If you were a businessman, in what type of products will you invest your money in the Philippines?

Assume that you are a businessman with an interest to invest in the Philippines. Please defend your decisions.

Easy. Virgin Coconut Oil. It's going to be the next craze/rage in the USA. Once Oprah finds out by eating that coprah she can get skinny.

Because I'm into health food and I've studied the benefits of adding coconut oil in my diet and have seen the incredible results (weight loss, muscle gain, smoother skin, shiny hair etc..) People want to be healthy. it's never going to go away as 'craze' it will stick among the health conscious who have no clue currently.

Make sure it's Virgin and NOT deodorized or bleached

ETA: Then you would export it out of the Philippines of course!

Gaming Consoles...

Bottled Water. Although it is sleezy, philippines don't have the cleanest water, so to purify and create a 'special' water from the Philippines would be perfect.

When I went there, they had lots of fruit and fruit trees. Also rice fields (the stair kind of thingys idk what they are called).

I would invest in that.

Sun tan lotion. 'Nuff said.

I think to better answer this question, you must look what is happening in the economy of the Philippines. Based from your judgments and observations, buy products that you think will have an increase in price in the near future. Example is because the price of coconut oil is increasing, products that use coconut oil as one of their raw materials will be good source of income. Just buy the products, and if the prices continue to rise, you will gain a lot of profit..

Definitely real estate. It seems like the richest people there are real estate tycoons. Think Ayala, Chan, Lopez, Gokongwei... all these people, although they've invested in a lot of other things, their main investment is still in retail.
Think about it this way, there will always be people needing a place to stay or set up their business, being a developer will give you the edge. Property values, if properly developed appreciate steadily

Beach resort and dive shop. Philippines is a haven for divers.

Combining a minor local business with a major focus as an International provider of products and services. Whether it is in manufacturing, exporting, or specialized services, a target market of consumers outside the country has higher potential than the salary of native consumers.

The revenue gain from international sources can still equate to relatively more peso in exchange than what you can earn from local sales.

You effectively boost the country's economy and avoid conflicts between local competition.

Hope this helps!
