MANILA \u2013 Towards the last two years of the Aquino administration, the country\u2019s biggest business organization, wants to get the proposed infrastructure, logistics, power and education measures implemented.<\/p>\n

The said projects are deemed to be critical in making the country\u2019s business landscape more conducive to local and foreign investors.<\/p>\n

Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) Honorary Chair Donald Dee, recently discussed in a briefing that the country\u2019s business community are expecting to see vital projects moving in the last years of President Aquino\u2019s term.<\/p>\n

He also said that they want the government to set a clearer timetable for the implementation of all the government\u2019s critical projects and programs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are the things that are critical. These are the things we want to happen in the next two years. We need the government to implement plans. These will not be finished (by the time President Aquino steps down in 2016) but at least we want to see these projects being implemented, and for sure, investments will start coming in,\u201d Dee said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole idea here is that we want investments to go up. Investors won\u2019t come in unless they are assured that there\u2019s adequate power, that the logistics costs would go down, and that we have skilled labor,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Dee also said that they are expecting the consolidation and submission of the proposals towards the last day of the PCCI\u2019s 40th<\/sup> Philippine Business Conference and Expo, which will be held next month.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to see, for example, in the case of the ports, when the President said that Subic and Batangas are now secondary ports, we should go further than that. We should also say what are the maximum load that we will allow in Subic and Batangas, among others, and have a timetable for that as well,\u201d Dee said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to see these airports. Let\u2019s stop giving out these ideas. Let\u2019s decide: If you want to put it in Clark, let\u2019s put a working plan to put it in Clark. If you want it in Cavite, then lets work on it. Whatever (the decision maybe), we should have a working plan and a time frame,\u201d he further stressed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
