President Bongbong Marcos met with Mitsubishi Corporation President and CEO Katsuya Nakanishi at Malacañang Palace on February 2, 2026, as the administration highlighted investment discussions tied to transportation, energy, and digital services.
In a statement posted on his official Facebook page, Marcos said the meeting focused on advancing investments that could create more jobs, help deliver faster and more reliable subway and railway systems, and expand clean wind energy in the provinces. He framed the talks around projects that translate directly into improvements people feel in daily life, particularly in mobility, energy access, and service efficiency.
Marcos linked transport development with broader economic goals, pointing to the role of mass transit in easing congestion and improving reliability. He also cited the expansion of clean wind energy outside Metro Manila, placing emphasis on provincial development rather than concentrating growth in urban centers alone. Alongside infrastructure and energy, Marcos said the efforts discussed would strengthen digital services, which he described as making everyday transactions easier for Filipinos.
The President tied the meeting to his administration’s continuing effort to build what he referred to as a Bagong Pilipinas. His remarks focused on practical outcomes, highlighting job creation, infrastructure performance, renewable energy expansion, and service delivery, without announcing specific projects, timelines, or investment figures.
Photos shared with the post showed Marcos and Nakanishi in a formal meeting inside Malacañang, including a handshake and group photos with officials. The images underscored the official nature of the engagement and its inclusion in the President’s working schedule.
The Palace confirmed the date and location of the meeting in the same post. Marcos presented the discussion as part of ongoing engagement with major international companies, positioning investment talks as groundwork for future initiatives in transport, energy, and digital services.
