5:42 You were right. It is Taro root (Gabi in Tagalog). I love it. Even when I was a baby in the Caribbean, my mother would feed it to me in puree form. Today I boil them with salt without the peel on until soft, mash the Taro like mash potatoes, fry some garlic with a little bit of oil, mix that garliki oil with the Taro, and eat the mashed Taro root with 3 fried eggs (runny yolks). 🙂 DELICIOUS!
We eat it a lot normally here, since we are in a farming town, we get a lot of fresh veg. Thanks!
Looks almost exactly the same as when I visited. :)
Not much changed since they moved to the new market.. a few vendors come and go, but it changes so little.
Vege is relative expensive in ph
Oh.. I think it is actually very cheap, and fresh here. Granted that video was a year ago.. Thanks
Yes i know and the price on meat is low
For a little context, what is the minimum daily wage in that area?
here in the province is lower than the Metro areas. A day labor or house keeper makes about 300p a DAY.. some more, some less. Skilled employees can make from 500 to 1500 a day, but normally only in metro areas, where cost of living is, well higher.
@@inteland2734 For sure there are many that are very well off. But let me tell you, out here in the province, most just live day to day. I have multiple cars, bikes, trucks..and such.. but then, I make US wages.
@@PHExpatPrepper Makati being among the most expensive places in the phillipines. In provinces I seen small very modest houses rent is like 100 USD a month. A person can feed themselves very easily cooking from home with about 2000 pesos a month. Rice is like 80 pesos for kilo or 2.2 pounds for like 1.50 cents. Many people are very nice but need be careful there are also many parasites.
@@eduardomaldonado1647 I find life is cheaper, and easier out in the province. And regardless if city or province, there are always those that will try to take advantage for sure. Thanks
Minimum wage is usually $6 -$7 in the provinces. However, most poor people never make that. They work for $3-$5/day and the work is sporadic. Many girls/women who do housekeeping make $1-$3 for a whole day, if they are lucky to find a job like that in the community. That's reality. They can't afford to buy vegetables or even plant them at home because most don't own the land.
What exactly is an expat prepper
well.. I live in the PH but I am from the USA.. hence expat. and I prep..
thanks
very cheap
It is if you look at it from a western mindset, but here the prices for the locals who earn less, the prices are starting to become a serious issue. Thanks
