its not right but for me its not a big deal if my kabayan will ask for it i just tell that im earning enough to pay for my house amortization. done

maybe for some people, knowing that:
- i earn more for the same work, they will ask for any vacancy or refer their friends or relatives
- they are earning more they will feel contented
- i look far more well-off than my salary can afford, they will assume that i have 'sidelines'

in my office everyone (indian, srilanaka, egyptian,sudanese, lebanese, filipinoes) knows about all our senior staff's salary, including the GM. so such trait is not limited to filipinos
