I am giving my fiancé and her three kids a thousand a week Australian, 36,000 pasos. She has a mortgage of $1100 per month a car. Is this to much money for Quezon City?

The prices in the Philippines next to impossible to compare! There are several layers of prices depending on if you're a local, fresh off the boat, expat whose been in country a couple years and local markets by size and location. I've bought bananas at SM Fairview Robinsons for 29 cents a pound and a week later 59 cents! This is one of the largest stores in the Philippines. I've picked bananas off the tree 250 php pesos for 10 kilos! Go figure! Depends how bad the seller needs cash!!
