    baka ibig sabihon dahil citizen makakautang, walang problema sa legal na trabaho and best of all, can avail of your own personal chapter 11 in case magipit

    Citizen kasi, they can get what they want as long as they have a payslip.

    It is easy to apply for a credit card or a loan. Halos hinahagis nila sa muka mo yung pautang.

    Their currency is stronger than ours. Imagine if you could buy a Evo for 30,000 pesos? Ang daming bata meron nun. Image being able to afford a Ferrari for 150,000 pesos. Kahit maglagay pa ng 100% markup from US price 60T and 150T isnt that big as compared to prevailing prices now.

    Imagine you can buy a laptop for P700 or a Xbox for P150 lang and games for P50 each.

    kuya, since nag--analogy ka na rin nang prices according to PHP, pano ka makakabili nyan kung ang kita mo ay lets say 15 pesos per month?

    Minimum wage in NCR for service-oriented business with less than 15 employees is P288.00/day. Where did you get 15 pesos per month?

    I dont see the US being able to sustain such a culture for too long. Laki ng trade deficit nila with China. The place to be to make your fortune is in Asia and not US/EU unless happy ka na sa American Dream.

    I dont live in the US. If your aim is for the short-term and if you want small time go to the West. If you want to make it in the long-term and want to hit it in the big time come to the East. Just observe how many westerners are clamouring to enter China/India. These two countries make up about 3 billion people. Imagine making 1 peso off each Indian/Chinese person... instantly 3 billion pesos ka na! You can buy your own tropical island and hire the Abu Sayafff to provide security. ;)

    Kahit sa Pinas me kumikita dito sa piso piso donation... He just has to wear funny threads and people pelt him with 1 peso coins. He lives in Ayala Alabang has a built-in elevator..

    It is more convenient to waste your dollars in Asia because of the high inflation rate.

    may advantage pala ang citizen versus non-citizen. that's interesting, might work in my favor when i am looking for a job there

    no need to apologize pare, if that is what you observe, then that is added information for all of us.

    sa States kasi, kahit yung mga blue collar/odd jobs, kaya nila bumuhay. KAhit magpa iba-iba sila nang trabaho ok lang. Dali pa mag credit

    .. i think it's an observation of a "different" lifestyle .. not necessarily american .. since we come from different backgrounds .. it's only natural that we will see the differences of how other people live .. it's not better .. it's not worse .. it's just different ..
