President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Thursday challenged investors to move beyond promises and deliver tangible results on the Luzon Economic Corridor (LEC), emphasizing the need to convert commitments into functioning infrastructure projects.
Speaking at the opening of a two-day LEC Investment Forum in Taguig City, Marcos stressed the importance of accelerating private-sector participation and commercial partnerships to drive development of key infrastructure initiatives across the region.
The high-level international gathering brings together investors, business leaders, and government officials to explore opportunities for advancing major economic projects under the LEC framework. The corridor, spanning the country's northern and central regions, is envisioned as a catalyst for regional growth and connectivity.
The President's remarks underscore the administration's push to translate the LEC's strategic vision into concrete investments, with the forum serving as a platform to bridge the gap between stated intentions and actual project implementation across critical infrastructure sectors.
