During the 4th PhilippineSingapore Business and Investment Summit in Singapore, Finance Secretary Ralph Recto said Singapore's role has never been more crucial as the Philippines moves to enhance its logistics backbone and human capital through various investments.

Recto said the country needs more of Singapore's expertise and technology for the 186 flagship infrastructure projects especially after the passage of the PPP Code.

"We invite you to submit unsolicited proposals, respond to solicited ones or explore more joint ventures with us," Recto said.
