Are Filipinos Brand Conscious?

[uls]

Brought him to Intramuros pero puro foreigners din nakasabay namin.

I wanted him to try Jollibee ayaw naman. Hahaha. Maarte din. BTW we went to Lego store in BGC tapos hobbes and landes in BGC and Greenbelt, sobra mahal daw ng lego sa Manila, 50% more expensive pero ang dami daw bumibili dito. Inulit na naman niya na we Filipinos are rich

Makes me wonder bakit nga ba poor country tayo and yet everything is so expensive. I was surprised that US products are cheaper in Europe than PH.

Yun nga. Napansin niya kahit mahal handbags and Lego ang dami pa rin bumibili. Kaya naisip ko brand conscious nga ba talaga Pinoy. Kasi mas maliit naman average salary natin than DE, FR or NL pero Filipinos buy the same designer goods. Unless nga majority e fake. Sa office pa lang namin liit liit ng sweldo pero lahat naka mid range designer bags and shoes. I dressed really simple but decent during the visit of our VP para nga maawa sakin tapos nasira plano ko kasi dami daw pera mga employees sa PH.

baka akala niya hindi alam ng mga tao dito sobra mahal ang imported

kaya may bumibili parin kasi walang paraan bumili sa abroad

hindi kasi lahat ng tao dito may tita sa abroad na nagpupuno ng balikbayan box

hindi lahat ng tao dito nakaka travel

kaya kahit mahal bili parin

hindi dahil mayaman

I replaced my RL wallet with vedasto leather wallet worth 500++. Nabili ko sa booth nika sa festival before xmas. Highly satisfied and proud to use a local made wallet.[emoji3]

Weird e marami naman OFW na pinoy. Lahat ata pinoy may kamaganak sa abroad. If they can afford expensive items then they can probably afford to travel for shopping?

Si shadow alam ko sa US din namimili.

kasi nga people want nice things

kahit maliit sweldo pinag iipunan

siguro ang thinking ng boss mo pag mayaman na tsaka bumili ng nice things

that's not how it works for most people

hindi ganyan mag isip ang karamihan ng tao

hindi ung pag yumaman na tsaka bibili ng magandang gamit

hindi ganun

Yes exactly. I think that's how our VP feels nga.

It should only be a small portion of the salary.

kung lahat ng tao maghihintay yumaman bago bumili ng gusto nila mamamatay ang ekonomiya

I thought I read mamamatay na sila HAHAHA

So we are similar to the US na consumer culture. It seems like much of Europe is above or beyond just being consumers.

easy to understand your boss

Germans hate debt

Both my boss can get an Audi as a car plan pero our AVP bought an Opel and our VP a Golf para no payments needed. Maliit lang naman dagdag for Audi pero ayaw nila hahaha.

sa lahat ng europeans, Germans prefer cash the most

Good point. Greenbelt and BHS aren't representative of the entire Philippines (very, very far from it actually). Most expats stay within the confines of BGC and Makati so they think the average Filipino is more prosperous than they really are.

^High Street and Greenbelt nga lang. How'd you know? But BGC and Makati are CBDs so there are a lot of employees that represent people from all walks of life pa rin eg blue collar, tellers, call center agents, managers, VPs etc

Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk

It's an assumption really as that's where one would most likely take an expatriate boss (unless they specifically request for Tiangge then there's Greenhills). That's why in Makati CBD and BGC, you will see that the office crowd really buy at Market!Market!, SM, and Landmark. They will probably go to High Street, Glorietta and Greenbelt to walk around and perhaps eat.

like Uniqlo

Uniqlo is my go-to shop for "no brainer" wear nowadays. Good pricing, designs and fit.

Yes, my new past time is watching Filipino youtube channels Mapapa iling ka na lang sa mga Filipino personalities sa youtube. Bumili ng hilux e pareho naman hindi marunong mag drive! How impractical is that? It took over a month before they got to use it. Ang matindi pa, they budgeted 150k to make it RICEY!

Bumili pa sila nung mga pots and pans na worth hundreds of thousands na hulugan din!

I saw this couple's finances evolve, discovered them Dec 2016. Their online business picked up in 2017 so that's when they bought the hilux, rented a bigger apartment and started with skin care such a GLUTA IV. At totoo yung sinabi mo re owning a vehicle, puro road trip na sa North and South. The sad thing is their only son studies in the same school If I were a parent the biggest chunk of my budget would go to my child's education and housing.
