Did he actually run the business on a day to day basis?
Have met many a foreigner who starts a business here and it goes bankrupt because they don't actually run the thing properly. Nothing to do with the native population.
Having family work for you in the Philippines is often the ruin of a good business plan here
He was basically a newbie with money in the bank. The business never got off the ground...probably fortunately for him. He'd even planned to drive one of the taxis himself, in Manila.
Anyway, he learned from his mistakes and has gone on to better things.
Been expat in the Phils for 23 years now. We had a lot of adventures together.
