Do not hesitate to ask anybody (Filipinos) for directions or anything you need to know. I'm sure the phone centers at the airport could have helped you load the grab app. Filipinos are very helpful, all you need is approach or ask, they can understand English well. Welcome to the Philippines !!
You can do as much calculation as you want with prices versus salary, but have you ever wondered why most restaurants have multiple chains in the same area and are always filled up? Why are malls everywhere in the Ph? Surely it's not just the air conditioners. Americans, on the other hand, spend on debt. That is why many American establishments went bankrupt and have ceased business in the US despite being in the richest country in the world. American living is all face-value.
Your economic mathematics doesn't apply to us. In a typical Filipino household, there are usually two or more wage earners, some of whom own small businesses like mini stores, while other members work overseas and send money back. This collective financial setup may be unfamiliar to you since you are used to a society that emphasizes individualism. Despite appearances, the majority of Filipino families in the city own their land debt-free and will dine in Sbarro as a family, cash in hand.

Ahh thanks for the info!
If you got the taxi plate numbers, you can report that to LTO and the driver won't be able to drive anymore. 😊
Thx for the info 👍
