The other practical thing you can do if you have the time (which David obviously doesn't) is this:

Open an account at your own bank at home (make sure the ATM cards will work in the Phils first. Otherwise find a local bank where their cards WILL) with an ATM card. Then bring this card with you when you visit her. Keep $10 in it to keep it open. And when she needs money, you can transfer some into the account, and she can withdraw it. It's available within seconds, and there's no transfer fee.
