Living in Angeles City he succumbed.

Indeed Bob. "Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Ah, off topic but (god rest his soul) Benny Hill certainly entertained and back in the day had a very risky sense of humour for the day.

Back on topic how does everyone know what happened to the OP, for me he simply disappeared.

Cheers, Steve.

Tariq may be hoping to get the student loan forgiveness. But noooooo, not my taxes.

@Tariq1983  Buying property in the Philippines as a foreigner is possible, but it requires additional steps and requirements such as obtaining a Tax Identification Number, opening a bank account, and securing clearance from government agencies. It's important to consult with a reputable lawyer or real estate agent and be aware of hidden fees and taxes. However, with the right guidance and due diligence, it's possible for a foreigner to purchase property in the Philippines.

I also do not know what happened to the O/P but I do remember that he disappeared from the forum for a few months before and returned. He is not the only one though, we have not heard from our Scottish member Gusturdee (maybe slightly wrong name) for some months now also.

Tariq last posted on February 23rd and said: So I'm now back in New York. I was 8 months in the Philippines and I love it here. This time I wanna see in Cebu. I can go into trucking for three years and I wanna buy a condo by 2025-2026. I love Philippines and thank you for everything.

Please outline how a foreigner can own a property aside from a 60/40% (foreign) Condo or a long term lease and you still don't own the land nor ever will.

Interested to hear your take on this and where you got your info from and credibility.

Cheers, Steve.

@Cherryann01

get his rig back.

Cherryanne once syphilis has taken hold there is only so much Doc can do 😟

@bigpearl The Constitution prohibits foreign citizens from owning land, as stated in Article XII, Section 7. However, foreigners can still own other types of property, such as buildings, houses, and commercial establishments for example Condotels, Corporate Ownership, Land under lease and through. Inheritance.

Firstly I see you are trying to preach to the converted that are well aware/versed that no non Filipino citizen can own land, all other tools/methods to secure property are simply that whether a long term lease, a 60/40 company, condo, marriage etc. the foreigner never owns the land. Buying a condo or long term lease? Some shelf company? You may well own the building but never the land it sits on.

As for inheritance on land secured by a foreigner has to be on a clean title (from memory) dated prior to 1935 or was it 1939, prior to that part of the constitution being changed and has to be handed down to only direct heirs, not for sale to outside entities only Filipino citizens, heirs yes, perhaps I'm wrong and could stand corrected.

Inheritance from a departed spouse is a whole new kettle of fish as the land was always in the departed's name and hereditary rules/doctrines here include parents, siblings and any one else that thinks they have a claim on the estate.

I asked you in another thread here Marysmith0901 what you were selling to which you chose not to answer. Time to come clean?

OMO.

Cheers, Steve.

@bigpearl I've already answered your question, I am not selling anything, and  I am just commenting based on my own experience and personal opinion. And I don't see any problem with people selling a product or anything as long as it's legal. So this will be my last reply to your comment. I am not here to argue, or sell anything. I'm here to make friends and have a beautiful conversation. Thank you so much!

As said preaching to the converted, those members and newbies such as yourself should take, make the time to read past threads for years with regards to property ownership, have you bothered to read 5,000 post over 20 plus years with regards to this subject?

Perhaps enlighten us with regards to your experiences.

Do you live in the Philippines, have you been through the hoops and hurdles constantly thrown at those wishing to simply own a condo that will be torn down @ the 50 year mark, no different to a long term lease or some baked up 60/40 shelf company or an SIRV.

I hope dearly that you find a beautiful conversation but talking about property ownership here is definitely an interesting way to get the ball rolling, I here there are many good sites to strike up a chat without mentioning real-estate/property ownership.

Good luck.

Cheers, Steve.
