Cognizant of the need to boost investment and create more jobs, the government has endorsed 29 investment projects valued at ₱124.81 billion, with the potential to generate 4,444 jobs nationwide, subject to confirmation by the Board of Investments.
With these latest approvals, total investments sanctioned this year have reached ₱977 billion, signaling strong investor confidence and the Philippines’ position as a competitive destination for strategic and sustainable investments.
The projects cover priority sectors including renewable energy, infrastructure, transport and logistics, IT-BPM services, housing, manufacturing, and tourism-related developments, highlighting broad-based economic activity as the year comes to a close.
A significant portion of the total investment value comes from large-scale clean energy initiatives, such as wind, solar, waste-to-energy, and battery energy storage facilities in Luzon and the Visayas. These projects are expected to strengthen the country’s power supply while supporting national objectives on energy security, sustainability, and climate resilience.
Key transport and connectivity investments include next-generation aircraft for domestic and international routes, as well as maritime transport assets to improve inter-island mobility. These projects aim to enhance trade, tourism, and regional connectivity.
Meanwhile, IT-BPM and digital services projects in Metro Manila, Central Luzon, the Cordilleras, and Cebu are projected to generate the bulk of employment, creating thousands of high-quality jobs in customer support, technical services, remote staffing, and managed services, further reinforcing the Philippines’ reputation as a global services hub.
Complementing these are housing and real estate developments, which expand access to economic and affordable housing while generating jobs in construction and allied industries. Leisure and recreation projects included in the endorsements are also expected to stimulate local economies and support community development.
Trade Secretary Cristina Roque said the sustained pace of investment endorsements reflects the government’s focus on translating approvals into tangible economic outcomes.
“The steady flow of endorsed investments shows that we remain fully engaged in creating jobs and sustaining economic momentum. Our priority is ensuring that these investments generate real opportunities for Filipino workers and communities,” Roque said.
She added that while approvals have reached ₱977 billion, several high-value projects remain in the pipeline and are undergoing evaluation, which are expected to further boost overall investment performance as the year ends and into the next.
The government reiterated its commitment to ensuring that investment pledges translate into job creation, stronger industries, and long-term economic impact for Filipinos.
