“The Philippines is a great investment area as it leads economic recovery and performance in the Asia-Pacific region, in fact, not only in the region, but also in the world,” expressed President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. in an effort to promote the country as a hub for foreign investments to Japan’s most dominant financial institutions.

In his remarks during a dinner set in Tokyo, President Marcos Jr. underscored the potentials of the Philippines in sectors where businesses and investment can thrive, including manufacturing, electronics, wiring harnesses, agriculture, digital transformation, among other sectors.

“I look forward to new ventures and partnerships in these industrial and service sectors we consider as strategic interests in our bilateral economic relations with Japan,” the President remarked.

Prior to the dinner event, the Chief Executive witnessed the signing of 35 letters of intent and agreements between the Government of the Philippines and various Japanese companies and investors covering a wide range of partnerships aimed at deepening foreign investor confidence.
