    Transferwise is about as good as they get, I have used them for around 4yrs now and they have never let me down, you get the full going rate conversion and they take a commission from you, if I transfer £1000 they will take £7 from me, but now I do it in lots of £4K and it is cheaper to do that and costs me £20 in total, I guess the same applies, be it USD or Euro?, before using them I used Worldfirst, but was able cut my charges by half when I changed, great service and would recommend them.

    I went on Tuesday at 9.30am and I was the only person there. I returned the following day at 11am to pick up my passport and there was only one person in front of me. When I mentioned to one of the ladies that I was surprised that it wasn’t busy she said that they had been very busy for weeks but it has all died down now.

    I built a house in bacong. It was a nightmare getting permits. I will never build in bacong again. You can get a permit in valencia in a few days. It took several weeks in bacong. Be sure to get permits before starting construction.

    Uh, the new rules also allowed walking and some other things. But I know you are referring to restrictions on seniors.

    I am one, and I have been out a lot. Trust me, there are seniors all over, shopping, walking sitting around and no one is telling them to go home.

    Enjoy life. Go for a walk, have fun. We are getting closer to being back to normal.

    "Fake news" is a crime in the Philippines. I don't care that it is commonly used to imply something else. Questioning, claiming or implying someone is posting "fake news" when it has not been posted with the intent of intentionally spreading misinformation will result in an immediate ban when I see it, temporary at first (with varying lengths depending on the severity and context the words were used in), permanent if it continues to happen. I wish the orange clown in the US had never used the words and emboldened other leaders to criminalize free speech but this is the world we live in now.

    There is a right way and a wrong way to say you think information is incorrect or wrong. Saying "fake news" in the Philippines means "this information was posted with the criminal intent of purposely spreading false information to confuse people or spread propaganda". If this is not what you meant to say then don't use the words "fake news".

    With that being said I know that Mikal didn't use it in the legal context and was questioning if the information was accurate and current. The ban shouldn't be the standard full month for a temporary ban. I will lift it but everyone should please keep in mind the above two paragraphs. I don't really enjoy being a broken record and when I see those two words continuously being used it gets a bit irritating.

    I agree some breeds like mentioned in the previous post, are more kids friendly than other dogs. I should not choose for a Terrier , Doberman or Rottweiler and the like. However for the safety of a 3 year old boy and the dogs, never leave them alone but @least one adult always around to keep an eye what's going on to avoid unsolicited action from both sides. A boy of that age does not have any idea what is wrong or right when playing and even a well known friendly dog can react unfriendly when he/she no longer accept some kind of behavior a harmless kid might do.

    Silliman has worked for my family. My wife had a C-Section giving birth and I survived a serious stroke and my son has had 8 years of checkups there.

    Just take a look how many can do simple maths in their head and that answers all the questions.
