Where & how do I send money from Philippines to the US?

Care to elaborate? 

Are the funds cash left in a drawer?  Funds in a bank account?  Negotiable stocks in a safety deposit box?  Priceless jewelry accidentally left behind?  Bars of gold left under the bed?

What kind of problems is she encountering?  How is she trying to transfer the funds? 

Inquiring minds want t know......

Has anyone tried to deposit/send funds to a USA checking account from the Philippines? If so, what bank and how?

Perhaps Western Union to you in the US, probably need to pick up (I doubt they will deposit to a checking acct).

Sending USD from the Philippines: Who here has sent a large amount of money to the USA without using BPI or other banks? Sure seems like the rate for doing this is a bit high and I already have to pay a fee in the states for them to receive the incoming transfer. Anyone who has personal experience SAFELY sending a large amount from Philippines to the USA? Please message me in private. Thanks-Jimmy

Why message in private? The answer will benefit those reading the thread, right?

Can you PROOVE you have moved the amount TO Phils ?

If so you can use this prooves to be alllowed to move out SAME amount.

Moving out any biger amounts than that are ILLEGAL. 

Smaller amounts are allowed.   I believe max 10 000 pesos alternative 1000 usd but that I got from rules when travel with them. I dont know max when just sending.

Dfferent rules when something is BOUGHT from someone living in USA.  Recently it was no problem for one to send I believe 400 000 pesos worth to USA, I dont know which currency, when he bought assets in Phils belonging to Filipinos living in USA.  I GUESS they used Western Union because I know the seller wanted that.

You dont need to prove he moved that amount to PH, he needs to prove how he obtained the money. Mayb he purchased a property 20 years ago and the value is much more. As long as he can show the IRS then its not an issue.
There4 NOT illegal as you claim.
Or mayb he has a business in which he obtained the money, again he would need to pay taxes but not illegal.
The smaller amounts that you are suggesting are amounts that dont throw red flags at  the IRS. U send more then 10 k they will start asking questions, if under no words most likely as long as you are not doing it every day. I think there is a limit on how many times chk IRs for that answer.
