In the Philippines, everyday life can feel like a series of small paywalls.
You pay bills online, then get charged a convenience fee. You transfer your own money, then another fee shows up. You take the cheaper commute, and it can mean long lines, heat, traffic, and overcrowding, so people end up paying more for a faster ride anyway.
Even basic things can feel like extra spending, like buying tissue or bottled water when public facilities fall short. Not every fee is fake, but that doesn’t change how exhausting it feels when the easier, more decent option almost always costs more.
