just a comment re the salary na Php 25,000 per month. coz i think it will prove helpful to those cebuanos considering relocation. lets say taga cebu ka, then you are relocated to manila. you dont have relatives or friends there to assist you financially.

if 25,000 pesos, kuhaan pa ng tax.. lets say u'll end up roughly 20,000 pesos per month..
deduct rent for a room (say 2k-3k) , electricity & water (500?/mo) , transportation from house to place of work (max budget 100-200/day), daily meals budget (200).

ull have roughly 5k per month to spare for clothing, meds, misc.. or less than 200 pesos per day for 30days.
and oh, hmm, what about communication? youll have to spare for load also.. (deduct it from the 200 per day)..

super antigo jud ka mag work backwards para maka save jud ka..

then again, in this situation, and you can earn naman 10-15k net in cebu where you have your
family, relatives & friends around -- better stay... (budget wise lang..)

Sa Lung Center?! I hope walay sagol lungs ha! Hehehe

yeah, sunday market at the lung center near quezon memorial circle in quezon city. daghan jud barato unya you'll find almost everything that you need and want especially food. maka tsamba ka makakita ka pa well-known personalities from showbiz.

There is a pychic income of living independently should also be considered. I went to Manila, because I want to try out living on my own something I'll never be able to do if I'm in Cebu.

Btw. if net nimo 20k then this is a possible breakdown of living expenses.

Savings 4k
Rent 4k (including utilities)
Food 4k
Transpo2k
Cellphone + Laundry 1k

Then 5k could be disposable income. That should be okay assuming you're not to magarbo with your lifestyle.

daghan man gyud patintal sa kwarta sa Manila... pero daghan man sab ways to save...

for example, buying shoes, clothing, and accessories from greenhills, tutuban mall, or 168 mall instead of at the boutiques...

Food prices are expensive. Wrong.
There are still inexpensive fast food restaurants or carenderias. Usually they’re found close to schools or universities.

TAMA!! sa atbang sa Farmers na merkado sa araneta nay fried rice tag 5php ug bicol express tag 20php na bungog kaayo

It is dirty and noisy. Wrong.
There are a lot of good, quiet and clean places to hang around, and the good example is Bonifacio High Street in Taguig City.

BOni high (a.k.a the fort/serendra] one of the best places hahahah played at mag:net cafe and got krispi kremes whoo sa serendra i recommend the bar called FEZ i never thought flying tigers could get you drunk hahaha



MY 2 cents:

MURA DAW SA GREENHILLS?? : WRONG!!!!

if you wanna get good shirts i suggest you got to RECTO kay akong na palit na mga tshirt sa greenhills tag 280-250...gi libot jud nako tanan..sus sa recto tag 125-150 ra diay hahaha...

and for good house appliances or any other electronic device you got to go to PIER 8 warehouse hehehe


ang naka bati sa manila: mga bisaya na mangilad ug lain bisaya...ataya ani na sitwasyun oi.

Mas barato siguro sa 168 or Tutuban.
