I consider the Philippines to be potentially the greatest country in Asia.
BUSINESS: This is a third world nation with developmental problems including graft and corruption. It is on the cuspus of a great break through. The government is hard at work and has had some success in elimination of this key problem. When you analyze the the elements required for a successfull business they are all here. For people with small business skill the Philippines is an untapped gold mine.
LEISURE: The fabulous weather and unlimited scenic wonders. The fact that everything is affordable also helps. All warm weather recreational activities are available for a modest expense. The Schadd Aquarium in Chicago spent 14 million dollars duplicating the undewater environment I have 5 miles from my door. The list of interesting sites and activities are endless.
RETIREMENT: The five grain fresh baked bread I enjoyed in Tucson for $5.00.....I get at my local bakery for 80 cents. A home that would cost me over $200,000 in Tucson costs me $30,000 here......a three bedroom fully furnished apartment here cost me $200 rent......Medical treatment including a VA clinic are available..... I spent $60 for a sonagram....$1,000 for the capping of 12 teeth......
RETIREMENT: For me in the dictionary next to the word "Paradise" is a picture of the Philippines. Been there over 5 years and I obviously love it
TOUR: Very diverse.....less than a mile from my front door is a beautiful lush jungle and a 100 ft waterfall.....exotic birds.....a plethora of tropical fish....On Palawan is the biggest longest underground river..... The man made rice paddy terraces in Bagueo if lain end to end would stretch for over 14,000 miles....the Great Wall Of China is only 1,000 miles long....There are white water class rivers, bubbling hot springs, active volcanoes like those in Hawaii, 7,000+ islands the majority of which are unihabited, luxurious beaches, sailing and surfing, wonderous animals found nowhere else in the world.....
I am trying for dual citizenship and Philippine permanent residency as we speak

I am a filipino and I had finally fpund out the problem. Remember that Spain once colonized the Philippines and the Filipinos are a little but undisciplined which one trait that we got from the Spaniards. Very demanding, Thats the second. All we need I think is discipline! Filipinos should learn how to follow the President!! We voted her as President so we must respect her!!! The Big Problem is the opposition.. They always find plans to make the administration look bad. One example is the ZTE scandal. JDV is totallly telling a lie because he admitted himself that he once used drugs and mariwana which is a proof that his brain cells are dead. If filipinos would learn how to love their own country then the Philippines would be a better place.. WELL... Actually the philippines isnt the worst place too you know. If China didnt colonize the Philippines then the Philippines wouldnt be poor. China took all the golds of the Philippines. They also destroyed some places of the Philippines. If they didnt do that then I totally think that Philippins would be as powerful as Japan today. Even the americans helped us during the war just to get rid of those chinese people.

A place for business. YES. Think about this... The Philippine population is about 80M. If you have a product that cost $1 and were able to sell at least one to every Filipino, then you already have $80M!
And I think the business office rentals in Manila and Makati are cheaper as compared to our Asian neighbors like Singapore and Hong Kong.
A place for leisure. YES. We have the most talented entertainers, singers and colorful nightlife. Worldclass golf courses, hotels, resorts.
A place for retirement. YES. With monthly pension of US$1000, you will have a comfortable life there. you could even afford to have a maid or caregiver to take care of you. That amount wont go far if you are somewhere else.
A place for tour and permanent residence. Yes. Philippines is not bad at all.

I see it as a great place for liesure and if you're lucky enough to retire and live there......more power to you. I'm moving there in three years to spend the rest of my life there. In the northern part of course......MIndinao is not a good place for an American to be.

Yes if you are going to retire. Stay in Luzon to avoid kidnappers.

It is a very dangerous place.
There are terrorists killing people mainly on Mindanao, but sometimes other places.
The government is more corrupt than most other governments.
No one can make a decent living there, so most of the educated people are leaving.
