I have been to the Philippines several times (my wife is from there), and though the McDonald's there were very similar to those here (other than the quality of the beef and the ketchup - made with banana, not tomato), the one thing that struck me was the fact that only teenagers from the more well-to-do families worked at them. At the time (and maybe still) it was deemed something of a social distinction to work there.

FYI... avoid Jolly Bee and McDo's? (a bad rip-off)
