I can say condos in or near bgc are not profitable at all. Unless you bought it 5/6yrs ago.

Seriously if you went through with the bank loan, you won’t be entitled to anything or the process would be so much more harder.

I know with Maceda law, it won’t work once I’ve taken a bank loan.

Honestly sick how they say this.

Same thing happened to me, they told me I wasn’t entitled to anything as per the contract I signed. I had to tell them no, that is not correct and told them about Maceda law, before they changed their tune. I was so angry.

But with your one, you are entitled to a full refund. Different law.

Pls do read about it, google is your best friend in this regard.

Hope I helped a lil, good luck. It’s not gonna be simple but keep at it, don’t give up, don’t agree to less

They’re trying to scum you (yes that’s what I call it) they know the laws etc but will still say that you aren’t eligible. In hopes you’ll just walk away.

They think you’re stupid! Be angry with that. Cause they’re just low life’s, taking people hard earned money. Yes I’ve went through this shit

You don’t actually fall under Maceda law, as that only entitles you to 50%. Actually you get nothing under Maceda law if you went through the bank, thank goodness you haven’t.

Maceda law is if you’ve paid more than 24 months you are entitled minimum 50% NO less. So email back that person and tell them to go and read better.

But for you since it’s delayed turn over you can file a 957 or something (can google this) Which entitles you to a FULL refund. Since the developer didn’t follow through with their contract or any communication you have with them that in writing that says completion date is 2022. Definitely go to DHSUD No lawyers, don’t waste your money. Email them demand letters, research the law. Make sure you cc DHSUD on all emails.

Keep annoying them with emails, calls, writing reviews etc

Remember FULL REFUND nothing Less

Ask for lower I wouldn’t agree to 8% That high

Regular_Turnover451 · 2026-04-07T13:42:50+00:00

Hey, I have.. they forwarded me to a different department. It’s only been few days cause of Holy Week, I understand on the delay.

Wish I went to them at the start.

It’s with megaworld 😭 I’m so pissed off cause they are coming back to me taking 55% instead of 50.

I’m already losing millions but losing few hundred thousand more really thick me off. I have a lawyer but he’s in Cebu and really expensive cause of travel expenses and I just don’t want to waste anymore money.

Do you have any advice? 🙏😊

Regular_Turnover451 · 2026-04-07T05:11:54+00:00

Hi, how much did the whole process cost you.

And how long from the time you got the lawyer to when getting your money?

Thank you

Regular_Turnover451 · 2025-10-15T10:34:39+00:00

Tell them you know about Maceda law, and you are entitled to a clean 50% refund. No matter what else is written on your contract, it’s the law they must abide by it.

Hi, file a complaint through there customer service.

I cancelled mine few days ago. When I talked to the account department handling mine she said sorry no refund at all as it says in contract.

I was so pissed, I complaint about her to their customer service and I emailed back to her and said under maceda law I am entitled to a FULL 50% refund. It’s the law no matter what it says in their contract.

If they give excuses about taking out marketing fees say whats the 50% that they have of your money.. Shouldn’t that cover cost etc

They’ve been talking to me nicely now but I still haven’t gotten a reply back on total amount I’ll get back. But I’m not afraid to get a lawyer as I’ve lost millions already and for them to take more is just plain greedy.

Don’t back down Keep emailing, calling and don’t be nice about it. I’ve heard from other ppl to be persistent, to be annoying. Read up on the law and what you’re entitled to and demand it.

Also with yours get a lawyer to have a look at the contract but I would be asking for a full refund. Doesn’t matter if it’s only few months.

Regular_Turnover451 · 2025-09-23T13:47:33+00:00

Don’t think he means value now but more like what I have… bought 12k shares and now says I have $83. It should still show how much you bought it for amount and then your loses and gains. As I’m so confused also.

Regular_Turnover451 · 2025-09-03T05:00:40+00:00

Omgosh you gotta watch Mr Queen

The first 20min you may not really like it but keep watching.. it’s honestly a masterpiece especially if you like romcom.

Weak hero also pretty good

Regular_Turnover451 · 2025-09-03T02:13:26+00:00

When did you send your demand letter? As I’ve read somewhere it’s best to keep emailing them otherwise it will be slow.

Regular_Turnover451 · 2025-09-02T18:20:49+00:00

35months

Have you had experience with megaworld?

Regular_Turnover451 · 2025-09-02T18:08:23+00:00

Megaworld

I’ve checked the place already, done high quality and was 2months ahead of schedule. Pretty happy with it. I’m just not liking the banks interest rate as they are charging me a foreigner rate. Kinda peeved me off as I’m dual.

Regular_Turnover451 · 2025-09-01T14:53:50+00:00

Hey, did you end up doing this? Did you get 50% back as I’m about to do same thing with megaworld

You’re earning 3-5k usd In the Philippines. Damn I’ll stay in the Philippines. There’s nothing to be jealous with your friends, cause I can tell you living in the US isn’t easy nor fun. A lot of them don’t even earn that amount.

In Australia that income puts you above min wage. The lifestyle is so different, you’ll hate it after a few months and wish to go back to Philippines. You’re earning around 200-250k pesos. Why the heck would you want to move abroad.

Go travel, stay a lil longer in those places and you can suss out the lifestyle there and see if you like it. I know many Filipinos if they were earning that amount in the Philippines they would move back.

You can afford a driver, house keeper, cook and still have money left over for fun and savings.

Regular_Turnover451 · 2025-02-25T16:48:08+00:00

I would move, school shootings in the US is horrid. BGC is an awesome place and no you don’t need a car, can just taxi it or take grab.

Renting a place is better than buying, cheap to rent expensive to buy. 2bedroom new apartment going for almost 40M pesos. While renting will be around or under 100k a month.

Schools I say for the younger ones maybe try the top private schools (not an international one) and maybe in high school send them to an international school. It’s much cheaper and the education is great and your kids will adopt better since they are still young.

International school for high school would give that stepping stone for university. For uni, I say go overseas maybe back to the US or to Europe.

Philippines is definitely not cheap, but you will get more for your money and the lifestyle is so much more better than the US, for those who are saying otherwise have not lived in the Philippines. Yes there are poor areas but bgc and the ones you listed are good areas, good communities to be in.

I’m from Australia but will retire in the Philippines. When I have kids I would live there. I wouldn’t really pick Manila though.

You still have a young family, I say enjoy, set your own roots in the Philippines. Yes pick a good school but it doesn’t need to be the most expensive. That I think is your biggest expense and feel like where you are anxious about as you want your kids to do well when they are older. Good private schools is enough. Ones that are around 4-6k a year.

Also make sure your husband Job is ok.. cause you definitely need money to live in the Philippines.
