Senator Christopher Go today welcomed the private sector’s interest in participating in the government’s push for accelerated regional development through the Balik Probinsya, Bagong Pag-asa (BP2) program.
Go, chairman of the Senate health and demography committee, also encouraged more businesses to follow suit and invest in areas outside the country’s heavily populated urban centers.
“Kapag nasa probinsya, pwede naman mag-invest rin kung ‘yung mga local government very interested sa mga investment magkaroon ng trabaho doon… talagang maganda ‘yun kung babalik sa probinsya ,” PCCI Chair Sergio Ortiz-Luis said in a recent separate interview. “There is a need and a desire of a fresh start that can be both creative and bold. Filipinos have their chance to design their new cities in the provinces to make them a model of sustainable architecture in Southeast Asia and the world,” he added.
“We are seeing a lot of clients scrabble for decentralized locations. Many of our call center clients have contacted us saying, ‘We need locations closer to our agents,” he said. Go emphasized that these efforts would be complemented by the Corporate Recovery and Tax Incentives for Enterprises Act, now pending in Congress, which shall offer incentives to enterprises registered in areas outside of major cities such as Metro Manila as well as less developed areas previously determined by the National Economic Development Authority .
