MANILA — The continuing investments in the country create more job opportunities and reduce poverty, resulting in inclusive development, Malacanang on Monday said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are focused on providing greater employment to a greater number of people,\u201d Presidential Spokesman Edwin Lacierda said in a Palace press briefing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lacierda said domestic sectors, including manufacturing and tourism, create various economic activities.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said the country has attracted big-ticket investments in manufacturing which will employ more people.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFor instance, when we were in Japan, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe mentioned that they are interested also in the manufacturing companies; auto manufacturing companies coming into the Philippines. So we have always said that good governance is good economics,\u201d Lacierda said.<\/span><\/p>\n

President Benigno S. Aquino III made his one-day working visit to Japan last June 24 to meet with Prime Minister Abe.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSo we have always said that good governance is good economics. Foreign investors, domestic businessmen will see the benefit of having a government… an administration that will provide an even playing field for the business sector,\u201d he noted.<\/span><\/p>\n

Further, Lacierda said the Technical Education Skills Development Authority (TESDA) is teaching a number of people perform tourism-related activities which do not require high-tech learning experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe also have agribusiness, logistics and other productive sectors that can generate higher employment,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lacierda believes that jobs creation can lead to a reduction in poverty.<\/span><\/p>\n

Poverty incidence among Filipinos declined to 24.9 percent in the first semester of 2013 from 27.9 percent during the same period the previous year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to hasten the diminution of poverty by engaging in all these activities that would seek to provide employment for a greater number of people,\u201d he added.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
