Marcos to SEC: Help promote PH as investment destination
“I appeal to the good people who make up the SEC: let us use all the successes to further facilitate the ease of doing business and actively contribute to our overall goal of providing a comfortable life for our people,” Marcos Jr. said during the Commission’s 85th anniversary celebration.
The President also encouraged the SEC to continue the digitalization of its services and to further strengthen its advocacy for sustainable finance and good corporate governance, in order to help the country become an orderly and proactive investment destination.
The SEC, he continued, can help the Philippines become a country that protects the rights and welfare of investors and consumers for the benefit of both groups.
