00:00Samantala, aabot hanggang sa mayigit 400 billion piso ang alok na suporta ng gobyerno ng United Kingdom
00:05para pagandahin ang mga infrastruktura sa Pilipinas.
00:09Sabi lang sa mga makikinabang ang sektor ng renewable energy, cyber security at AI technology sa bansa.
00:18May unang balita si JP Soriano.
00:24Sa first quarter ng 2026, umaabot sa 3.1 billion British pounds o humigit kumulang 264 billion pesos
00:33ang kabuang halaga ng ugnayang pang-ekonomiya ng United Kingdom at Pilipinas.
00:39Batay sa datos ng Department for Business, Innovation, Science at Trade ng UK,
00:44mas mataas ito ng 0.8% kumpara sa parehong quarter ng 2025.
00:51Ayon kay Chris Nelson, Executive Vice Chairman ng British Chamber of Commerce Philippines,
00:56may malaking oportunidad ang bagong infrastructure financing framework sa pagitan ng Pilipinas at United Kingdom
01:03na nagbibigay ng akses sa hanggang 5 billion pounds o abot sa 425 billion pesos
01:10na potensyal na suporta mula sa UK export finance para sa mga kwalipikadong proyekto sa Pilipinas.
01:17Isa raw sa mga pangunahing sektor na maaaring makinabang ay ang renewable energy.
01:23May malawa kasing expertise ang UK sa clean energy technologies
01:27na makatutulong sa Pilipinas para mabawasan ang pagdepende nito sa langis at coal.
01:33Now, will ordinary Filipinos benefit quickly? I have to say projects take a while.
01:39Infrastructure projects, I'm sure UK companies will be very much interested in transportation.
01:46And I think linkages there and how that can be benefited.
01:50Naniniwala ang mga mamumuhunan mula sa UK na makakatulong sa pagpapalakas ng ekonomiya ng Pilipinas
01:56ang mas malawak na investment sa renewable energy at transportation infrastructure,
02:02partikular ang pagpapaunlad at pagpapalawak ng railway system gaya ng subways.
02:08So I think what the Philippines really needs is further railway.
02:12It will certainly boost the economy.
02:14And of course, not just speed up that people can go to work and get home,
02:18but also the transport of goods and services.
02:21Mahalaga rin daw, ayon sa British Chamber of Commerce,
02:25napalakasin ng gobyerno ng Pilipinas ang transparency sa pamahalaan,
02:30bawasan ng red tape at pabilisin ang pagpasa ng mahalagang batas,
02:35partikular sa cyber security at digital transactions.
02:39If we can continue to reduce the red tape, we're an artichampion,
02:44have less direct involvement, have more online digital payments.
02:48We believe this will actually improve the transparency.
02:53Sa larangan ng teknolohiya, nauna ng sinabi ni Pangulong Bambong Marcos
02:57na isa sa mga plano ay maging AI o Artificial Intelligence at Digital Tech Investment Hub ang Pilipinas.
03:04Suportado ito ng British Chamber of Commerce Philippines.
03:07Now, what is the number, one of the key talents in the Philippines is people.
03:12I mean, you've seen that with business outsourcing.
03:15I think the key is going to be is how can artificial intelligence be used to further develop it.
03:22Now, I think for the Philippines, that means training and investment in education.
03:27Ito ang unang balita, JP Soriano, GMA News.
