Find a filipino store, most often than not they have money remittance service for a minimum fee of $9.. they will deposit it to the recipient's bank account or sometimes they have door-to-door service..

Find a BPI (Bank of the Philippine Islands) in your area.. Your friend can claim it at BPI in the philippines, just show atleast 2 valid IDs and doestn have to be a depositor of that bank..

Im not sure with other banks, but WAMU depositors have benefit of sending money through wire transfer for FREE.. they will send it to your friend's account and doesnt necessarily need to be a dollar account.. ask your friend his/her account number and ROUTING number.. takes 3 t0 5 working days..

Easiest and Fastest way is through Money Gram or Western Union.. a bit pricey but right after you send them, its already available for your friend to claim.. 2 valid IDs needed..
