                    [Summary] => 



The Philippines continues to be the frontrunner, if not the winner already,  in the competition to bag the $1-billion new investment of American semiconductor firm Texas Instruments (TI).


TI has been looking at the Philippines and China for its new manufacturing facility.


TI already has an existing $27-million manufacturing facility in Baguio.


However, TI has already expanded four times  and reached the full capacity of its manufacturing facility at the Baguio Export Processing Zone.

                    [Summary] => The semiconductor and electronics industry is projecting exports to reach $100 billion by 2008  based on a master development plan developed by the Semiconductor and Electronics Industries of the Philippines (SEIPI) together with Deloitte Consulting.


According to the master development plan,  the Philippines can become a regional center of excellence in selected electronics industry products and processes.


But the SEIPI said  the industry is  still threatened by many factors, including China which offers cheap labor, lower power cost and  a massive domestic demand.
