THE Philippine delegation led by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has secured $1.53 billion, or P86 billion worth of investment, from 12 business deals inked during the Philippine Business Forum held on the sidelines of the Asean-Australia Special Summit in Melbourne, Australia.In his speech during the forum on Monday, March 4, 2024, Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Secretary Alfredo Pascual said the deals are expected to drive the investment relationships between the Philippines and Australia, and contribute to Philippine economic growth.“These agreements signify our unwavering commitment to excellence and fruitful partnerships spanning diverse sectors such as renewable energy, waste-to-energy technology, organic recycling technology, countryside housing initiatives, the establishment of data center, manufacturing of health technology solutions, and digital health services,” he said.The 12 deals are composed of 10 memoranda of understanding (MOUs) and two letters of intent.The two letters of intent covers the Biomass Fueled (Thorium Pellets) Simple-high-Temperature Gas-cooled Power Plant (STGR20 V) with a 40MW base load power to deliver a safe, sustainable, affordable, CO2 neutral, green base-load energy in the Philippines, as well as for the development of digital health services with a particular focus on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to improve healthcare availability in the Philippines with a particular focus on tuberculosis and other respiratory illness, which is an expansion of the company’s current operations in the Philippines providing telemedicine services to millions of Filipinos.The MOUs cover the development, design, construction, commissioning and funding of a Tier-3 Data Center with a capacity of 30MW-40MW in the Poro Point Freeport Zone, with a land area of approximately 16 hectares; Expansion of Next-Generation Battery Manufacturing in the Philippines; deployment of decarbonization solutions comprising orchestration of renewable energy, storage, and e-mobility to New Clark City Stadium and other Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) sites to reduce energy costs, reliance on grid power, improve sustainability and achieve progress on decarbonization journey.An MOU for a collaborative partnership on the Development of an Electric Transportation Framework throughout the properties associated with BCDA in the Philippines was also signed along with the Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino (4PH)/Countryside Housing Initiatives (CHI) through the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD).Other MOUs cover the establishment of collection centers and a recycling facility for plastic waste in the Philippines using innovative organic recycling, synthesis of biomass and carbon utilization and material synthesis technologies from an Australian university, and exports/distribution of the resulting transparent sustainable material for Australian food and beverage companies, as well as for the manufacturing of portable, affordable, and accessible Automated External Defibrillator (AED) solutions and Distribution of portable, affordable, and accessible Automated External Defibrillator (AED) solutions.A partnership between the National Development Company (NDC), the Philippine’s leading state-owned enterprise investing in diverse industries, and an Australian company was also formed for the transfer of its waste-to-energy technology to the Philippines that converts biowaste to green fuel.The NDC looks forward to establishing a globally recognized institute in the Philippines that would be called Southeast Asia Biosecurity Institute (SABI), focused on developing more biosecurity robust supply chains across Southeast Asia that will deliver significant economic, environmental and social benefits for the region.Marcos urged more Australian businessmen to consider investing in the Philippines as he touted the country as an ideal destination for complementation in both manufacturing and services.He also highlighted the country’s steadfast commitment to purposeful reforms, which is evident in key legislative amendments, such as the Public Service Act, Foreign Investments Act, Retail Trade Liberalization Act and the Renewable Energy Act.Macos also noted the Philippine government’s initiatives in streamlining business registration, infrastructure development, and the Comprehensive Tax Reform Program (Create Act), and the overhaul of fiscal incentive structures and responsive policies, including those facilitating public-private partnerships (PPP).He also discussed the newly established Maharlika Investment Fund, the country’s sovereign wealth fund “that underscores dedication to financing priority projects and driving socioeconomic impact.”“We prioritize the ease of doing business, exemplified by efforts to simplify tax payments, streamline regulations, and showcase our unwavering support for businesses,” said Marcos.Marcos expressed gratitude to Australian businessmen who opened their doors for the Philippines.“I invite esteemed Australian businesses to consider the Philippines as a reliable partner that can support your expansion and operations. Let us embark on a journey of strengthened economic ties, mutual growth, and shared success,” he said.“I am hopeful that this will be complemented by other policy tools that will enhance Philippines-Australia supply chain partnerships and facilitate greater foreign direct investments. So in conclusion, let me reiterate our gratitude for your presence and active engagement in this forum. The members of my economic team will provide the support needed by your businesses for investments to continuously grow and prosper.

It was shown there that those really lacking are the fourth to sixth class municipalities," she said in Filipino, referring to the study by the World Bank released in 2023 on the implementation of the UN's SDG.Abalos said municipalities that belong to the fourth to sixth income class are eligible for a targeted initiative aimed at enhancing their water and sanitation infrastructure."They should have a well-managed LGU utility, and of course they are project-ready. Third, they should be validated by a civil society," he said.Abalos said that across the country there are a total of 75 towns identified for the project implementation of SAFPB, of which seven of them are from Central Visayas.The secretary said that aside from Tudela in Cebu, included are the towns of Albuquerque, Bien Unido, Dagohoy and San Miguel in Bohol; Zamboanguita in Negros Oriental and Larena in Siquijor.SunStar Cebu tried to obtain the full list of the 75 towns identified for SAFPB implementation from DILG 7. However, a representative said they cannot provide the details at that time.In his presentation, Abalos said 455 municipalities in the country lack access to water. As of 2023, 340 of these municipalities have successfully addressed their water scarcity issues, leaving 115 still grappling with this challenge.He said that 88 out of these 115 LGUs are located in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. Abalos did not disclose the names of these LGUs.Funding guidelinesTo ensure effective fund utilization, Pangandaman said there is a stringent process to follow for fund release and project management has been outlined.Beneficiary towns are required to submit a notarized omnibus sworn statement endorsing the necessary documents to the DILG by April 30, 2024.Upon verification by DILG regional offices, the endorsed documents will be forwarded to the DILG Central Office for review and recommendation to the DBM for fund release.Upon receipt of the allocated funds, they are mandated to record the SAFPB fund as a trust fund and notify DILG of the fund transfer within 30 calendar days.Between March and April of this year, various government agencies will collaborate to gather all the requirements and documents for the program.The funds are planned to be released to the 75 LGUs in May, and the procurement process is scheduled to take place between June and July.The projects should be implemented no later than December 31, 2025.The budget secretary said any unutilized or undisbursed funds are required to be reverted to the Bureau of Treasury, and the DILG must be notified of any funds reversion.Pangandaman said the program imposes strict prohibitions on fund utilization, prohibiting diversion for purposes other than the designated projects, funding projects already covered by other sources, and expenditures on specified items such as personal services, administrative expenses, travel, and procurement of non-project-related assets.Abalos said that project implementation must adhere to approved designs, plans, and specifications in compliance with relevant laws, circulars, and regulations governing procurement, budgeting, accounting, and auditing.SunStar Cebu tried to contact Tudela Mayor Greman Solante for an interview on Thursday to discuss their implementation of the SAFPB assistance but to no avail.
