Banks recommended by Mike Wei
What bank would you recommend to have you money in? How do you move your money down to the Phillippines? Also what are the best places to convert your money to the peso?

Greetings, everyone. I wonder why the people in the Philippines don't show interest for seld-development. I think that "self-development" is an indirect source to enhance the international competitive power in each country. Although I have stayed ...
