You are very wrong, it's not the same around the world. In Western countries, even cleaners or garbage collectors can buy a home or travel around the world if they work hard. Show me a Filipino or an Indonesian worker of the same job doing that.

it's all relative. I make P15K daily here in the US and still struggle. My rent is P120K per month. Electric is P15K, Other bills, insurance, food etc is another P100k. Every month is near break-even. Asawa ko makes P6K daily part time, but her check goes towards paying off the house in the Philippines (P3.7M left). Hopefully retire in 10yrs and move back to the Philippines.

I have worked with several filipinas in healthcare here in the USA. I haven't met people from anywhere else in the world that have warmer hearts. Hard working, family focused, loving and beautiful too. I feel silly for waiting so long to decide that I will visit. I pray that God will help me find the other half of me that's been missing and bless me with a family.

Thanks to your guests for opening up about something personal. I think a lot in the west decide on a lifestyle without regards to how they will support it. It should be the lifestyle needs to fit the money you make. The wasteful spending on unnecessary things is rampant in the west, trying to portray a certain wealthy lifestyle. You also need to adjust salaries for cost of living, once that is done I think it would be close to the west, maybe a bit lower. High salary in the west but higher cost of living so that higher salary doesn't go as far, as with the Philippines, lower salary and lower cost of living, it equals out. But Filipinos have also learned to become resourceful with what they have, like using every part of a chicken for some type of food and vegetables/fruits in everything that are in abundant supply. Where Americans will go to a restaurant and pay $200 for a meal and only eat half of it and throw the rest away. Although it's nice to see the pretty ladies and hear their opinions, it's also nice to hear a man's perspective as well. Thanks for the interviews and I hope you have a wonderful day 😁

I used to work 6days here in USA

Tons of respect to the Filipino community. Money doesn't buy happiness :)

I agree, that work ethic is carried into the United States.

that is amazing, but the cost of living is less.

It's not much what they earn,but you can't compare that,each country is different,country's where they earn more are also more expensive

I think people were afraid to say, they are not paid enough... And i think the tricycle kuyah exaggerated his wages, as he thought, he would seem more dateable... It sounds like a dollar a day ... Call centers pay better .. walking street pays the best.

He’s a driver. He’s not employed by a company so you can’t ask him if he’s getting paid properly.

having lived there those salaries are really not enough for them, when they say it's enough they are only just getting by. The minimum wage in the countries allows employers to pay such low wages. I would say at least 1000Php a day(30,000/Mo) would be a basic level of life without struggle for a small family. That is just under $18 USD a day while most are making 6 to 9 a day so they really cannot get out of poverty.

Question, is there a minimum pay or salary in the Philippines?

Apparently it's 300-500 pesos per day and no over time. The bank employees monthly net is 20-25k pesos. Philippines gov need to get better and take care of the workers. I came to visit recently and just to found out...the 1k pesos is the new 100 pesos it be gone in 60 seconds if you wander around in the mall with just food & drinks,,,def can't shop with the 1k😂

Are the wages in Manila more or the same as the province?

…so my $3,737.00USD (₱210k) will do just fine. I’m headed to Cebu for 2 weeks then to Iloilo to retire. I takeoff in 40 days.

Thanks for the video. A note. People tend to create bills that meet their income. Also, the western custom of lots of time off is destructive to the person and society. One aspect of the Philippines that i do like is people always work but from what I've observed can get time off when they need it for specific reasons, like dealing with waiting in long lines to deal with various issues.

To some it seems bad but the cost of living has to be taken into account and in all cases there were no customers in sight, no customers = no profit = no wages to pay and no business. But to be fair the last guy, long hours 7 days a week ! More than I want to work.

It is a shame about the salary in most countries, but that also depends on location and cost of living where they also work and live, it is hard to obtain a decent job, especially when 90% plus go to college and Uni and end up behind a counter, bless them all...

$500 should be good if you're living in the province like a Filipino lifestyle. If you're living in the city, $500 monthly might be too low. It all depends on rent, lifestyle, how many family members, and location. Check out our monthly cost of living kzread.info/dash/bejne/X3qL1pVvldW7m6g.html

This is very sad, I'm a Filipino living in Australia and it shows how unfairly paid workers get in the Philippines. The workers in the video don't want to risk being fired so they have to watch what they say. In comparison my 1 hour of pay is equivalent to 7 days of their pay and I work 6-10 hours a day.

It's far from fair salary. They cant plan for future with that salary. Can't save anything. There boss is embarrassing the pH workers.

The Philippines really is the 3rd world, as they say about the Philippines, to have paid 7 dollars a day is a crime, I am from Romania and in my country the minimum wage is 420 euros net per month, which is very little, in Romania a fast food meal costs from 6 euros upwards, rent for a one-room apartment 200 euros without utilities, 2 rooms rent from 350 euros to me in the country with 7 euros a day you don't live

So I think I overpaid my Filipina girlfriend who asked me 10k pesos to spend the night with me lol. Gotta love the Philippines
