Dr. Tabunda, magandang gabi po. Si Peter at Rika.
00:06.6
Hi, Doctor. Thank you for joining us once again.
00:11.2
It's good to have you, ma'am.
00:13.3
Majority of Filipinos see red tape, restrictive rules as top barriers to foreign investments according to the Pulse Asia survey.
00:23.4
Okay. Ano po ang ibig sabihin nito vis-a-vis yung nangyayaring People's Initiative and CHA-CHA? Are they congruent?
00:36.4
Well, maraming approbations sa Constitution or supportahan ng ating mga tao.
00:48.2
So, this is a different topic.
00:53.4
Ano yung factor that meant in the Philippines?
00:59.7
So, in other words, I guess ang tanong po ng marami will be as a result of the...
01:08.6
Dahil sa resulta nitong Pulse Asia survey na ito, tama po ba na i-pursue yung CHA-CHA na inupisahan na sa lower house at saka sa Senado?
01:21.8
Or this is a completely...
01:23.4
A completely different animal, in a manner of speaking.
01:30.4
Ma'am, nawawala po kayo.
01:33.9
Yung resistance ng ating mga tao, it's about the other amendment sa Constitution.
01:41.7
Ito, sinasabi lang nila, what could be hindering foreign investment in the country.
01:50.4
Ma'am, kasi it also...
01:51.8
It also brings to mind, yun pong Maharlika Investment Fund, no?
01:56.7
Baka mamaya, eh, may connect ito dito.
01:59.5
I just wanted to know, ma'am, why was this survey done?
02:04.4
Meron po bang pinaghugutan?
02:05.9
Bakit ito kainailangan gawin?
02:08.7
We just wanted to know, ano yung opinion ng ating mga tao.
02:16.8
At malaki po kasi, no, andami po dun sa mga resulta ng survey ninyo.
02:21.8
Ang nagsasabi, more than half are saying na napakaraming hirap na pinagdadaanan ng mga investors dito sa bansa natin.
02:30.5
So, pwede po ba nating sabihin na yung ease of doing business na ginagawa ng gobyerno natin is not really easy at all?
02:37.8
Mukhang hindi easy for the foreign investors.
02:42.9
Kasi marami yung restrictive rules tayo on foreign ownership, eh, na nasa Constitution.
02:51.8
Ma'am, yung pong, ano, yung pong survey na ito, was it commissioned?
02:58.3
No, this is our question.
03:02.6
The other reasons na nakita ng mga respondents are 46% corruption in the public sector, 40% lack of transportation infrastructure, 37% high electricity costs.
03:21.8
So, in other words, mukhang tama po yung mga survey nung 2022 in particular, saying na mga, ang, ang bulk, no, pinakamaraming foreign direct investments napunta sa Singapore and the Philippines is only, I think, 6th or 7th among ASEAN countries.
03:43.4
So, may kinalaman din ito talaga kung bakit hindi tayo attractive sa mga foreign investors.
03:53.1
Dahil na dito sa mga na-encounter nilang problems sa corruption, sa infrastructure, sa electricity cost.
04:03.3
Eh, lagi namang tuwing may bagong presidente, di po pa, pinapangako nila lagi yung ano.
04:10.2
Bababa ang bayan.
04:11.6
Pero, pero ngayon, hindi lang mataas.
04:13.4
Tatanggay ang corruption.
04:13.9
Hindi lang mataas ang, ano, ang presyo ng kuryente.
04:19.7
So, in the meantime, yung pong...
04:21.8
Sa Pulse Asia, ano pa po ang pwede nating maging take away dito po sa inyong survey?
04:33.5
What do they think will be the outcome of the restriction against foreign...
04:41.7
At the very least, I guess, ang sinasabi ng Pulse Asia survey sa Houston, we have a lot of problems.
04:51.8
Maraming salamat.
04:52.8
Director, thank you.
04:54.2
Dr. Ana, thank you so much for your time and insights.
