I received my U.S.-issued Mastercard years before I moved to the Philippines, and after all, aren't these cards supposed to be convenient for making purchases worldwide? Why on earth would I have a Stateside relative do my shopping for me when almost anything that I need to buy is right here in Metro-Manila, and where most major retailers accept credit cards? That being said, I still do most of my shopping here with cash.
