Thanks for keeping this topic open Bhavna, yes imports and exports with regards to the Philippines but part of the equation are prices and availability of oil and commodities coming out of a war ravaged zone, the operative word here now is imports ... Read More

While a very old topic kind of reminds me of the old Supertramp song "dreamer".P55K? Seems you shat in a hole in the ground and had a running water supply you could bucket water from. Get real. I've been here a long time and well know ... Read More

As per the topic "Philippines imports and exports" Seems little has changed aside from another endless war where the cost of fuel for most punters world wide has gone through the roof, deliveries and basic needs the prices rise and why? It's ok for ... Read More

Interesting points Fred and I would agree that alternatives have to make economic sense, for me they do if you do the math and have some experience. I have had 3 solar systems over the last 30 years and see the benefits in the hip pocket.What I will ... Read More

Onward Ticket by Lat61
If you're not a Filipino Citizen, you can't just fly one way into the Philippines. You need to purchase a roundtrip or onward ticket before flying or you will be left at the gate. Exception to this rule is any children 15 years or younger with their ...
