About £25 to £30 a month at present exchange rates would be enough money to be able go to the web cafe every day including jeepney rides there and back.Originally Posted by keithAngel
There is a big difference in simply telling the truth i.e. "I am poor and dont always have a spare 200 piso a week for the internet cafe" and my carabous leg has fallen off scamming and you are the one who is in the best position to assess at what stage of contact you are at!!
If I were talking to a really interesting friend who stimulated me and had become an important part of my life etc but they happened to be poor I might consider sending a little net money it would depend on such things as how long Ive known them how often we talk and what I feel about them.
I myself do not subscribe to "a good Filipna would rather die than ask for help" version niether would I be stupid, trust your own feelings in this and look at it from the others shoes.
