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?

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?

800 Square Meters Of Land Allotted By SBMA For Luzon Economic Corridor Initiatives

June 15, 2026June 9, 2026carlocarrasco

Subic Bay’s participation in the ambitious Luzon Economic Corridor (LEC) was felt anew as the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) announced it has allotted eight hundred square meters of land for the LEC initiatives and for the Bases Conversion and Development Authority’s (BCDA) utilization.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the SBMA’s official announcement. Some parts in boldface…

The Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) has allotted 800-square meters of land to be utilized by the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) for the Luzon Economic Corridor (LEC) initiatives.

SBMA Chairman and Administrator Eduardo Jose L. Aliño and BCDA President/ CEO Joshua M. Bingcang formalized this pact in a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) at the SBMA administration building on June 3, 2026.

SBMA Senior Deputy Administrator for Support Services Atty. Ramon O. Agregado and BCDA Senior Vice President for Conversion and Development Group Engr. Mark P. Torres witnessed the signing of the MOA along with officials and employees from both agencies.

Aliño stated that the designated area will serve as a workspace for BCDA officials and employees involved in official duties throughout the construction of the Subic-Clark-Manila-Batangas (SCMB) Railway Project and the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) interchange expansion.

“We are delighted to have you join our community. This partnership is more than just us lending you a parcel of land. It is a commitment to building a vibrant, supportive, and sustainable home for your staff. We look forward to ensuring that their living experience here is not only comfortable but truly enriching,” Aliño said.

Meanwhile, Bingcang said that this prepositioning of BCDA officials and staff is part of the agency’s thrust to ensure that the BCDA’s assets in Bataan accelerate investments and development activities in the region.

He added that these combined developments are expected to boost investment inflows further and increase personnel movement and operational demands in and around the Subic-Bataan-Clark growth area.

The agreement signed by the two agencies stipulates the use of an approximately 800-square-meter vacant residential lot located between Lots 95 and 97 Corsair Street, West Kalayaan, Kalayaan Heights District, Subic Bay Freeport Zone.

The allocation was approved by the SBMA Board of Directors through Resolution No. 25-07-1360 dated July 10, 2025, subject to the terms and conditions of the MOA and applicable SBMA rules and regulations.

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)?

June 11, 2026June 8, 2026carlocarrasco

Urban agriculture in Las Piñas City got boosted recently as hydroponics farming has been promoted locally the City Government’s agriculture office, 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…

The Las Piñas City Agriculture Office continues to strengthen its urban agriculture program by conducting free hydroponics training sessions for residents across different communities in the city.

Mayor April Aguilar said the activity introduced participants—including urban gardeners and aspiring home growers—to modern and sustainable farming techniques that can be practiced even in limited spaces.

During the training, agriculture personnel demonstrated the fundamentals of hydroponics, a soil-free farming method that uses nutrient-rich water solutions to grow plants.

Aguilar noted that participants learned about the benefits of the technology, including increased crop productivity, efficient water use, and the ability to cultivate vegetables and other crops in urban communities where land is scarce.

As part of the program, the City Agriculture Office also distributed free seedlings and seeds to attendees to help them start or expand their own home gardens.

The initiative is part of the city’s ongoing efforts to promote food security, environmental sustainability, and community self-sufficiency.

By equipping residents with practical knowledge and planting materials, the local government aims to encourage more families to produce fresh, nutritious food while fostering a culture of urban farming.

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.

Tourism’s Contribution To Philippines GDP The Lowest In 3 Years

June 7, 2026June 2, 2026carlocarrasco

Given the fact that the Philippines has been having trouble attracting foreign tourists and their money, it has been confirmed that the tourism industry’s contribution to the national economy in 2025 fell down to a 3-year low, according to a news report by BusinessWorld. For insight, the Philippines attracted 5.94 million foreign tourists in 2025 while Indonesia attracted 15.39 million, Vietnam attracted a record-high 21.2 million and Thailand attracted almost 33 million.

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

THE TOURISM industry’s contribution to the Philippine economy fell to its lowest level in three years in 2025, weighed down by weaker tourism spending by foreign visitors, according to data from the statistics agency.

Preliminary data from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) showed tourism’s direct gross value added (TDGVA) accounted for 8.1% of the gross domestic product (GDP) in 2025, down from 8.7% of GDP in 2024.

This was tourism’s lowest contribution to the national output in at least three years or since 2022 when it contributed 6.3% to the country’s GDP.

The country’s TDGVA was estimated at P2.27 trillion last year, down by 1.4% from the revised P2.3 trillion in 2024.

The TDGVA measures the value generated from various tourism-related activities and is based on the results of the Philippine Tourism Satellite Accounts report, which the PSA compiles from the Department of Tourism.

Tourism Congress of the Philippines President James M. Montenegro said the drop reflected external pressures, structural constraints and a weaker recovery in international tourism relative to the rest of the Philippine economy.

“While domestic tourism remained resilient, inbound tourism weakened significantly in 2025, which pulled down overall tourism value creation,” Mr. Montenegro said in a Viber message.

He said a major factor was the slower-than-expected recovery of inbound tourism from key Asian markets such as China and India even after the Philippine government eased visa requirement for Chinese and Indian nationals.

Mr. Montenegro said another challenge is the Philippine tourism industry’s ability to remain competitive in attracting foreign tourists. He said the Philippines should prioritize making key destinations more accessible to major regional markets.

“Many neighboring countries accelerated aggressive tourism recovery programs, including visa-free access, expanded airline incentives, stronger destination marketing, and airport infrastructure improvements. The Philippines continued to face challenges in air connectivity, airport capacity, inter-island transport efficiency, and tourist friction points,” Mr. Montenegro said.

He said that while the Philippines’ tourism sector has one of the highest contributions to GDP in Southeast Asia, it continues to lag behind regional peers in attracting tourists.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Were you surprised that the Philippines remained weak on attracting foreign tourists even though some reforms were implemented? Do you think the local tourism authorities should focus more on domestic tourism which itself remains strong and growing? What are the biggest hassles that tourists experience here in the Philippines when it comes to traveling by air, sea and land today?

Chinese National Arrested In Laguna For Posing As A Filipino

June 7, 2026June 5, 2026carlocarrasco

Here in the Philippines, illegal immigration in the form of foreigners pretending to be Filipino citizens is a growing problem. Recently in Laguna province, a Chinese national who pretended to be a Filipino was arrested by the authorities, according to a news report by GMA News.

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

A Chinese national allegedly posing as a Filipino was arrested in Sta. Rosa, Laguna, with authorities now investigating how he obtained a driver’s license from the Land Transportation Office (LTO) that was reportedly used in the deception.

According to a report on “24 Oras Weekend” by John Consulta, the Bureau of Immigration (BI) and the National Bureau of Investigation Organized and Transnational Crime Division (NBI-OTCD) implemented a deportation order and served a warrant at a residence in a subdivision in Sta. Rosa.

However, the target was not immediately found, and only a woman was initially encountered at the house.

Authorities later tracked down the suspect within the subdivision, where he was reportedly cornered while jogging. He allegedly tried to evade arrest but was eventually subdued by operatives.

NBI Director Melvin Matibag said the Chinese national was arrested for allegedly using falsified documents identifying himself as Filipino, including a Philippine-issued driver’s license.

Authorities also recovered his Chinese passport, which remains valid until 2027, along with the LTO-issued driver’s license.

While the surname on both documents matched, the driver’s license reportedly carried a Filipino-sounding first and middle name and listed the holder’s nationality as Filipino.

LTO chief Asst. Sec. Markus Lacanilao said a review of records showed the foreign national applied for a driver’s license that was later used in assuming a false Filipino identity.

The agency clarified that the document was not a conversion of a foreign driver’s license.

“This is not a conversion of a license. A foreign-issued license converted into a Philippine license—that is not the case,” he said.

Records also showed that the suspect first applied for a driver’s license in 2010 and renewed it in 2018 in Bulacan, where his nationality was listed as Filipino.

“They use Filipino names. They try to hide by pretending to be Filipino-Chinese, but they are actually Chinese nationals posing as Filipinos,” Lacanilao said.

The arrested foreign national is currently detained at the Bureau of Immigration detention facility. He has yet to issue a statement and is reportedly filing an appeal before the Department of Justice.

Authorities said a deeper investigation is ongoing, including a review of other documents that may have been issued to the suspect, and the possible cancellation of his driver’s license.

“(Revocation) is automatic. We will cancel his driver’s license, and the places where it was issued must also be investigated,” he said.

Lacanilao also warned that such documents may be used for acquiring properties, vehicles, and other fraudulent activities. Matibag said this scheme also poses national security concerns.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Are you concerned that there could be several thousands more Chinese nationals who are living in the Philippines with false identities as Filipinos? Do you think all government agencies should be prepared to spot false documents from foreigners who intend to gain false Filipino identities? What do you think is the main reason why some Chinese nationals exerted efforts to gain Filipino identities?
