My response to KERI’s blogs:

I totally disagree with KERI’S BLOG,


In the Philippines, however way you try if you don’t have a big enough salary, getting a credit card is next to impossible.

Because I work here in the UK, I have the opportunity to own several credit cards. I can use it as much as I want so long as I pay all the money I owe thru direct debit. Sometimes the bank offers me higher  credit limit as I always pay my credit bills on time. I probably wont get the same treatment in the Philippines if I was working in the same job that I do here.


I own a Ferrari here in the UK, I worked hard to earn enough money to buy it. I bought it because Ive always dreamt of having one.  I didn’t buy it because I didn’t want to walk on snow . It wasnt a necessity it was a splurge. In the Philippines, you ride jeep, tricycle or padyak because theres no way you can save enough to buy a car, not with the minimum wage you earn. YOu ride public transport not because you want to but because theres no other choice for you.


Its true I have to work hard to pay for my basic needs, but I also have more than enough to pay for my luxury. Its true I hardly ever see my neighbors, but thats because their treating themselves to finer things in life after a hard days work or maybe because their in the pub having drinks or have gone to another country for holiday. In the Philippines, you could be working your arse off, but you barely get thru 3 meals a day. And your neighbor, of course he is always around..because just like 6 of every 10 Filipinos tambay sya.

Modesty aside, Im  proud that I am smart and was able to land a job here . I hate to admit it, but I am also proud that I can afford to go to Disneyland even if its a days worth of pay. If you think about it the 70 dollars I paid is equivalent to 2 months salary of some people back home. And however much they try,  their chance to visit these places is slim.

It is true I earn in pounds and spend in pounds in UK, but the standard of life that I live here is extremely better than my relatives back home. In fact as I earn a lot in my business,  i was a able to send my relatives  to school and provide a nice house for  my siblings  in the Philippines. I am indeed paying a mortgage for the 5 houses I own in UK and 1 in france, but since their values are increasing by the minute when Im old and wrinkly I’m sure ill have a comfortable life. In the Philippines, your house rent cost 10000 a month, ...your  average salary 8000,..need I say more.


I am not being funny, but the way i live here in UK is very comfortable maybe even capricious.. a life that I could only dream if I was in the Philippines.
My advice to you pinoys who are really trying to work outside our beautiful country, is to keep on trying.  If you are clever like me, it wont be too difficult. You have to be prepared to  work hard for your living, but at least it would be living a life as you choose..,not forced to you by the conditions on which you live in. 

Come to think of it guys.. if Im the same clever guy in the Philippines, do you think  i would be able to get pretty a  woman from France and England . Also, if  I’m not here in the UK I wont be writing this Blog using my Laptop inside my Ferrari as I wont have any of these.

Just to tell you that this is only my own opinion based on my own experiences thats why  I feel that living abroad is more advantageous.

‘Bout the people who ask you for money, .. if you ask me.. I’d rather be the one giving it than the one asking for it.

This is YOU-K-FACTS
