government would protect their investments in the country.
The President made the assurance as he
graced the 30th founding anniversary of Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP)
held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Taguig City.
“Today, I send a message to the rest of
the business community: this government will protect your investments

you obey the laws of the land and safeguard the welfare of your people
and the general public,” Duterte said.
He congratulated TMP for being one of
the leading pioneers in the country’s automotive industry and thanked
them for their contribution to the economy.
“Toyota Motor Philippines is not only a
leader in the production of quality vehicles. It is also a major driver
of our economy, encouraging investments that spur national development,”
he said.
“It is also a key generator of employment, nurturing the skills and talents of over 55,000 employees,” he added.
Duterte likewise noted that TMP has also
been the government’s steadfast partner in initiatives such as the
Comprehensive Automotive Resurgence Strategy (CARS) program that aims to
attract more investments and implement regulations for the improvement
of the automotive industy.

billion to bring in new in-house and out-house manufacturing
capabilities in the said program, according to the President.

standards of the automotive industry of the country to greater heights.

appreciation to the company’s initiatives to uplift the lives of the
