Friends,

I am from India, I visited Philippine one time for 12 days. I don't have spouse there, but I like Philippines. Really now I wish to work or start a business in Philippines, especially in Pagadian city or in Zamboanga city. I am an IT professional with more than 6 years experience including 2 year UAE.
Who can give the right info about this.

How can I get a job in Philippines....?

How can I start a small IT based business....?

With regards

SAJAN

Hello Sajan,
聽聽Welcome!
I wish you luck on your plans to relocate to the Philippines. I cannot be of much help about working or starting a business in the Philippines.
I do know there is some history of gun fighting in the streets of Pagadian, and I have heard Zamboanga City may not be the safest place for foreigners.
I believe the vast majority of people in these places are good hearted and very friendly people and I have heard good things about these places otherwise. I get no pleasure "bagging" on areas of the RP, especially since I have such little knowledge of them.
However, it is wise to investigate the safety of the places you choose to relocate very carefully.
Good luck.

dear sajan, suggest that you open up business in cebu which is more ideal for business. there is also a govt incentive given to investor like philippine residency. you just need to be guided.
