Kung walang conversion sa pera mas mahal diyan sa pinas.
Example: Pinas-----men regular haircut- 30 pesos
U.S-------men regular haircut- 15 dollars
Pinas-----1 case of beer-375.00 pesos
U.S-------1 case of bud- 14 dollars + tax 8.25%
Pinas-----Car (example 2008 accord V6 loaded) almost million? correct me if Im wrong.
U.S------Car same thing 2008 Accord V6 ( built your own accord w/ all available accessories) about 30,000 to 35,000.
So, if you compare all those amount, philippines cost more.

A styrofoam bowl of instant "genuine" Pinoy chicken mami cost $3 at the Pilipino Store. I thought it was kind of expensive considering it looked like regular ramen to me. There wasn't even any chicken, just the powdered broth.
I bought a few bowls, anyway.

Haircut, definitely.
Pumunta ka lang sa UK ang gupit doon aabot ng GBP7.00 (PhP560 as of this writing). Sa atin PhP50 lang may libre pang masahe :p
