Yats Leisure Retirement division rolls out retirement plan for foreigners to retire in Philippines
A clean, safe and laid-back lifestyle is offered by Yats Clearwater Resort & Country Club for people to retire in Philippines.
Clark Freeport is for sure the best proposition for retirement in the Philippines especially for those who still want to be useful and productive. The three critical factors of cost, safety and cleanliness are all present. However it pays to plan this out properly to avoid any unpleasant surprises down the road. Remember that Philippines is still a 3rd world country and that means one has to expect 3rd world risks to come with the package.
Early this year, Yats Leisure formed a division to help foreigners retire comfortably in the Philippines. A special Clearwater retirement plan is put together to make retirement not only simple but also very affordable. The package requires only a small upfront payment of US$250,000 followed by monthly installments of just US$1,500.
Here are some of the items that are packaged into this Retirement Plan:
Living: Retiree gets a private 150sm lot with a 3-bedroom 100sm house in a private and exclusive residential subdivision.
Lifestyle: Included is a lifetime membership of Clearwater Country Club, a project of Yats International Leisure Clark, Inc. (www.YatsLeisure.com)
Entertainment: Besides the amenities offered by Clearwater Country Club, there are ample attractions within Clark Freeport. A discount card that entitles to the holder to 10% discount on food and beverage on all Yats outlets in Clark Freeport is included in this package.
Insurance: Medical insurance included in this package
Golf: Green fees for 4 (weekdays and non-holidays) rounds of golf per month on one of the nearby courses; more can be arranged through Clearwater concierge and green fees are not included
Work: A part-time consultant job is included in this package but retiree may forgo voluntarily at his/her own discretion. Pay is at local rates – from US$250 to 500 per month and the nature of the job depends on the expertise and physical capabilities.
Visa: Yats will provide legal assistance for retiree to process their Clark retirement visa
Getting around: A 4-seater golf-cart can be purchased for US$5,000
Setting up a business in Clark Philippines
The best way to start your business here in Clark Freeport is to piggy-back on an existing business, a locator – that’s what they call businesses that are “located” in Clark. First, find a business that has excess land to sublease or assign or allow your business to dwell in. Once you do that, the rest is all downhill and nothing will stop you from enjoying all the best that this country can offer.
Getting to know people in Clark Philippines
If you are wondering how you can meet up with friendly businessmen in Clark Freeport, that’s not half as difficult as you might think. There are a few “in” places you can visit and before you know it, you’d be meeting up with local business leaders. This is not a very large community, just 130 or so active businesses. It won’t take very long for you to know all the who’s-who.
First place you want to visit is the town’s fine-dining restaurant where all the businessmen wine and dine. The place is called Yats Restaurant and Wine Bar. Right next to it is the London Pub, an English styled pub, quite cozy, not like the girlie joints out in Angeles. Both are located inside Mimosa Leisure Estate. Clearwater Resort and Country Club is about 5 minutes down the road from Mimosa.

Getting there is quite simple: after entering Clark Freeport from Dau and Angeles City, proceed straight along the main highway MA Roxas, passing the stand-along wine shop called Clark Wine Center on your right, continue to bear right making no turns at all, go past Mimosa Leisure Estate on the opposite side of the road, you will hit a major intersection. Go straight and the road becomes Creekside Road. YATS Clearwater Resort and Country Club is on your right just 200m down.
