In Manila, the general salary is also higher than in China. However, the local people's salaries are ridiculously low. Here, the average salary for formal positions is over 10,000 RMB, while locals only earn 3-4 thousand. Almost all rental housing, Chinese food, and Western food in the city center are prepared for foreigners, which is no wonder some locals are driven to desperation and resort to robbery.

The Philippines is quite comfortable if you have money.
I have basically traveled all over Southeast Asia.
Since you have arrived, make yourself comfortable and treat yourself well.
It's also a sign of poverty, due to which various problems arise.
The wealth disparity in the Philippines is stark, and the data speaks volumes. The Metropolitan Manila area accounts for over 60% of the Philippines' GDP. Even more alarming is that the wealth of the entire Philippines is almost concentrated in just three districts: Makati, BGC, and Ortigas Center.
Philippines always puts money first
