PRESIDENT Ferdinand ”Bongbong” Marcos Jr. on March 13 said the amount of strategic investments has reached more than P4.6 trillion as of February.
In his speech during the Gawad Bayanihan sa Pamumuhunan Milestone Event in Malacañang, Marcos said the government has approved nearly 190 strategic investments across various sectors.
”As of last month, we certified nearly 190 — 187 to be exact — strategic investments across key sectors,” Marcos said.
”These include renewable energy, digital infrastructure, food security, and manufacturing — amounting to a total investment value of over P4.6 trillion,” the President added.
Marcos mentioned that his administration aims ”to create a business landscape where both local and foreign investors can thrive.”
”Our journey towards progress will continue to be built on a strong and agile partnership between the government and the private sector,” he said.
”Therefore, it is only fitting that we recognize the members of the Investments Facilitation Network, our national government agencies, and, of course, our LGUs, whose steadfast commitment to this cause has made the Philippines a more attractive investment destination,” he added.
Meanwhile, the President said the Gawad Bayanihan sa Pamumuhunan award is a call to ensure that ”the progress that we have begun will only build momentum in the years ahead.”
He then urged the concerned offices and agencies to align their organizational goals with the national priorities ”so that we can push for even greater economic transformation together.”
”Let us nurture our commitment to investment facilitation. Let us support reforms that will attract even more high-impact and sustainable investments,” Marcos said. (GMA Integrated News)
