#48 [ASEAN]🏙️ When Manila Comes to Singapore: Conversations Beyond Borders 【东盟聚焦】🏙️ 马尼拉在新加坡：跨国界的对话

Caught up with seasoned business associates Manuel Arbues II and Sheryl Lee from Ayala Land, Inc., who brought with them more than just corporate decks — they brought a vision of the Philippines rising.

📊 5.4% GDP growth in Q1 2025 — steady and resilient, outpacing Q4 2024.

👷 75.8M working-age Filipinos, 96.2% employed, average age just 28 — one of Asia’s youngest and most dynamic labor forces.

🚇 The Metro Manila Subway Project will span 33km, connecting economic centers.

📉 Inflation at just 1.4% (June 2025) signals macroeconomic stability.

🌴 World-class destinations like Boracay, Cebu, Siargao — and El Nido ranked 1st in PH, 2nd in Asia — reaffirm the Philippines as a tourism powerhouse.

💸 $34.5B in remittances, No.1 in ASEAN, helping sustain consumption and uplifting 8.5% of GDP.

Meanwhile, Ayala Land Inc. isn’t just building property — it’s shaping an integrated future:

From Ayala Premier to Amaia, spanning luxury to affordable housing.
58 estates, 32 malls, 11 resorts, REITs, logistics hubs, and co-working spaces — a complete ecosystem.

📣 Sheryl, it was a pleasure reconnecting. I’d be honored to contribute to Ayala’s ASEAN storytelling — through writing, speaking, or narrative strategy that highlights not just assets, but aspiration.

From Makati to Marina Bay, let’s co-create a story of progress.
