Starting a business in the Philippines??

[JimOttley]

What I would love to do, is have my own house built, where I can design the renewable energy system within it.

That stuff is most fascinating, and there is much on the internet to learn to self implement such technology.

I don't just hack cable TV

Property and land if you wrap up the deal using (GOOD) local lawyers to make sure it is all assigned back to you will work, it's sufficiently anonymous to meet the low profile requirement so that you remain safe.

Only problem is this, where now the market is easy to get into if you have cash, chances are that Asia will prosper in the next 10 years while we decline, including our pension pots (unless they happen to be heavily invested in Asia )

Even in the 5 years I have been going there I have seen huge changes and my colleagues who went there earlier have seen even greater change. It's like Britain coming out of the war in the early 1950's and moving into the 80's and 90's in just 10 or 15 years.

It will be a more expensive country very soon (it already is) sadly it will also be a country with a much greater social divide than we had in the 60's 70's, the desperate poverty will still be there for huge numbers of families :(

Oh how I would love to design house with a modern energy system, I could do it too, I have that kind of mind

Very good idea sir!

Sadly Jim, there will always be social divide
Look at the UK, but then again, people who actually choose not to work, and sponge of the state deserve to be divided I guess.
I just wish they would stop blaiming others for their self induced inadequecies
This is how people become ferol, and I guess the Government can be partly blamed for that.
I my self grew up in social housing, and I should know!
Poor people on the other hand in the Philippines would love the opportunity to work, and some simply can't, because of the situation there, as is the same in many developing countries.
Perhaps one day things will change, but not in our lifetime sadly.
Going off on a different tangent here, lol
It would give me great joy to live there soon, and be with my loved ones, and if I did have a business, give some people the opportunity to help with my projects, how big or small.
On my visits there, I did indeed notice quite a social divide, but I guess that's life.
It has been a great honour to visit that Country to expand my horizons, and a great pleasure to meet many warm friendly people.
Ex GF's not included lol

Renewable energy??

I intend to do a great amount of research into this, and will keep you duely informed my friend.

Solar heated water, and wind powered generators, that float charge large banks of lead acid batteries is a good start. That way, when the batteries get charged, a switch could be flipped over to power things like lighting, TV Hi Fi, but not AC or refrigeration for obvious reasons.
I will start a new thread on this pretty soon.

All the best mate.
