Describing his visit as productive, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. arrived in the Philippines on Sunday after a four-day working trip to Osaka, Japan, where he secured new partnerships and investments aimed at generating jobs, advancing sustainability, and strengthening bilateral cooperation.
“I have just returned from a productive working visit to Osaka, Japan, where we secured new opportunities that will create jobs, bring in investments, and help improve the lives of Filipinos,” President Marcos said in a statement upon his return.
“We return inspired to continue building a Bagong Pilipinas that delivers more jobs, more investments, and more opportunities for every Filipino,” the President added.
President Marcos highlighted the outcomes of his key engagements with Japanese business and government leaders as well as his visit to the crowd favorite Philippine Pavilion at the World Expo 2025.
“At the World Expo 2025, I was proud to see how our Philippine Pavilion highlights the best of who we are. It tells the world the story of a nation rich in culture, driven by innovation, and committed to building a sustainable and inclusive future. This strengthens our standing as a destination for tourism, partnership, and investment,” the President said.
President Marcos emphasized the Philippine Pavilion’s role in enhancing the country’s global standing as a destination for tourism, trade, and investment.
With his commitment to improve the lives of Filipinos, the President said he welcomed key business commitments that will directly benefit the people through job generation and other economic activities.
“Kanadevia Corporation will partner with Phil. Ecology Systems Corp. is on a waste-to-energy project that will help manage waste while generating clean energy. Tsuneishi Group will build the world’s first methanol dual-fueled KAMSARMAX bulk carrier in Cebu, creating jobs and positioning the Philippines as a leader in green shipping,” President Marcos announced.
At the same time, the President said his visit also “strengthened our partnership with Japanese tourism leaders to bring more visitors to the Philippines and open more opportunities for our workers.”
“Our meeting with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency opened new paths for cooperation in space technology to enhance disaster monitoring, support farmers, and strengthen community safety,” President Marcos noted.
Giving importance to Filipinos working in Japan, the President emphasized that “no visit would be complete without spending time with our very own Filipino Community in Osaka.”
President Marcos thanked the Filipino community “for representing us with dignity, professionalism, and compassion that continue to bring pride to our nation.” | PND
