BTW..Thats not a derogatory comment as those are pretty common start ups for the average Joe foreigner in the Philippines.
I for one believe that the R.P should have minimum financial requirements for foreigners wanting to do business here.. For their own welfare.... 26K not nearly enough in my humble opinion.

Be careful.
