Thanks guys for all your help!!! By the way my work is UK recruitment and export marketing and part of my time there will be researching the OFW market and making a business proposal for our company to setup a training centre in Manila to place local graduates in management roles with training and support in conjunction with the Asian development Bank funding. Northern Ireland had a similar brain drain 20 years ago which we solved through a similar model.

Any takers? lol

I kind of guessed you are not a "newbe" when you mentioned that you bought a condo here..
Good to hear you found your agent BTW..
I live not a million miles from Makati..So if you wanna share some SMB`s or a bottle of Matador ..Give me a buzz.
