The Lord knows best; when a door is closed he has better deal for you.

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

In the recent deal proposal and evaluation several were botched/did not proceed

1.  The 2600 sm property which we planned for a higher end residential.   The owner wanted P7,500/sm
     we bided only P6,000 because this input is what the market could take    At 7,500 + 2,000 dev                     cost/0.60 = 15,333 BE.    Retail plots at P20,000/sm to make a decent profit.   100 sm x 20,000 =  2M
     The selling price of a nearby subdivision is P12,000 only (P2,000,000 for a 180 sm property)  We               would be pricing ourselves out of the market.   Anyway, the seller gave a deadline and never more 
     responded.

2.  A 9,600 sm property located in a criminal laden site.   The owner was difficult to deal with being
     a former state university activist bad boy.    The property terrain is anti good feng shui and 
     had a cliff like depressed portion.  The seller said there is better access road but he could not show
     this.   We will forego of this project

But there were new opportunities and therefore, the Lord knows best:   There were better replacement:

B projects

1.  A 7.2 hectare project in NW Luzon a jv, this will save a lot of PHP for land acquisition.  Located in a tourism city and sales could reach B, because the product competition is priced at P100k+
     7.3 x 60% =  43,800/2.5 =  17,520  x  80,000 = P1,401,600,000

2.   A possible jv for a mp in town with 300,000 population for 1.4 + 4 hectare good for a yield of
5.4 x 60%/2.5 =    13,000 x P 80,000 per plot =  P1,080,000,000

3.  To substitute for #1, there is a 4,600 project located on the highest point of a hill located near a shrine that is overlooking that is priced at P2,700 per square meter.   We can do this as premium overlooking project.  

                          4,600 x 2,700  =  12,420,000    

                          BE    12,420,000  x 4,600,000/0.60   =   10,811  (dapat P15,000)   
                          HL premium project

4.  Another commercial residential   26000 sm kapapanalo lang sa Supreme Court.    say 

                      6,000 for commercial/sale lease   x 15,000  =     90,000,000

                      20,000 x 5,000                                                   100,000,000

                     Payag ng JV
 

Trust no one, only the Paranoid survive

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

Ever experienced having a mine salted ie that the property to be bought is really golden due to rosy picture being painted but in reality, the project is devoid of value.

"In mineral exploration, salting is the process of adding a valuable metal, especially gold or silver, to a sample from a mine to change the value of the sample with intent to deceive potential buyers of the mine".

During the negotiation for a memorial project, one of the agents presented a list of 150 supposed buyers But when the project was being marketed none of the 150 proceeded to buy and the agent is now singing a new tune.  Before he was saying that these buyers were turned back because  the ongoing negotiation.  But now a development is needed so that buyers would move. So it was just a list and this post fell for it.  Now that the agent has gotten his commission

Talk about integrity and keeping your word.   This leaves a bitter taste and bad rap for belief in what people say.  

Philippines seen as emerging manufacturing hub together with Bangladesh and Vietnam

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

Philippine is upbeat with fantastic 6.4% QI performance.  Add to this is the news that according to report
of BMI a Fitch Solutions company that Philippines is emerging as manufacturing hub together with Vietnam and Bangladesh.  This is due to improvement of supply chain (before the pier congestion brought about by BOC challenges) created bottlenecks and upgrading of manufacturing skills and capabilities

We have seen the exit of manufacturers from China and where do they migrate to?




Some quarters even place Philippines as No. 29 in GDP performance
