It added that the Philippines should increase investments instead of solely relying on remittances from overseas Filipino workers and the business process outsourcing industry. IMF resident representative to the Philippines Shanaka Jayanath Peiris, however, clarified that there is nothing wrong with the remittances and BPO, but stressed that the country’s investment diversity needs to be improved. Remittances and BPO revenues contribute around USD50bn to the Philippine economy annually.
