Tiangco: paglago ng manufacturing sector, lilikha ng maraming trabaho

NAGPAHAYAG ng kanyang pag-asa si Navotas Rep. Toby Tiangco na ang patuloy na paglago ng manufacturing sector ay lilikha ng maraming trabaho at magpapalakas ng pag-unlad ng ekonomiya sa bansa.

“The Philippine government is fully committed to supporting our manufacturing sector. Under the leadership of President Marcos, we aim to further strengthen manufacturing as a major contributor of economic growth and job generation,” ani kongresista.

Binanggit din niya ang ulat kamakailan ng S&P Global na sinabing tumataas ang Philippine’s Purchasing Managers” Index (PMI) sa 54.3 noong Disyembre na mas higit na mataas kumpara sa mga bansa sa Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

“It is worth noting that the latest reading is the Philippines’ strongest result since November 2017 and the 16th consecutive month that the PMI had settled above the 50-mark,” paliwanag niya.

“More importantly, the Philippines’ PMI remained the fastest among six ASEAN member countries in December, ahead of Thailand (51.4), Indonesia (51.2) and Myanmar (50.4),” dagdag niya.

Inilarawan ni Tiangco ang ulat ng PMI bilang magandang simula para sa 2025 dahil kapag lumagpas ng 50 ang pagtaya ng PMI, nangangahulugan ito ng paglago habang ang mas mababa pa sa 50 nagbabadya ng paurong na pagunlad.

“This is a great way to begin the year. We hope that our robust PMI data will translate into faster GDP growth and increased demand, allowing businesses to expand their workforce and create more jobs for Filipinos,” pahayag ni Tiangco.
