Hello,
I'm from Philippines. I'll be settling in Singapore over the next 1.5-2 years. I have a family back in Philippines. I wanted to know which would be the best way to send money back home? I tried to look through the web, but couldn't find anything significant. Can someone help me out please.
Thank You

So.... which is it? Philippines or India? You are violating forum rules by cross posting in multiple forums... but, I'm leaving them for now... how can you be from India and the Philippines at the same time?

Rather than commenting on me. You can ask me why I was posting for both countries @sundaymorningstaple. I have my family in India, Singapore, Philippines and Bangladesh. Is there a problem if I post about it? The main thing remains is that I'm currently working in Singapore. So rather than questioning me if I'm a spammer, You should rather not comment before knowing the back story.
I don't want any leads. It was a genuine question. If you don't feel like answering, Then just don't post.

I can see that who is spamming my posts now. And how jobless you are to actually read the comment and reply back to me. And thanks I don't want to waste time on you. If people find my request genuine they will reply. I don't have time for people like you.

Apparently, you also have family in London, Sydney, and Malaysia, is that right?

My God,
You are the most jobless person I've ever come across. Go ahead stock my instagram snapchat and any other social media you can think of. Joblessness at another level. And if you have a problem please ban my account. I'm not posting ads of any sort so my request is legitimate. And to save you sometime, you can go and check on other forums as well as I don't care what you think. I'm looking for some answers, If you help well and good if not then happy stalking. haha.

He sure is getting antsy since being called out.
The funny part is that he's still saying he'll be soon coming to Singapore in 1.5 to 2 years but he's posting from a Singapore ISP already. Such a douche. Oh, and there is a difference between an illegal advertiser and a boorish troll, but I think I know what his problem is....

When douchebags like you don't have the IQ to think, you shouldn't comment also. What I actually mean by the comment is I'll be shifting to Singapore for 1.5-2 years douche and I'm here temporarily douche. So please keep your joblessness to yourself and keep stalking.

I was going to reply, but your post says it all. Anybody with a modicum of English will understand. It's pretty obvious that you went to a 'reputed' uni in India.

Yes I went to a very reputed uni, And I'm not here to prove that to you. The kind of language you use, You're the worst moderator I've come across so far. Anyways I don't want to spoil my mood talking to you. Hope you will help others on the forum rather than just commenting and stalking their location and Facebook.

Oh, are you on Facebook? I hadn't checked to be honest. Is it worth my while? I'm afraid you have me mixed up with another poster.

Yaa the other moderator had stalked me. you can also go ahead. And post it in this group. Just saying you're not helping anyone here. I genuinely came here for help. But, if this is what I get in exchange, then I'm better off myself. Thanks anyways. No hard feelings from my side atleast.
