I adore my brother and would do anything for him. Fortunately, I am a quite a strong character but have to admit that the sheer extent of everything does seem so overwhelming sometimes. My brother’s Filipina partner is such a sweet, lovely girl and she is finding it very tough as her whole world has collapsed and she has had to leave her home in Malaysia for good. As I have said to her before, we are a partnership, I am there for her too and we will do this together. I’ve told her about this Forum and I am sure that when she comes to live with me for a while, she will definitely be on here too. We have quite a lot of Filipinas in my area as there is a hospital close by and I have recently found a second cousin who is also married to a Filipina in the area, so I will be taking my sister-in-law along to meet her (and her filipina friends) at some stage. I think that we have now sorted the bank account through HSBC, thank you........ Please consider getting your brother's partner in contact with the wonderful Women on this site to help her and of course youHaving Tagalog speakers when its night time in phill will of course be so important as im sure she is having a tough time as you all are........... i didn't realise you were transferring large sums via bank account. Have you contacted PNB a large Phill bank who are also a remittance company here in the UK. They maybe able to once they get your details to assist you to remit large amounts to phill which you may find if the exchange rate better plus fees is cheaper far more cheaper. /[/URL]
Unfortunately, the referral/ transfer to the UK hospital didn’t go as smoothly today (Saturday) as I had hoped. Our Filipino consultant was given the run around by the UK hospital and someone told him that it should be the repatriation company contacting them rather than him. I have previously been told by the same hospital on two occasions that the first step is a discussion Consultant to Consultant to agree the referral and this was confirmed to me by them again this afternoon. The repatriation company can’t do anything until a UK consultant accepts my brother’s case. I will assume that our Filipino consultant was passed to the wrong person (probably the cleaner as NHS hospitals in the UK only have a skeleton staff over the weekend!) and I hope that he will try again with more success on Monday.
