OH TIM !! What have you done?
Her parents are not big hearted loving anything!! They are THIEVES ,and they have stolen from YOU!!.
Did they fetch the Barangay captain and report a theft?
No..I didn't think so. That is a huge amount of cash to lose and a really painful lesson to learn..
Its no consolation but it would have gone eventually anyway in the kind of businesses that you had in mind to start.
How long is your visa valid for? How much cash have you left?
Do you have a return ticket?
Whose paying for your apartment?
Whose paying for daily expenses?
If this happened to me I would visit a local policeman and offer him 30%/40% what the hell 50% finders fee..That might help the cash turn up..
Where are you exactly?
Let us know how you are doing. Keep us updated.
