Look at the model minorities in their own country.

They should do something. This is awful. No wonder people trying to escape that hell hole. Duarte starving out all infidels it seems.

Covid-19 is becoming a poor man's disease.

What exactly is "Look at the model minorities in their own country" supposed to mean?

You're so angry that Filipinos have high incomes and low "wokeness" in the US, that you're indulging in their starvation overseas?

2 months salary of full time minimum wage earner. Minimum wage in PI is around $10/day.

For official jobs. Most of the jobs in the philippines are not official jobs and are privately salaried.

I pay my workers 200 pesos a day, or 4 dollars, and my salaried workers, 5k a month, or 100 dollars a day.

That's the standard.

My salaried workers when they retire, get half a month of salary for every year they worked for me.

If you're a tricycle driver, you're lucky to get 2 dollars in a day.
