@bworldph Mr. Concepcion: If governments and businesses work together, we can overcome today's challenges, protect the vulnerable sectors, and create more opportunities, ensuring that no sector, no economy, and no one in ASEAN is left behind. | @bworldph #BusinessWorldEconomicForum

@bworldph Mr. Concepcion: ASEAN-BAC will also focus on digital transformation, MSME development, women economic empowerment, and the creative economy to help ASEAN stay future-ready. | @bworldph #BusinessWorldEconomicForum #AdvancingtheAseanAgenda

@beltranbjorn @bworldph Mr. Concepcion: Prosperity for all means keeping food moving, energy flowing, and business running, especially during times of crisis. This is why we must keep trade open, protect supply chains, and support SMEs. | @bworldph #BusinessWorldEconomicForum #AdvancingTheAseanAgenda

@bworldph Mr. Concepcion: Two of these priorities focus on food, because food security is closely linked to supply chains, and it is the issue of people that feel most directly across the ASEAN. | @bworldph #BusinessWorldEconomicForum #AdvancingtheAseanAgenda

@beltranbjorn @letsgonegosyo @bworldph Mr. Concepcion: Open, fair, and digital trade is essential if ASEAN wants to remain competitive in an evolving global economy. | @bworldph #BusinessWorldEconomicForum #AdvancingTheAseanAgenda

@bworldph Mr. Marcelo, tips for MSMEs: There are many tools out there, and you need to know where to go for what. The easiest place to start is join the chambers, for example. Do your networking. Maximize those opportunities. | @bworldph #BusinessWorldEconomicForum #AdvancingtheAseanAgenda

@bworldph Mr. Albano: We're actually already integrated with all of these cross-border platforms. Filipinos can pay for their suppliers abroad using GCash outbound remittance services. | @bworldph #BusinessWorldEconomicForum #AdvancingtheAseanAgenda
