Ok so as someone with a 5 year degree in Architecture from the Philippines and handled multiple projects from small scale residential in the province to high rise condo towers in the city, that house is nowhere near USD50-60k. It is at best php 1m.

    So, not quite $18k USD. Then they have to furnish it. So, a couple thousand? At best, there’s about $25k USD invested in the house and personal property.

    I agree that there’s no way he sent $60k to her over two years.

      1m php including furniture. They don’t have insulation, proper roofing, proper bathroom fixtures and kitchen cabinets. 1m php is generous

      For context, you can buy a 3 storey 150sqm house in a provincial (but urbanized) city adjacent to metro manila with 3m php.
