More than that...more than the other answerers mentioned. $1000 as of today is only 46, 000 pesos. All things considered..rent, running AC, Cable etc...$1000 would be bare minimum, not much left for entertainment etc. $1200...would be ok..$1500..you live great...have a maid/cook...go out now and then....
