Me and my fiancée will be moving back to the philippines soon and are thinking of opening a bar in her home town. I am looking for advise on what kind of permits and licensing are needed for a bar there. We will spend some time looking around at the competition and decided. Another big question is how do I go about acquiring suppliers of beer to the philippines?
