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.
Pretty much sums it up for me..
What is she supposed to say when explaining why she cannot spend endless amounts of time on the internet talking to someone on a 24 hour cable connection??
If you like her send her a tenner..That`ll get her 40 hours in most internet cafe`s..

We hear so much about the scammers and people who want to rip off the so called 'rich westerner' but are these just the few bad apples? We only (generally) hear of the bad statistics... and sh*t sticks.
Are there not just as many scammers here in the Uk?
With out a doubt..Far more scammers in the UK..
Ive been here 3 years this trip and haven't been scammed once!!
In the UK I was contacted by scammers and robbers at least once a week!!




but asking for a divorce from a man who left you for another woman is considered morally wrong.
Divorce is not allowed here by law so Im not sure what you mean??..
