Oh I agree. Companies tend to want to avoid their employees knowing what their teammates are getting. First and foremost, there might be envy, and that could affect the work output [we're doing the same job but I'm paid less, so I'll do less]. It could also make others leave and seek higher pay elsewhere. There are other reasons of course. As for strangers asking, they will most likely be ignore in the Philippines, or given a retort like "none of your business". A lot of people would even think the one asking is a criminal that might steal from them.

I think it's an inappropriate question all round to be honest; but some don't mind it I suppose. I'm always pretty tight-lipped on these things I guess, it bring jealousy as you say and that's often not a good thing.
In general, I think people should think a little bit before asking questions, I think if they did some of these more invasive ones might be avoided.
