                    [Summary] => The Philippines’ competitiveness in attracting foreign investments must be carefully weighed in any decision of the government to withhold incentives.


In a talk with newsmen, European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (ECCP) executive vice president Henry Schumacher noted that the Philippines at present is not even a primary investment destination for most foreign investors.


Thus, withholding investment incentives, Schumacher said, may affect the competitiveness of the country.
