Malaysia trip to create over 100K jobs for Pinoys: Marcos

By Prince Golez

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said he’s expecting the creation of more than 100,000 jobs from the $285 million in investment pledges from his three-day state visit to Malaysia.

“We don’t have a number as yet because we – kakapirma lang. So, we will have to make the assessments. But I’m talking at the very least tens of thousands if not over, more than 100,000 jobs here,” Marcos Jr. said in a media interview.

On Thursday, the President met with Malaysian business leaders who expressed intention to invest in the food processing industry, multi-service digital platforms, aviation and aviation maintenance support services in the Philippines.

The business leaders also wanted to invest in the logistics, manufacturing, infrastructure, water and wastewater treatment facilities in the country, according to him.

Marcos Jr. said the investment commitments would surely generate job opportunities, particularly during the construction and operational phases of the various projects.

“The downstream, upstream and downstream jobs will also increase and will maintain that job employment rate. So, when we start talking – when we start getting down to the details of the project, we can give you a better number in terms of jobs created,” he also said.
