MANILA, Philippines – IPINAGMALAKI ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr., na ang Pilipinas ay isang maituturing na “reliable trading partner at sourcing destination.”

Ipinagsigawan ng Pangulo ang “Filipino brand of excellence” na makikita sa Philippine-made products.

Sa kauna-unahang “Tanyag” o International Trade Partners Night sa Shangri-La The Fort sa Taguig City, ipinagmalaki ng Pangulo ang “unique” na produkto at serbisyo ng mga Filipino na karapat-dapat para sa global recognition.

Sinabi pa ng Pangulo na ang event, dinaluhan ng mga business leaders at trade diplomatic partners, ay nagbigay sa kanya ng “renewed sense of hope” na ang bansa ay dapat na “rise above the economic setbacks and emerge stronger than ever.”

Binigyang diin nito na ang salitang “tanyag” ay isang Filipino word na ang ibig sabihin ay “notable, famous, celebrated, and outstanding,” mga salita na sa kanyang paniniwala ay “appropriately describe the essence of Filipino products and services.”

“No matter where [Filipinos] are in the world, our offerings come with a uniqueness that cannot be found elsewhere,” ayon kay Pangulog Marcos sabay sabing “And thus, I know in my heart, that the Philippines is a reliable partner and sourcing destination for various trade sectors such as home, fashion, lifestyle, food, creative, and sustainability.”

Ginarantiya naman ni Pangulong Marcos na ang Pilipinas sa pamamagitan ng ilang inisyatiba sa ilalim ng kasalukuyang administrasyon ay magiging “an ideal player” sa export sector.

Aniya, “the government has carried out various reforms to provide businesses an “enabling environment” and improved the country’s infrastructure and expand domestic capabilities necessary for the development and growth of the export sector.”

“For instance, we are creating high-value and competitive Philippine products and services capable of serving the needs of consumers and producers worldwide,” ani Pangulong Marcos.

“We are also intensifying our trade promotion activities to help open opportunities for small businesses in the global market,” dagdag na wika nito.

Sinabi pa ng Pangulo na ang digital transformation bid ng kanyang administrasyon ay makatutulong na pasiglahin ang economic activities sa bansa, layon kasi nito na gawing “faster and more securely” ang transaksyon.

“Our campaign to attract foreign investments are also aimed at facilitating technology and knowledge transfers to local industry and creating a robust export ecosystem within our country,” ani Pangulong Marcos.

Sinabi pa ni Pangulong Marcos na bibilisan ng Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) na kompletuhin o tapusin ang Philippine Export Development Plan 2023-2028, “to implement a holistic plan that will align the priorities of concerned stakeholders, produce quality export products, and further expand their reach across the globe.”

Kumpiyansa naman ang Pangulo na ang PIlipinas ay magiging “destination of choice” pagdating sa negosyo, tinukoy ang “innovation, excellence, and sustainability meet with Filipino creativity and ingenuity to secure the needs of our time.”

“As we step out of the shadows of the economic setbacks that we have experienced in the past few years, I invite you to see the break of day here in the Philippines,” ayon kay Pangulong Marcos sabay sabing “With your support, I am confident that we will be able to demonstrate the true meaning of ‘tanyag’ and celebrate our collective success in the years to come.” Kris Jose
