Hello maam Nenet, I do understand your sentiment. The ruling was done via the discretion of survey website Numbeo. Numbeo, by far, is the largest database of user-contributed data in the world and has been cited by as a reliable source by international magazines. However, we can only speculate on the validity of the ruling.
Salvaged? Do you even know what the term means? Are you even from either of the cities you mentioned? Or baka di mo lang matanggap na wala yung city nyo?
