    I read about this years ago and what I understand is that 15.4% of the rich people lives in Luzon, especially in Metro Manila and neighboring CALABARZON and Central Luzon where we live today ever since 1998 and we do see rich Filipino neighbors who like flaunt their wealth every which way with their huge mansion homes, 3 to 5 luxury vehicles with their 3 to 5 live-in domestic helpers and drivers.
    In our gated community, if a family's gross income isn't between P2 to 3 million a year, they would not be able to afford to live in our area.
    We have a small home and 2 used vehicles, no live-in domestic helpers or driver, but at least we live in a nice, safe and clean area.

    I'm poor, both here and in the Phils. Got most of the basic 'stuff' that I need... and the love of a good woman.

    Also healthy, happy, and glad I don't have to hide behind walls and armed guards.
