    Along with Larry.. Manila Forward...not he or myself will rate that here...

    I think there is an opening to setup with the chinese tramp steamers that handle all the BBbox shipments.*Container shippers*..tah dah..
    . the way to make the big bucks is always find a hole and fill it.. I just dont have the startup that it takes today..the holding stations both in Manila and stateside/aussie/euro would also be costly.. or you can try to just cookie cutter it and put all the existing services together. This is a country that only ships in..plain and simple..there is not much commerce for the average *Pino-Joe* to ship international..but it could all be put together.. start a group..gather the funds..make a fortune?> maybe ..but an even harder part would be gettting the money together to do the startup..given the information known and the difficulty of doing anything in country here for a foreigner.. There is zero interest for money pinoy to be involved ..as far as I can see anyways..*shrug*..
