well GM you need to check the zonal value in the Philippines before buying anything here coz different places have different zonal value, if your really interested in buying a house along the shoreline but none of them exist here unless you look and find it in a rural area, specifically in sulu province, and tawi-tawi alot of places there which you can build your small house along the shoreline but sad thing to say you can not own any property here in the Philippines because our law prohibit foreigner to own any kind of property but there are alot of exception to the general rule... im from mindanao preferably in zamboanga city, where fresh oyster came from and other sea foods...
