Tiger.. You make a good point there.
Immigrants to the Philippines have very few rights,even those whom are married to Filipino`s.
As you say,they cannot own land or or own a business that is not predominantly Filipino owned..The 60/40 rule.. These laws are designed here to protect the R.P against the foreign monopolies invasion!! Families like Ayala`s and Cojuangco`s dont need the competition!!Obviously there are no benefits that we can claim here etc
Its up to Foreign Gov. diplomats to report these disparities so that the foreign governments can provide parity in their respective countries in favour of their own citizens abroad.
Does this ever happen?? Not on your nelly mate!! The British embassy for example is a revenue producer only and is a practically useless resource for the average Brit abroad.
They don`t even issue British passports here anymore!!
When a Brit travels or lives abroad..They are on their own!
Is the R.P anti immigrant? I`m not sure about that.
As long as we pay the visa fee`s and help the economy by spending our Pounds and $$`s without ever owning anything we will always be tolerated I guess.
Upset the wrong guy though and it deportation.. And you have to deport yourself..with your own funds..(after paying any overstaying fees)
