Cavalier Lily's DiaryWomen in Cebu (October 23, 2009)
Cavalier, Lily
This day last year...
October 23, 2008.
In 2007, when we had just started dating,
But I have less than a month until I return home.August 8, 2007.I went to a live music venue I'd been to before.
This time, Gigi's college classmate, Corazon, is also joining us.
It's been about a year and ten months since we last met, back in 2008 before Gigi came to Japan, right?
Neither Gigi nor I can drink alcohol, so even Corazon, who is a heavy drinker, only drinks cocktails.
・・・・・・・・・
Even if Gigi says 'It's your turn. Go find a young woman and dance with her.', I don't really know...
I can't dance.
I got back to the hotel around 11 PM.
Then the two changed clothes and disappeared into the disco Sunflower...
I don't know when he came back... It must have been after 3 o'clock.
Now, I'd like to write about Filipino women again after a long time.

However, the most unlikely encounter for an average Japanese person is with a very ordinary girl from an average family.

1) Education.
Education consists of six years of elementary school, four years of high school, and then four years of university. When you lay it out like this, you can see that Japan's three years of junior high school are missing.
What's referred to as "high school" corresponds to middle school and the first year of high school.
Then they go on to university, which is equivalent to a junior college or technical college in Japan.

There are many children who, due to family circumstances, do not attend elementary school, which is compulsory education. (30%?)
Therefore, the situation becomes even more serious in high school.
When it comes to university, parental support alone is often insufficient to cover tuition fees, so it's quite common for students to work while studying, or to work to save money before re-enrolling in school.

Gigi came to Japan and therefore didn't graduate from university, but Corazon worked hard during the last six months to complete the on-the-job training program and graduated.Eraine, applause!)

2) Wages.
These young women work in Cebu for about 8,000 pesos a month (approximately 16,000 yen, at an exchange rate of 1 peso = 2 yen). In fact, many young people work for this kind of wage.
In Cebu, simply finding a job is considered fortunate, as many are forced to work long hours on six-month part-time contracts, receiving only a basic salary.

For example, the minimum salary for a public elementary school teacher is 13,000 pesos (26,000 yen), and it increases to 26,000 pesos (52,000 yen) just before retirement.
A university lecturer or bank branch manager earns 70,000 pesos (140,000 yen).


3) Prices of various goods.
Now,Prices in Cebu.Let's move on to that topic.
These are merely average prices and are constantly fluctuating and increasing.
Also, since this information is based on interviews with Gigi and others, there may be some inaccuracies.
I would appreciate it if you could tell me where the reference price in Japan is blank.
Transportation expenses.
Cebu. Japan. remarks.
Fee. Converted to yen. reference.
Fee
taxi. 30 pesos. 60 yen. 680 yen.
Jeepney. 6 pesos. 12 yen. 140 yen. The initial fare for a shared bus.
Trisikka. 5 pesos. 10 yen. - A bicycle with a sidecar attached.
Mobile phone SMS. 1 peso. 2 yen. Instead of monthly billing, a prepaid system called "Load" is the mainstream.
Prepaid cards are available in denominations of 300 pesos, 200 pesos, 50 pesos, 30 pesos, 20 pesos, and 10 pesos (approximately 20 yen).
In reality, text messaging is the more common method of communication than phone calls.
