tax man guro..

[lordcarnal]

simple answer.. because it is imported..
ofcourse barato sa US cause it was invested and discovered there?
same question why mahal ang redhorse sa Singapore? or any Philippine made products in the US.

Anyways Gadgets are a luxary things so dont complain kng mahal coz if you cant afford one dont get one..

The Canon SD1000 is made in Japan bro..

It is sold in the Philippines as Ixus.. Mas duol paman sa Pinas ang Japan keysa sa USA..

Mahal gihapon.. Could it be psychological? Na dapat pamahalan because it's supposed to be mahal even if its real value is only less than P8k?

There are a lot of factors.

1. Philippines is not a known technological country manufacturing-wise. The shipment fees are usually too high.

2. Tax.

3. Some businesspersons also take advantage about the lifestyle of most Filipinos. Most Filipinos would die to have the latest electronics gadgets there is. They don't care about the price, all they care about is having the stuff.

4. The resellers are are usually the last in the line, tanan nga patong naa na.

not only tax ngano mahal.

actually like sa US.....mopalit na sila "Bulk Purchasing" i.e. electronic products. these are bought in large quantities. So often results in a lower price per item.
