Start a Business in the Philippines
This is one of those sorts of posts that I really don’t care much about writing. This site is essentially a labor of love. I make a non-trivial income from a number of online ventures, but PhilFAQS certainly isn’t much of an earner. I tell myself often I should only write about the things that [...]
How Much Is A College Degree In The Philippines?
There’s a question I have been asked regarding living here in the Philippines a time or two in the past. The shortest answer is, a heck of a lot less than an equivalent school in the US. But that’s not a very specific answer, is it? Also, you can always get into a veritably endless [...]
Another Philippine Pony Found — True Life Living In The Philippines
Just recently I answered a comment on one of my articles on Bob’s Philippine Web Magazine in what many may feel is a pretty contrition manner. A lady wrote to tell me that the reason she wasn’t moving to the Philippines to live was because there was no opportunity here … especially for young teen [...]
Philippine Business Resources
As many know, I often get queries from readers about starting a business in the Philippines for themselves, or helping a family member put together a business and get it off the ground here.

Philippine Living — Where Did The Money Go?
As much as so many of us talk about money, cost of living, investments and other money-related matters here in the Philippines or back home “day dreaming” about the Philippines, it’s amazing to me just how few of us keep very good track of our money.
I had this driven home to me several times when [...]
Philippine Family Matters
Some readers may remember the blockbuster HBO series, The Sopranos. Many know I a a certified (certifiable?) Sopranos fan, maybe because so much of the show was filmed a few block from one of my boyhood home and I grew up knowing a lot of characters who could have been hired, as is, directly into [...]
New Face in the Old PhilFAQS — Introducing Our Newest Author, Gia
In the past we had some excellent articles written here by a guest author, Arvin. I welcome any other submissions from folks who have something to say. I’m not trying to make this blog into a magazine or portal site, but it’s certainly refreshing, even to me to see words and thoughts aside [...]

Make Money In The Philippines — Doesn’t Matter Where You Live
Usually I write about business in the Philippines and making money in the Philippines on Fridays and/or Saturdays, but this one has a short lead time … it’s an opportunity that will be gone by Friday. Will you look at this and say, “Yeah, right , Dave” and then move on to something else? … [...]
