Philippines at a glance
The Philippines is a wonderful English-speaking (formerly a US protectorate) tropical paradise spread across over 7,100 islands. A popular tourist destination for decades, the Philippines has more recently developed a thriving consumer economy supported by new industries buttressed with massive foreign investment. One cannot wander through one of the country’s massive mega-malls (3 of which are among the 10 largest in the world) for long without encountering a KFC, Starbucks, or some other familiar American brand. While the Philippine economy is developing rapidly, ample opportunities remain for qualified clients with in-demand skills and experience or investment capital.
