BOI continues to evaluate several high-ticket projects in the pipeline
The Board of Investments (BOI) recently endorsed 29 projects with a combined investment value of P124.81 billion and expected to generate 4,444 jobs nationwide.
These projects are still subject to confirmation by the BOI Board, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) said in a statement.
With the latest endorsements, total BOI-approved investments for the year will reach P977 billion, still lower than the P1.62 trillion approved in 2024.
Trade secretary Ma. Cristina Roque said BOI continues to evaluate several high-ticket projects in the pipeline. These major investments are undergoing due diligence and are expected to boost the country’s overall investment performance as the year ends and into the next.
Roque earlier said BOI is still assessing 10 more big-ticket, strategic projects worth over P1 trillion.

The 29 endorsed projects span a wide range of priority sectors, including renewable energy, infrastructure, transport and logistics, information technology-business process management (IT-BPM) services, housing, manufacturing, and tourism-related developments.
DTi said a significant share of the total investment value is attributed to large-scale clean energy projects, including wind, solar, waste-to-energy, and battery energy storage facilities across Luzon and the Visayas.
These projects are expected to contribute substantially to the country’s power supply while advancing national goals on energy security, sustainability, and climate resilience.
The endorsed list also includes key transport and connectivity investments, such as new-generation aircraft for domestic and international routes and maritime transport assets that will strengthen inter-island mobility, trade, and tourism. These investments are expected to enhance regional connectivity and support the continued recovery of the transport and travel sectors.
Further, IT-BPM and digital services projects across Metro Manila, Central Luzon, the Cordilleras, and Cebu are projected to generate the bulk of employment, creating thousands of high-quality jobs in customer support, technical services, remote staffing, and managed services. DTi said these developments reinforce the Philippines’ standing as a leading hub for global services.
Complementing these are housing and real estate projects across multiple regions, which will expand access to affordable and economic housing while generating employment in construction and allied industries. Leisure and recreation facilities included in the list are likewise expected to stimulate local economic activity and support community development.
“The steady flow of investments endorsed by the BOI shows that we remain fully engaged in creating jobs and sustaining economic momentum. We are working relentlessly to ensure that investments translate into opportunities for Filipino workers and communities,” Roque said.
