US companies that joined the trade and investment mission organized by President Joe Biden will invest more than $1 billion in the Philippines, according to US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo who leads the delegation.

The US and Philippines alliance is “ironclad,” Raimondo said in a joint briefing by the US group and Philippine officials Monday. The commerce secretary leads an investment mission with about 20 American executives to strengthen economic relations.
