The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), through the Board of Investments (BOI), continues to sustain strong investment momentum as Trade Secretary and BOI Chairman Cristina Roque announced the endorsement of 29 investment projects last week. With a combined investment value of Php124.81 billion, the projects are expected to generate 4,444 jobs nationwide, subject to confirmation by the BOI Board.
With these latest endorsements, total BOI-approved investments for the year have now reached Php977 billion, reflecting robust investor confidence and the government’s sustained efforts to position the Philippines as a regional hub for smart and sustainable investments.
The projects span a wide range of priority sectors, including renewable energy, infrastructure, transport and logistics, IT-BPM services, housing, manufacturing, and tourism-related developments, underscoring broad-based economic activity as the year draws to a close.
A significant share of the total investment value is attributed to large-scale clean energy projects, including wind, solar, waste-to-energy, and battery energy storage facilities across Luzon and the Visayas. These projects are expected to contribute substantially to the country’s power supply while advancing national goals on energy security, sustainability, and climate resilience.
The endorsed list also includes key transport and connectivity investments, such as new-generation aircraft for domestic and international routes and maritime transport assets that will strengthen inter-island mobility, trade, and tourism. These investments are expected to enhance regional connectivity and support the continued recovery of the transport and travel sectors.
Meanwhile, IT-BPM and digital services projects across Metro Manila, Central Luzon, the Cordilleras, and Cebu are projected to generate the bulk of employment, creating thousands of high-quality jobs in customer support, technical services, remote staffing, and managed services. These developments reinforce the Philippines’ standing as a leading hub for global services.
Complementing these are housing and real estate projects across multiple regions, which will expand access to affordable and economic housing while generating employment in construction and allied industries. Leisure and recreation facilities included in the list are likewise expected to stimulate local economic activity and support community development.
Secretary Roque underscored that the continued pace of investment endorsements reflects the agency’s commitment to delivering tangible economic outcomes for Filipinos, even as the year comes to a close.
“The steady flow of investments endorsed by the BOI shows that we remain fully engaged in creating jobs and sustaining economic momentum. We are working relentlessly to ensure that investments translate into opportunities for Filipino workers and communities,” Secretary Roque said.
She added that while approvals have already reached Php977 billion, the BOI continues to evaluate several high-ticket projects currently in the pipeline. These major investments are undergoing due diligence and are expected to further boost the country’s overall investment performance as the year ends and into the next.
The DTI–BOI remains unwavering in ensuring that investment commitments translate into real impact such as more jobs, stronger industries, and expanded opportunities for Filipinos. Through sustained reforms and proactive investment facilitation, the agency continues to Make It Happen in the Philippines by driving a steady flow of high-impact and strategic investments.
