2. OVERVIEW OF THE PHILIPPINE REAL ESTATE
The Philippine Real Estate industry is in the grip of a frenetic swirl as
widespread construction transforms the capital Metro Manila into a burgeoning
world-class metropolis. The outlying provinces and major cities are likewise
developing into vibrant economic growth areas that complement the main engine
that is Metro Manila.
The industry is just now recovering from the effects of the 1997 Asian financial
crisis that brought the Philippine Real Estate sector into a long swoon. The
current property boom indicates that the industry has awakened from the
slumber and is now on a steady climb.At the recent news Real estate players are
rejoicing that the Philippines has achieved its first investment grade rating from
Fitch.
The promising outlook for the residential sector of the Philippine Real Estate
industry is fuelled by rising incomes due to the steady rise in the Philippine
economy for the past several years, as well as massive interest among overseas
Filipinos wanting to establish permanent or temporary residence in the country of
their birth or ancestry. The increasing number of expatriates in the country and
the increasing numbers of International migration and Increasing tourist arrivals
are likewise contribute to the demand for such residential facilities.

3. The similarly rosy outlook for the commercial/office sector of the Philippine Real
Estate industry is driven by the upsurge in the number of Business Process
Outsourcing (BPO) companies that are setting-up shop in the Philippines. The
employment and income boom generated by these companies in turn fuel a consumer
boom that has resulted in the take-up of more residential spaces.
These developments indicate that the Philippine Real Estate industry is now on a
growth trajectory that is expected to be sustained in the short to medium-term. The
Philippines is thus expected to emerge from this cycle as a country with bustling
metropolitan areas with ultra-modern skylines and picturesque housing estates.
These will in turn make the country a better and more conducive place to live and do
business in and thus will lay the foundations for future industry growth. The biggest
opportunity for growth in the property sector is the housing.At the end of 2010,it is
saddled with a backlog of 3.6 Million units, and as direct effect of population growth,
this number is projected to rise to 5.7Million by 2016.
