Applepie,
I didn't understand Dave Morgan's experience in BsAs, it's not mine. Except for rare large purchases, like cameras or refridgerators, I pay cash. There's no problem using cash except when using a 100 peso bill (US$ 30) to pay small shop merchants or taxi drivers. They ofen reject them in favor of the smaller 20 peso bills.
This isn't the first time Morgan's experience differs from mine. He also, is very critical of Tyhee.
Go figure,
Baires
