Sorry to say, you have some issues to work out. All documentation to get a passport (NSO, CEDULA, police clearance etc., all cost in the neighborhood of P200 each), and to get the passport itself will run in the neighborhood of P3000 ALL total. It currently cannot be fully processed in Dumaguete, but that may change in the near future as DFA is in the process of opening an office in Robinson's mall. I would recommend she contact Orient Wind at Hayahay, they will make sure her documents are in order and set her an appointment in Cebu. This way she will be in and out of the Cebu DFA In an hour or two, otherwise she will have to line up early in the morning, and may or may not get done that day. This trip should cost her no more than P2000 or so. Another option is to go to Bacolod but that is a 7 hour bus ride one way, and no guarantee she will get it done in one day. ANY way she does it it will not cost anywhere near P15,000, and could easily be done for less than half that. Bayawan is 90 km from Dumaguete, about P100 by non AirCon bus, P150 by AC bus, one way. DHL does service this area, as does LBC and Fedex. You may wish to inquire further before you send this girl any more money, it appears obvious she is scamming you; Pointman Cebu - Do you have questions or concerns about your Filipina being a scammer?

That's tough to read. Please break that down into paragraphs. Here's all you need to know: don't send her money until you have been here and met in person. Passports don't cost that much, buses are cheap (about 100 pesos to bayawan), hotels will run you 200 - ridiculous a night depending on how nice you want to go and how much you want to be ripped off. It ain't that easy for a local to get to Europe for vacation, she likely has no clue what to and you aren't here to micromanage the girl through the process....hire a reputable travel agency. Seems like you're getting caught up in the passport scam, you send money and the passport will be in the mail for the next....well, until you stop asking.
I can vouch for point man Cebu. Used the service once and was satisfied with what he did, although not what I wanted to hear about the relationship. Saved me 40k pesos a month in the end though. Sounds like you should follow the link if you are determined on continuing the relationship with this girl. Although this seems like a pretty simple case, best advice is to cut contact. Btw point man, I still owe you a beer.
guys thanks for your answer of my question i will think good what i will do with this girl but in the future i will stay far from her only just as friends from now nothing more with her but i will ask you guys would you like to tell me how long time need to get all that documents each other documents separate and how long time will pass to get passport ? Also would you like to sent me some link of some hotels from Dumaguete and from Bayawan City who are cheapest just to see what hotel how much will ask per night for rent because i want to ask my girlfriend some questions with any meanings just to see she will lie me or not about that and if she continue to lie me i will stop any contact with her forever i hope some of you will sent some links and will answer me of my question.
Police clearance and Cedula can be gotten in one day easily, at a cost of less than P300 or so for both. NSO documents cost P150 each, or they can be ordered online for P350 (e-Census Home Page). It takes a few days to get them. Passport will cost a total of less than P2000, and will take 3-6 weeks to get it (First-time Applicants). Dumaguete has MANY new hotels in the P800-P1000 range (These are not cheapest, these are NEW hotels, cheaper one do not usually have websites). About Check Inn Persion Arcade - Dumaguete. Hotel Nicanor gohotels.ph| A place for every Juan! Hotel Nicanor Bayawan has one new hotel/pension for P800, can't remember the name (nice), and a few cheaper pension houses. Larry
