I remember back then during a portion of my high-school days in Las Pinas, when me and my girl were out on a saturday night, a thousand pesos was usually enough for the both of us. This would mean that we got to enjoy a movie at Glorietta 4, snacks, taxi rides to and from home, a meal at Kenny Roger's Roasters (i know, that place ain't hip anymore) and coffee... for just a thousand peas. Well sometimes a bit more.
My recent visit to the Philippines last June showed me that this ain't possible anymore. A thousand pesos ain't even close to being enough for a decent meal for two at Sentro 1771, Italiannis or Bubba Gump. I never took a cab ride last June, but I'd bet it'll cost a fortune just for a one way trip from Las Pinas to Makati.
