It does seem a little strange as most would do the opposite and plead poverty to garner sympathy but maybe this is a new marketing ploy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnMyWay Posted February 27, 2023 Posted February 27, 2023 (edited) SM Sales Clerks make around 14k a month. https://ph.indeed.com/Sm-Sales-Clerk-jobs?vjk=17205a022429448e Most of the movie theaters are owned by the malls, so I doubt if it would be much different, unless they are a manager or specialty job like projectionist. My wife was a CPA with an American company 10 years ago. 8 years with the company and I think when she left she was making 35k a month.

That's in the NCR, wages are lower in smaller cities generally (and away from the NCR) 10k per month or even less isn't uncommon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy79 Posted February 27, 2023 Posted February 27, 2023 I would call her out on that wage, something doesn't add up. Maybe she has a few online sponsors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely she is not working at all and just picked a figure she thought of to answer but then it could be she wanted to impress or was embarrassed to give the right answer. Still why should she tell him, did she ask how much he earns? Since she is online and he likes her he needs to meet and see where she works or what the case is. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Hounddriver Posted February 27, 2023 Posted February 27, 2023 7 hours ago, Ozzyboy said: is my friend being lied to Suggest that he ask how much she makes per day. For some reason, any Filipina I have met cannot tell me how much she gets paid per hour or per week or per month or per year but each of them know exactly how much they make per day. Perhaps my experiences only? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
