00:00Samantala, usapin ekonomiya at mga inaasahan sa zona ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. ang ating pag-uusapan

00:05kasama si Sir Joey Concepcion, GoNegosio Founder at Private Sector Lead for Jobs. Magandang tanghali po.

00:14Good afternoon.

00:16Sir, unahin po natin yung inuwing investment pledges ni Pangulong Marcos Jr. mula sa kanyang official visit sa Estados Unidos.

00:22Ano po ang detalye at ang masasabi niyo rito?

00:24Well, I was with Secretary Chris Rockets event over the weekend,

00:35and she was telling me that the President really negotiated well for the Philippines.

00:43And what's important really is that we, under the leadership of President Marcos,

00:52it's very important for us to create more jobs for our people, no?

00:56So, mga negosyantes, all our entrepreneurs, our micro, small, and medium enterprises

01:01have to really do much better.

01:06And we see that the, as we support our MSMEs,

01:11which is a bulk of the business community,

01:15if we include them as part of the entire business community,

01:18they comprise a huge portion of that sector.

01:23So, we have to really scale them up.

01:27The America, in the end, of course,

01:31we're, of course, there are a lot of challenges that we face,

01:37but I'm certain that as the private sector continues to support this administration,

01:43especially helping our MSMEs scale up,

01:47then the economy will grow.

01:49Because the economy cannot grow just with big business expanding, no?

01:54It doesn't become an inclusive growth.

01:57So, the focus of GoNegosio and the Department of Trade and Industry

02:01is to really support our MSMEs, no?

02:04Sir Joy, patungkol naman po doon sa pagbaba sa 19% na U.S. tariff sa Philippine exports,

02:09gaano po ito kahalaga para sa atin at sa ating ekonomiya?

02:14Well, yes, it's 19%, no?

02:19But it still is good.

02:21I mean, we do export a lot.

02:25I mean, America, sorry, exports to us wheat.

02:31In fact, our company uses a lot of wheat that comes from the United States.

02:35So, and the quality of the flour that we use for many of the bakeries

02:45are critical in that quality.

02:50So, from my own point of view,

02:54the negotiations, what I would say, pretty okay.

02:59I mean, it could be better,

03:01but I think under these terms, the relationship with U.S. and the Philippines is very important.

03:08Yes, sir.

03:08At doon po sa nabanggit ni Special Assistant to the President for Economic and Investment Affairs,

03:13Secretary Go,

03:14na hindi kabilang sa zero tariff ng U.S. exports on agricultural products,

03:18bakit po natin masasabi o ikinikonsiderang sensitive commodities?

03:22Yes po, na hindi po kabilang sa zero tariff ng U.S. exports yung agricultural products.

03:40Patungkol po dito, bakit po natin masasabi o maikukonsiderang sensitive commodities?

03:44Well, it's good.

03:48In other words, while the U.S. exports wheat to us, which is big,

03:55we still can continue to export our various products to the United States.

04:02We do, many, many small and medium entrepreneurs export a lot of, you know,

04:13homemade, like our vinegar, our condiments, and all of that, no?

04:20It's sold in the Filipino stores, no?

04:22The Oriental stores in America, no?

04:25Alright.

04:26Pero sa inyong perspective,

04:27bilang private sector lead for jobs,

04:29ano po yung inyong pangunahing inaasahan mula sa SONA ni Pangulong Marcos Jr. ngayong taon?

04:36Well, it's very important for President Marcos,

04:43we have to continue to create more opportunities, more jobs for our people.

04:47That's very important the way you see it.

04:49And I'm part of the Private Sector Advisory Council for Jobs.

04:54Kasama ko dyan si Tessie, si Freda Yala, etc.

04:57So we've been working through the last months

05:00in how do we generate more jobs for our people.

05:03And the only way that we can do that is we have to upskill, no?

05:07Many of our micro and small entrepreneurs,

05:10we have to improve their skills in whatever business model they're in.

05:16And this is where our partnership with the Department of State and Industry,

05:23Secretary Roque, who leads that,

05:25and of course GoNegosia, which has been around for the last 20 years,

05:29we really have to scale up our micro and small and medium enterprises

05:33to become one day much bigger

05:35and more innovative in developing new products.

05:41And as we create more jobs, the economy will do much better, no?

05:47And that's the only key to economic growth,

05:49is scaling up our people, upskilling them as well,

05:55and providing them the opportunities that big business has.

06:00So a big business cannot be the solution to our economy growing, no?

06:07The most important here is creating prosperity,

06:12not only for us in big business,

06:13but for all our micro, small, and medium enterprises.

06:17Mariban, sir, dun sa nabanggit yung pong paglikha ng mas marami pang trabaho

06:22at yung upskilling ng ating mga manggagawa,

06:24may particular po ba kayo nais marinig mula sa Pangulo Marcos Jr.

06:28tungkol naman sa pagpapalakas ng partnership ng pamahalaan

06:31at pribadong sektor pagdating sa job creation?

06:36Well, it's very clear, no?

06:39Ever since President Marcos assumed his role

06:42as the chief executive of the Philippines,

06:47we respect that,

06:48and we know the solution to our problem, no?

06:53And today, what is good is that

06:58we can see the economy becoming more inclusive.

07:02And how is that?

07:04Before, it was only big business

07:06who can promote our products, our services,

07:09through social media, through television, and all of that.

07:13But today, we are teaching our micro,

07:17small and medium entrepreneurs,

07:18to use social media because it's free.

07:22We're teaching them how to become influencers

07:24and content creators

07:25because these are very important.

07:28It's like themselves marketing their own product or service.

07:32And that's all done through the Internet.

07:36And whether you do it to Facebook, YouTube,

07:40and many other platforms,

07:42so it's not just having a store

07:45or having products out there,

07:47but being able to market it.

07:49And social media is technically

07:52the best avenue which has created greater democracy

07:56for our MSMEs to know,

08:00to tell the entire Philippines

08:02that I have this product,

08:04it's for sale,

08:04this is my quality, etc., etc.

08:07So this is why many of our grants

08:09that we do all over the Philippines,

08:11together with the Department of Trade

08:13and the different regions of the country,

08:16we bring mentors,

08:17some of them in the 50s and 100s,

08:20of mentors who meet entrepreneurs,

08:23and sit down with them

08:26and talk to them

08:27and they ask questions

08:28on how they can grow their businesses.

08:32And this has been going on

08:33for the last 20 years.

08:35So we intend to support President Marcos

08:39really scale up this economy,

08:41but it has,

08:42and it will be inclusive

08:44because now MSMEs will play a big role here.

08:47All right.

08:49Pero sa kasalukuya economic situation

08:51po ng bansa,

08:52gaano po kahalaga

08:53natutukan ng pamahalaan

08:54ng entrepreneurship,

08:55access to capital,

08:57ease of doing business,

08:58o digitalization?

09:01Well,

09:02an entrepreneur,

09:04in the end,

09:05that's why we call our program

09:063Ms, no?

09:08Key,

09:08what are the 3Ms?

09:10You need a mentor,

09:11you need access to money,

09:12and you need access to market.

09:14That's very important.

09:15So access to mentor,

09:16access to money,

09:17and access to market

09:19is critical.

09:20And this is the program

09:21that we're trying to do.

09:22We actually bring the banks,

09:25the MFIs,

09:26and some of the large banks

09:27in the events that we have.

09:29And that is providing them

09:31access to money.

09:32Now,

09:32access to market,

09:34we are teaching them

09:34on how to get into social media.

09:37And by teaching them,

09:39upskilling them,

09:40and then become content creators

09:42and influencers.

09:43Because if you don't have access

09:44to money,

09:46market,

09:47and a mentor,

09:48you're going to have

09:49a difficult time.

09:51In big business,

09:52of course,

09:52I mean,

09:53many of the CEOs

09:55come from good schools.

09:57Of course,

09:58they have mentors as well.

10:00So,

10:00they are,

10:01they have the skill.

10:02They have the funds

10:03with them,

10:05because they're much bigger.

10:07So,

10:08this is what

10:09we are trying to do,

10:11no?

10:11big businesses

10:12can handle their own.

10:13They can face

10:14all the problems.

10:15But for this economy

10:16to grow

10:17and for us

10:18to create more jobs,

10:20if we don't scale up

10:21our micro

10:22to become small

10:23and small

10:24to become medium

10:25and medium only

10:25to become large,

10:27then we will not

10:27be able to create

10:28more jobs.

10:29So,

10:29job generation

10:30is related

10:31to the growth

10:31of the Philippine economy,

10:33which is

10:34well-participated

10:37by our

10:38micro,

10:38small,

10:39and medium enterprises.

10:40So,

10:40we scale them up,

10:42then our economy

10:43will grow.

10:44Alright.

10:45Panguli na lamang po,

10:46Sir Joey,

10:46para po sa inyo,

10:47paano po maaaring

10:48gamitin ang SONA

10:49ng ating Panguno

10:50bilang platforma

10:51para palakasin pa

10:52ang entrepreneurial

10:53mindset

10:54ng ating mga kababayan?

10:55Well,

10:58I'm sure

10:58the president

10:58will share

11:00his vision

11:01on what he sees

11:02in the next year

11:03that we have to do.

11:05We are actually

11:06going to be

11:07hosting the ASEAN

11:08in the year

11:082026.

11:10So,

11:10that,

11:11right now

11:14it's Malaysia,

11:14they will turn over

11:15the ASEAN

11:16hosting to us

11:17in January

11:18next year.

11:19So,

11:19that is going to be

11:20a very big event.

11:21But we want

11:22to do,

11:23and I get the ASEAN

11:24Business Advisory Council

11:26for the private sector,

11:27we want to,

11:29we don't want

11:29our Philippines

11:30to say,

11:31the ASEAN

11:31is just going

11:32to cause traffic,

11:33no.

11:33I believe

11:34hosting the ASEAN

11:34here will bring

11:35a lot of opportunities.

11:37And why

11:38was ASEAN created?

11:40Because it's

11:4110 countries

11:42working together.

11:43Now,

11:44we have our strengths,

11:45our weaknesses,

11:46and we have,

11:47that's why we created

11:48the ASEAN Food Security Alliance,

11:50whereby all 10 countries

11:52have to help

11:52each other

11:54in scaling up

11:55and on the food,

11:59the main commodities

12:02that each country

12:03produces.

12:04So,

12:05I'm very optimistic

12:06that as we strengthen

12:08ASEAN,

12:09we will have scale,

12:10and as you have scale,

12:10then you will be able

12:12to export

12:12to other countries

12:13as well.

12:14So,

12:14I think

12:15this will be

12:17a very important

12:18international event

12:20for the Philippines,

12:21and we really enjoy

12:23that all Filipinos

12:25should participate here,

12:26and the private sector

12:28is going to be

12:29quite active

12:30during this hosting

12:31of ASEAN

12:33in the Philippines.

12:34Alright,
