thanks guys,
I will contact the authorities on Monday before accepting the assignment, I want to do it because in the long term(7 to 10 years from now) I want to establish a Manila office/franchise of the consultancy I work for, we already have offices in Singapore, Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpar. I would like to get the experience of working with Filipino businesses(the client is Shangri-la Properties Management) just to see if our processes will work in their business culture.
