In the country of the Philippine the economy, cost of living, community, lifestyle and people are all unique in the land of the Philippine. The fact is where ever you guys go is really good to stay in place. But hey, if living in your fantasy world helps you sleep at night, who am I to burst your bubble of blissful ignorance? Instead of spewing such baseless and insulting claims, perhaps you should educate yourself and broaden your horizons. Your blatant ignorance and superiority complex only serve to expose the depths of your arrogance. Such a notion displays a profound lack of understanding of the complexities of poverty, wealth creation, and socio-economic factors. While poverty exists everywhere, it’s preposterous to assume that the destitute in America would suddenly transform into the wealthiest in a different nation. The Philippines, like any other country, has its own economic dynamics and social disparities. Your lack of knowledge about global economics is truly staggering, and it’s quite apparent that your understanding of the world extends no further than the boundaries of your own ego. It takes a special kind of delusion to believe that the poorest Americans or even prisoners would magically become the richest individuals in the Philippines.

Most restaurants are actually expensive as they seem have a bloated opinion of themselves and the average resto dining in meal is really not that great from a taste point of view, apple pie is almost unknown, you wouldn’t get a decent beef stroganoff and their idea of butter chicken is chicken fried in butter. The overall RISK is MEDIUM, not high at all, the quoted price for an inexpensive restaurant is actually the price of a burger king junior whopper meal, which consists of a tasty but not too large hamburger with limited filling, small fries and a cup of coke, not exactly resto dining. Average wage per day is about P600 US$11-60 by usually 6 days a week, sometimes its a 10 hour day too, so thats like $11-60 x 6 x 4.3 for a average monthly amount of US300 but remember that could be a 10 hour day and 6 days a week.
