I don't know if you will have interest to buy water.

Richest developers in our country are not Filipinos.
Lucio Tan was born in China, as well as Henry Sy. Zobel de Ayala family were from Spain and Mexico. They moved to Philippines and acquired citizenship.
Johncar54 was right.
If you want the same rights as the nationals then apply for nationality.
We are far fast learner when it comes to learning other language.
If Filipinos works overseas, they can speak other language when they return back to our country.
I agree with you about corruption. But Philippines is not for sale and we better live poor with good values rather than colonized again and treat us idiots.

You can buy using your GF name, and enter into an agreement to lease her property. If you have agreement for 50 years, she has no right for the property covering that year. Or follow Johncar54 advice.
I dont know really what you mean by "indigenous water. Penny praps flooding when it rains?

Wiki says the same

What you say about leasing is covered by an interesting catch 22 you cant lease from your wife so encouraging at the very least a live in relationship only .not many Filipinas are enthusiastic about this more tea father

Secondly there is the anti dummy laws which basicaly say if you try to curcumvent the owning land rule by a nomanee they can grab it applies to businesses to anyone thinking of investing in such "opportunities" would do well to read that in full

As you may have guessed this is a subject I feel passionatley about as it is fundamentaly racist as well as being short sighted and definatly not cricket If Europe and The Americas defended the rights of there citizens by only allowing 10,000piso equivalents to leave the country with the owner removed the right to own property (sell it in a reasonable time) and reserved occupations for all those who are not here as specialists it would all change in a heart beat.

The way not to be treated as idiots and be colonised is to have a secure equal in the law and democratic system with a strong economy as I said China is resource hungry and has her eyes on controling asia by fair means or foul I wouldnt count on the west to come running as we dont have a strong interest to defend

Freds point is also well made


My answer John to your point is that to really have the interests of the country in which you choose to live at heart it needs to be inclusive not racist owning and peacefully enjoying your own home is a fundamental human right ,sure if a country doesnt allow foriegn residency no probs but for me the litany "we are only guests" doesnt wash unless its the same for that countries nationals here
