Dreams about Negros Island

The Philippines, one of the most beautiful counties in the world, is the third-largest English-speaking country in the world. It is also one of the most "Europeanized" countries in Asia, in which, moreover, the overwhelming predominance of the Christian population. The main islands are Luzon, Visayan and Mindanao. The state capital of Manila is located in Luzon.

But we will talk about the island of Negros, located in the Central Visayas, and how to buy or build a house. Many ex-pats and tourists have found their hearts and home here. And, of course, everyone thinks about a comfortable place where you can live, work and raise children, or just retire.

Negros is the fifth-largest island in the Philippine archipelago. They say that the island got its name because of the mountain range that occupies most of the island: dark, almost black rocks, overgrown with tropical forests, look very picturesque and make the panorama of the island unforgettable.

Negros Island is the right option for those who want peace and privacy without losing access to city entertainment. There are excellent opportunities for snorkeling, a large selection of nature excursions, beaches of coarse dark volcanic sand, and luxurious tropical gardens.

The Philippine real estate market has thousands of houses and apartments to offer, from bamboo houses to townhouse apartments. But most foreigners are looking for some middle ground. Nature and a quiet place near the city with a security fence, internet, parking, etc., with enough big rooms (not Philippino size) and there are few offers on the market. So which way do most people prefer?

Build your dream home with Black Jack and blah blah blah...

Of course, you will need to find a way to buy or rent land, but foreigners cannot buy land in the Philippines...

So what options do people use?

The first and most popular way to find a beautiful Filipino girl and marry her(and all her relatives).

Second land lease for 25 years, renewable for another 25 years. But you will be limited to 1000 sq. meters.

The third way is to create a corporation with 60% Filipino and 40% foreign parts.

Thus, you will have the opportunity to open a commercial company and at the same time buy land for the corporation.

Ok. You have a land found the nice place for build house what next?

Find construction companies or self-building. Probably you personally have experience with it and know how to build, but most people have no idea how to even start. And believe me, it's not an easy way even if you think the opposite!

I'm living here for 10 years and until now sometimes for me, it is problem to find information or have a deal with local suppliers.

Also some times quality of supplies and the job is not well. You can find a few constructing companies in Dumaguete, but if you really do wanna have European quality it will be your quest. And believe me, you will be enjoying your life way! Just smile and be friendly, cause a smile is the passport of the Philippines. Relax and before coming to the Philippines leave your stress and problems in your own country.

If you will choose Negros Island visit Dumaguete city! It's the most beautiful place in the Philippines. I have been seen many islands and cities here and be sure you on the right way. Diving, mountains, Nature, Lakes, Hot springs, caves, nature, and gentle people with whom you can easily speak English. A lot of students from different provinces came to universities and schools in Dumaguete City.

When people ask me why I choose Dumaguete for living, I always reply

- Rhythm of Dumaguete city is the rhythm of my heartbeat!
