WASHINGTON D.C., United States — The Philippines has secured $1.3 billion worth of investment pledges during President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos' official visit to the US. The President said this in his report before departing for London for the coronation of King Charles on Thursday (Friday, Manila time), adding that these investment commitments were expected to create about 6,700 jobs in the Philippines. 'I also met with quite a few US companies — both those looking to further expand their already valuable presence and operations in the Philippines and those looking to invest in our country for the first time,' Marcos said.
