Hi everyone
Many thank to those who gave constructive responses. To those who gave non constructive responses ..............oh well, theres always a few !
I've spoken with the Allied Bank of the Philippines and they will charge £30.00 for the transfer. I go with the cash and ID (passport, drivers licence and a recent utility bill) to their branch in London and 3 days later it's available in Dipolog branch. I don't need an account but they will open me one in Dipolog when im there if I so wish so it looks like a winner. If anyone needs their details , here they are :
Allied Bank of the Philippines
114 Rochester Row, Westminster
London, SW1P 1QJ
Telephone
020 7233 6311
The lady I spoke with is called Maria Bourbon and semed very well informed and easy to deal with.
Also, she quoted an exchange rate of 70.5 peso which is spot on !
