The Philippines is on the verge of a phenomenal future

The Philippine currency has reached a 5-year high in 2007 and continues to be strong and resilient, fortified by the economic management of the current administration.

We are on the verge of the biggest real estate boom in history, set to totally eclipse the 1997 Asian crisis, and fueled by money from Filipino Expatriates, foreign investment, and a strong and bullish economy.

Among the 25 priority infrastructure projects expected for completion by 2010 are the LRT line 1 to NAIA, the P21-billion Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway, the P6.9-billion Subic Port development the P1.3-billion North Expressway-South Luzon Expressway connection via C-5 Project, and the Edsa Rehabilitation Project. Six of the major projects are set to be completed by March 2007.

The Philippine Stock exchange hit a nine-year record in 2006, opened in 2007 some 30 percent higher, and continues to be strong.

The overall business climate is upbeat and industry leaders and CEOs perceive that 2007 and 2008 will be even better.

The Philippines has emerged a strong second to India in the global outsourcing market. In 2006, it recorded $3.6 billion in earnings, a 50-percent jump from 2005. By 2010 it is expected to earn as much as $12.2billion.

Big outsourcing players in the U.S. such as Sykes Enterprises, Convergys, PeopleSupport Inc, Accenture, and eTelecare Global solutions have already set up headquarters in the Philippines, and Dell computers recently opened a contact center and is on schedule to open a second one this year. The Philippines is becoming a much preferred option as it has stronger cultural ties to the United States than India, and it is expected to catch up and even overtake India as market leader.

Remittances from Filipino Expatriates have grown to over $1.2billion dollars a month!

A surging demand for real estate is expected to sustain a continued surging growth of the Property industry.

The current economic managers of the country have remained steadfast in pursuing a blueprint for an economically prosperous future.

MAKATI

Besides the business capital of the Philippines, Makati as a profitable real estate investment, there will soon be a new city that will arise from the Manila Bay. It is going to be named the "Bagong Nayong Filipino" which is going to be a modernized gaming and futuristic city which will drive more business and investment to the Philippines. A city like Las Vegas and can even be better with a Filipino touch will sure be a very profitable and successful business in the near future. This majestic design will soon came to materialization through the government's aid and the Philippine Association of Gaming Corporation or PAGCOR.

The Philippines is a great place to retire for many reasons. First is the people, they may be different from ones you may know back home that have become very western. The Filipino is easy going and generally happy. They tend to smile a lot which makes a great change from the sour faces we are used to seeing around us each day. The pace of life is much slower and the attitude to just about every aspect of life is more relaxed. If you want to really get out of the Rat race then the Philippines is the place.

The Philippines is also a relatively inexpensive retirement destination where you can make your retirement dollar really stretch. There are many that are surviving very comfortably on less than $1000 per month. If you have more you can really start to enjoy some Compared to back home the cost of living is much cheaper. You will save heaps on all of the basic including accommodation, food, utilities and transport. Some imported goods can be a little more expensive but if you are prepared to look for local substitutes then you will save even more.

"Surely, the Philippines offer great opportunities for everyone!"

The media may continue talking about how bad things can be in the Philippines but in reality, life in the Philippines is really getting better and better everyday! As a young professional, I have no intentions of leaving the country and retiring in a different place. I love the Philippines and my boyfriend and I are looking forward to starting our family in Metro Manila, where all the life of the party really is. We're looking forward to staying at one of the hottest condominiums we found in the link below.

"Why Invest?"

Why invest?

As what my friends say, 'land is better than gold'. It's an idiom that should translate to mean that with land, there is a possibility to find gold, with gold, you can have no land, unless you have too much of it to sell or trade like what people in the ancient world do.

So much for an idiom, land is indeed more precious than gold, especially if it is in a win-win location, which the Philippines is still abundant with. Despite being ranked as one of the most populous country in the world, most of the population is concentrated in the Metros. Of course that is where most of these people get their daily meal and income. But if you're into investing in real estate properties you expect to give you a good turn around in the future, then do so by picking on remote, yet beautiful locations of the country.

Last time I visited in Palawan and Mindoro, there are still a lot of unoccupied spaces. There were signs indicating the lands are up for sale. If I have the money, I would surely buy the one I saw above a hill in Puerto Princesa.

Tagaytay and Baguio, both known for their cold climates, were popular back in the days for expats and tourists. To this day, both locations are still popular and has maintained expat villages and communities. Owners of these lands and houses from time to time sell their properties to look for newer locations for newer adventures. If you're lucky, you might spot one that is available in these areas.
