How Much Do Filipinos Earn Daily in the Province? | Street Interviews

[@TheFuentesFamily]

Everyone, please be kind and respectful to the ladies that were kind enough to share their salaries. Any negative or bashing comments will not be accepted since the ladies will probably read the comments section. Thank you everyone! ❤

There is nothing to disrespect here. You interviewed hardworking young ladies who should be commended not criticized. Interesting interviews.

I married a filipina. She’s an amazing wife, but honestly so much more than that. She works hard, is faithful, sweet , kind, stubborn, has an amazing sense of humor and personality. But what I love about her the most is she appreciates me, watches out for me and our family and is the most amazing woman I have ever met. 😊❤

[@joshuarizalforeman816]

I have nothing but respect for people like this, who work hard for a limited income but still remain upbeat and don't complain. I live in Rizal province with my family. We are very fortunate. I used to have my own business in Hong Kong which gave us a good living. I also owned property. Since relocating to the Philippines we are in a similar position, as we own property, have commercial interests and have a very decent income. My wife comes from a poor background. She fought hard to break out and made a lot of sacrifices before meeting me (I don't exactly come from wealth myself, but the situation in the UK is nowhere near as hard as it is in the Philippines for the 'lower' economic classes). We spread our wealth among the family, not through cash handouts, but by providing employment and funding education of a number of the kids. The latter is a priority as it provides an escape route. My step-daughter and niece are currently at university, studying Architecture and Pharmacy respectively, while a couple of others are at high-school, continuing their studies as opposed to going out to work. The younger ones are at various stages of school and hopefully they will do the same.

[@TheFuentesFamily]

You and your family has big heart @joshuarizalforeman816 . Every time I heard stories like this, it makes me think, what if successful people like you and your family are helping each other, a lot of people could possibly be successful in the future too. Your family must be very thankful and feels lucky. God bless you and your family!

[@joshuarizalforeman816]

I 'saved' my wife economically by extracting her from an untenable socio-economic situation and giving her a future. She 'saved' me spiritually by providing me with a life here in the Philippines. Two lost souls who found each other and have made it work. @@TheFuentesFamily

Money means everything if you have no food or shelter, if you have enough money to have safe and secure housing and enough food, then you can enjoy the other things in life. In my experience visiting the Philippines there are many that have food or shelter anxiety. I do agree that the people are amazing and that is the reason I am retiring there. However, poverty is a real issue. Cam

I have seen how hard working they are there and they are so friendly and always happy and welcoming, good luck to you all.

[@usefulrandom1855]

I assume there is no welfare state, that's the difference. I would love to know their total monthly bills though. I assume most of them are living in parents homes with family and its either paid off or very cheap.

[@leesog3203]

Cost of living is super high in England, that's the main difference. Those who don't work either have disability or are looking for jobs. Those who simply choose not to work are receiving a pittance that goes nowhere. There's still first world poverty. Of course I also admire the filipino work ethic but to us in the west, it's often times outright slavery. But one thing I will say is they're much happier people 😊

I have quite a few long distance friends there that i have chatted with for years. Just getting a job is hard due to “requirements “ which include NBI, medical, etc.. roughly 3500. Some work longer hours just for food… a university education (or college) is needed for most jobs, including cashiers ..omg. While there is a middle class, we tend to hear more about the poor. Teachers and nurses are NOT earning a lot, but enough to live on. A saleslady friend in a mall earns 10-12 k a month, six days a week and long hours ( davao)

[@TheFuentesFamily]

Thanks for sharing that @secretagent86 ! Sad but true.

[@jlawrence0181]

Excellent video. Prior to retirement, I had several Filipino accountants based in Makati for our US operations. One cultural difference between the US and the Philippines is willingness to discuss salaries. In the US, MOST employers frown on it. In the Philippines, you might as well post salaries as employees discuss it all of the time. The problem with that is that is that it is difficult to reward high performers in the office in any significant manner. Are their additional benefits in addition for employees? For example, in Mexico, employers are required to provide meals at work, grocery vouchers, social security fund payments. These benefits, in total, are worth as much as the salary they make.

[@adad1270]

Salamat! Such courtesy & smiles from these ladies! I often think of retiring in the PH, but i'd need to keep earning by teaching ESL online. This video reminds me of your lovely culture, which is so life affirming, & encourages me to come to be with you 😊 God bless the Philippines and you all!

[@ejtaylor73]

🤣 I'm one of those that complain about the phones. There's a big difference in using your phone for the questions as a part of the interview, and people constantly looking at their phone during the interview when it has nothing to do with the questions asked. Thanks to all the ladies that were willing to be interviewed. It seems there was a common consensus among them all, that the minimum wage should be raised to at least 500 pesos. That MIGHT help out families, if they're financially responsible with their money, but it could also hurt. The business owner may not be able to afford to give that much, and in doing so the business may have to close, then there is no job and pay at all, especially if the owner is only renting the building and as cost of material and supplies keep going up, it'll make it much harder to make ends meet for them. Location also matters, if it's not in a touristy area it could be difficult to get customers in to buy things, if the pay is so low, how can the average person afford an expensive electronic.

[@Austria002]

Great video! Thank you for the insights! A salary comparison between different professions would be interesting, as well as the ratio regarding income and cost of living in the Philippines. Me for example I make 22 USD per hour, but since utilities, gas and groceries went up like crazy its not as much money here in the EU as it might seem. So this ratio would be very interesting in order to undestand how easy/hard it is to get by.

[@lez075]

To live "like in Europe" you need about 50k pesos (about 800 €) in Cebu, probably about 30-40k pesos (500-650 €) in the provinces and 60-70k (1000-1150 €) in Manila. And it's not quite "like in Europe", but close to it. If you want to live like 90% of filipinos you can do it for way less than that, obviously.

About the same as Cambodia. Factory workers, garment or shoe factory, make about $150 to $200 per month. Long days, 6 days per week. That's about $6 to $8 per day. Small holding rice farmers make about $300 per crop and get 3 crops per year, but it depends on how much land they have. Many have a cow or two and the kids help out cutting grass for the cow to eat at night. When they sell an adult cow, they can get $500 so it's quite a big deal.

I struggle to understand how families can budget and still be able to shop at the mall or even a fast food restaurant. When we go to the mall and shop, I see families eating everywhere and wonder how they can afford to pay for 1-2000 peso per plate food. I cringe when I look at the menu sometimes. As well as McDo.. Its sad that the workers can work an entire 10-12 hour day and not be able to buy even one happy meal for their child. The cost for Utilities, rent, and labor are very low, but the cost for food is higher than the US. Thanks for the video. New follower. 🥰

[@TheFuentesFamily]

[@One-12937]

I was asking the same questions, but it seems like most Filipinos aren’t buying anything at the mall. They simply go for the aircon and cheap jolibee there. I took my girlfriend to shop at the mall and it was mostly rich Filipinos and foreigners actually shopping in the stores. If you go into the stores at the mall you’ll notice this. You can also see that most of the stores are practically empty, no customers. Most Filipinos are just walking around or eating at jolibee. The next time you go to the mall, when your at the exit, look around and notice no one is carrying any bags from the store. 90 percent of the people leaving are leaving empty handed.

That’s actually what my husband does every time we went outside. He tends to give a lot to the workers. It’s funny but there are times that I used to tell him to give the right amount or fair tip. I remember the next day after we got married, we went to this very fancy restaurant in Makati and I was very surprised when my husband tip the worker 500 pesos. And when he was here in the Philippines for the first time, he told me that he used to give 500 pesos tip to the delivery kuyas. He said, he just based on how much he used to tip workers in USA. But even now, he still gives big tip to the workers, I think except when I’m around 😂😂.

Wow, after watching the video I have so much respect for the Filipinos people, we were there vacation for 4 weeks, met great local people, friendly hard working people, it's hard to believe they survive on such low wages,

I send my asawa 22,000 PHP a month and she gets by on that. I'd send her more but Sydney is expensive so I just send what I can spare (I also need to save for my visit every 6 months)

[@Democracyhasfallen]

Yes she got by on 100k 😊

Any sales lady that work with clothes is a retail specialist even if they are selling electronics and if it’s food related they work in the food industry! More importantly they are entrepreneurs that create the communities for essentials that everyone needs which is crucial for any community to survive.

Imagine seeing them living with that salary and yet they are so much full of smiles and seems very happy. While most European and Americans makes 30x of their wages but still experiencing depression and always worried how to keep up with their bills.

I married in 2011 in cebu, in 2012 my wife came to Belgijm, we have 1 child. I send every month 200 euro to the mother, I help the family if they are sick, we send boxes balikbayan to the mother also to share to the family. We try to visit every year when vacation is approved to me by my work en also from my wife's work. Even that we live in Belgium, we have hy taxes expensive living.

Hello ladies from USA 🇺🇸

[@usefulrandom1855]

Wow I just worked out the hourly rate for the lady selling chicken as you put up its an 8 hour shift. Thats £0.43 per hour in the UK. For context the minimum wage is £10.42 for someone who is 23+. That is 24.2 times higher. Now obviously the cost of living is drastically higher so it's all relative to an extent. Do the video again but ask what their monthly bills are including housing etc.

Very good and respectable interview for young ladies from different walks of jobs. I found them very humble, not complaining about their meagre salaries. Talk to any North American ladies or men and you will find most complaining and whining. Kudos to you for interviewing these beautiful hard working ladies.
