The average salary is 300 pesos a day, that's like SIX DOLLARS A DAY, for a 10 hour shift! 6 x 30 is $180. So the average salary there is LESS THAN 200 USD PER MONTH! Nowhere near what you presume. Someone must have badly misinformed you or misled you. Some even make less if they work under the table. If they make more than the minimum wage, than they are lucky. But it's not easy to get a job that pays more than that.
Okay, okay, Winston. hehehe. I am not an expert on Filipino salary amount. Unlike you who had (or are you still living there?) the opportunity to live in the Philippines to get to know the average joe's salary of blue-collar workers in the Philippines.
But daaannnggg!!! I did not know that average Filipino's salary is SIX DOLLARS PER DAY!!
They probably leech off of us foreign males who want to date or get engaged to a filipina. Nah nah nah,....I am just kidding!I don't know how they live on that, but they do. No one can explain it well. It doesn't add up though, because their cost of living makes their salary unliveable. Many things are expensive there. So I don't get how they live on less than 200 dollars a month.
LOL! I like how some Filipino's, including my ex-fiancé and her family, brag about how "little" they can live off of. Yeah, some things do not add up with what a lot of Filipino families claim, and how much they actually have saved up.It's not enough to even eat twice a day, let alone have money for transportation or utility bills, etc. Filipinos can't explain it except to say "we use survival skills".
