A professor in a private university in the Philippines (where @chrisrice lives) earns up to $15 per hour. However, a person may earn only roughly $450 per month to be exempted from tax, else about 20% (at least $90) of the gross income will be deducted as tax.

So the professor earns $ 15 per hour. This is perfect! 😍😊
So how much does the MPs or ministers make there? What are their hourly or monthly salaries?

In the Philippines, there is a presidential republic government. The salary of a department secretary or senator in the country is only roughly $2,000 a month.

That is about 5 times that of a normal citizen.
8 times as much here. But there is another salary that is 29 times higher.

You don't get a lot of politicians here. Imagine having only a maximum of 24 senators for a population of more than 100,000,000 in the country, where each senator already represents more than 4,000,000 Filipinos.

In the Philippines (where @chrisrice lives), a college graduate with even a master's degree and work experience would still find it difficult to become a professor. He or she still needs to work it up by becoming an instructor or lecturer first.

Meanwhile, my friend in my story https://peakd.com/@savvyplayer/mental-health-helping-a-friend has never earned more than $3 per hour working in companies about 15 kilometers away and about 1.5 hours travel time. Even a "normal" person would be discouraged having such jobs.

Anyway, I noticed that my very long, original, meaningful post there got only $0.30 worth of total post rewards and only 3 (non-bot) commenters. 😔

He's working from home now earning just about $1.20 per hour.

He is required to provide video recording of every hour he is working (as a college and high school instructor). Imagine getting paid less than $2 to have yourself recorded for 90 minutes and sending it to your employer every single time.
