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.
The Philippines has a robust outsourcing sector, significant foreign investment in power and utilities, and a budding mining industry reopening its doors to the world. Low salaries, an English-speaking workforce, and abundant natural resources attract significant foreign investment. However, political instability, terrorism, corruption, and general security concerns blight the investment landscape.
Pacific Strategies & Assessments (PSA) helps clients maintain equilibrium and risk perspective with our business environment updates and special reports on emerging threats and opportunities, while our security and crisis management services have proved invaluable to preventing and controlling potential threats. Our niche market in government relations and proven track history in investigations - such as due diligence, background screening, fraud investigation, and computer forensics - are also in high demand.
For further information on PSA's services in the Philippines, please email info@psagroup.com or contact our Manila office directly.
