Your Messenger message:

 "Hello sorry If i will ask u..., my friend ko po kase binili nyang oracion gayuma with panyo and something pa. Tinry nya but hindi natapos yung 49 days. Pero bumalik sa kanya bf nya but di nya sure kung effecto ng orasyon yun or dahil binibigyan nya ng money. Then nung naging sila di ok yung bf nya pineperahan sya then iiniiwan iwan sya. Do you think epefto yun nung gayuma? Or just because dahil sa money. But now hiwalay sila. May bad effect pa din ba sa kanya yun? Kahit hiwalay na sila and di naman natapos yung 49 days?"
My reply:

 Hello _______!

 The relationship did not work out because it was a feudal relationship--one person provided money and the other person depended on receiving it. This is the kind of long-term relationship that develops between a client and a prostitute.

 The inability to do a 49-day oracion has nothing to do with this doomed relationship.

 Ask your friend to do a novena to Saint Anthony of Padua (patron of partnerships), and then a novena to Saint Jude Thaddeus (patron of the impossible), and then a novena to Saint Rita of Cascia (patroness of abused wives). Your friend will STILL be in a doomed relationship.

In cases like this, the persons concerned should desist from magic and prayer and should focus, instead, on developing their personalities.
