    Pasalubong ni PNoy mula Amerika; $2.5B investments!

    Aquino arrives home with $2.5-B investments

    MANILA, Philippines - President Benigno Aquino III has arrived home from his seven-day trip, armed with at least $2.5 billion worth of investments from the United Kingdom and the United States.

    In London, Aquino met with various companies such as Glencore and Royal Dutch Shell, which are ready to invest in the country.

    He said at least $1.5 billion in investments are expected to flow into our economy.

    Over in the US, the president also met with businessmen who have pledged at least P1 billion dollars in investments.


    "Sa kabuuan po, ang halaga ng kalakal na papasok mula sa mga kumpanyang nakapulong natin, sa Britanya at sa Amerika: Hindi bababa sa dalawa't kalahating bilyong dolyar, o humigit-kumulang 100 billion pesos. Trabaho po ang katumbas ng mga numerong ito; trabahong magdadala ng pagkain sa mesa ng Pilipino."

    Aquino also announced the Philippines would no longer need to pay its $23 million in debts to the US.

    “Benepisyaryo rin po tayo ng isang debt for nature swap; hindi na raw po natin kailangang bayaran ang 23 million dollars na utang, basta't mapupunta sa pagtatanim ng mga bagong puno ang perang ito,” he said.

    He also added that the US has affirmed the importance of the Philippines as its ally and vowed to continue helping the country beef up its maritime capabilities.

    "Ipinahayag po ni Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ang suporta nilang ibibigay sa pagtatayo ng ating Coast Watch, na malayo ang mararating upang mabantayan ang ating mga baybayin. Inanunsyo rin ni Secretary Clinton na magkakaroon ng dagdag na Peace Corps volunteers na idedestino sa ating bansa."

    Aquino also said the Philippines will receive $30 million under the “Partnership for Growth” program, which supports projects to address poverty. - ANC

    USD 2.5 billion LANG?



    that amount is equivalent to a SINGLE investment by businesses in neighboring countries such as Thailand and Vietnam. yung USD 2.5 billion, pooled amount na for a number of investments dito. see the difference?

    If at all. pledges lang marami dyan.

    All Presidents coming back from official/state visits abroad always banner news of coming investments. If they had all been true, eh di nagsisisikan na kabila't kanan ang mga foreign investors dito.

    maganda rin naman itong pang SONA.. nakakalap po tayo ng 2.5 bilyong dolyar na investment mula sa ating pagbisita sa UK at USA..

    ang tanong lang.. ano na mangyayari sa record-high poverty + hunger + unemployment rates?

    kahit pa siguro magpaikot-ikot na lang tayo sa moa, ayala, the fort at ortigas, hindi pa rin maipagkakaila ang sobrang kahirapan sa pinas. sa mga thoroughfares pa lang, makakasalubong ka na ng mga pulubing kumakatok sa sasakyan. mapapahiya ka kung may bisita kang foreigner.

    Kaya nga eh. Nanggaling pa sa ABS-CBN ang balita na kaalyado ng mga Aquino sa politics and business. Hindi sa ayaw kong maniwala or masyado akong negative pero gusto kong makita ng mga mata ko at maramdaman ng puso ko ang resulta ng balitang 'yan.

    Ang dami kong tawa sa expected. Pinipigilan kong tumawa pero hindi ko kaya.

    Frustrated by China's market barriers, European companies might shift future investment to other economies and countries, a business group said Tuesday, in an unusually pointed warning about a possible backlash over Beijing's trade policies.

    Beijing faces a flurry of complaints by the European Union, the United States and other nations that it is violating its trade commitments by protecting or subsidizing its companies in industries from steel to solar power. With a weak global economy threatening to push up unemployment, Washington and other governments face political pressure to respond.

    Half of some 557 European companies that responded to a survey say regulatory barriers have limited their business opportunities and hurt profits, according to the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China. One in five companies said that might prompt them to shift future investment to other economies.

    "Companies feel as if they missed business opportunities, and if this continues, they might consider to shift their business operations outside of China," the group's president, Davide Cucino, said at a news conference.

    Cucino said that if he were a Chinese official, "I would think this sounds alarming."

    He appealed to Chinese authorities to give foreign companies access to banking, insurance and a wide array of other "strategic industries" that are dominated by state enterprises.

    Foreign business groups have complained for years that Beijing improperly favors Chinese enterprises but global companies have continued to invest and are reluctant to talk publicly about their frustrations for fear of angering communist authorities. Thursday's report was unusually explicit in saying companies' frustration has grown so severe that they might scale back investment plans.

    The potential threat to investment could be a setback to Chinese government efforts to reverse a sharp economic downturn. The Cabinet said last week it wants more private sector spending but gave no indication whether foreign companies would be eligible for tax cuts and other proposed incentives.

    Tensions over Beijing's industrial policies have led to a volley of trade complaints.

    The U.S. Commerce Department concluded this month that Chinese manufacturers were selling solar power equipment below fair value and proposed imposing a 31 percent tariff. Beijing fired back with a ruling by its Commerce Ministry that Washington's support for six renewable energy projects in the United States violated free-trade commitments.

    On Friday, Beijing filed a case with the World Trade Organization in Geneva challenging U.S. anti-dumping and other measures against 22 types of Chinese goods.

    As for Europe, the EU is preparing to launch a trade case against Beijing after concluding Chinese telecoms equipment producers receive improper subsidies, the Financial Times newspaper reported last week.

    Chinese leaders including Premier Wen Jiabao, the top economic official, have publicly assured foreign companies they are welcome in China and have changed some rules that favored local competitors. But in many areas, foreign companies complain they are blocked by Beijing's efforts to nurture Chinese industry.

    A March report by the American Chamber of Commerce cited problems including restrictions on investment in some areas and pressure for foreign companies to hand over technology to Chinese partners.
