MANILA, Philippines — Despite huge challenges it faces, the Philippines carries a lot of potential and can improve its already robust economic performance, according to US Ambassador to the Philippines Sung Kim. According to Kim, the Philippines has a lot of potential as a country since it has a young, hardworking and English-speaking population and great natural resources. But I also sense that there is tremendous potential here in the Philippines," Kim said in an interview in ANC's Early Edition. Kim said that the Philippine economy could still perform better, and he hoped that the United States would be a "key partner" in this development. Likewise I think it will be good for Philippine industry to look for opportunities in the United States," the envoy said.
