We had recently rearranged whatever furnitures we have at home. We put the desktop computer in the small room without checking first if there was a phone jack that we can use for the internet. There is none. So now I’m “stealing” bandwidth from the numerous wifi signals at our apartment complex.
Anyway, I had sent a balikbayan box to the Philippines yesterday. It’s only my third time in six years to send a box back home and this one isn’t even going to Angeles City (my hometown). There really is no need for me to send anything to my two ate’s in the Philippines. My mom and my other siblings regularly send them boxes from the west coast.
The first time I used Bagaheng Pinoy was in 2006, when I sent our oldish desktop computer to my nephew. The second was in April (or was it March?) of this year. The third time was last night. The box was delivered at our home on Friday night, eventhough I called them late on Thursday afternoon. I often forget the name of the man who delivers and picks up my boxes. He used to work with an old Korean guy named Park 
Two other Pinoy guys accompany him now.
Sending a door-to-door box from Korea to the Philippines isn’t cheap. A regular box is 70,000 KRW to Metro Manila, while a jumbo box is 100,000 KRW.
It usually takes Bagaheng Pinoy two weeks to deliver the boxes to the Philippines from the time their container leaves Korea. Other balikbayan box services that I know of are SuperGem and Kabayan Express. April of T-bone Steaks shared with me the number of another balikbayan box service but I lost it.
You may call 010-9167-4417 for more details on sending a balikbayan box from Korea to the Philippines through Bagaheng Pinoy.

hi.. can i ask if how do u communicate to philippines using cards or stuff? mostly what network ang ginagamit ng mga filippino na nasa korea to communicate to philippines?
There are lots of phone cards that you could actually use for that. One particular card is TNT international card which sells for 13,000 won and is good for 70 minutes. Pag gusto mo naman na mas matipid just use Yahoo messenger na lang but i prefer SKYPE kc mas clear both audio and video niya then pwede mo pa lagyan ng load which is 10,000 para maka-call ka ng landline and celphones sa pinas plus may free calls din siya pro selected cities nga lang worldwide pro pag landline sa korea free siya.
hi,, betchay tanong ko lang about s box ko kasi nov. p un n pick up until now hindi p nadedeliver sa bahay namin can i ask your phone no. here in phil. thnx
hi roxanne! i’m sorry but i think you misunderstood… i’m not connected with bagaheng pinoy, i just use them whenever i send a package to the philippines… so far eh wala pa naman akong naging problema sa kanila
