Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Ernesto M. Pernia said amendments to the Retail Trade Act, Foreign Investment Act and the Public Utilities Act will encourage more foreign investment in the Philippines. “The critics say it can never be done. The cynics say it is just a dream. We are pleased to announce today’s groundbreaking ceremony of the Metro Manila Subway...” the President’s spokesperson Salvador S. Panelo said.
