What does this have to do with Travel and the Philippines?
Jesus had nothing to do with banking.
“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money." (Matt 6:24)

Regardless of what anyone said about banking, I'll continue to bank the old-fashioned way - under my mattress.

Jesus hated the moneychangers for handling money inside the temple. He wasn't against bankers. He was for accountability. If you owes taxes or borrowed money, then you need to pay up!!!! Jesus on TAXES: "Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?” But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, “Why put me to the test, you hypocrites? Show me the coin for the tax.” And they brought him a denarius. And Jesus said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” They said, “Caesar's.” Then he said to them, “Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.” - Matthews 22: 17-21 The Bible on borrowing: "The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender." - Proverbs 22:7 Another quote on being accountable for your actions! "Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed. Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law." -Romans 13:7-8

Give to God what belongs to God, and give Caesar what belongs to Caesar.
It's an anecdote while he was preaching with his disciples and they have to pay their taxes too like the inhabitants of their region. You will find the bible text in Mark 12:17
