Its not impossible of course and many have probably even done it already
It just sounds like a lot of hassle to me and i hate being ripped off.......

Just find a cheap place and rent it would be my advice and a lot less aggravation
Why should you worry about the barangay captain Last time we built anything, it was the municipal engineer who issued the building permit.

If you are proactive there is no need to pay more than a filipino when buying building materials. In fact there is no need to pay more for any goods.
