Another Ph Real Estate Industry Catalyst: 200 Japanese firms in China want to move to PH

This is already a pretty old article written by Ms. Chrisee Dela Paz which I saw in Rappler. I felt it was relevant as this potential influx of Japanese investment into the country will further spur the property boom in our country.

With it, there will be additional jobs, and ancillary businesses will also flourish, giving many Filipinos the better financial standing. There will also be the prolonged stay of Japanese expats who will be involved in these businesses who will need a place of residence.

So here is the article:

200 Japanese firms in China want to move to PH

Labor strikes, wage increase, and historical issues are reasons many Japanese manufacturers want to exit China and enter the Philippines

MANILA, Philippines – Around 200 Japanese companies in China want to relocate their bases here in the Philippines, as declining economic growth and rising wages there are making it difficult for them to continue doing business.

Best Places to Retire Abroad: The Philippines - As Written by an Expat

This article I saw on The Wall Street Journal really intrigued me as I often wondered how foreigners who retired here were doing. 

Besides seeing a glimpse on how they're living "the good life" here, I also saw how us, as Filipinos disregard our own country in favor of others, like the USA, UK or other first world countries.

Our country really is a great place to retire in. No extreme winters, with goods and services that are comparatively cheap. Peace and order are also good in most areas, plus the people are mostly good-natured.

Let's hear Charles' take on it:

If you are considering retiring in another country, I am no doubt biased, but I believe it’s hard to beat the Philippines.

I first visited this island nation (about 7,000 islands in all) 24 years ago when I was 52 years old. At that time I was a college professor doing research, and friends introduced me to a lovely young lady who over time became my wife. I am now 76 and retired, and my wife and I plan on spending much of the rest of our lives in the Philippines.

NEWS FLASH - Ayala Land to build ‘huge’ shopping mall in Parañaque

The property developer is set to build a shopping complex rivaling Mall of Asia in terms of size

I've recently seen this news, this one particularly from Rappler.com, its also on sites such as those of the Philippine Inquirer and Philippine Start and the Standard. 

This bodes well for the area since its practically the Gateway to the South via the Coastal Hi-way. I anticipate that housing prices in the area will soon appreciate.
