Hernandez.


The AEP gives tax incentives to local automotive parts manufacturers to export a required number of completely-built up (CBU) vehicles.


At present, there is only one participant in the AEP — Ford Motor Philippines.

                    [Summary] => The government is seeking Japan  commitment to invest in the  local automotive sector under the Japan-Philippines Economic Partnership Agreement (JPEPA).


Trade Undersecretary Elmer Hernandez said over the weekend that the  Philippines wants Japan to commit to invest heavily in the local automotive industry comparable to the investments it is pouring into Thailand.


The government has already complained to Japan that the Philippines needs more investments since it continues to struggle to grow the  local automotive sector, while Thailand is already way ahead.
