Since there are over 7,000 islands in the Philippines,is it possible for me to buy one?

Question

IF I had the money?

Answer 1

sure

but u also have 2 be a philippines citizen

Answer 2

You would have to be a citizen of the Philippines or be an authorized corporation .... I know several people who own islands......even one who built his own island

Answer 3

Yes, you can possibly buy one as long as you have the money. Take a look at this site:

Answer 4

No, because they are all taken.  I and my family own one of the islands. hehehe....just kidding.  Well, I don't think an island is available for sale.  The government owns it, the people who live on the islands own it.  The most you can do is wait for someone who owns one of the islets or small islands to give up his interest in his property and sell it to the highest bidder.  Now, you start saving for when that time and day comes, you will be the first with an offer he cannot simply refuse.  

Answer 5

No need.  Just learn to play golf.  

And then, invite Ben Abalos and Mike.   Between the two of them, surely one vacant island can be arranged.

You will occupy it free of charge provided you develop the island.  And remember that the Republic still exercises Eminent Domain.

Should you build hotels and other business enterprise,  taxes should be paid to go into the coffers of Government, and for other lawful purpose, like playing golf.

Answer 6

yes. but you should be a filipino citizen.

and i just saw on TV someone who bought an island in the philippines.

worth P5,000,000.00 and more.

and that's just a small island.

but if you think you're rich enough.

then go.

buy one.

Answer 7

Yes of course. But, you must be aware of Pirates that could possibly rob and kill you.

Answer 8

Filipino have over 7000 ways to swindle you out of your money.  Selling you an island is probably at the top of the list.

Answer 9

If you have the money, anything is possible. You can even make your build your own island like Donald Trump if you can't find an available one.
