Foreign ownership of land in the Philippines

Foreigners cannot own land, but can own condominium units or apartments in high-rise buildings as long as the foreign proportion does not exceed 40%. They can also buy a house but not the land on which it is built. Leases on land up to 50 years, renewable for another 25 years, are available.

If a foreigner is keen on acquiring land, there are several options. One, if married to a Filipino citizen, is to have the ownership of the land under the Filipino’s name. Even though a foreigner cannot buy land, he may acquire land through inheritance. Another option is to acquire land through a corporation. Corporations can only be, at the maximum, 40% foreign-owned. source: Globalpropertyguide

Getting along with the Philippines People

Greetings
English is commonly used in urban areas, normal English greetings are acceptable. The common greeting for acquaintances and friends is Komusta or an expression which is loosely translated in English as “where are you going/what are you doing.” People are taught to show respect to each other. People greet each other in English or Tagalog, since Filipinos are bilingual (many speak Filipino--which is the relatively new “breed” of Tagalog--it is a mixture of old “Tagalog” words, plus some Filipinized Spanish/English words, or Visayan, & English). During the day people greet each other Good Morning/Magandang Umaga (which actually directly translates to beautiful morning/day). It is considered courteous to use the term “po” when speaking to someone older, so Magandang Umaga would be Magandang Umaga Po. Good morning / Magandang umaga (with or without “po”), Good afternoon / Magandang tanghali (with or without “po”), Good evening / Magandang gabi (with or without “po”). It is “warmer” to greet someone in Tagalog/whatever dialect the person speaks. It is like greeting a family member. To call someone over one would call the person by their first name, some (which is considered rude) say “psst” or "hoy”, which is like “hey”. When referring to older people, one uses the term lola (grandma), lolo (grandpa) or when referring to strangers, one uses the term "manang" (for an older woman) & manong (for an older man).
