Ganito Kami sa Makati.

I think you are familiar with the TV ad of Jojo Binay. The phrase "Ganito Kami sa Makati". Maybe, the assumptions are staying in Makati has a lot of benefits compared to other city. We might assume that Binay has manage well the City.

The idea came out of my mind when a friend of mine shared a story. The story goes like this. When a friend of mine bought something, she ask the vendor. "Ate, bakit ang mahal". Guess what was answer of the vendor? "Eh Makati kasi to." It reminds me of Jojo Binay. Ganyan pala sa Makati, everything is expensive where in fact, a few meters away, part of Pasay the same food you buy but much cheaper. For example: gulay at rice in Pasay is 20 pesos but when you are in Makati that is 35 pesos. Comparing the size of servings? Mas malaki pa ang 20 pesos kaysa 35 mo.

That's why, "Ganyan sila sa Makati."
