The Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry says as much as $2 billion in potential investments could be finalized next year, following a four-day trade mission to Qatar. According to PCCI president Enunina Mangio, the delegation secured an initial commitment from global conglomerate JTA Investment Holding, which operates across 50 countries and spans sectors including tourism, transport, and construction.
Discussions also drew fresh interest from Qatari businesses seeking to expand investments in manpower and critical infrastructure. PCCI highlighted that the mission forms part of its wider push to position the Philippines as a top tier destination for foreign capital, targeting long term partnerships in fast growing industries.
Expected ventures include a proposed rail transport system in Digos, Davao, to be built in three phases, along with an overhead rail project in Cebu aimed at easing chronic traffic congestion. Together, the initiatives could accelerate regional connectivity and strengthen renewable and transport development nationwide.
