I have a friend in Davao, I me and became Pen Pals with some six years ago.
She is middle aged, separated for years and receives no support from ex husband and has two daughters and two sons,
One daughter lives in Dubai, and my friend has her two daughters there in Davao, . .
the other daughter is in Manila, and has one yr old with her and his 3 yr old brother there in Davao with my friend, . .
Another Son 23 lives with her most of the time and has no job to speak of there in 2 years I know of, the remaining son will be in 7th grade.
At one time, a year ago, she has a job where she works in a small night club, making 200 pesos a night, 8 or more hours, six days a week.1,200 pesos a week, that would be 4,800 pesos a month.
I told her to quit the job because the children need her at home.So I have been helping her.
I'd like to know how does the Philippine Society expect a woman to survive there, as her cost of living is around 32,000 pesos a month, that is about 29,200 pesos that she needs above the average weekly pay there.
I'd appreciate if you can give me some general knowledge about what goes on there, Is there work for the son there in Davao ?
