Here in Tagbilaran you see more brand new cars then old wrecks..These Mitsubishi Monteros and Strada and brand new Ford pickups are nothing out of the ordinary..In the 80`s anything new was a head turner but
no one even seems to look twice at the new Beemer people carrier here these days.
I admit..It doesn't add up but thats just how it is here these days.

I dont know about that area but plenty of people In the wifes area doing ok it seems (they were fairly well off when she left) although some familys struglling with the exchange rates if provided for solely by ofws.

Plenty of the Wifes peers have jobs in Manila or the surrounding areas working for the uusal companies and quite a lot reading between the lines are copying the west and going credit crazy Which with the mentality of many phills i have met live today not save for tomorrow is a little worrying!!
