Manila: President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. met with Mitsubishi Corporation president and chief executive officer (CEO) Katsuya Nakanishi to advance potential Japanese investments aimed at creating jobs, accelerating mass transport projects, expanding clean energy, and strengthening digital services in the Philippines.

According to Philippines News Agency, the President discussed with Mr. Katsuya Nakanishi the prospect of investments that will contribute to job creation and aid in completing faster and more reliable subway and railway systems. These systems are intended to ease daily commuting and improve mobility in urban and regional areas.

The proposed investments are aligned with the administration's push to modernize public transportation, particularly focusing on subway and railway systems. This modernization is part of a broader government initiative to improve infrastructure and transportation networks across the country.

In addition to transportation and energy initiatives, the discussions also touched on efforts to strengthen digital services. These improvements aim to make everyday transactions easier for Filipinos, contributing to the broader goal of building a Bagong Pilipinas.

Mitsubishi Corporation has a long history of investments in the Philippines, with interests spanning infrastructure, energy, transportation, and industrial projects. This positions the corporation as a key partner in the government's economic and infrastructure agenda.
