San Miguel Beer in Manila costs PHP 45–80 where residents buy it, and PHP 80–150 in the parts of the city built around visitors.

Menus in Manila that appear in multiple translations, with photographs, and with a host outside are priced for people who will not return. The neighbourhood equivalent has no reason to price that way.
A useful mental threshold: anything at or under PHP 80 is a normal price for san miguel beer in Manila. Around PHP 63 is the typical everyday figure. Above PHP 80 you are paying the visitor rate, whether or not the venue is pleasant.
For context inside Manila itself: of the 15 things we price here, intramuros tour carries the widest visitor markup (PHP 0–500 locally against PHP 500–1500), while jeepney ride is priced most consistently across the city. San Miguel Beer sits closer to the problem end of that scale, so it is worth checking before you buy.
Prices across Philippines move together, so the habits that keep you at PHP 45–80 in Manila will hold in the next city too: check a posted price, walk one street away from the main draw, and pay the way residents pay.
