I am looking to move to BACOLOD soon, I have recording studio equipment, a mobile disco and I can also teach Computer studies, how to use windows, repairs, etc. I am an electronics engineer, my biog is on www.geocities.com/jimi_maxwell. If anyone can help, either with starting out, renting a place,I am getting a 1 year working visa to start with - but I need a bit of help when I get there, I am 50, single, and I am not scared to work hard. I plan to visit this year to look at the possibilities there. If you have ideas or can help, please email me, the recording studio has all the equipment to make CD albums and videos too, for bands and individual singers who wish to make their albums. The prices will be good, I am not wanting to earn a fortune, just enough to pay my rent, food, and go out at weekends and enjoy life. I have been in Cebu before, and I love the Philippines so much I come back to stay !! Just that I might need some help, I am British and live in Spain.

Answer:
To move to the Philippines without a steady source of income is foolhardy to put it mildly. I hope you have something in reserve until/unless you can get established. Bacolod is really small compared to Cebu. Personally I don't see a big market for your services. Not to say it can't be done, but I think your chances are slim. There is also no way to obtain a "working visa". Either you can come up with $20,000 U.S.D. for a SSRV Visa to work legitimately or you'll be here on a tourist visa and not allowed to work. The locals aren't keen on competition, especially from a foreigner and trust me, there are dozens of Portable Disco's and D.J.'s out there and a bunch more offering basic computer skills training in a classroom or for tutoring. Add to that all the customs duties you'll pay on that equipment comming in here. I just don't see how you have a recipie for sucess. Their are plenty of hard working people in this country. The problem is there are so many unemployed people that are already established, someone offering your services is paid very low. The only way I see any chance of you suceeding is in a large city like Manila or Cebu and evan then you'll need the help of some well connected locals to get your business going and a bunch of start up cash. I wish you luck, but just can't see this happening. I think you ought to join the yahoo group of expats in the Living in the Philippines Group and get some good info there too.
