i wonder just what part of pinoy remittances come from pinoys who immigrated to north america. i suspect, correct me if i'm wrong, that most of the billions of dollars comes from ofws in the middle east, europe, and asia.
I actually thought that there are more Pinoys and remittances from the Middle East but an ADB study shows otherwise. In terms of quantity and volume of remittances, the Americas overwhelm all other territories combined.
Truly one admirable Filipino trait - thinking of people back home.
And one big business opportunity for banks and other entities like Western Union. I think most if not all banks have Remittance part of their banking business.
I used to sell a locally(R.P) developed remittance system. I thought I had something in the bag with a large bank but Smart(the TELCO) came in. So out of the door we went. Aarrgghh!
Lotus Flower: Do you have a website showcasing that system? Smart, in my opinion is not very effective its remittance business. I can call on people to help you.
