keep saying it's all proportional. Money here is easily earned but if you use it for daily living, there's still some left for you to save. Pero sa Manila, like my wife told me, she works and works pero cannot have something set aside to save dahil sobrang baba ng sweldo. She used to work sa call center which gave her PhP15k and that's roughly $300 for a month. Tapos bawas pa tax, etc. Ako I'm able to work in a small store for $400 a month plus my second job that rakes in $200 a month (which I still have time for, and I'm also a full time student). Time is not utilized well considering both traffic, how the people tend to get laid back and relax/lenient, and the "mamaya na" mentality.

Great dilemma is the market in the Philippines is product-based. The service, labor and pagod that Pinoys put out is not compensated nor paid for. Instead, they consider it part of the product.

Pero in the end, who profits? The manufacturers, not the employees.

[SIZE="3"]OT: true: greed kci ang uma-andar sa mga employers kaya mga employees wala sila masyado kinikita kundi employers lang nila ang yumayaman. feasible naman talaga na pwedeng bigyan ng malaking sahod ang mga workers kung talagang ang gobyerno natin ay gagawa silang ng paraan. maraming paraan dyan na pwedeng gawin na taasan ang sweldo. kung ang gobyerno ay alam nila ang gagawin nila. anthing is concievable, kung alam ng gobyerno ang gagawin sa mga employers/companya. 'GREED' lang talaga kci ang uma-andar kaya ang standard of living sa pilipinas ay mababa. pero it's feasible na pedeng gawin higher than standard of living ang pilipinas. kung gawin nila ay by the income bracket ng isang employer or company. isang example lang ito; pero meron numerous ways jan na pede. Greed lang talaga kci ang umaandar sa atin eh!. ung tao nga nakapunta sa bwan eh. yun pa kayang taasan ang pasweldo ng mga workers di magagawa?[/SIZE]
