That makes the Philippines one of the best-performing economies in the region,” he said.Panga also noted the country’s recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic, which accelerated during the second half of the Marcos administration, resulting in a 103 percent increase in investments.Peza, which was created in 1995, is the government agency designating areas all over the Philippines as economic zones.Peza has 422 operating economic zones covering manufacturing, agri-industrial, tourism, Information Technology and Business Process Management (IT-BPM), with all of the operating economic zones becoming home to more than 4,300 export-oriented locator companies.Peza is a big contributor to the economy -- almost 17 percent of the country’s GDP -- the Peza official said, noting more than 50 to 60 percent of the country’s total exports of goods and services come from the locators alone.

Online Casinos in the Philippines THE Philippines may experience more tropical storms in the coming months, particularly by the end of the year towards early 2025 due to the expected La Niña phenomenon.In a press conference in Malacañang on Tuesday, March 26, 2024, Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) Climatology and Agrometeorology Division chief Ana Liza Solis said around 13 to 16 tropical cyclones are expected to hit the country within the year, below the normal average of 19 to 20 each year.“During La Niña po ay usually po, medyo mas dumadami ‘yung bilang ng ating bagyo since yun pong pag-init ng temperatura ng karagatan malapit ‘yung pag-init sa atin, so therefore possible ‘yung potential tropical cyclone development na mas malapit na karagatan sa atin,” Solis said.(During La Niña, the number of our storms usually increases a bit since the warming of the ocean temperature is near us, so tropical cyclones might develop near our ocean.)“For now po, by this year, mga around 13 to 16 na bagyo po ang possible po this year. Ibig sabihin, maaaring below normal dahil mararamdaman po kasi natin iyong possible effect ng La Niña is last quarter of the year,” she added.(For now, around 13 to 16 typhoons are possible this year. It may be below normal, because we will feel the possible effect of La Niña in the last quarter of the year.)Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Secretary Renato Solidum Jr. said the prevailing El Niño phenomenon or dry spell may persist until August 2024, while there is a 62 percent chance that La Niña phenomenon will be experienced by June.He noted that the effects of La Niña will not be felt immediately while it is also possible that the onset of the rainy season will be slightly delayed.Solidum said this also gives the country a shorter lead time to prepare for storms.“People should always make sure that they are ready kaya importante ‘yung LGU (local government unit) at family preparedness level,” he said.“Very dynamic ‘yung weather system, that’s why we have to keep on updating everyone,” he added.La Niña is characterized by unusually cooler than average sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific (CEP).Solidum said President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has ordered for the activation of the El Niño Oscillation Online Platform (Enop), a centralized “repository of data” for the understanding, monitoring and addressing of the impacts of El Niño and La Niña phenomena.He said the platform, which can be accessed through https://[email protected], is focused on addressing the five priority sectors in the El Niño and La Niña action program such as food, water, health, public safety and energy.Solidum urged the public to visit the platform to know more about the condition of the different sectors, and the intervention of the government agencies that can help them prepare for the effects of El Niño and La Niña. The portal also provides the public with measures that enable them to contribute to the solutions.“The citizens can also report what they observe on the ground and there’s a citizen survey that can be used – there’s a QR code in the website -- and this can be easily accommodated through a dashboard,” Solidum said.He added that an exclusive dashboard or platform was designed for local government units for a more detailed reporting that can also be used by national agencies for appropriate action and response.

THE Philippine Economic Zone Authority (Peza) has approved a total of P14.951 billion worth of investments in the first quarter of 2024.At a media forum on Saturday, March 16, 2024, Peza Director General Tereso Panga said there was a 19.25 percent increase in the amount of approved investments for the first three months of the year compared to the same period in 2023, which amounted to P12.537 billion.In March alone, approved investments totaled P2.845 billion, marking a 21.8 percent increase compared to March 2023, which stood at P2.343 billionPanga also said that half of these investments resulted from the foreign trips of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.He noted that the foreign trips of the President have attracted more investments, with the latest from Germany and the Czech Republic. He said that based on Peza’s running of figures, it could easily be at 43 percent of its P175.7 billion, or roughly P75 billion.Panga said the country achieved a 25 percent increase in investment rate or P175.7 billion in 2023, from a P140.7 billion base figure in 2022.Panga said all Peza’s current indicators are up for exports and employment, manifesting the Philippines’ upward trajectory for 2024, which is something that is expected for the year and onwards because of its excellent gross domestic product (GDP) performance since 2022.“The Philippines happens to have the highest GDP growth rate in ASEAN since ’22 po – for three years in a row now. That makes the Philippines one of the best-performing economies in the region,” he said.Panga also noted the country’s recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic, which accelerated during the second half of the Marcos administration, resulting in a 103 percent increase in investments.Peza, which was created in 1995, is the government agency designating areas all over the Philippines as economic zones.Peza has 422 operating economic zones covering manufacturing, agri-industrial, tourism, Information Technology and Business Process Management (IT-BPM), with all of the operating economic zones becoming home to more than 4,300 export-oriented locator companies.Peza is a big contributor to the economy -- almost 17 percent of the country’s GDP -- the Peza official said, noting more than 50 to 60 percent of the country’s total exports of goods and services come from the locators alone.

Ibig sabihin, maaaring below normal dahil mararamdaman po kasi natin iyong possible effect ng La Niña is last quarter of the year,” she added.(For now, around 13 to 16 typhoons are possible this year.

The portal also provides the public with measures that enable them to contribute to the solutions.“The citizens can also report what they observe on the ground and there’s a citizen survey that can be used – there’s a QR code in the website -- and this can be easily accommodated through a dashboard,” Solidum said.He added that an exclusive dashboard or platform was designed for local government units for a more detailed reporting that can also be used by national agencies for appropriate action and response.
