why don't you ask your wife? cost of living in any place depends a lot on a person's lifestyle, what could be enough for someone might not be enough for another.
but for me personally, Php 5,000 is not a lot if I'm in the Philippines.
If you want her to live comfortably then send as much as you can without you ending up in debt.

anong kalokohan 'to?

Before my mom went to her medical I wasn't too concerned of this sputum test in SLMC, but when they told her she needed one that's when I really started reading/researching about the experiences of people who have/had to undergo the same procedure all over the internet and not just in VJ forum.
Anything (even a slight blur) they see on the x-ray plate is a reason for them to ask for sputum tests. I read somewhere that they (SLMC) became "strict" when the embassy complained that a lot of Filipina fiancees who arrived in the US are TB positive the past few years (I don't know if this is true).
Anyway, not all US immigrant applicants in the Philippines post in this forum, if you think you don't see a lot of members who say they were found "positive" then you don't need to be worried. I didn't post on your thread for you to be worried, I was just sharing something that we experienced so that you will be MORE informed because I would have gladly appreciated if someone told me about this issue when we were in the early stages of my mom's application.
And about your second question, please don't be arrogant. Don't you think that maybe people are not answering it because they don't know the answer and they don't want to give a wrong advice? You are not paying anyone here to answer your question please be nice.

just don't watch WOWOWEE, its full of #######!!! specially that stupid Willie Revillame who loves exploiting the poor as well as the dumb balikbayans.
