"for $3000 USD a month one could live like a king in the Philippines" - Yes, but there are no jobs in the Philippines that pay that much so it's kind of a moot point.

A better comparison is how many hours you need to work to purchase something. Here in the US a DVD might cost a few hour's pay. In the Philippines it might cost a week's pay (or maybe more), which is many times more expensive, even though the actual cost might be less in comparable dollars.
