depends on what you need for the money.

that's equivalent to more or less than $120

but that's how much my 1 bedroom 1 bath apartment in the Phils. cost. not including utilities.

Minus the deductions that's more or less the average* take-home monthly minimum wage.

*average monthly minimum wage since minimum wages differ per region in the Philippines

enough to pay for a studio type apartment's rent for a month..enough for a college student's monthly expenses for food and fare..
enough for a 6-member family to survive..
enough for a dad or a mon to provide food, city services but rent or other expenses not included.
basically,for just one person. yes it would suffice. but for a family, they have to thrive on that very low budget but still enough to keep them from going - for a month.

it is alot of money to buy food.
but if u go to a bar/club in phils, i prefer bringing at least $200

It is, if you're a wage earner and you live in the barrio, and you're not renting anything. However, if you're a wage earner in a big city and you have a two-member family, you would barely make ends meet.

At present where P49= $1, that roughly translates to $132.65

nope. thats like going out clubbing for 4 consecutive nights. hehe.
seriously though it really depends on one's lifestyle. If a really poor person have this amount of money its already a lot. This is about the amount of minimum wage...still not too much if you come to think of it.

Not really, its actually what you'd pay for rent maybe. My fiance makes about 7000 every two weeks.

It's about 112 US$. If you are a tourist and wanted to have a nice hotel room, that would probably get you by for 2 days.
But if you will not spend a single Peso for your accommodation, you can perhaps stretched your money for at least 4 - 5 days. That is of coarse, you only have to eat in small restaurant and with non-fancy meals.

It is a very small amount of money even to the poor ones. It is just food-money for school for two kids or 4 at most per month.

its still a lame amount for a monthly wage, which some workers receives here...its still a small amount..akthough 6500 sounds like a nokia mobile unit...hehehehe!

I don't think so... Some of the Filipinos who can afford it's just a small amount but to those who are in need it's too much. So it really depends on your lifestyle. (--,)
