My cousins are planning a surprise trip for their parents on their marriage anniversary. I think it’s a rather sweet way of wishing your parents on their special day. They saved money from their pocket money but are falling short of a few peso. I was so touched by their warm gesture that I thought of helping them out. I told them that I’d sending some cash for them. They hesitated for a while but when I told them that their parents are dear to me too they agreed.
I thought of sending some cash but since none of my cousins have a bank account in the country I was in two minds about going about this. A friend of mine told me about Remit2Home’s Cash pick up facility which is available at various bank branches across the Philippines. Hence the receiver need not have a bank account to receive the remittance. I was relieved to learn this because I didn’t want to shatter my cousins’ hopes.
My cousins received the money and thanked me for helping them out. All I could think of was why such a great idea never crossed my mind when I was in the Philippines?
