Hi Steve, welcome.

Can I ask what you do in the way of work in Manila, I am looking to move to Phil in the next year or so, so any advice on employment would be good.

I have a consulting business over there. I do believe that it's better if you can get a posting over there from an International company or have a job lined up already from a local company as it is very hard / frustrtaing to set up a local business as a foreigner

My Mahal's Uncle is a bit of a businessman in Bongabon. He manages a load of farm land. He says he will help us set up with some land too.
I am an engineer by trade (aerospace fitter/mechanic/welder/sheet metal) now a Production Planner, so I am adaptable, but like you say, a tranfer is a good option if you are in that lucky position to work for a company that is already in the region. Oh well!!
