    ... sorry I'm unable to answer your question, Steve. But you do know that, under Philippine Law, foreigners ... e.g. the likes of you or I ... cannot buy property over there - unless we become naturalised Filipino Citizens.

    Having said that, the obvious way round this obstacle, would be for Emma's name to appear on the deeds of purchase.

    depends if you buy a house and land on a subd.. first you have to assume it from the orig owner unless you could find a property being forclose then u can buy it directly from housing office itself..which is more lesser but if you assume it from origibal owner or the one eho occupies..depends on the location will probably cost you rought minimum of 400-500 k or more excluding the mortagage so about 1.5 M pesos is a reasonable price.. tax is another thing to do and will be assess first and varies on the condition of property you wish to bought

    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
