Don't think for one second that your friendly competitors won't have you blown away if you become too successful
Sorry to inform you but yes that's how business operates in the Philippines
Where did I say it was a cakewalk?
Starting and running a successful business in any country is hard work. If it was that easy everybody would do it!
I have met a few foreigners with a huge wedge of cash, and grand ideas of doing business in the Philippines their way. Most end up going home broke and blame it on someone else. They seem to easily forget they never spent anytime actually running the business.
You seem to be an expert on business in the Philippines. Tell me exactly how long did ‘you’ run a computer shop in Makati? I’m also curious to know how long you lived here and in what areas? I respect your privacy, however giving a rough idea would suffice!
