Six months after the release of the book “Arangkada Philippines 2010: A Business Perspective”, the Joint Foreign Chambers of the Philippines (JFC) launched the official Arangkada Philippines website on Wednesday, July 20, at the Intercontinental Manila in Makati City.
Arangkada is a JFC-sponsored publication containing 471 recommendations sourced from private sector focus group discussions (FGDs) with special concentration on the “Seven Big Winners” ― industries that, given strong government and private sector support, will lead the economy to increased competitiveness, higher productivity, and faster, more inclusive growth.
Published in December 2010 by the JFC, Arangkada catalogues proposals of foreign and domestic investors and business associations who are developing the Philippine economy and are prepared to invest in the country’s future.
The new website is another milestone for Arangkada, the JFC said.
“We have always said that Arangkada is a living document,” said Henry Schumacher of the European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (ECCP).
“It does not end with the book. This website is an important tool that monitors how those published recommendations are being received and how our partners in government respond. As the JFC is committed to supporting the government in making changes needed for Philippine growth to accelerate, the website also allows for us to assess how we in the private sector can help in making that happen.”
The website provides local and global investors information about progressive change as it happens, as well as a fair and balanced look at the business and investment climate of the Philippines.
“It’s a continuous, virtual FGD between foreign and domestic investors, the JFC and the public sector,” said John Forbes of the American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham), principal author of the Arangkada document. “The information can be updated and the discussion remains relevant.”
Global readers can also access the Arangkada website through www.investphilippines.info.
