    exchange rate going in wrong direction again, around the same now as it was more than 10 years ago, and just think how much things have gon up since then, rp is not cheap anymore, prices go up ther very quick, and our pound is going down..

    good find terpe. it would be nice if it just got back to around 85, that would help a lot of people with family in rp, i no it wont go back to the boom of 100+ again but would be nice if it did..

    I was lucky really, I met and married my wife in 2002, bought the lot in 2003 then built the house regardless of the rate, and the materials was much cheaper then

    Probably a wasted exercise as by the time that ever happened,the crazy monetary inflation here would have wiped out your gains.
    Example: 2 years ago a cubic meter of gravel here in Bohol was 600 Pesos. I just bought some yesterday for 1200 Pesos per cubic meter.. Same type of thing goes for sand and cement..(you know...The stuff houses are made out of)
