thanks!
i did the same thing...my brother has an account in BPI and requested one for me...my application is under process now so it means the payment is OK. managers check is as good as cash and always deducted against the asset of the issuer bank and not against the account of someone who requested it.[/QUOTE]

Thanks @gparry2007 thats handy to know, we have got a friend with a BPI account we could ask, still means travelling but it now means we have some options!
