Eric,

For information about a Jollibee franchise just click on the above URL.

I didn't check out what other franchise information was there, but the
URL I have give you probably also has other franchise information;
based on the name of the site. :-)

[LinP3] Re: Philippine Customs Charges

Hey Benny,

That's interesting stuff. I hope my wife and i don't run into any
major "surprises" when we relocate to PI in 2009/2010. I think that
this thread is just the starting point for me to start researching
costs of shipping housewhole goods from CA to PI. The car stays
here... that I promise. We want to bring mostly all our furniture
and some appliances and electronics, not to mention clothes and such.
Has anyone on this Forum done such a thing before and are big$$
expected? Anyway, I'll start with the customs link and then explore
ours over here, etc...

Cheers.

Mark.

[LinP3] Military Address

I have a Military address as many of you do here in the Philippines. I am filling a form online that is asking for the State. On that column, it does not have the AP for State. What can I put down as a State? Would it be California since the mail coming from the U.S. to the Philippines goes through California?
Thanks. God Bless,
Joe & Levi
