    Yes its all true. Poeple here spend three times of what they earned, and its easy to get a credit card. While Filipinos they kept half of what they earned, the older generation but the young ones I don't know.They're extravagant now and more westernize.

    hmmm.. when i was working in the PI 3 yrs ago.. i was a freelance accountant... i was earning P300/visit & other benefits... and was able to afford to buy something which for me was such an accomplishment hehe...

    but hmmmm... my eldest sister, a 35 y/o is working full time without SSS pagibig,philheath and her salary.. guess how much? P198/day!!! below minimum wage!!! that is the present year... (a bit embarrasing to say this to the world)

    ok..ok why is that? coz there are lots of labour available than businesses who will employ you? or are there really stew-pid hehehe people who are just happy to use others? or is my sister the stew-pid one?

    to tell you also, she recently applied for a Teaching Job in Ateneo De Naga University (which hehe we think is 1 of the best schools in the country)...

    she passed her curriculum vitae stating all her work experiences, qualifications: LET - licensure examinations for teachers, IELTS and other credentials... and you know what!!! she was denied!!! she received a text message from the College of English Department stating that she was not hired due to her overqualifications!!!!! and the way it was texted!!!! which made her laugh was the GRAMMAR!!! DUH!!! how can someone message you by text? isnt that very unprofessional? what about the grammar? i thought it was from the College of English in a very wellknown Uni?!!

    so yeah, reasons:
    1) no one wants to employ you if you are more intelligent than the boss
    2) do not study & study & study... you will not please your employer hehe
    3) stay in a P198/day job than no job at all? duh!! i dont think so...
    4) if you are experiencing finacial crisis, think about those poor people...

    i dunno... help me here.. hehe... im in this bad battle hehe
