Thank you. We plan to add on to my mother-in-laws house a second story apartment in Quezon City and having an idea of what things will cost is nice to know.
Interestingly, on their website, it seems as though Citihardware has stopped selling Westinghouse fans and completely replaced them entirely with their private label brand Boston Bay. They’re very similar to Westinghouse, apparently.
Hopefully, you can do a video pricing of "whole-house fans"? As I was watching this video, I did a side by side search here in the US for the same items. I really don't understand why Philippine prices of these same items seem to be an average of 4,000 Pesos more than in the US. Being imported shouldn't matter except for the fact that China is closer to the Philippines than to the US. I just get the feeling that China and the US is over pricing the Philippines and probably all of South East Asia. This reminds me of back six years ago, when I was in the Philippines and looking for American brands in the Metro Supermarkets in Bonifacio Global. The prices were often three times as much as in the US and outdated/past expiration dates. Some of the chocolates were already turning white. As far as I am concerned, these stores are ripping off Filipinos and those of us that have immigrated to the Philippines. Not a dig on Filipinos but China and the US. Prices here in the US are going up every time I go to the grocer, but the prices VPP is showing us is alarming to me. I'm sure the big companies in the Philippines are a part of this overpricing as well. My next-door neighbor has an older truck. It is worth $200, about 8 or 9,000 Pesos here in the US. He asked me how much it would cost in the Philippines. I told him, from my experience, it would probably cost around 300,000 Pesos and the registration would probably be ten times that of what he is currently paying. My last car in the Philippines, registration was over 900 Pesos for a 1997 Honda Accord. It was considered a luxury car, regardless of age and that is why the registration was so high. The registration on my 2018 Mazda CX5 is $300 here in the US. We are also being ripped off!
I'll ask you one more time then you never seem to address this only missed the bee Americans don't understand the prices what you talking about cuz you put it in pesos maybe you can expend your column like saying it in American dollars you talk about everything else thank you very much no pun intended
Pete Erickson. Exchange rates vary. Today the exchange rate was 47 Pesos to the US Dollar. However as a good guide I suggest people divide the Peso rate by 50 for US dollars. For example 3000 Pesos divided by 50 = $60 dollars. If I give the price in dollars, then people will want Euros, Pounds, Canadian Dollars etc.
Hi Peter, I lived in the Philippines for 6 years. One of the first things you want to understand is the dollar to peso exchange when you are spending your money. I have a cheat way of knowing very closely when I hear peso or I am faced with using pesos. It works quite well for me up to a certain amount. I multiply the peso by two. 200 Pesos, is around $4 USD. 500 Pesos-$10 USD. 1,000 Pesos is around $20 something USD. 4,000 Pesos around $100 USD. 50,000 Pesos around $1,000 USD. 1 million Pesos is around $21,000 USD. As you can see, this method doesn't always work in the same way. You will need to move the decimal depending on the amount. Do this for a while and you will soon understand when VPP gives a Peso amount. For her to convert to USD, may not be fair to other currencies. I send money to my son living in the Philippines every month. The exchange rates fluctuate up and down a few Pesos almost daily but mostly seasonal. I'm sure the price of our dollar makes a difference as well. Then there is if you use USD in the Philippines, you need to be careful of who is exchanging your USD to Peso. VPP is doing us a great service with what she does in pricing and showing us daily life and work in the Philippines. I didn't have this opportunity when I moved there back in 2009. Even when I first went to the Philippines back in 2005. I have also asked VPP for certain pricing videos. I can imagine how many others are asking her all sorts of things and for all sorts of pricing videos. I am thankful when she accommodates me and even when she mentions me, but I also understand she is quite a busy woman! I love this channel. It is at the top of what I do each morning. I miss the Philippines quite a bit. My son, his wife, and the grandkids are always on my mind. The plans we have for our VPP when we return after the pandemic is greatly helped by these videos. Hope this information helps.
