Edit: If you are serious about this, your best bet is to move here and get it going. Then when you have it running smoothly, you can move on but still drop by occasionally. However, as I mentioned, I know people who live here and have a hard time finding good staff. Think about all those articles you see about businesses in India trying to hire good staff from the pool of college graduates. I imagine the Philippines is worse (smaller pool of people to choose from, schools on average are probably no better) except that English is an official language here.
