Because, as investors start their company within a country, it would need a workforce

information to research and development that would actually benefit their own country’s
production. FDI does not only give benefits to individuals but it also brings positive
outcomes to the state. It may be through FDI that one country’s transportation system be
developed and improved. All in all, FDI will help in the advancement of a country’s
economy.
But there are also cons FDI may bring to a state. If more FDI would invest in a country,
then there’s a possibility of creating an influx of domestic concerns presumably due to the
negligence of domestic businesses and practices. It may also cause a political sway in a
country because there may be a chance of an interference from that foreign investor’s
government. FDI does generate a lot of opportunities for people; however, if one nation
depends too much on this then it would cause a shock and possibly be detrimental to a

with China must be fully considered. On the resurgence of a flourishing RP-PRC bilateral
ties, China might help in maintaining and increasing the economic progress of the
Philippines. It is a win-win situation somehow for both countries. Philippines must also
