    There are just too many variables.
    In very principle most of the population can live on less than £1500 per year.

    The average salary is maybe P10,000 -P15,000 per year in Manila.
    Depends where you will live, what you will eat, how much electricity you will consume
    (air-con is so bloody expensive), how often you will go out. Do you smoke , drink, gamble etc you get the idea.
    GBP 10,000 should be more than OK if you are sensible and to a certain extent live just a little native sometimes.

    Have you spent time in Phils before??
    How long??
    Was it just holiday??
    What did the majority of your money get spent on??
    10,000 to 15,000 is around 1k per month or 250peso per week, I think its more than that. I know that in the rice fields near my gf province they earn around 120 peso per day, 600 per week and thats not so well paid.

    That is my bad typo. Of course it should be P10k - P15k per month.

    In Mindanao. ( Just to add to the already informative postings here and based on what i saw ) :
    Rent for 3 bedroom appartment {decent by our Westernised standards} 6000 a month
    Rent for a beautiful 5 bedroom house ( new build} 12,000 a month.
    Food for a week for a family of 5 including a good standard of fresh fish, chicken and fruit etc approx 2500-3000 a week.
    For really far out in the provinces, food and basic amenities are still a lot less than the above!
    My GF and her family could easily live on 1200 a week if i let them!! i prefer to help out though..............
