                    [Summary] => 



In an attempt to encourage investments in the country, Trade and Industry (DTI) Secretary Peter B. Favila has announced the creation of an investment ombudsman who will oversee graft charges against government officials perceived to be blocking investment activities.


With the ombudsman in place, Favila said the government hopes more investments will come in as bureaucracy will be lessened. Initially, the ombudsman will hold office at DTI and will focus on complaints against local government units.

                    [Summary] => 



The country is losing between $300 million to $400 million worth of foreign investments a year because of the Supreme Court decision to nullifying the contract between the government and the foreign investors who built the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3, a top economic manager said.


At the sidelines of a legal forum held yesterday, Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Romulo L. Neri said the perception of the judiciary declaring contracts void has deterred businessmen from investing in the country.
