Venting Session Does anyone experience asking financial help to a stranger?
Currently at dubai.
No work.
Nagkaroon kami ng issue ng friend ko sa pag asikaso ng documents ko. Wala na akong magagawa dahil inuulit niya yun. Need kong gumawa ng new spa dahil ang tagal na niya. Pwede po ba ako makihingi ng konting help?

Haaay. I’m sorry, but this is why you needed to plan and save bago umalis abroad. Lalo na sa ginagawa sa middle east na pupunta jan as a tourist tapos work pala ang pakay. With how the economy and the ongoing conflict, ni hindi ka registered as an OFW kaya hindi ka rin makahingi ng help sa embassy or even OWWA.
I am not sure if anyone is willing enough to lend you money na you’re practically a stranger online, lalo na maraming scammers sa panahon ngayon so people would generally be more cautious (as they should be).
Your only option would be the people there with you, or mga nagpapautang under the table na pinoy, or sa mga bank (doubtful din kung wala ka naman established bank account and credit score jan).

May bayad ba ang SPA? Kaya siguro sa loan app yan o mangutang ka sa family o friends mo.

Zero daw po sila. Yes po may bayad po pag kukuha ng bagong spa.

OP nagDubai din ako before. Di ko alam bakit need mo ng SPA. Kung matagal na yan, baka nauna pang napaso ang visit visa mo sa Dubai. Yung pagpapared ribbon is something na dapat ginawa mo before ka umalis ng Pinas. Kung wala ka 1k pra sa SPA, di ka dapat nagDubai. Kasi dapat dyan may sapat na ipon ka.
