First you need to get a license issued from the Barangay which needs to be notarized. The cost is 200p unless you are a foreigner which means you will get a quicker response if you pay 600p. They will explain that there is a backlog and to inquire in a month for the authorization.
You take the license to the municipality paying 800p for the certification but more if your mother-in-law has a reputation for being obnoxious.
The biggest expense comes at the provincial level where the governor will need to stamp his/her approval but by then your license is out of date and has to be reissued by the Barangay for another 600p. The governor will require an interview between his staff attorney and your obnoxious mother-in-law who will insult the staff attorney and require an additional payment of 5000p but eventually deny your application. You can appeal before a full board of staff attorneys for another 10,000p but a clerk advises you to bring in someone other than the real mother-in-law and throw in a basket of papayas with envelopes of pesos addressed to each board member. It only takes around 3 years to complete the process but unfortunately by then there is a new governor and your license has expired so you will need to reapply.

Which all equated to VERY high pricing for sh*t products and horrible service in the Philippines. It's all about ZERO competition and price fixing...
