The ideal location for your production site in the Philippines: cheap and abundant labour force (educated, english speaking), properties, raw materials, water, electricity etc. Strategic location in the heart of the booming BICOL region (5 million population).

Investment friendly and innovative administration: Tax holidays, tax incentives, easy to get building permits, business permits, professional assistance, no major peace and order problems etc.

Do not hesitate to inquiere for more informations. I am a German national and doing business in the Philippines since 1980. In 1983 we established our Handicraft Factory in Tigaon, the hometown of my Filipina wife. Since then the business is successfully managed by the family of my wife and I visited the place at least twice a year.

During the last couple of years the business inviroment in Tigaon has improved so much. That's the reason why I like to reccomend that place to others. I am also ready to serve as a consultant for your business and/or residential needs in Tigaon or other places in the Philippines. Participate from my long time experience and save a lot of time, headache and money!

Ultra modern telecommunication facillities, luxurious accomodation in Weinert's Pacific Guest House and Beach Resort, international cable tv, one of the most beautifull tennis courts (Visitor Players are welcome at any time) etc. are available as well as farmers who are tilling their rice paddies like thousand years ago. Most of the people are speaking english and the traditional Philippine hospitality can be experienced by the bonafide visitor without any risk:

You like mountain climbing plus a tour to an untouched rainforest in the morning and in the afternoon to take a bath in the Pacific Ocean? And after that to chat (and possibly heavy drink) with the local fishermen, farmers Beach Resort owner, local Major or Congressman? In Tigaon no problem!

Tigaon is also an ideal place for investors who are looking for a more attraktive place in the Philippines other than the overcrowded regions around Manila. The costs for properties, salaries, water etc. are unbeatable low compared to other places in the Philippines. And there are local tax holidays, easy building and business permits, uncomplicated and competent local authorities who are willing to attract (and assist) investors, local and foreign.

There are several daily flights from Manila to the airport of Naga / Pili (40 KM / 25 Miles, good road). A bustrip takes at present approx 11 hours but the road from Manila is now under general repair and there will be soon a shortcut available (7 hours traveltime by bus or rail).

Note: The actual currency crisis in south east asia offers huge opportunities to foreign investors. The exchange rate is very favourable, one can purchase properties, services, commodities etc. at very, very low prices! And nobody knows how long this will last. Or if the Peso might improve against the US Dollar.
