haha... yeah i keep telling my wife that... She thinks cold is when the A/C is on to high.
It went down to 6C here a few nights ago and I had to turn the furnace on for my wife. That's the coldest she has ever been.

Lol still not over with it hahahah!!! Oh well yeah its true didnt travel in PH much but did lots outside .. And yes the scope ofmy answer only did cover manila .. Well i shoulnt had answered that question you had hahaha but i guess im the only one who did gave figures in amount.. I guess people consider themself middle class even thou they are earning very small amount of money .. I was thinking the middle class would be the people who are living good but not rich .. Now it just makes sense that other people like to call themselves middle class because they are on the average of the population's salary .. Shouldnt that me be called average income not middle class ..well i dont know .. sorry i answered back your question before base from my lifestyle .. Didnt think that people would react that violent with that amount ..

Also im sorry if i generalized it .. I remember that there's a huge difference being a chinese to a filipino there .. So yeah my answer was wrong .. Probably should lower it about 60% of the amount instead of 80 probably like 30 to 35 is enough for them to be middle class ..
