Duterte said that, if more Saudi investors come to the Philippines, the government could give them “the best place to go about earning.”

“Business is business, and anytime that you feel that there is a promise of business in my country, feel free,” he said. “We give you the best incentives and the best environment that we can offer for you… Maybe, through our Cabinet members and secretaries, we can just select what type of investments that you may want to introduce into my country and would really be available.” /atm
