IAEA Pledges Technical Guidance For The Philippines

June 21, 2026June 16, 2026carlocarrasco

The effort of the Philippines to lay the foundation for the intended integration of nuclear power into the national grid got a boost from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) which pledged technical guidance to the government, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin news report. Some parts in boldface…

As the Philippines actively lays the foundation for the integration of nuclear power into its national grid, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has pledged technical guidance to support the government once it opens dedicated green energy auctions (GEAs) for the technology.

IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi told Manila Bulletin last Monday, June 8, that the Vienna-headquartered agency is ready to assist in the Philippines’ nuclear auction process, provided that the legal and regulatory groundwork for the country’s nuclear framework is clearly established and moving forward.

Citing his visit to Manila in November last year, Grossi noted that advisory support on the auction framework was among the topics discussed during his meeting with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. regarding bilateral nuclear cooperation.

“We have also discussed the possibility of providing advice in terms of the bidding process. So there’s a range of things where the IAEA will be able to contribute,” the IAEA chief said.

The Department of Energy (DOE), through its Nuclear Energy Program Inter-Agency Committee (NEP-IAC), said last year that it is studying an auction mechanism specific to nuclear energy, which would be treated similarly to the government’s existing GEA Program (GEAP). Patrick Aquino, technical secretariat head of NEP-IAC, previously said that overcoming legal challenges would allow the government to begin consultations on a nuclear auction.

Last November, the IAEA signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Manila-based multilateral lender Asian Development Bank (ADB) to establish a framework supporting nuclear energy development in the Philippines, including the potential deployment of small modular reactors (SMRs).

The agreement includes knowledge-sharing and technical capacity-building initiatives, energy planning, nuclear fuel cycle management, radioactive waste management, and assistance throughout the life cycle of nuclear facilities.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Do you think the government of the Philippines will be able to establish the foundation of integrating nuclear power into the national grid before the term of President Marcos ends in mid-2028? Do you think the IAEA’s pledge of support will accelerate the nuclear-related developments in the country?

America Is Currently Top Market Of Foreign Visitors For The Philippines

June 20, 2026June 19, 2026carlocarrasco

It is not a secret that the Philippines has been having trouble attracting visitors from overseas. There was a tourism boom in Southeast Asia in 2025 and the Philippines fell way behind its neighbors (note: Vietnam attracted over 21 million visitors while Indonesia attracted over 15 million). When it comes to foreign tourists counted in 2025, the Philippines attracted 8,375 less compared to 2024.

In fairness, domestic tourism here in the Philippines is thriving as Filipinos and their families do have a strong appetite for local travel and holidays. On the aspect of foreign tourism with statistics counted as of June 16 this year, the United States has emerged as the top market for the country, according to a news article by the Philippine News Agency (PNA).

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the PNA news article. Some parts in boldface…

The Philippines has welcomed 2.9 million foreign visitors from January 1 to June 16, 2026, led by those from the United States, the Department of Tourism (DOT) said.

Preliminary figures released Thursday showed tourists from the U.S. reached 591,569 out of the country’s total inbound arrival of 2,955,014 during the period.

The DOT has yet to provide the full breakdown of top visitor arrivals, but said the U.S. “has now become our number one source market,” and it expects the figures to further grow.

At the general membership meeting of the American Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (AmCham) on June 17, Tourism Secretary Dita Angara-Mathay said the DOT will intensify its push for more tourism and investment partnerships with the U.S.

“We no longer see tourism simply as promotion. We see it as a platform for long-term investment,” she said, citing as example the USD3.4 billion in investments, pipeline opportunities, and financial support the Philippines secured during President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s recent state visit to Japan.

“This is the direction we are pursuing — tourism as a connector sector that brings together aviation, infrastructure, healthcare, and regional development.”

The DOT, she said, will also work closely with relevant government agencies to improve and expand air connectivity across the country.

“To make this more systematic, we will convene regular airline and airport connectivity discussions with carriers, airports, stakeholders, and government agencies. The goal is simple: solve bottlenecks together and turn plans into actual flights,” she added.

At the same time, Angara-Mathay said DOT would sustain efforts to develop the Philippines’ high-value tourism segments such as meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions (MICE), gastronomy, wellness, education, and retirement tourism.

“Once people can get here more easily, the next question is what kind of experience we offer them. And that brings me to high-value tourism. Our goal is not simply to bring in more visitors, but to make every visit more meaningful, longer stays, higher spending, and deeper engagement with our destinations and communities,” she said.

To put things in perspective, 2,955,014 foreign visitors attracted in the first 167 days of 2026 is equivalent to an average of 17,694.69 per day. At that rate, the Philippines could attract more than 6.4 million this year and exceed the 2025 count. However, the DOT did not specify if the current count excludes Filipinos with foreign citizenship (or dual citizenship) based overseas.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Were you surprised that the United States overtook South Korea as the top market of foreign visitors to the Philippines? Under the new leadership of the DOT, do you feel confident that improvements on attracting foreign visitors will happen this year? What do you think the Philippines has when it comes to attracting American tourists?

World Bank Sees Below-Target Philippine Economic Growth In 2028

June 18, 2026June 15, 2026carlocarrasco

In its latest analysis of the economy of the Philippines, the World Bank (WB) predicts a below-target economic growth will happen in 2028, according to a news report by BusinessWorld.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the BusinessWorld news report. Some parts in boldface…

THE WORLD BANK said the Philippine economy is likely to expand by 5.6% in 2028, still below the government’s 6-7% target, amid an expected recovery in public investment.

In the latest Global Economic Prospects report, the World Bank said it retained its gross domestic product (GDP) growth forecasts for the Philippines at 3.7% in 2026 and 5.6% in 2027.

If realized, growth would fall short of the government’s 5-6% target for 2026 but would be at the lower end of its 5.5-6.5% goal for 2027.

“Growth in East Asia and the Pacific excluding China is forecast to improve to 4.9% in 2027-28 as geopolitical uncertainty dissipates, energy prices settle, and demand improves,” the World Bank said.

“Public investment is expected to recuperate in the Philippines, and Indonesia’s growth will be supported by state-led investment initiatives,” it added.

The Philippine economy expanded by a weaker-than-expected 2.8% in the first quarter, the slowest pace since the pandemic, amid lingering uncertainty from last year’s corruption scandal and higher oil prices linked to the Middle East conflict.

“The World Bank’s outlook is plausible, but I would not treat it as the only reasonable scenario,” Ateneo Center for Economic Research and Development Senior Research Fellow Ser Percival K. Peña-Reyes told BusinessWorld.

He said the weak 2026 forecast reflects uncertain global conditions, elevated geopolitical and trade tensions, fiscal consolidation, weather-related disruptions, and food price shocks.

However, Mr. Peña-Reyes said economic expansion this year could be stronger if household consumption remains resilient, inflation continues to ease, infrastructure spending is sustained, investment reforms gain traction, and monetary policy becomes more accommodative.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Do you think the economy of the Philippines will keep on growing below the targets set by the government? Could it be possible that an economic recession can still happen in the Philippines in 2028?

GCash To Implement In-App OTPs On June 22, 2026

June 17, 2026June 15, 2026carlocarrasco

GCash, the popular mobile payments service and electronic wallet, will implement the in-app, one-time password (OTP) feature on June 22, 2026, according to a business news report by GMA News. The move is a serious attempt to prevent digital fraud.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the GMA News report. Some parts in boldface…

Globe-backed fintech GCash is rolling out an in-app one-time password (OTP) feature beginning June 22, 2026.

The security upgrade replaces text-based codes with OTPs delivered directly within the mobile application. To prevent any disruption to transactions and account activities, GCash is urging users to ensure that their device’s push notifications are fully enabled.

GCash said the move is in line with the directive of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas to phase out SMS-based OTPs by June 30, 2026.

The measure also supports the enforcement of the Anti-Financial Account Scamming Act (AFASA), which aims to strengthen cybersecurity safeguards and curb the growing incidence of digital fraud, GCash said.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? If you are an active user of GCash, were you ever a victim of digital fraud or online theft? Do you think GCash’s new move will keep users safe from fraudsters, hackers and scammers?

US Embassy Official Says Philippines Can Lead Nuclear Energy Renaissance With Skilled Workforce

June 16, 2026June 11, 2026carlocarrasco

An official of the United States Embassy stated that the Philippines can play a huge role in the global nuclear energy renaissance if it could develop successfully a skilled and capable workforce, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin news report. Some parts in boldface…

The Philippines can play a leading role in the global nuclear energy renaissance if it succeeds in developing a skilled workforce capable of supporting a safe, secure, and modern nuclear sector, a United States (US) Embassy official said on Thursday, June 11.

During the Nuclear Workforce Educational Forum at the University of Makati, US Embassy Counselor for Public Diplomacy Jessica Simon said workforce development remains key to the country’s civil nuclear ambitions, with the United States helping build that talent pool through the Fulbright Program in the Philippines.

“Today’s forum reflects a shared aspiration: that the Philippines will not simply observe the global nuclear energy renaissance, it will help lead it,” she said.

“Central to building a safe, secure, and modern nuclear sector is a skilled workforce. Through the Fulbright Program in the Philippines, the United States is building this workforce together with you,” she went on.

Simon said the Philippines and the United States are marking 80 years of diplomatic relations this year, providing an opportunity to strengthen cooperation in areas that could shape the future of both countries, including civil nuclear development.

“This year, the Philippines and the United States celebrate 80 years of our diplomatic relationship. It’s a chance to look back and celebrate all we’ve accomplished together. It’s also a chance to look forward, to consider everything we can accomplish together over the next 80 years,” she said.

“If anything meets that goal, it’s the work the Philippine American Educational Foundation is doing in support of the Philippines’ civil-nuclear development,” she added.

The forum was organized by the Philippine-American Educational Foundation (PAEF), also known as Fulbright Philippines, under its Freedom 250 initiative, which commemorates the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States in 2026.

Per Simon, the initiative seeks to foster cross-sector dialogue on issues relevant to both countries by bringing together government agencies, academic institutions, and private-sector stakeholders.

She said the US Mission and PAEF have been working with agencies such as the Department of Energy, Commission on Higher Education (CHED), and Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), as well as private energy companies, through programs such as the International Visitor Leadership Program, Fulbright Specialists, and Speaker Programs.

The development of a nuclear workforce, she said, requires contributions from all levels of expertise, from researchers and engineers to skilled technicians.

“At the heart of today’s forum is a simple but powerful insight: building a nuclear workforce requires a full-stack approach,” Simon said.

“Every layer matters, from PhD researchers to licensed engineers to skilled technicians. Neglect the technician layer, and you build a system that looks impressive on paper but cannot function in practice,” she added.

Simon urged participants to translate the discussions into concrete institutional action as the Philippines explores the development of its nuclear energy sector.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Do you think the Philippines has what it takes to fully develop a skilled workforce that is capable of supporting a safe, secure, and modern nuclear sector?

America’s Ban On Importing Crab Meat From The Philippines Takes Effect

June 12, 2026June 11, 2026carlocarrasco

Due to the Philippines’ failure to comply with the US Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), the United States’ ban on importing Philippine crab meat officially took effect, according to a business news report by the Philippine Star. This latest development is another embarrassment for the Philippines as it is the only Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member nation that failed the US comparability assessment. It should be noted that the Philippines took pride in hosting the ASEAN Summit this year.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Philippine Star news report. Some parts in boldface…

As the US import ban on Philippine crab meat takes effect today, the blue swimming crab industry is bracing for massive economic losses – estimated at P6 billion to P7 billion annually – and job displacements, an industry stakeholder said.

Former E.B. Magalona mayor and crab meat exporter Alfonso Gamboa said the country’s failure to comply with the US Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) led to the loss of its largest export market.

About 90 percent of Philippine crab meat production is exported to the United States, Gamboa said.

The United States National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) announced on May 12 that imports of Philippine blue swimming crab products would be restricted due to inadequate documentation on mandatory marine mammal protection and bycatch monitoring programs.

Gamboa, president of Saravia Blue Crab Inc., a major blue crab processing company, said the Philippines is the only ASEAN country that failed the US comparability assessment, noting that Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, Vietnam and even China were able to comply.

“We failed because of insufficient documentation and monitoring measures concerning marine mammal protection,” he said.

Gamboa said the industry had already been experiencing difficulties since September 2025 when Philippine exporters were initially denied access to the US market. An appeal filed in January 2026 was likewise unsuccessful.

“In other words, the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) did not do its job,” he said.

Gamboa estimated that around 10,000 fishermen and an additional 4,000 to 5,000 crab meat pickers in Negros, Panay, Bicol, Samar, Leyte and parts of Mindanao could be affected by the loss of the US market.

Major production areas include the Visayan Sea, Guimaras Strait, San Miguel Bay, Masbate, Sorsogon, Camarines Norte and Camarines Sur.

The Philippines exports approximately 500,000 pounds of crab meat monthly to the US, with products sourced from processing facilities in Bacolod, Iloilo, Cebu, and other coastal communities.

Although alternative markets such as China, the European Union, Canada and Australia remain available, Gamboa said they are too small to absorb the volume previously purchased by US buyers.

“These markets cannot absorb the displaced workers or the volume we used to ship to the United States,” he said.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Do you think the government of the Philippines will be able to act quickly to gain access to the United States for its crab meat exports? Who in Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) should be held responsible for the failure to comply with the US Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA)?

Japan’s Steelmaker To Invest Up To $2.5 Billion In America

June 12, 2026June 11, 2026carlocarrasco

The steel industry of the United States will receive a much-needed boost as Japanese steel giant Nippon Steel Corp. will invest up to $2.5 billion in the Pennsylvania-based Mon Valley Works over the next three years, according to a news article by Jiji Press.

To put things in perspective, posted below is the excerpt from the Jiji Press news article. Some parts in boldface…

Nippon Steel Corp. plans to invest up to 2.5 billion dollars in United States Steel Corp.’s Mon Valley Works in Pennsylvania over the next three years, the U.S. steelmaker said Monday.

“The total investment may range from approximately 2 billion to 2.5 billion dollars, more than double the original commitment” of the Japanese steelmaker, which acquired U.S. Steel last year, the Pittsburgh-based company said.

The investment includes construction of a new hot strip mill, set to replace an 87-year-old facility to produce high-value steel products such as those used in automobiles, U.S. Steel said.

The U.S. steelmaker said that the investment would generate 1.7 billion dollars in economic impact and create up to 6,381 jobs in Pennsylvania over three years.

The investment will deliver “lasting benefits to Pennsylvania workers, businesses, and communities,” U.S. Steel said.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think this major investment pledge by the Japanese steel giant will be economically beneficial to the steel workers, small businesses and local communities in the state of Pennsylvania? Do you think more Japanese investment in America will lift up the nation’s economy as long as the ties between US President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae remain strong?

America Tags BYD, Alibaba, Baidu And Others For Involvement With Chinese Military

June 10, 2026June 9, 2026carlocarrasco

Business giants Alibaba, Baidu, BYD and many other Chinese companies have officially been identified by the United States Department of Defense (DoD) as entities that were involved with the military of Communist China, according to a Kyodo News report.

To put things in perspective, posted below is the excerpt from the Kyodo News report. Some parts in boldface…

The U.S. Defense Department said Monday it has added Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., Baidu Inc., BYD Co. and other leading Chinese companies to a long list of entities it believes to be working with China’s military.

The expansion of the list comes after U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed to stabilize bilateral relations during talks in Beijing in mid-May, despite intense geopolitical rivalry and disputes over numerous issues.

In designating the companies, the U.S. department asserted that BYD, China’s largest electric vehicle maker, and internet titans Alibaba and Baidu contribute to the country’s defense industrial base as they are affiliated with its Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

The Pentagon believes China’s “military-civil fusion” strategy has helped modernize the People’s Liberation Army. It is required by law to annually update and publish the list of so-called Chinese military companies operating directly or indirectly in the United States.

While appearing on the list does not lead immediately to legal steps by U.S. agencies, such as export controls or sanctions, the reputations of those named can be impacted. The department is also restricted from entering into contracts with designated entities.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think this development will influence other governments and corporations to avoid signing contracts with Chinese companies that have been working with China’s military? Do you think your local or regional government has signed deals with any of the Chinese companies that have been tagged by the US Department of Defense? Are you concerned that Chinese businesses have stolen technologies and other pieces of critical information from your nation’s government or the private sector?

American AI Companies Targeting IT-BPM Sector Of The Philippines

June 9, 2026June 8, 2026carlocarrasco

With a thriving information technology and business process management (IT-BPM) sector, the Philippines is attracting the attention of American artificial intelligence (AI) firms due to revenues generated and the existing large employment base, according to a Manila Bulletin news report citing the United States Commercial Service (USCS).

To put things in perspective, posted below is the excerpt from the Manila Bulletin report. Some parts in boldface…

The Philippines’ information technology and business process management (IT-BPM) sector has emerged as the most viable investment destination for American artificial intelligence (AI) firms, according to the United States Commercial Service (USCS).

USCS Manila commercial specialist Easter Villanueva said the IT-BPM sector is a promising market for US-based AI companies given the revenues it generates and its large employment base.

“Given the size of this sector, AI could play an important role in modernization, productivity, and movement toward higher value services,” she said in a webinar organized by the USCS last week.

The IT-BPM sector generated more than $40 billion in revenues last year, up five percent from $38 billion in 2024, based on data from the IT and Business Process Association of the Philippines (IBPAP).

IBPAP said the industry employed 1.9 million workers last year, four percent higher than the previous year’s 1.82 million employees.

This year, the IT-BPM industry is expected to generate $42 billion in revenues and create 1.97 million jobs.

As AI threatens to disrupt the industry, Villanueva said the sector is increasingly becoming more open to integrating AI into its operations, especially when it comes to voice-based services.

“I would think that they would be very much willing to explore [AI], since it is also important for workforce development,” said Villanueva.

“They want to also protect the jobs here in this market, [so] they would want to upskill their agents to be able to integrate their daily operations with AI,” she added.

Aside from the IT-BPM sector, other promising industries for American AI companies include digital transformation, financial services, telecommunications, healthcare, energy, infrastructure, and the public sector.

Villanueva said there are also opportunities in cybersecurity, data governance, and responsible AI, especially as companies become more conscious of data privacy and security.

Based on USCS estimates, AI adoption in the country remains limited, with only about 14.9 percent of companies currently using AI tools.

“This is not yet a mature AI market, and many buyers are still learning what AI can do, what it cannot do, how much it will cost, and how results can be measured. For US companies, this means that the opportunity is not only to sell, but also to educate, build trust, and demonstrate practical value,” said Villanueva.

For AI companies looking to enter the market, she said it is critical to make their use case clear by helping address a specific problem with measurable outcomes while offering cost-effective solutions.

She also recommended that firms work with local partners for market access and implementation support, embed data privacy and AI governance measures early, and adopt a consultative approach with buyers.

“Buyers can be price-sensitive, and companies may face competition from lower-cost providers…So the opportunity is real, but it will require patience, education, and a clear business case,” Villanueva said.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think several AI firms in the United States will proceed to tap the IT-BPM sector of the Philippines soon? What kind of business developments do you think will happen once American AI firms start investing in the Philippines’ IT-BPM sector? Do you think political scandals or government-related blunders of the Philippines might discourage American AI companies from investing?

Food Cart Program In Las Piñas City Expanded To Include More Families

June 8, 2026June 3, 2026carlocarrasco

Recently in Las Piñas City, the new food cart program was expanded to include more families so they could improve their livelihoods and be able to start small-sized businesses of their own, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin report. Some parts in boldface…

Fifteen families in Las Piñas City have been given a fresh opportunity to improve their livelihoods after the city government distributed additional food carts under its ongoing assistance program.

Mayor April Aguilar announced that the food carts were awarded to selected beneficiaries to help them start small businesses and generate extra income for their households. This latest batch of recipients adds to the six families who received food carts on May 2.

Some of those earlier beneficiaries have already launched ventures this summer, selling refreshing “samalamig” drinks and popular street food favorites known as “tusok-tusok.”

These affordable snacks not only bring joy to local communities but also provide steady earnings for the families involved.

The beneficiaries expressed gratitude for the assistance, saying the food carts would help them meet their daily needs and give them a chance to build a more stable source of livelihood for their families.

The mayor said the local government remains committed to implementing programs that create jobs and livelihood opportunities for Las Piñeros as part of the city’s continuing efforts to improve the quality of life of its residents.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: If you are a resident of Las Piñas City, what is your reaction to this development? Are you delighted to see more families getting included in the local food cart program under the City Government?
