hi my name is pazz, i have been going to the philippines for the last 10 years.i have built a small resort on camotes island north of cebu this was the the hardest thing i have ever done, and the most rewarding, you do get a lot of red tape but if you do things right you will get your reward and also end with your dream

I'm from Lilo-an Cebu but grown up in Lahug, uptown Cebu City. I live now with my husband in wolverhampton. Hope to visit on your new built resort in the future. The last time we went to Camotes Island (San Francisco) was 2007 at Santiago Bay Garden and Resort.
Good luck and have a wonderful day!

If you'll forgive me for asking ... *HOW did you manage? I thought Philippines' Law prohibited "foreigners" from either building or buying up property in their own names - hence I'm not unduly surprised to learn about the 'red tape' you encountered.

*Pass? [!]

However ... well done ... good luck with your venture ... and to the friendly, online filipino/uk community.

That's lovely pazz. My family & friends keep in touch with me through Facebook & I was amazed with the progress. Our last visit in Cebu was June 2010 but we spent it with the family going out to water falls & picnic as it was also my parents Golden Wedding Anniv. We planned to spend xmas this year but I am due to give birth xmas day, hopefully to visit Cebu on April next year. But me and my hubby after visiting the family we always stay out from the city. If going to North we go to Malapascua Island. If going to South we go to Sumilon Island. I still don't know how to insert photo in here lols. But anyway let us know the progress of your project. May I know where in Camotes Island?

Ah ... I thought that might be the only way. I know someone else - an English chap ... now settled permanently in Tagum City, Mindanao - who did much the same thing. Everything worked fine for him ... and I'm sure it will do for you too, Pazz.

consider your new resort as a wonderful gift from santa Yes, my husband loves Malapascua Island coz it's great out there.
So that is part of Tulang Island. The smallest of the 4 islands but the wicked one. Hope u post some photo of the progress in the future. Have u thought of a resort's name? Is it ok to add u as a friend? Hope to visit the resort one of this days.....
