hello, diba ito yung sa "western union money card"? akala ko ba mas mapapadali ang pagkuha ng money sa western union dahil dito sa card na to? ano ba talaga ang purpose ng card na to? napaka misleading naman po ng info sa western union kung hindi pala to nakakapagpadali ng pagkuha ng remittance. I thought pa naman na instead na magpila ka sa western union kapag mag receive ka ng pera eh sa ATM ka nalang deritso kasi automatic sa money card mo papasok ang pera? Mali pala ang ganun?
