Cost of Living in Manila

LOL Chinese Fucktard Comment spotted. Even in its peak today, China still cower in fear of US retaliation. Despite being the bully and aggressor that it is, it's troops in reality have ZERO combat experience.

The Philippines ranks among the least favorable nations I've encountered. It consistently lands in the bottom ten of the PISA rankings, highlighting underperforming student achievements globally. The internet connectivity is atrociously poor across most regions, and "luxuries" like warm water are scarce, even in numerous hotels. Public restrooms lack basic amenities such as tissue paper, which visitors almost always have to purchase themselves.

Comparatively, the cost of living is exorbitant relative to Vietnam, yet the quality of services and goods is significantly lower. There appears to be a pervasive reluctance to work, with many seeking the easiest routes to earn money, exerting minimal effort. Government officials can retire after just 20 years of service, contributing to a lack of long-term governmental commitment. This may explain why there are no globally recognized companies originating from the Philippines, despite its large population.

Financial services like Apple Pay and Google Pay are non-operational here, and the local alternative, GCash, is exclusive to those with Filipino citizenship. Infrastructure is woefully inadequate, with an absence of traffic lights and sidewalks in many areas, increasing the risk of vehicular accidents. In remote areas, far from major cities such as Manila, Davao, or Cebu, an accident could prove fatal due to the extensive time required to access medical facilities, which are poorly equipped.

The chaotic urban aesthetic is defined by unsightly bundles of overhead cables, a stark contrast to Western practices of underground cabling and regular maintenance. Overall, the Philippines might be one of the worst countries to visit.

Ferdinand Marcos like his father is a thief.
However, the difference between Marcos and his father is that his father stole money from his people Philipino to the extent of running to a foreign country with his stolen wealth and his family including Marcos eventually.
For Marcos, he has determined to be a thief to China, not Philippines anymore or else he would not get a free pass like his father got last time so China become his target now.
The islands that Marcos is planning to steal from China are not included in the complete territory that the Philippines's former US colony master handed over to Philippines after WW2.
Simply Marcos is attempting to expand Philippines's territory after WW2 at the expense of China's territory.
People would wonder why then US endlessly supports Marcos's claim even being aware of the claimed territory isn't included in the hand-overed territory by US after WW2 and if so, people should understand the long history of terrorism US committed after WW2 from Vietnam genocide war to until the current Gaza genocide war funded by US with almost 18 billions US dollar during the last 1 year according to the recent news but the Gaza genocide fund from US is expected to be much higher than the record, there are more than dozens of war waged by US but all of them not in the light of justice but clearly in unprecedented bully and terrorism to the extent of betraying her partner Saddam Hussein who was optimistic about US but Saddam Hussein and his whole family were destroyed without mercy even after finding fact that there was no mass of destruction in Iran but terrorist US murdered Saddam Hussein anyway without law and justice.
However, there is justice that always prevails in this world according to the world history and that is no terrorist survives for very long and the endless terrorism committed by terrorist US since the end of WW2 is already over 70 years and that is already very long enough for terrorist US to continue to justify for terrorism so here comes China a heavenly gift that whoever China support between Russia and US would be a victor eventually and China is already destined to support Russia so US should be prepared for a total collapse because there is no other way according to the mandate of heaven.

Yes then more good reasons why someone with brain from the west should never go there. There is zero excuse why the country is such a shithole since their neighboring countries: Malaysia, Vietnam and Indonesia despite been also colonized they are way better. They are just low iq, corrupt and lazy that is why their women behave like that and steal westerners green card. Like someone said before they are disease ridden pieces of garbage like all the country and their whole nationality

With brains you mean by divorcing westerners after marrying them and getting their greencard? I call that diabolical and taking advantage of someone not "having brain". Also Philippines has high graduation rate and education is mandatory idk what you talking about. You are clearly a butthurt ugly Asian Filipino nationalist. You are all ugly and have low iq despite having access to education your country is a shithole and will remain as such. Also the argument that they are lower class is bs. You can say about all lower class people from the world that but we don't complain about that nowhere.

Yes, there are many who have not been given the privilege to be educated in the Philippines. But no, not all have low IQ's. It's just that the ones with brains tend to live in countries with better governments.

I've never imagined this is even possible but Filipinos are by far worse than both gypsies and Irish Travellers. If you value your life and mental health never in your life go there. I wasted money to leave exactly the same day I went there.

The first thing you should do after arriving in this country is to immediately LEAVE. You will thank me later.

Despite their very low iq and lack of any attractive features filipinas have managed to empty the pockets of desperate and loser white men. I don't want to imagine how low and big of a loser can you be that you need to seriously visit this country. I would hate to be in that situation. It's a third world disease infected hellhole sewer pit with women and men alike resembling the looks and mentality of rats

Whoever entered this data is extremelly drunk. I was renting a 1 bedroom apartment for 15k peso a month until I bought a 2 bedroom 53 SQM condo for 8m peso. Power with inverter aircon was only 3500 peso a month with water being 1500 peso a month. I had a family of four so the figures are way off. Preschool I just paid 53k peso for the year. Looks like someone just tapped in number while they are drinking.

Haters of the pilipinas. Straight up jealousy. Shame on you, they are the real package. Nothing fake about them. No Botox, fillers, no facial or body augmentation of any sort. So get your fake lashed overly madeup filtered hideous soul out of your arses and worry about fixing your personal issues and not focus so much on how naturally beautiful those women are internally and externally.

Manila like all of Philippines is an open sewage pit just like it's women are.Theres nothing remotely attractive about either

You must be an idiot to not know all Filipinas are gamers. The only reason they want american men is for a free pass into the u s.She and her family wore out your wallet. Filipinas are pros at manipulation. I visited Manila once they flocked around me like vultures but I never fed them.

I'm a European married to a Philippina on a 3A marriage visa.On January 3 2022 the Philippine government revoked all 3A marriage visas for foreigners so I had to leave the Philippines on January 9 2022.I lived in the Philippines for 3.5 years bought a house paid for it.The governments reason for revoking 3A marriage visas said too many foreigners are living in the Philippines on 3A visas.Meanwhile my wife is in the Philippines and I'm back in London.No timeline was given to reinstate 3A visas.To those planning on marrying someone from the Philippines beware because the Philippine government changes their minds at a moments notice as they wish no matter any hardships it may cause.

Men that are white u s citizens really don't care about giving philippinas love nor should they either. Philippianas are our toilet while on vacation.

Ley have u found any rich white unhealthy white men that respond to this deal u offer?

I have live for more than 4 years in each f these cities: Johannesburg, London, Dubai, Doha, and Manila. Manila is the second worst city I have lived in for the following reasons:

- The city is VERY polluted, even the rich areas are often right next to a polluted, sewage infested river. Every rive in the city is toxic.
- The air quality is VERY poor
- The people are friendly but mostly poor, kind of gullible, uneducated
- Salaries are VERY low, you will not be able to find decent work to even pay for your rent.
- It is as hot as hell

Here's a simple solution concerning costs and political agendas in the Philippines. Don't move to the Philippines go elsewhere to avoid the nonsense.
