1 July  2013 - Philippine Ambassador to Portugal Philippe J. Lhuillier was interviewed  on June 22 by Ganhar Mundo, a local business-oriented TV show to introduce the exciting new opportunities for Portuguese businessmen in the Philippines and to give practical tips on how to do business in the country.

During the show, the Ambassador pointed to the recent investment-grade status earned by the country from the various ratings agencies as proof of the increased business confidence and consumer optimism in the country fuelled by the strong macro-economic fundamentals and high level of public trust in the administration. He explained that the Philippines enjoyed an impressive 7.8 GDP growth in the first quarter of this year, surpassing even China.

Ganhar Mundo has a wide viewership of Portuguese businessmen and entrepreneurs searching for potential investment opportunities and alternative venues for putting up or expanding their business.

Ambassador Lhuillier invited the viewers to consider the Philippines and take advantage of the wide-ranging efforts and reforms undertaken by the Aquino administration to improve the ease of doing business in the country.

“There has never been a more exciting time to invest in the Philippines than now,” Ambassador Lhullier stated. END
