YES!!!  I was there for fiesta this year!  My future asawa judged the singing competition.  I really love it there.

So how much is it to send a BB box to Pateros which is still in Metro Manila. LBC charges more if the box is going outside MM. Mine is going to General Trias in Cavite. They charged me 75 bucks for a box. I don't know when is the estimated time of arrival. Probably January next year..Delivery to provinces takes more time. I am flying to the Manila after christmas. I wonder.

I am going in the opposite direction.  I want to send some of their clothes and small appliances from Pateros to Chicago.  My understanding is it is cheaper and quicker goin to the states.  I am still in the research mode.  I will probably get it all taken care of when I visit in December.  I don't expect them to make POE until February or March so a couple months trip will be fine.  My understanding is the trip can just be weeks to the states, not months.
