What's Driving The Philippines Investments To Grow? 

There are numerous drivers in the Philippines investment landscape, from its mining industry to manufacturing and as this video says economic zones. Where do you think investments is booming? Let us know down below!

The Philippines location in SEA made it more susceptible in economic growth. With alot of resources and professionals/trained labor force, the Philippines will keep on growing economically. In addition to that, Filipinos are literate and open enough to be open to foreign investments, digital investments and the such.

Philippines has lot of potentials to improve and be a great country.

Indonesia supports Philippines Mabuhay 🇮🇩❤🇵🇭

Sana’y sabay sa pag unlad ay ang pangangalaga sa kultura,kagawian at wika, wag idisenyo ang pilipinas para sa mga dayuhan bagkus para sa future filipinos, ayoko dumating ang araw na 2nd class citizen nalang tayo dahil sa patuloy na pag aadjust ng gobyerno at mamamayan sa mga dayuhan :(

As an economics student, I say that our country is growing. Keep it up let's make our economy and country great again. Mabuhay 🇵🇭

ASEAN Countries Future will be very bright ✌

Obviously, the Philippines has much potential in foreign investments when in comes to Business Process Outsourcing industry were other sectors(like manufacturing,logistics,tourism etc.)seems having a stiff competition with other countries. The Philippines greatest edge is in BPO sector👍🖒🇵🇭

The Philippines' strategic location, English speaking well educated young population. Techie savvy. These, and more are the reasons why the Philippines will be the investment capital in SEA.

Philippines to soon get high-speed satellite internet from starlink as first country in SEA for Elon Musk's SpaceX.

Wish You all the best Philippines from India 🇮🇳

The Philippines has a Potential to Rival the Economies of Developed 4 Asia Tigers and Japan, Becoming a Silicon Valley Country Because of Tech Savvy Filipinos, Outsourcing, and AI Industry, Making it a Financial Center of the World with the City of Manila and Make it a First World, Developed, and OECD Member Country by 2050, To Do This, We Need the Next President that Has Lots of Action, and the Potential to Transform the Philippines

MAKE THE PHILIPPINES GREAT AGAIN 🧡💖

Philippines can be great again and can be a super power country once again soon. ❤

Dream, dream, dream. Dreams transform into thoughts and thoughts result in action

Technology savy, young, hardworking Filipinos could bring our country forward. Maybe our education should be geared towards this direction.

Its high time that the Philippines will gain more share in the influx of Foreign Investments. The good thing about the new investments coming in is that its tech based and has more focus on digital economy and electric vehicle. The Philippines needs a good Research and Development sector to create new technology and with the advent of tech based investment it will reshape our economy into more technology focused and digital driven.

I think Philippinies will be the next regional power in South East Asia

I have never heard of this Quezon economic zone. Thanks for updating us. Hope it is successful

We are not even at par with Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia in terms of investments. To attract more partnerships, we have to build more power and water.

Lopez: PHILIPPINES as first country in SEA for Elon Musk’s SpaceX SpaceX is a relatively young but fast-growing technology and aerospace company owned by the highly celebrated entrepreneur Elon Musk. The company is currently establishing a local Filipino entity that will be their wholly-owned subsidiary and is targeting to deploy three gateways in the first phase of their launch. The Philippines is set to be the first in Southeast Asia to avail of such technology that will bring high-speed satellite broadband connectivity to customers, particularly to areas where connectivity has been difficult or impossible.♦

PH has alot potential not only in Resources but also in Human Capital. We just need a Leader that will Harness this Potential Billion Dollar Industry such as Agriculture which is we have a lot of Free Space farming land but farmers isn't prioritized by the government and poor quality of products that other countries with small spaces of farming land was dominating the Global Market that PH is supposed to be leading 😩 Hoping good for my country this coming election which is May 9

Nickel.,this is why the Philippines is very important to other country.,most electronic company they use nickle.,

This is expected because the Philippines has a huge potential and definitely one of the richest countries in Southeast Asia. The Philippines also has one of the Most Dynamic Economies in the Asia-Pacific Region and one of the fastest growing economies in the world. (According to Forbes/became the 10th Fastest Growing Economy in the World).

Abundance of economic information. Thanks for sharing this information 👍🇵🇭

WITH THE INEVITABLE COMEBACK OF A MARCOS PRESIDENCY..EXPECT MORE OF THE SURGE OF INVESTMENTS BECAUSE EVERYBODY KNOWS THE CAPABILITY OF A MARCOS..THE BEST

Philippine People now are different than the year of 1985-1991....

Keep it up 🇵🇭🤝🇮🇳

Opening FDI and federalism would make the Philippines greater.

🇵🇭 *Go go go, Rise Philippines* 🇵🇭

For travelers arriving on April 1, 2022 and onward, the mandatory pre-departure RT PCR COVID Test will no longer be required to travel to Thailand.

Philippines rising again soon

More eco zone outside metro manila

I hope all islands will have manufacturing zone based on the resources they have in the islands, improve skills of locals within, provide financial support and education and more govt support system and better accessibility.

If you salute your duty, you no need to salute anybody, but if you pollute your duty, you have to salute everybody

We have our own unique economy and inflation rate.

$90B of foreign direct investments (FDI) from '96 - '21 is actually very very small because it averages out to only $3.6B per year. When you compare this amount to our ASEAN neighbors, we rank at or near the bottom. The way to significantly increase the FDI is to reduce the corporate tax and make it competitive with our neighbors, offer incentives and of course the foreign ownership which was amended to 100% in some sectors. This needs to be applied in other sectors as well where competition is lacking especially the telecom sector. We need to focus on increasing our manufacturing sector that's solely for export. With more Western companies exiting China, we should try to lure them to move their manufacturing plants to the Philippines. As of this year, our GDP is $450B. We really have the potential to reach the $1 trillion mark and greatly improve the lives of the majority of the Filipino people. Infrastructure needs to constantly be improved and built. The energy sector is badly needed because we can't grow if the demand continuously exceeds the supply. Education needs to be revamped. We need more students to study science, engineering and business. Also, the population needs to be better managed. Our country is similar to Italy in size and yet our population (110 milion) is nearly twice as Italy's (59 million). We can't support an out-of-control population growth. As well, we can greatly reduce poverty rate if the people living in poverty are given access to birth control. They must be educated about family planning. In my humble opinion, families living in poverty should only have 1 child. They need to improve their financial standing, get out of poverty, before considering having their 2nd child. Obviously there are other things that needs attention to help drive the growth but the most important thing to tackle is the nagging corruption which continues to plague our country. According to CPI (Corruption Perceptions Index 2022), our country ranks 117 out of 180 countries. When compared to some of our Asian counterparts, we have Singapore (4), Japan (18), Taiwan (25), S. Korea (32), Brunei (35), Malaysia (62), East Timor (82), India (85), Vietnam (87), Indonesia (96), and Thailand (110), Laos (128), Myanmar (140), and Cambodia (157). So we rank near the bottom. This is terrible!! Corrupt families/officials/politicians continue to enrich themselves while 20% -25% of the people continue to live in poverty. This is outrageous!!

I once knew a young american guy who told me the Philippines is advanced, he knew I think he said he worked in tech company something like that.

Phillipines has huge motivation to grow to one of the greatest economic powers of the entire world... indigenous Phillipines military development... Phillipines ought to work with Brazil and India to unify the tropical uv World!!

Dream high build high

Wow good job Philippines

Bravo philippines...

they just need to push more infrastructure especially the electricity and energy.

only 90billion thats only a little money compare to loss and stress due to traffick congestion

In past decades, they kept coming in. I hope investments continue to come in, not go out😭

Remove the 60/40 restriction!

It should be mandatory to build smart... meaning no airco but natural cooling of building/houses. As AC takes to much energy.

Philippines is heading towards a First World Country🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

SpaceX satellite internet will be here soon to max internet service and play ml with no lagging it is first in southeast Asia

Next project should be increasing the entire power grid…. Build nuclear and natural gas powered plants.

Seems work has mostly stopped on NSCR. As for the Philippines investments and economy, better ask the owner, china

Now Elon Musk Space X to launch Starlink in the Philippines it's now on finalising stage.

I think " The TARLINK " of Mr. Elon Musk could be the biggest Foreign Company launches its business in the Philippines of this 20th century. The 1st one of a kind Communication Technology in Asia and even in the world when it done sooner.

Cheap labour is good for investment

tweet: unequivocally speaking, kae-la-ngan na ng ating mga elected leaders mag approve ng investments sa bansa. babalik at babalik din naman ang nagamit na budget sa bansa account, but patience is what's needed. Medyo matagal mabawi lahat ng gastos, May vehicle manufacturing na ba ang bansa ngayon? God bless. apr2022.

Wow foreign investments to the Philippines from 1996 to 2021 is at 90 billion dollars while Singapore received 120 billion dollars in just a year 😁

Philippines is first in south east Asian to get starlink internet with high speed internet

In short hindi kase nakaka “Depressed” sa Bansang Sinilangan🇵🇭 Namin

The Land of Ophir 🤫

The Philippine investments are growing because investors could trust our President Duterte and the new President Bbm Marcos.

Let's vote for the UNITEAM to make our Philippines great again. 🇵🇭✌️

Kalaban sa pag-unlad ng PH ay ang kultura ng pamilyang pilipino (mahirap at mayaman). Tapon dito tapon duon, kawalan ng disiplina sa pagtawid, pagmamaneho. Anak nang anak kahit hindi kayang suportahan. Ito ay kurapsyon sa luob ng pamilyang pilipino na nakikita at namamana ng mga anak at makakalakihan. Hanggang ang mga anak ay maluklok sa posisyon ng kapangyarihan. Ang pamilyang pilipino ang lumilikha ng patuloy na kurapsyon sa gobyerno. Kailangan patayin ang kurap ng kulturang pilipino para mapuksa ang kurapsyon sa gobyerno. haaaay, madali pong sisihin ang mga kurap sa gobyerno, pero saan po kaya nila natutunan ang kurapsyon? Nagsisimula po lahat sa pagpapalaki ng mga magulang, mahirap man o me kaya sa buhay. TAYO po ang nagtuturo ng kurapsyon sa ating mga anak. Baguhin po natin ang pamumuhay natin. Pakita po natin na me disiplina tayo sa pagsunod sa batas, sa pagtapon ng basura, sa pagtawid, etc.

bakit si lenlen nakafront? wala na ba iba....lol

Philippines will be big and stronger if bbm will win in presidental race!

Investors are attracted to Good Government. And leave when the president is corrupt.

this is all because of the brilliant leadership of our great president PRRD

TOLD Y'ALL THIS GONNA BOOST OUR ECONOMY IF 60/40 RULE WAS REMOVED I'M GLAD THEY REMOVED THAT PROBLEM NOW PEOPLE WOULD BE DISCOURAGED TO WORK OUTSIDE OF OUR COUNTRY WHICH IS KIND OF A PROBLEM IN MANPOWER BUT IT'S QUITE A GOOD INCOME FOR REMITTANCES

President Duterte is the best president.

We've been optimistic about the rise of investments in our country but we aren't ready yet in terms of sufficient source of power. We don't even have a single neclear power plant in operation to brag about. I hope our new govt will make a stride to make this possible.

very hard to make a profit tho 😂

SALAMAT DU30 ADMIN

China !

Be careful not to give Foreign investors too much power to our country😩 more money. More problems if debt is not settled

I hope the next president will continue what duterte's regime has done.

Hopefully we will elect the right president. a smart forward looking candidate like Isko. Moreno will bring unprecedented prosperity

Wait for the exodus of foreign companies in 2 to 3 years. Bye bye jobs.

Vietnam parin! Lahat gsto mginvest mga foreign investors.

Electric Vehicles/motorcycles is a WASTE OF MONEY💰

Kaya wag natin iboto si BBM hindi sya pabor sa 100% Foreign OwnerShip ni Pangulong Duterte.. Ang mga sumang ayon lang ay si Isko at Leni...👍

Pinoy baiting.

To have a great economy!!! we need an economist a lawyer and its Vice President Leni Robredo #LetLeniLeadthePH
