The Philippine Star
|November 28, 2025

Mayor Isko Moreno cited on Wednesday a Bureau of Permits data that indicate businessmen and entrepreneurs “continue to bet on Manila,” even as external risks weigh on the Philippine outlook.
Of the 55,924 registered businesses in the capital, 1,390 have retired while 7,265 have sought new business registrations. The figures represent a 2.48-percent retirement rate and 12.99-percent registration rate, respectively.
