Depends on where you live... in the Atlanta area there are several Asian food markets that are affordable and offer fresh vegetables & quality meat. My wife enjoys when we shop there.

I am very proud to you and your asawa-ko for enjoy to shop in the Atlanta.

That Atlanta must be a great place to live. And for us cost or affordable means nothing. U on budget Charlie?

What is "quality meat?" Maybes I txt your wife again. :P

WOW some are reading alot into a simple post. Just asked what was the correct fees for departing and some are quick to throw the don't be a cheap jerk card. Of course She will have more than enough for travel and any expenses. She said that 2000 pesos was ample and I knew better than that is why I added this post. Am well aware of the cost of living, support needs after she arrives as well. Not in need of any lectures on cost of living and suport. For those who helped with good solid information on terminal fees and taxes thankyou.

adventure509, Sorry dude, very groggy last night. No offenses meant on my part, a wholehearted apology. Mainly was trying to convey the need for x-tra dollars rather than just pesos in transit. I left Manila in May with barely the cash to get through the airport and pesos had no value once en-route. Again, sorry for the jerkishness... A sincere congrats and best wishes.

I don't think it was your post that offended adventure. It's the one posted below by TCO.

What if she wants coke or hotdog while waiting?

If you can barely give her enough money to get her to USA, what you gonna do when she becomes you sole dependent for about 6 months while waiting for Work Permit / Driver Licenses

TCO's posts should not be taken seriously. His sense of humor is not for everyone. He just likes to stir the pot here in the PI forum every now and then.

Also, he has Attention Deficit Disorder ;):star:

Ah did get a bit miffed at the suggestion of not being perpaired for what has taken over 3 years and plenty of hardships to get us to this point. But am easy going and know some are perhaps protective of the wounderful people of the Philipines both men and women that are uprooting themselfs to be with there loved ones. Am sure some are not aware of the ongoing hardships that can and will follow once you are together. So I'll step back and just take whatever post suggest for whatever was ment from them.

As for my oraginal post meaning about the fees it came out to be 750 pesos was all Alma had to pay. Any other taxes must of been covered in the purchase of the ticket. She is home now and beat from the travel. Jet lag taking its toll. Thanks for all the suggestions and information. Oh and as of yet was too tired to stop for that Big Mac. he he maybe on one of our get to know the area tours we will take care of that request. lol.

Hello all. My misses travels soon and I want to make sure she has enough for the terminal fees when she departs. What will she need to have on her? She thinks 2000pesos is enough. What does she need to have?

We just returned from the Philippines...we were visiting my wife's family.

The travel tax is 1625 PHP unless you purchased the flight ticket in the philippines like Philippines airlines. Tickets purchased in Philippines already have this tax included in the price.

If you ever return to the philippines after she has become a permanent of another country, they will waiver the 1625 PHP and she will just pay 200 PHP.

The airport fee is 750 PHP this does not change, so she will have to pay this.

2000 php will not be enough if this is her first time traveling out of the Philippines.

1625 + 750 = $2375 php

Very true but they still don't taste the same.

That is what she misses.

-P

The big thing missed for my wife was all the fresh vegetables and fish. She says everything in the stores here is frozen an it has a funny taste. I suggested we get some in cans and she was very fast to say no but I got some anyway and after she tried it I think she changed her mind cause now we only by vege's in the can.

-P

What does your your misses or mister what first when they arrive at there new home? Besides the just you or hugg and kiss. When I asked this was kinda amused and was reminded on just how lucky a man I am. Alma has a wish for a BigMac. he he.
