00:00Can a person's happiness really be priced?
00:03According to a study, it's equivalent to P130,000.
00:09Approved by our countrymen,
00:12here's the first news, Bea Pinlac.
00:18At 4 o'clock in the early morning,
00:19Mang Ariel sweated after leaving the road.
00:23Even though he's a senior citizen,
00:25he's still willing to give food to his family every day.
00:29So when he was asked if money can buy happiness nowadays,
00:34his answer was...
00:35It's still necessary even if money can't buy happiness.
00:38We're a bit poor.
00:40But I'd like it more if you can buy what you want in life.
00:45Especially if we have a family.
00:47It's really hard, especially now.
00:50The others we talked to...
00:53It's still better to be happy,
00:55especially if you have your family.
00:57I don't need a lot of money.
00:59I'm happy.
01:01It depends.
01:03Sometimes, there are people who have money,
01:06but they're not happy.
01:08For me, even if I have money or not,
01:10I'm still happy.
01:12According to a study by Purdue University,
01:14people in America need $105,000 per year
01:19to be happy.
01:21Based on this,
01:22the consumer website, Expensivity,
01:25calculated the price of happiness.
01:27A Filipino needs P130,000 per month
01:32to be happy.
01:34It's based on the purchasing power from the World Bank
01:37and the cost of living in the country.
01:39That P130,000 per month
01:43is almost one-third of the average income
01:46of a Filipino family in a year
01:49based on the data of the Philippine Statistics Authority.
01:52So we asked the others we talked to,
01:55would they be happy
01:57if they have that much money per month?
02:00Yes, if we have P130,000 per month,
02:03it will make us happy.
02:05It will help us.
02:07It's good to be able to eat three times a day
02:10and give your children a good life.
02:13Some say money can't buy happiness,
02:17but it can help them live a comfortable life.
