Cost of living in Metro Manila?

Hi I m looking for estimates of cost of living in Metro Manila (Makati area - I m going to assume Greenwoods in Rizal/Pasig is cheaper but I prefer to stay in Makati then my relatives subdivision).

This is not to include rent or mortgage payments - the house/apartment will be paid outright.

So around how much to pay for 2 adults to eat nicely (plenty groceries/some takeaway/some restaurants) each month and also electricity (aircon at night), phone/internet, water, insurance, health insurance, taxi maybe 4 times a week, some shopping in markets like quiapo etc but also some MOA shopping, etc each month?

Is there an average yearly salary that say upper middle class usually earn to live a fairly comfortable lifestyle?

Thank you in advance to all who answer.
