"I know that I can count on each of you to help promote our country as an investment destination—one that is safe, that is orderly, and proactive; and one that can uphold the rights and welfare of our investors and consumers to their mutual benefits," he added. In his speech, Marcos recognized SEC's contributions as a reliable regulator of corporate and capital markets and a staunch protector of the people's investments.
He further said that its openness to achieving digital transformation has been integral to fostering business formation and for growth.
