I've been reading your comments in other posts, and you surely have my attention.
Yes, the country is poor and that is a fact, but it is definitely not one of the poorest countries in the world for you to malign business opportunities here. Everywhere in the world, there will be people who will take advantage of you when they notice you know nothing of the ins and outs. If you remain negative about everything here, then I don't see any reason why you should stay here in the first place.
I once worked elsewhere, and I came back to my country. I ventured into food and catering business and events organizing business. There is money. THERE IS ALWAYS MONEY WHEN YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE OF YOUR ENDEAVOR, with the right mix of strategy, human resource and finance management. Of course, to earn money you'll need optimism, patience, dedication and a lot of hard work.
I don't mean to judge you, but you need a bit of optimism in your life.
Giovannigio, if you want to venture into swine industry, you can PM me. I have regular suppliers of pork and lechon, and I order frequently. We can talk in private if you want to know how our suppliers work to maximize their profit.
Sirrobcentral is quite knowledgeable in expat living in the Philippines, I would not characterize him as negative. On the other hand, saying that anyone can make money with the right mix of strategy, human resource and dedication is rather optimistic. In addition, earning money does not mean earning a living wage .
