Beros, does your family practice the whole Balikbayan box deal? If so, what does your family put inside the box and when is it sent to the Philippines?

Oh yeah, most definitely. My mom usually does the bulk shopping and I don't really remember too much when it's cluttered on the floor from a couple of years ago. Some I can remember are toilet paper rolls, candy, powdered coffee, powdered tea, canned spam, clothings on sale and hand-me-down clothings for the young'uns, bathroom sundires. It's usually sent sometime in the Summer every few years.

Too late, Ussi. :glare:

Lol @protein shanks.

Anyways, I'm moving today, so in the event that they **** up the internet/cable transfer, I just want to say that it was an honor knowing all of you. Because y'all know I can't survive longer than 24 hours with no internet or tv.

& make sure you go vote.

My ex's family sends their balikbayan box for the winter months/Christmas. Is there a specific reason why your family sends stuff in the summer?

I voted early because democracy doesn't like to wait. It's my first presidential election btw.

Ah I see. I asked my mom to actually confirm the details. We send ours in April so that it arrives in July only because we were going to visit the Philippines for the summer of the two times we did. Otherwise we don't really do it in a set time, only when our family there asks for assistance.

I've had trouble trusting any presidential candidate that I don't ever bother registering ever.

You can actually hear the reference soaring over his head right now.

Sounds like a 747, I kid you not.

Anyway. Voted, waiting, all that jazz.

Cool. Thanks for your responses btw. I'm writing a paper on the impact of remittances from the US to foreign countries. Ever since I was introduced to the concept of the B-box I've found it to be pretty cool since it's like Christmas in a package, lol.
