Everyone I've ever known that lived in the Philippines was either married to a local or worked for some kind of big business. I think those are the only two practical ways.

It is a pity for other foreigners... because the Phil.government is relaxed in issuing visas for the Chinese and Koreans who are also working in Casinos and other big Chinese companies particularly in Manila. I do not know how they can sponsor thousands of Chinese in the country when many Filipinos are jobless. I think it has something to do with the income the government gets from the Casino operations. My family lives very close to the International Airport in Manila and it´s where in these vicinities these Chinese Nationals live.
Visa policies almost never make sense. As my family and I like being self-employed, we are reluctant to give that up even for a short time, but we also lack the size of business and financial resources to land ourselves a business visa in any country. If some country allowed business visas for a $500 investment, we'd move to that country ASAP.
