[Title] => Whats your best P500 purchase?
[Summary] => In these days of the rapidly dwindling peso, what does P500 mean to a consumer?
For a rich man, it may mean just a tip for a room service waiter who brings in his champagne.
For a poor man, it may mean food for survival for several days for his children.
But for a wise shopper, P500 can mean a lot of things: a timeless blouse or neckpiece, functional and beautiful home accessories, a gadget for health and fitness, and little essentials that bring cheer and happiness.
Whats your best P500 purchase? We asked people and here are their answers:

[Summary] =>
Juliana turned 3 last September 8 and, as is always the case, only got to celebrate her birthday via a childrens party almost two weeks later. The reason why we never get to hold the party on the date itself is because Richards sports competitions and/or training abroad are always scheduled around that time of the year. And whereas she had big celebrations in the last two years, this one was markedly and deliberately different.

[Title] => Everything except chorizo Bilbao
[Summary] => When we got to Cebu we thought of cooking some of the special dishes that our siblings there would enjoy. Confident the city would have everything we would need, we planned to do Fabada, Cocido and Pastel Alfresco. Each required chorizo Bilbao, which was not easy to find. We finally found what we wanted, although it was a different brand.
