We are planning on starting a pigery with some investment from ourselves and some close friends in Korea. Her family would be largely responsible for running it, in Ilocos Norte province. They took her in when her parents died, so I trust them. I met them last year and they seemed reasonable people. I too have found lots of bad information on the Philippines, but not much good information. However, I have travelled to many countries including the Philippines and had a good time there. I have my worries, but would also like to give the pigery idea a go. I was wondering if maybe you could share more information on your progress, and indeed, in the future if I could possibly ask you more questions. Like you, it seems, I also believe in the inherent good in people and think this is a good way to give back to her family, who took her in and asked for nothing for 17 years and provide them with stable jobs, while at the same time providing myself and my future wife a limited investment to build up in the place of a retirement fund. My regards, Christopher Plumb Hello,
