The Board of Investments (BOI) said Wednesday it certified more than 200 strategic investment projects with a combined value of P5.17 trillion under its Green Lane initiative, with renewable energy emerging as the leading sector both in volume and value.
BOI Investments Assistance Service (IA) division chief Lubin de Vera Jr. presented the updated figures during the Data Center Association of the Philippines (DCAP) Executive Roundtable Summit 2025 on April 29, 2025 in Makati City.
BOI One-Stop Action Center for Strategic Investments (OSACSI) director Ernie delos Reyes confirmed that 203 projects were certified across four sectors, including renewable energy, digital infrastructure, and public-private partnerships (PPP), food security and manufacturing.
“Renewable energy leads with 159 projects, making up 78.33 percent of the total and 91.86 percent of the project cost at P4.747 trillion. This sector significantly drives foreign investments with a collective total of P1.35 trillion and is expected to create over 272,000 jobs,” delos Reyes added.
Digital infrastructure and PPPs accounted for nine projects with P364.877 billion in investments, P283.562 billion of which are foreign-funded, with the potential to create more than 20,500 jobs.
Food security, while contributing only 0.36 percent of total investment value, includes 31 projects focused on community initiatives with ₱18.69 billion in investments and an estimated 7,319 jobs.
Manufacturing, with four certified projects worth P36.905 billion, is forecast to generate nearly 4,000 jobs.
The BOI’s Green Lane initiative, created under Executive Order No. 18, is designed to fast-track high-impact investments by streamlining inter-agency coordination and cutting red tape at both the national and local levels.
