PHILIPPINE President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. secured around P260 billion in investment pledges from top Japanese companies during meetings in Tokyo, as Manila seeks to attract supply-chain relocation and shield the economy from geopolitical tensions and rising energy risks.
“The Philippines is pursuing a clear national direction: building an economy where infrastructure, industry, finance, human capital and connectivity move together as one system of growth,” Mr. Marcos told executives from Japanese conglomerates and financial institutions on Wednesday.
