no, im not interested. mahirap kasing mag open ng business dyan sa pinas. simula pa lang sa mga permits eh kokotongan ka na ng mga nasa gobyerno. kung hindi ka naman maglalagay eh bibitinin ang mga papers mo. sasabihin eh hindi pa tapos at pababalikbalikin ka pa nila. magbabayad ka ng tamang tax pero ibubulsa lang ng mga kawatan sa gobyerno.

maybe OFWS can just become venture capitalists. protected naman kayo. all you have to do is to find a very good business proposal from the young smart entrepreneur ones, and give us your money.

i believe that some of the very aggressive expanding small franchises ngaun eh kina-kapital-an ng mga venture capitalists from singapore. I'm drafting 2-3 business proposals nga ngaun to submit to them. sana makakuha ako kahit P3M capital lang

I classified my self as an OFW before. Invest in Stock Market. Look for Blue chips and Active Second liners I've heard mataas na naman ang markado.

Or bumili ng Bonds and T-bills. It's like gambling minsan nananalo ka minsan naman talo. But in T-Bills wala kang talo. Intay ka lang ng days and months.

Monitoring of stock market ang libangan ko nung estudyante pa ako. I'm now in T-Bills. Walang talo!

ocanursjr,

I am also an OFW and Im into stock market at the moment, but I am also interested in buying T-Bills. Where can I buy T-Bills? How many months is the maturity & what is the interest rate?

Thanks a Lot!

Im not an OFW, but a US Resident for 12 yrs. (so qualified ba ako??) hehe.

anywayz, I would open up a business in the Philippines in a few years. a High-Performance Auto Shop and a Recording Studio. either in Cavite or in Alabang / Paranaque area's.

aite, peace.

bump this thread

verry much willing but for OFW who's not physically there in phils e risky kung ipagkatiwala sa iba. Ipon muna.

btw saang t-bills / bond ang open ngayon? i mean anong bank? will be back for a short vacation this march, would like to take the available window to invest in such.

Already have returned and set-up a biz here. It is a growth market in my field and foreigners are actively looking tie-ups.

Lots of interesting challenges and lots of opps. All you have to do is look.

People from developed markets like it since there is a rich talent pool and the market is not as saturated and already pre-determined a their countries.
