Manila, Why NOW?
The Philippines has been politically stable now for decades and recently the government announced a truce in the long running war with the muslims in the south of the country who wanted a separate state
With the solution to the above crisis and the success of the economies in South East Asia investors are actively seeking out new opportunities and the Philippines is rich in commodities and agricultural resources which makes the Chinese, Japanese, Koreans & Singaporeans keen investors.
Manila and the Philippines has suffered from under development for decades due to corruption and lack of funds. This means the country now has a significant way to go to catch up with the infrastructure required to help it sustain its current high rate of growth.The Philippines has wealthy and successful neighbors looking for investment opportunities in a stable country who are now helping to fund the infrastructure which is required.
With the current economic upturn in Manila creating many new jobs in Manila and also attracting many of the worlds top companies there is a shortage of decent residential accommodation.
The Philippines is blessed with one of the best educational systems in South East Asia which means that English is spoken by almost everyone and that English is the language of business. Proof of the high esteem that education is held can be seen by the millions of Filipinos who work around the world as nurses, engineers and other skilled professions. These people are called ‘overseas foreign workers’ [OFW’s] and bring more revenue to the Philippine economy than any other source and are currently the largest buyer of investment property in the Philippines.
The property sector in Manila is well regulated allowing the buyer to have peace of mind that their investment is secure. The major developers in Manila are well known and have won awards and projects internationally which they have developed to very high standards.
Manila due to the excellent level of English spoken by the local people has become a rival to India for the ‘International Call Centre Business’. This is an extremely lucrative and sustainable business for Manila which employs thousands and helps multi national companies in Europe & the US reduce their costs.
With the booming economy in Manila dragging workers into the central business districts rents are high and often unaffordable for many creating long commutes for them into work.
This means that rental yields in Manila are high compared with other capital cities around the world including SE Asia giving the buyer a yield which can be over 7% annually.
