Bills and more bills

[stevewool]

Well its the start of April soon, the weather seems to be getting better and thats a great sign but along comes this years new bills too,
Council tax has gone up and it seems everyone is complaining about that, one chap thinks he may have to work longer just to pay for this he recons, well i have just had mine and yes its gone up but not by much, say 2 pints of bear each month,
Water rates well again they have gone up but by just a few pence and thats over the year too, A great price i say well done STWA,
Whats the next ones i wonder, but as long as you have money to pay for these services why worry, it could be worse,

Mines gone down a fiver... in fact the past 4 years it has stayed the same...

But the flat goes on the market officially on Monday, so no good to me!

My water bill is pretty stable these says at around P250
No such thing as council tax
Electric comes out steady at around P2000
Rents seem to be moving upward pretty significantly. Not sure why that should be the case here in Davao City, but I've noticed more and more white guys around who are willing to pay far over the norm for whenever reason.
Who knows why.....

In the days when there was 100 pesos to the pound we were rich here. But in the 10 years I have been coming to the Philippines prices have increased dramatically in the citys.

You can pay extra into the system if you want so you will get a better payout.
