Getting things repaired is cheaper in the Philippines

To continue with what is cheaper here. Getting things fixed is generally much cheaper as is anything that primarily involves labor.

One of the first things we purchased when we arrived was a rice cooker. This died a month or so back and was surprised when the brother-in-law said he would take it for repair. Normally we would just put something like that in the trash back home but here in the Philippines it was repaired for just 120 pesos (less than $2.50).

A couple of months back the wife’s notebook would not boot after one of the kids had been using it. We did not have the system disk and there was very little I could do. We took it up to a local computer repair shop not really knowing what to expect. I let the wife go up there with her brother. To my surprise they were back an hour or so later with the system working and had paid just 320 pesos ($6.25) for a technician to fix it on the spot.

Even the cheap and nasty microphone I purchased for the Karaoke system was sent off for repair. I think the microphone only cost 250 pesos (less than $5) and would defiantly be a trash can item back home. Here they determined that the wire needed replacing and did this for 150 pesos. Not sure if one should spend 150 pesos repairing a 250 peso microphone but it done.
