PBBM: MEDICAL GLOVE COMPANY’S PLANNED PH INVESTMENT TO CREATE 2,000 JOBS FOR PINOYS

THE Medical Glove Company’s (USMGC) planned investment in the country could create 2,000 jobs for Filipinos, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. said after he met company officials in New York on Monday (New York time).

In a social media post earlier, President Marcos said, “I met with the US Medical Glove Company to discuss their plans to build a medical glove manufacturing facility in the country.   The project could create more than 2,000 jobs for our kababayans.”

“It will also allow us to produce essential medical supplies locally and open new opportunities in the growing global medical manufacturing industry,” the President further said.

The Chief Executive’s meeting with USMGC officials took place on the sidelines of his participation in a United Nations event, where he delivered a national statement at the Commission on the State of Women.

The investment of the American company is important in strengthening local capacities for medical-grade supplies, with the government expressing support to industries that enhance health security and supply chain stability.

The Philippines is in a good position amid the USMGC planned investment considering its young workforce and industrial base.
