    Nagcheck ako sa Sanry's and BDO, mas mahal sa Sanry's compare to BDO. But in Banks kailangan may account ka sa Branch na yun.

    I was able to call Czarina Forex and mas mababa nga sya kesa sa bank. Need mo nga lang puntahan sa office nila kung kailangan na agad. Ang medyo risky lang is security kasi syempre dala mo yung pera.
