THE PHILIPPINES is likely to lose investment opportunities to other Southeast Asian countries if it continues to delay the ratification of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), Trade Secretary Ramon M. Lopez said on Thursday.
“Any delay in ratification means that we run the risk of losing some export markets and
the good opportunities in new investments as they shift to participating countries who are
already part of the RCEP system,” he said in a Viber message to reporters.
