Interviewer instructions

Ask the respondent to give, as much as possible, the exact amount of the remittance received by the family from the member who is abroad. In case the respondent reports the remittance in different units of currency, ask for the exchange rate used when he converted the money to Philippine peso. If it cannot be recalled, accept and write the amount in whatever unit of currency the respondent reports. Just make sure that the unit of currency is indicated. Conversion to Philippine peso will be
done during manual processing. Probe further if the answer given is in "dollars". The unit of currency may be US dollars, Malaysian dollars, Hong Kong dollars, Australian dollars, etc.
