100's of victims over 30yrs out of millions of people ?Originally Posted by johncar54
that is true, but I've never been mugged nor has anyone in my family in the UK, and i only know of a couple of people who have, yes the risk is there, but how big is that risk ?
thou my misses aunt has been threatened with a knife a couple of times in the phils
i suppose you don't realise the risk until its happened to you and your a victim but then its too late
Just following your numbers argument. 100s means very many but then I am one person. 120,000 police in UK, average service 30 years each that might be a very, very big number.100's of victims over 30yrs out of millions of people ?

Sorry I don't want to get into an argument over this but from my police experience in UK and another 16 years as a volunteer translator in Spain, I can assure you it is very real possibly.
And 6ft 3ins does not deter pickpockets only muggers.

With all due respect. we are not interested in how long you were in the police or anything to do with theft or any other patronising statements.... the question was why cant 10000 dollars be taken out of phily each if your with your wife... Thats 2 people regardless if they married, single, divorced, gay, lesbian, or what ever.......You obviously dont have a clue to the answer, so maybe let others answer if they know..... thank you.....
(I will ignore the phrase ' with all due respect' as it usually means one is about to ignore any idea of showing respect. I note you are not an exception to that rule.)
To split hairs, the ORIGINAL question opening this thread was not 'why can't 10,000 dollars be taken out of Philippines (by) each if your (your are) with your wife.' But 'How much money can I bring into the Phillppines?'
However, as threads usually do, it had moved on to other matters, which, whilst maybe of no interest to you, obviously are to those who posted the questions. It was these members whom I was hoping to assist when I made my post. I always assume those, not interested in any particular post, will ignore them, without finding the need to 'jump and down' or throw a tantrum. But there are all sorts.

I assume it's a relatively simple matter to either search the web or to send an email directly to the appropriate government department to obtain accurate info regarding importation or exportation. I did not comment on that aspect as I was, as you say, leaving it to thoses with first hand knowledge to do so.
PS Deanotherman, you asked:- How much money can I bring into the Philippines ?
You may find the definitive answer by contacting:-
Office of the Commissioner (of customs)
G/F OCOM Bldg., BOC, Port Area, Manila City
Telephone: (632) 527-4537 / 527-4573
email: BOCCommissioner@customs.gov.ph
PPS terenchion
You may also get the answer to your question there too, if you can bring yourself to asking a Customs Officer (whom you may think is similar to a police officer) the question !!
Good luck, John
Yeah your right john...all due respect was just a cliche...... Do you ever take your uniform off???? Do you always make remarks so formal and stiff upper lip?? Your obviously not one with any humour.... I have no further questions, I rest my case........
Okay john ..... case closed now..... bieee.... adios amigo......
