@ozahchuks_ i agree with you from some aspect... 1. but be aware that for many ppl it is impossible staying alive from the salary in their home country.... so yes they have to accept the fact sharing a room or flat with 6 or 20 or whatever number of other ppl... do not blame that plz... most of them have no other choice.
2. even being a european I do not agree about the situation that your salary depends on your nationality... this is not fair at all but there is nothing to do agains this
3. about nationality once more: it is not fair that most of the companies are hiring filippinas.... regarding they are cheap labor and after this complaning about their bad quality work... so in many job area a western female has no any chance to get the job here.. and for me this is rasism too..
4. so do not blame plz most of us are discriminated from some aspect
5. we gave this answer to him already... we said that this money is enough for a single or couple for sure and might be enough for a family... it depends on your needs and lifestyle ( in case he wishes to live in the pearl that money is covering the monthly rent only )

Have a nice day :-)
