The semiconductor and electronics sector is the top performer in the Philippines' merchandise exports, accounting for about 60% of the total export turnover.
The Southeast Asia country is recognised as a critical player in the global semiconductor value chain, particularly in assembly and packaging.
Marcos said the Philippines looks forward to playing a role in the research and development, advanced assembly, packaging, and test requirements of the semiconductor industry.
This volume attests to the quality of the Filipino workforce, which is young, highly skilled, fast learners, creative, productive, adaptable to diverse cultures, he added./.
