Hmmm.....

I don't think I could handle that and I would be outta there.  No problem to buy them all a meal, but bluntly asking for money at first meeting would be out of bounds.

Yes I agree with that as it would seem to me that it would be an ongoing thing.I am lucky I have never had that.

20 miles up the mountains on a jungle road and relying on a relative to give you a ride out of there?   I don't think so.

Now you put it like that it seems more acceptable.

Approx 14km up mountain dirt/rock roads to get to her parents place

I must have been lucky my wife`s family only live 13km from the main road.It is different now as the road goes nearly all the way there and soon there will be a Ceres bus service passing nearby.

 Took my wife 15 years in Post at her job to get anywhere near that amount + anyone earning that amount will not be Interested in the likes of us! IMHO and they certainly will have left the  Mountain

That's probably about the average call center wage, my gf was earning about 35k per month for JP Morgan, now 50k as a Virtual Assistant. I've just hired a 22 year old for 33,000 per month for content writing.
If a Filipino learns close to perfect English then they're pretty much guaranteed $500+.

I think there's plenty of middle class Filipinas who would still like a foreigner, we generally have other things going for us over the men here than just money, from what I've heard anyway lol.
