The Aboitiz Group fully supports the appeal of the Department of Trade and Industry to prioritize the use of local materials in the administration’s Build, Build, Build (BBB) program to help jumpstart the economy and sustain jobs for Filipinos amid the health crisis.
Aboitiz, which is into cement manufacturing and property development, reiterated its support to government initiatives, boasting its capability to provide unhampered services, as well as competitive and quality products.
“As the country heals and slowly recovers from the current pandemic, the Aboitiz Group continues to look for ways to also address the economic impact of this health crisis. We will keep on investing resources to help the government fire up the economy through solutions and products that are proudly Filipino backed by global expertise,” said company president and chief executive officer Sabin Aboitiz.
“We envision a Philippines with strong and durable infrastructure that will serve Filipinos for generations to come,” he added.
The DTI has pushed for the use of local construction materials in BBB and other national and local infrastructure projects.
