PHILIPPINES

Manila is PSA's largest and oldest office, and we pride ourselves on our knowledge of one of Southeast Asia's fastest-changing operating environments. Coups, natural disasters, power outages, rebel extortion, terror threats - the Philippines can throw some daunting challenges at businesses.

The good news, however, is that all of these risks are manageable, and the Philippines can be a very profitable place to do business. We are happy to work with you in identifying, measuring, monitoring, managing, and mitigating the threats to your business in the Philippines, whether it be in Metro Manila's thriving outsourcing industry or at a mine site in Mindanao.

What separates us from our global competitors is:

Cost: We keep our costs in check by operating locally, rather than drafting staff in from major global centers during a crisis.

In-depth area expertise: Our Filipino staff have first-rate networks of contacts, and our expatriates have decades of expertise in the region. We don't fly in to solve a problem - we are already on the ground.

Balance and neutrality: We resist the temptation to make dramatic warnings to increase sales for other consulting services. We know that our credibility is the most important thing we have, and we protect that by always telling it like it is.

What separates us from our local competitors is:

Quality: We have top-class local talent, but we know how to present our information at a global level as well. Our polished, tightly-focused reports translate local knowledge into decision-making power.

Empathy for our foreign clients: We understand what makes management at headquarters worry at night when they see the Philippines on the news.
