As the title says. Wala pa akong nakikitang business na walang halong pandaraya. Be it suppliers, manufacturers, other competitors. Lahat may daya in some ways.

Manufacturer / Suppliers - sa una maganda ipapakita sayo, maganda idedeliver sayo. As time goes by, pababa nang pababa yun quality na binibigay sayo. Dinaya sa kapal, haba, sukat, timpla or kalidad. Kung nireklamo mo, sasabihin sayo “take it or leave”, “as is na yan”.

Other competitors - Maganda lang sa marketing. Pero walang after sales support. Pag hindi kaya isolve ang problem, iiwan na sa ere ang customer. Kadalasan iba din yun item na sa videos (mas maganda) vs sa actual. Then same din, as time goes by, pababa nang pababa ang kalidad to cut cost. Or subsequent orders mo, ibang klase/variant na ng item bibigay sayo (ibang quality) tapos hindi muna iinform kasi takot na masabihan na “bakit charge mo same price sa dati pero bumaba yun quality?”.

Tsaka yun mga business na may franchise, reseller, o distributor programs. Yun mga sa baba nila nagpapakahirap, samantalang sila, walang lugi kahit malugi yun reseller. Tapos yun mga reseller pa ang gumagastos para maspread yun brand ng owner through ads.

O kaya yun sobrang overpriced at taas magpatong. Tapos idadaan sa marketing kung gano kaganda (minsan exaggerated claims na). Saan ang konsensiya? Ibebenta ang item ng x10 to x20 cost of production?

Wala ba talagang honest na business? O wala talagang nagsusurvive na super honest na business?

How much kaya is the lowest price for a 1 bedroom 30sqm for rent in Iguazu Tower, for unfurnished and furnished?

Saw a post 23k monthly rent (including assoc dues and water bill) for a fully furnished unit.

Any chance pa na makahanap ako ng mas mababa pa dito kahit unfurnished? Preference ko talaga sa Iguazu kasi may amenities na exclusive lang for the residents and tenants of this building.

And how to protect yourself from greedy landlords na ang daming excuses to not give back the deposit and advance payments? Read so many horror stories to the point na parang common na ito sa Pinas.

Problem/Goal: The girl is too generous even to people na hindi dapat.

Context: I know someone dating this girl that is very generous to everyone: her maids, her maid’s kids, her employees and her siblings.

I mean, sige siblings, no question asked kahit sobrang generous na (like 7 digits loan na wala ng balak bayaran).

But then her maids na mas mataas pa sweldo kaysa sa office worker (50k). Ok sabihin natin understandable ito since si Yaya is nagpalaki sa kanya since she was a baby and also helps sa business niya and took care of other things. Then all her employees have loans from her (some mag aawol na lang bigla).

But then, her yaya’s little kid? Around 7 years old. Laging pasyal sa mall, always gifting the kid with multiple toys, sama everywhere she goes, etc. Basically she treats the kid as if she’s her own child.

When the person dating her said na “How will we build a family if mas focus ka sa iba kaysa sa future family na ibubuild natin?”, “Mas marami kang time sa maid’s kid kaysa sa akin”, “Ang dami mong gastos sa ibang tao, kaysa sa saving for their future?”. The girl basically ghosted him. I mean nagrereply once in a while but not the same na like before. Parang napilitan lang mag reply sa guy out of courtesy.

Previous Attempt: None. What can the guy even do? As someone observing them, I can clearly see na mas important yun maid’s kid kaysa sa guy sa girl eh. And she said she wants to get married because she wanted to have a kid of her own.

I mean I understand that it is the girl’s own money after all naman. But I think it’s too excessive. Girl cannot afford to buy a house for her own.

I don’t see any future with them anymore. Is it even worth saving the relationship? I am also curious about the reasoning behind. Is this even normal?
