Doing business and investing in the Philippines (2005)

This Guide has been prepared for the assistance of those interested in doing business in the Philippines. It does not cover exhaustively the subjects it treats but is intended to answer some of the important, broad questions that may arise. When specific problems occur in practice, it will often be necessary to refer to the laws, regulations and decisions of the country and to obtain appropriate accounting, tax and legal advice.
