We manufacture and sell footwear in Liliw Laguna. There are roughly 50 shops in the town that have the same business. To most people that may seem like a lot of competition but if anything it makes you strive to provide a better quality product at competitive prices. We make a good living and its more than i would working in the UK.
Have watched over the years quite a few brits/europeans/americans come here and they have set up businesses which have failed. There are various reasons why but id say there main reason for failure was the fact they didn't spend there time actually running it!
None of my wife's family are directly involved with our business apart from the weekends when her nieces work as salesladies.

OK.. Well fair play to you! Its not often we hear about success stories of this kind in the R.P where Brits are involved.. Keep it up. You may be the next shoemart!!
