I just went to the local market and bought two carrots, one corn, and a small piece of ginger, totaling over 140 pesos. The boss rounded down and only charged 140 pesos. Back in my hometown, this would only cost 5 yuan. A Filipino senator said that 60 pesos a day is enough for an ordinary Filipino to buy food.

Why do you even come here if you compare everything with domestic standards?
The video shot by a local before, she needs at least 140P a day, all bought directly from 7-11.

If you don't have money, just eat something less fancy; you won't starve to death.

Oh my gosh, to think that they say Filipinos can live on a few dozen pesos a day, what a rip-off!

You buy water spinach for 10P a bunch

Filipinos also eat what ingredients, eat fried chicken

Actually, the cost of living in Manila is quite expensive, other places are really considered cheap.

When the economy is bad, it's always the common people who suffer.
