That may depend on what sort of car he drives, what type of College he goes to.

Average monthly salary in Phiilipine is about $1000 USD according to this site.

http://www.salaryexplorer.com/salary-survey.php?loc=171&loctype=1

So if this is supplemental income for your son, that should be a nice big chunk.

Hopefully, your son is studying or working, and not planning on living off mom

and that this is just bonus money to help to build his career and life.

What I do with my kids (in US of course) is

1. Until 18 - I fully support them

2. Until 22 (graduate from college) - I share the financial support with them

This is to teach and force them to become independent after college

3. After 23 (or college graduation) - they are about 99% financially independent

How much studying and working do you do at the age of One?


A whole family would be living VERY well on that money.

and probably are.

Oh Bulacan..

That depends on their "cost of living."

House rent, baby needs, medications if applicable.

It is true that $600 may be a lot but that depends on your son's needs.

I had been a single parent and used to live in Manila-Makati. My son and my cost of living must be at least $700. That is including house rent, utilities, nanny or maid. Plus my son had sensitive skin. So that adds to the cost.

It's a lot more than what most fathers pay for child support here. So I'd say it's very good. Have you thought about petitioning him to come live in the US, and his mother if you're still together?

This does not constitute legal advice.

I have a son in Philippines a year old. I send 600 dollars a month for him. I'm just wondering if this is enough or not enough or to much?

:o That's what I was making after 3 years in an engineering job. Waaayyy too much if it's just for the child. Even if they live in the business district (Makati or anywhere in Metro Manila), that's above average slash borderline lavish. I truly hope the mom is putting the excess money in the bank.

I send $1,000/mo for my fiancee and her two girls which includes school tuition, allowance, their share of the electricity and internet with her parents, and their food and other expenses, and this is with my fiancee not working anymore at my request a couple years ago ... $600 for a one-year-old baby is a king's sum, even if the kid was paying rent on his crib >.<

... unless of course it is also for other expenditures in the house unassociated with the baby...

Boy is that site a bunch of bull-tweety!! The actual average daily income is between $8-$12..... remember DAILY not hourly. There is a very small segment that makes the money suggested on that website.

Agree. Must be Metro Manila centric or maybe just white collar jobs. I just can't believe the median income is 28K/month for the whole country.
