TL: believe us, it IS unfair. Let us say he gets minimum wage right? Given that, he could buy let's say 3-4 cartons of milk. That's it. He would have to manuever a lot just to make due which is almost impossible (or it actually is) because prices are going up dramatically and wages never do. In fact, since all prices are going up, wages go down, or never change because of these price hikes.
With a blue-collar Filipino worker who works locally, I reckon that he will never be able to buy a house for a lifetime. No opportunities to save, and defintely prices won't go down.
