First when I just read this I though "what the f are they paying guys over there in the Philippines", but then I read the article and saw you are just talking about pesos and not usd.
But I guess P750,000 to P800,000 is still a decent amount for a month. I wonder if these contracts are really only for the length of the season, meaning if the season is let's say 4 months you will get 4 paychecks of for example P750,000. Normally salary is calculated per year/season, first time I saw it like this. Maybe because the season is always so short in the PBA and they have basically 3 seasons/cups with the Philippine Cup, the Commissioner's Cup, and the Governors' Cup.
Yeah, Php750,000 is still a decent amount considering the standard of living in the Philippines isn’t too high. Receiving that amount would make you well-off in our country. However, this amount is relatively low compared to what more talented players can earn overseas. Many of them try their luck abroad, where they can earn in one year what they would make in three years here. But there are consequences, such as being away from their loved ones.
