Well, to be honest, it's not only in Philippines but globally, most prices of goods really increased. Some of it by inflation, while others are the after effects of pandemic. I think Venezuela has one of the worst inflation rate in the world right now, forcing most of its people to flee in neighboring countries. Well, lucky are those who are priviledge enough to travel & live somewhere better & start a new life.

The first guy live in BGC, the most expensive Place in the Philippines and he expect the meal there to cost 2 dollars. 😅. When they said Philippines is cheap they meant 95% of the Philippines which is not BGC or Makati. Also thats why the people there is not friendly is also because he lives in BGC most people living there are rich or middleclass. And you know well off people are snubs.

“Sinful lifestyle” 😂 For some people why bars are always attractive.

[@dorismay8383]

One can still buy a cheap meal under $2 here in the Philippines. Just go to a "carinderia" (a kind of small store with lots of different local foods). The guy from Venezuela lives in the high end area that is why everything is really,really expensive😅. If he just stay near the BGC,living will be much cheaper for him. 🙂

The only thing Zamboanga, a province located southeast of the country speaks Chavacano dialect, which is similar to Spanish but has Tagalog/Cebuano loan words. Zamboanga is the Latin America of Asia.

[@roamaroundgisg7362]

Buddy, my meal in Philippines in eateries are from .75 to less than 2 dollars a meal. Do Not refer the Fancy restaurant prices. And BGC is comparable to Singapore for its 1st world lifestyle. So again, a 2 dollar meal is already expensive for me as an Upper middle class Filipino. So take note on which restaurant u go to.

[@adrelenemaytagleong2838]

😊❤

[@justinfam4729]

The $2 meals is not fake news of course u can’t see $2 meals if u choose to walk in a luxurious restaurant… i myself live on an island were everything is more expensive but i live of $1 every meal and that’s already expensive meal for us bc there’s so much we can buy for a $1

Lol they're not if someone says you look Mexican is more than likely they mean you look indigenous Mexican because Mexican isn't a race and indigenous Mexicans look Asian

[@imdark4975]

I think the first guy or the white shirt guy been around the wrong people, or maybe he just hang around business district so much where people are sometimes much conservative a lot of people are kinda introverted. Filipinos are happy people generally, always laughing, always joking, even in tough times, so I guess he hang around people who are much introverted. And the cheaper food or things that he says, its depend on some places, go outside BGC in some EMBO barangays and things start to get cheaper, especially outside Manila.

In my opinion, generally, Calvin ignores the answers of his interviewees and doesn't build rapport.
