Here's why.<br />1. Ramon Ang and Manny Pangilinan are buying infrastructure assets left and right. They must know something that most Filipinos do not know. <br />2. There will be a big wave of retiring OFWs and most of them will go back (and forth) to the Philippines in the next 10 years.<br />3. The Sorianos and Ayalas(whether you like them or not) are back big time because of the BPO industry. The Philippines just surpass India in BPO revenue. I don't think La Familia will let go of this industry like they did with Meralco and San Miguel.Supremohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04103139482957390721noreply@blogger.com
