thanks for the information

Meron ako isang kaibigan na nasa ibang bansa. Dalawang beses sya nagpadala sa akin ng cash thru xoom nung minsan nagkaroon kami ng legal na transaction. Legal talaga ha? Hehehe. Sabi nya kahit sa parents nya dito sa Pinas yan din ang ginagamit nya pag nagpapadala sya. Di naman po sa nagpro-promote ako ha baka lang din kasi gusto nyo subukan kasi sabi nung kaibigan ko mas ok nga daw yan. Bale sa internet daw ang transaction tapos yung pera claim sa M. Lhuillier .

mababa lang kasi ang rate ng M. Lhuillier .

Thank you sa mga nagbabasa ng posting at sa mga endorsement.

FYI, di lang po sa M Lhuillier ang pickup outlet ng Xoom. If you visit their website (www.xoom.com), makikita niyo kung sino pa ang mga ka-partner ng Xoom.com sa Pilipinas. This way, kung gusto niyong magpadala sa kamag-anak, you can choose the closest pickup outlet para di malayo ang biyahe ng recipient niyo.

Thanks again for reading the post!

Hi. Yes, you can send money from Japan papuntang Pilipinas. Just go to www.xoom.com. On the top, left side there's a drop down menu that says: SELECT A COUNTRY, just select PHILIPPINES as the recipient county.
