The Investment climate in the country remains very healthy as our data show all time highs in all significant areas of investment, Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Industry and Investments Group Undersecretary Cristino L. Panlilio said during the Talking Points-Communication and News Exchange (CNEX) forum. Compared to last year, Undersecretary Panlilio underscored significant increase in the investments registered with the Board of Investments (BOI) and the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) this year.

During the first five months of 2011 we have registered a record total of P259.95 billion, thats 189 percent higher compared to the P90-billion approved investments generated in the same period last year, Undersecretary Panlilio said.

According to Panlilio, the major sources of said investments were local investors with committed investments worth P224.57 billion while foreign investors kicked in a total of P35.37 billion.

The first year of the Aquino administration, from July 2010 to May 2011, saw a whopping P535 .19 billion approved investments, a substantial increase of 73 percent from the P309 .87 billion posted in the same period last year.

The undersecretary said the countrys’ Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Gross National Product (GNP) are at this moment very lively at 5 percent.

We believe that with this swelling development, we can hit GDP and GNP to be somewhat at 7 %, added Panlilio.

He based his assumption on various investment statistics. According to him, just this morning, the stock market has reached a record high of 4,500 points. DTI Center for Industrial Competitiveness Executive Director Virgilio P. Fulgencio supported this by saying this is due to favorable ratings that the country is now enjoying from credit rating agencies such as Moodys and Fitch.

In the meantime, Undersecretary Panlilio divulged the 2011 Investment Priority Plan comprising of 13 priority sectors to include agriculture agribusiness and fishery, creative industries, shipbuilding, mass housing, energy, infrastructure, research and development, green projects, tourism, motor vehicle transportation, mining, strategic projects and projects under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) program.

Undersecretary Panlilio highlighted the inclusion of motor vehicle transportation and mining as major additions to the list. We included them to show how important their contributions are to the countrys economy, he stressed.

The motor vehicle was originally listed under the Strategic Project, but industry players are complaining of stringent requirements under the said heading including an investment of $300 million, employment of 1,000 workers or the introduction of new technology to avail of BoI incentives.

Panlilio said the motor vehicle transportation list will have a separate implementing rules and regulations that would be in line with the requirements under the Motor Vehicle Development Program (MVDP).

While on mining, Panlilio said the industry is included in both the priority list and the mandatory listing because it has specific law The Mining Act.

Panlilio added that the listing of mining under the priority list is meant to extend incentives to mining projects that are not granted under the Mining Act. (JPL GHQ)

Hey Ladies, I just wanted to give you a heads up to those of you that loves forever 21 but could never really find things to fit your body size. A lot of times what people consider plus sizes is absurd because that could just mean XL which forever 21 didn’t seem to carry much of or it was almost impossible to find. I know some people that just hated hearing Forever 21 because they knew they wouldn’t be able to find anything. Well ladies, that’s no more. They finally have clothes to fit all types of body shapes and sizes. So definitely check it out and see what they have.

Hey everyone, sorry I’m late, because I know all of you that missed it are waiting to find out who went home tonight on dancing with the stars. I honestly thought that Ty, the cowboy, would have gone home tonight but he is definitely safe for another week. Tonight we had to say goodbye to the lovely couple, Chuck Wicks and his girlfriend Julianne Hough, they did a good job last night but I guess they didn’t have enough support of their fans to put them through unlike Melissa Rycroft and her partner, who should be back next week with the new treatments she’s trying, so hopefully she comes back in full effect next week. Lil Kim of course was the first to be announced safe, which was nice since she had the highest scores of the night, last night and did a pretty incredible job, even though she seems to be getting a shade lighter every week (don’t know if you guys noticed). Then came Ty and then Gilles which seemed a bit scared and then came Shawn and of course Melissa, which should be very thankful to her supporting fans.

So I hear this a lot, were not in a serious relationship, were just getting to know each other. Fair enough, but does this mean that you should be getting to know a lot of different people while in this stage in the game. Meaning if your dating someone, and have yet declared yourself to be “exclusive” then should you be able to date others, maybe to see who it is you like best and then go from there. Well in a situation like this I think it really depends on you and the person your dating. Now, I don’t know how comfortable it would be asking the other person if they have a problem with you dating other people until you know that their serious about a relationship but some people actually do talk about it. Others don’t feel like they have any explanations to give and do it anyhow, while a few just decide that if their going to date this person than the least they can do is give this person their undivided attention. Me personally, I fall in the last category. I would like to give just one person my attention until I can decide for me whether I would like for it to be something more or nothing at all. But then again this is just me. Some people feel that if they are on a search to find the one then it’s best if they not waste anytime and date, date, date and date some more until they can make that decision. In a situation like that I would definitely be cautious and I find out how the other person that you may want to get serious be feels about it because you may potentially lose out on what may have been your soulmate.

So TTWTA readers, what do you think, should a person be allowed to date multiple people at a time?
