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
