Ian Good Morning mate, you must have bee up in the night surfing, cant sleep ? I am sorry to hear what happened to Mae, its common everywhere, but petty mugging is more common in the Philippines, despite what others may say about it, having a co-relation with UK.

As you say, you worked hard to send money for your girl, and then she reports that she has been mugged, (it really gets to you inside, but don't let it eat you up).

She will feel gutted as well, as she knew you send money for her, ask any of the girls, they will feel for you.

Take care IAN, Put this one down to the experience of the Philippines,
