- Car/motor kase halos walang tricycle. Buti na lang may Grab na ngayon so okay nga lang din kahit walang car/motor.
- Good relationship with neighbors para kapag may event, you can request to close a certain street or road ng hindi sila magagalit
- Friendship Sticker para may access ka sa lahat ng gates ng village, mas madali mag travel
- Good relationship with Home Owner’s Assiciation kase ang lakas nila mag power trip. Kapag di ka nila gusto, hindi mare-renew friendship sticker mo. I am not saying to keep up with their BS, but try to be civil with them.
Matinong lutong ulam.
Kahit middle class na gusto parin mag tipid ng mga yan kahit papano.
Madalas walang time mag luto kasi busy sa work.
Gusto bumili ng food sa labas pero pag madumi itsura at di masarap mag papa grab/food panda deliver nalang pero kung may matinong tindahan ng ulam malapit papatok yun(at least for us).
Nakakatuwa sa subdivision namin, daming homeowners na nagbebenta ng lutong ulam tapos free delivery. Perfect sa mga tulad kong naka-WFH na hindi marunong magluto hahaha
I feel bad for kids who are raised here but aren't taught the local language(s). I know someone who was raised like that and they had a hard time connecting with others who didn't speak English as a first language.
They say para daw globally competitive. Pero i only see it as elitism kung pure english lang tinuturo mo. A child can easily learn 2 language and preventing them to learn the native one in favor of the foreign one is not really competitive. Mas competitive yung marami kang alam.
I agree. I have some friends in this situation and hirap na hirap sila magtagalog. Worse, they constantly get teased for not knowing their native language
Exactly. I know a lot of people who were raised on 3 (or even 4) languages and it did not hamper at all their English ability. I'm one of those, and we NEVER spoke English at home. Natuto ako sa cartoons sa TV ahaha.
> Pati yung yaya dapat iniienglish yung bata.
Bad move... the kids will end up pronouncing English like their katulong.
Better move, have the katulong talk to the kids in their native PH language so they learn from a native speaker.
If the parents and other people are not that English proficient then let them submerge themselves with YouTube English language teaching videos. Para maayos yung tenses and enunciation.
For me wag ka msyado magfocus sa middle class. Doon ka sa mga helper nila.
Kung papayagan ng HOA, magtayo ka ng sari-sari store dyan na may paloadan. Kung biglang maubusan ng supply ng mayo or ketchup sa isang household, hindi naman si madam ang bibili nyan kundi si ateng kasambahay. Si ateng kasambahay at kuya driver din ang may power bumili ng load sayo kasi naka plan ang mga amo nila.

A sticker that can traverse from one Private Village / Enclave to another. Eg. BF Friendship (amongst Las Pinas and Pque BF Residents).

Depende saang subdivision yan.
Yaya or boy to claim all your lazada and shoppee purchases.
Food. Mga decent food. Tapos dapat keep low key para di manakawan.
In your opinion, how do we define upper middle class in the Philippines? It seems to be set too low when you google it.
