ironically, most of the richest people i know in cebu don't carry around the latest and most expensive phones...
I was just gonna say.... the ones that can really afford those phones are the ones that are using crappy phones. A good and close friend of mine (who runs his own business and gets regular cashflow by the millions) is using a couple of simple phones - nothing flashy but it fits its purpose. While others - who skips lunch and rather use the money for LOAD - are the ones carrying the latest phones out there.
Seriously - status symbol ang telepono diha sa Pinas. I've never heard of people switching phones so many times in 1 year. Phones are like cars diha... they can trade it in to get a newer model. Makit-an sab nimo diri sa forum... people inquiring about the latest phones and talking about saving up para makapalit. Pero people like these gives you business

... so you really can't complain.
