Q: I'm sending a birthday card to the Philippines to my parents. I was just wondering if it's ok to include $50 inside the card. (It's a pretty thick card). This would be a faster way to send money.

A: yeah it would probably be okay, but i'd send it recorded delivery so that if it gets lost they will reimburse you the value. that's just to be safe incase it is stolen or whatever. This probably won't happen though
