To further cement in place the "Filipino connection" to the USA...the ex-pats in 2005 remitted to their homeland over $10 Billion USD for their families...as of May 10, the Philippines has a population of 110,822,682 with a median age of 25.7 years...hence the use of technology /phones/texts, etc. Compared to the median age of 38.1 years in the USA.
The world average is 29.6 years...You are dealing with a younger...tech-savvy...mindful of their elders' society. They will spend what is necessary to accomplish the goal. As JLang posited "nobody rational has to fear."
