The first thing you should do is make sure you have around 6 months living expenses in an at call bank account. Even though this money isn't working as hard as stock investments would, it should be the foundations for your financial freedom. Once you have that in place you should then look at funds. There are funds and ETF's that focus on the Philippines, the best way to evaluate them is to look at the one with the least fees, past performance is rarely a good indicator of future performance, especially in a diversified portfolio. \n\nYou are, at this stage in your life, much better off investing your savings in training and personal development so that you can get a better job and eventually start your own business. These really are the paths to financial freedom.

Ha!  You don't need a website for that, you just need money.  Go to the Philippines and wave some dollars around.  They will stick to you like shrimp on rice baby!  All those hot asian pacific girlies wanting to marry so they can come to the USA and divorce you and take half. Do it dude!

depends on where you are.For example, in Hong Kong you  can open a PNB account though i'm not sure about BPI. In Singapore, you cant for both. In US or western countries I doubt it cuz they have less coverage unless you want to open an OCBC or HSBC account instead, they have more coverage worldwide and they have main branches in Phil too.\n\nFor a joint account i dont think they allow it cuz you need to be with your son in the same place/branch at the moment you're openin the account. You can either ask them to open a personal time deposit or personal savings account. Savings have interest gain too but very small. Then you can bank in money from where you are through remittances. For interest rates on time deposit, can vary from time to time you should check with the bank itself.\n\nPostcriptum: If you're working abroad you might want to consider openin a US dollar account, more stable than peso in the long term if you're doing time deposit, you might have greater returns too.\n\n\nPhil is Philippines.  General Luis and Novaliches are provinces in Philippines, pretty much like the equivalent of Fujian and Guangdong in China... s.hit i gotta get out of this continent...

Here is a great way to invest. It is fool proof, not as quick as you may prefer, but you can trust it.\nwww prospera-fund dot com\nThey are invested with several traders in stocks and FX accounts, (diversified).\nThere you can invest money to earn 10% a month compounded! After testing with 100.00 it works, and so I invested more, four different options, all 10% a month, "offshore investing".\nExamples of compounding: 1000.00 after one year: 3130.00.\nor, 200.00 after 5 years: 60,000.00\nDo it, and forget it for 5 years, you'll not be sorry. \n\nSource(s):\n\nwww.prospera-fund.com \nrefer. luckyrick

There probably is none. What you need to do is to take the necessary documents (your passports, and details of the ABC account), go to a local bank in the Philippines and do the regular T/T or wire transfer to the Agricultural Bank of China account.

You can either buy short term securities like Cetes if all you want is FX exposure; you can buy longer term bonds (called M's) if you also want exposure to local interest rates.\nThere also dollar denominated securites that trade in and offshore Mexico, called UMS bonds.\n\nThere are a lot of Mexicanfixed income mutual funds in which you can invest, according to what you are looking for.\n\nDepending on the ammt you want to invest, you should contact either a Mutual Fund Distributor (Distribuidora de Sociedades de inversion) or Fund Manager (Operadora de Sociedades de Inversion) or a Broker Dealer (Casa de Bolsa) or Bank's Private Equity Area.\nWrite me w/your email address and I'll go the names and ph numbers of a couple of institutions if you want.

Good luck with your plan. I have yet to hear a 100% fully government funded project in the Philippines that is given to private developers.\n\nNonetheless, knock on the doors (and bring lots of grease money) to the following offices:\n\nHousing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB) http://www.hlurb.gov.ph/\nHome Development Mutual Fund (Pag-IBIG Fund) http://www.pagibigfund.gov.ph/\nNational Housing Authority (NHA) http://www.nha.gov.ph/\nGovernment Service Insurance System (GSIS) Bahay Ko Housing Program http://www.gsis.gov.ph/services_benefits/loan_privileges/bahay_ko.html\nSocial Service System (SSS) Housing Loans http://www.sss.gov.ph/\nHome Guaranty Corporation (HGC) http://www.hgc.gov.ph/

do what every other biz does.  buy a lead list of people who invest in real estate outsside usa and start smiling and dialing.  but i will let you in on a known fact, people don't invest, unless you have something you can send them. and in that somthing you send them, make sure you are spelling it out a - z.  everything.  why they should put their money in asia. basically what are the returns.  whats the project, whos involved,  experience level, track record etc.  good luck.  leads cost about $1-15 per potential investor and find yourself a good lead broker or you will be wasting your time.

If by short you mean 2 to 4 years try investing in life settlements or viatical settlements.  These investments can get very high returns from typically about 16% to 22% and sometimes higher,and with little to NO risk to your priciple if you find the right companies.  Be weary though, there are a bunch of crap companies out there that will just rip you off, but I have had personal experiance with a couple of top notch companies and have seen it happen.  I guarantee that a majority of the folks on here have never even heard of these investments, but there is an alternative to the stock market and mutual funds.  You just have to know where to look.\n\ngood luck

beginnersinvest.about.com and earlyearners.com\nTwo websites you can check out. Best way to start investing is to just by setting aside a small about each week or month i.e. 25.00/week and letting it set in a savings account until you find a certain investment you would like. Whatever you do make sure that the investment is something you are comfortable with. And whatever anyone tells you nothing will guarantee a return except goverment obligations such as government issued bongs and banks. OTher than that there is risk. However risk isn't necessarily bad. Just research before you buy.

try this. no investment required. no inventory to keep. no quotas to meet. fun and easy to do.\n\nhttp://www.stuffafriend.biz/members/xtnl...\n\nof course, like with any other business, though, the amount and quality of work you put in will be reflected in the income that you will make. so you can choose to work a little or work alot, it's really all up to you.

The interest rates for savings in the Philippines are rather low, unfortunately, around the area of 1-2%.
