During the evening of September 9, 2026, Stratbase Institute President and CEO Prof. Dindo Manhit was given an exclusive invitation to attend the Luzon Economic Corridor (LEC) Investment Forum Welcome Cocktails at Ayuntamiento de Manila. The high-level event served as an intimate networking platform ahead of the main forum, and it brought together senior investors and partners to build relationships that translate into concrete commercial partnerships along the Subic Bay–Clark–Metro Manila–Batangas corridor. 

Investments from strategic partners should serve as catalysts for strengthening Philippine industries – expanding domestic manufacturing, integrating local businesses into supply chains, advancing Filipino technological expertise, and enhancing the country’s competitiveness in the global economy. 

Stratbase welcomes this initiative from like-minded partners, which will bring investment-led, job-generating economic growth to the Philippines.
