Answer 1

Sounds like a scam indeed. I've been working for various non-profit organisations in the Philippines since the early 90s and I've never heard of this foundation.

Answer 2

Scam is the only word to describe what you narrated.  Philippine Charity Foundation is more likely a ghost organization what is existing is the Philippine Charity Sweepstates Office.
