Philippines Government seeks agencies for investment push

MANILA - Several agencies have contested the pitch for a new campaign that seeks to attract higher levels of foreign investment to the Philippines.

BBDO Guerrero Ortega, a key agency for the Department of Tourism (DOT) since 2003, is believed to have pitched against Avellana, Dentsu, Euro RSCG and J Romero & Associates.

The Philippine Convention and Visitors Corporation (PCVC), a unit of the DOT, called a pitch at the beginning of the month via a government tender. A decision is imminent.
