hindsight is 20/20.

I related that story to illustrate how people sometimes arrive in places and circumstances that are almost unbelievable before the fact. Life takes us on very strange paths sometimes. It is clear to me that I was mentally and emotionally ill for a long period of time and I was certainly taken advantage of for that. However, I suggest that those of you in a rush to condemn me for being "stupid" enough to get scammed online consider that maybe you have not been in my shoes and I hope you never have to walk that path.

Eventually, I regained my health and emotional stability. I continued to chat - much more carefully now - and weeks later met an amazing woman who is now my wife, Gladys. I have a new and much better job. My credit cards are almost paid off and I have 40% custody of the kids. My ex-wife is finding peace in her life and we are communicating now and our kids are adjusting well. So life is good! But God certainly works in very mysterious ways.



Indeed God is great all the time even in the most difficult situation. Maybe at first we can't find the answer why we suffer,but in the end we will find out the good reason behind those struggle times. I'm happy u find true happiness.I wish u all the best in ur married life. Godbless!

Philippinesengagement ring K1

Yeah, most of our paperworks are scanned and printed out except the ones where we need real signatures. The only reason I'm even bring the receipt is that we sent a photocopy to USCIS and as I've read Consul Officers HAVE THE RIGHT to ask for the original copy.

TIP: If he's sending you any gifts, don't declare the real amount as Customs at the Philippine Post may tax you even more. So tell him to declare it as a gift with less than $40 value :P You didn't hear this from a Customs Examiner's daughter haha :rofl: Is the ring still with him? If it is, it's never safe to mail valuables such as rings. A scanned version of the ring is enough in my opinion.

Taga san ka, Tine?



Sis, i wish i meet u before so i won't pay for less than Php2K for the taxes of the phone my husband sent me before :lol: I might warn him not to declare the real amount. :D
