MANILA, Philippines — French President François Hollande on Thursday addressed top Filipino and French businessmen on helping bridge the country's development gaps.

Speaking at the Makati Business Club and the Philippines-France Business Council forum, Hollande said that while the Philippines enjoys one of the fastest growth rates in the world, it needs major investments for renewable energy and education.

"This is where France can stand by you," he said.
