Ang Pilipinas ay isang archipelago na ibig sabihin ay binubuo ito ng maraming isla. Marami ang nabibighani sa aming natural resources kung kaya't patuloy ang pagdagsa ng turista mula sa iba't ibang sulok ng mundo. Alamin natin kung paano nga ba ang pamumuhay sa bansang ito:
Mura lamang ang living expense dito lalo na para sa mga foreigners na galing sa First World countries, ang taas kaya ng value ng pera nila dito.
Tirahan : maari kang pumili kung saan mo nais tumira, sa hotel ba, apartment or mga for rent na condo unit at bahay na naka-publish sa Airbnb.com. Meron kang makukuha for as low as Php5,000 a month na transient room kailangan mo lamang maghanap ng maigi.
Pagkain : marami ditong affordable fast food chains, karinderia at kung gusto mo naman na ikaw ang magluto ay mura ang mga bilihin sa palengke or sa grocery stores. Malawak ang aming food choices na swak sa panlasa ng lahat.
Mura ang edukasyon at maraming eskwelahan ang maaaring pagpilian.
Maayos naman ang pagtatrabaho dito ang iba nga lamang ay nangangailangan ng further studies upang tumaas ang iyong sweldo o kaya naman ay maging entrepreneur ka at siguradong mabilis ang iyong pagyaman.
Marunong makapagsalita at maka-intindi ng Ingles ang karamihan(kundi lahat) ng mga Pilipino.
Ang gobyerno ay patuloy na isinasaayos ang sistema ng bansa patungo sa kaunlaran. #changeiscoming
