Yet another example of why to buy your stuff in your name only.

[quote] Earning P150 a day, Ulrich Notter said he doesn’t have money to go back to Switzerland.
A native of Zurich, Switzerland, Notter worked as a painter in a private firm there and married his first wife, a Filipina.
 
They stayed in Zurich for seven years and then settled in Surigao province for four years.
 
Notter said they built a house in Surigao but their relationship deteriorated into a series of quarrels about money.
 
My ex-wife tricked me by saying the house cost only P1 million but I learned it was P3.5 million so I depleted my pension paying for it,” he said. He had no house to come home to, farmland and rice field were reportedly sold by his wife. Notter used up whatever remained of his proceeds to apply for work until it dried up.

He met a Filipina which he courted and they lived in one apartment. She taught him how to make Chocolate marshmallow, "biko", which they then made as business. Later on, he realized that the woman is a gambler and that she always asks for money. The woman left taking his last P50,000 with her, leaving without a trace.

Now he's alone, trying to make a living here in the streets of Cebu selling anything he can get (fish crackers, marshmallow chocolate). He makes so little to feed himself, luckily he has his church to feed him, but he has this apartment that he mentioned he's renting at 1,500.
 
I sell the whole day, in Carbon, in Colon, in Labangon and every Sunday I go to Tabunok to sell them,” Notter said. [quote]
