23-6-2023 (MANILA) President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has called on the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to support his administration’s thrust of transforming the Philippines into a premiere investment destination. Speaking at the agency’s 85th-anniversary celebration, he acknowledged the SEC as a “reliable partner” in the government’s push for digitalization. He underscored how, through the implementation of digital reforms, the SEC has positioned itself as a catalyst for positive change.
Marcos led the inauguration of the SEC’s new headquarters in Makati City and emphasized that the digital reforms have made it easier for corporations to comply with requirements and maintain a good standing in the business community. He noted that these measures not only enhance the accessibility and efficiency of government services but also ensure the maintenance of a safe and orderly investment environment, protecting the rights and welfare of investors and consumers.
“With programs such as eSECURE, eSEARCH, eRAMP, and SEC CheckApp, the SEC continues to be a reliable partner in our efforts to digitize our government procedures and our services,” Marcos said. He added that he knows he can count on the SEC to help promote the country as a safe, orderly, and proactive investment destination that upholds the rights and welfare of investors and consumers to their mutual benefits.
“Let us use all the successes to further promote ease of doing business and to actively contribute to our overall goal of bringing a comfortable life to our people. I look forward to the succeeding years when more and more local businesses will reach even greater heights for a more robust and equitable economy,” the President concluded.
