Qatari Firm Commits $3 Billion to Philippine Tech, Healthcare and Real Estate

Big money could soon flow into the Philippines.

Doha-headquartered JTA International Investment Holding has pledged at least $3 billion for potential projects across the country, with a focus on IT, healthcare, construction, and tourism.

The announcement was made during a media briefing organized by the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry, which has been helping position the Philippines as a prime investment destination.

Cebu Gets First Cut

JTA has already opened an office in Cebu, signaling serious intent.

Two projects are lined up in the province, covering real estate and tourism assets such as hotels and resorts. Around $1 billion — roughly a third of the total pledged fund — has been earmarked for these Cebu ventures, pending approvals.

Tech Hub Talks in Clark

The firm is also in discussions with Converge ICT Solutions for a proposed technology hub in Clark, Pampanga.

A memorandum of understanding between the two sides is expected to be signed soon, potentially adding a major tech boost outside Metro Manila.

Hospital Project Outside Metro Manila

Healthcare is also on the radar. JTA is considering funding a hospital project outside the capital, part of its broader push into the sector.

Founder and CEO Dr. Amir Ali Salemi said he hopes to kick off at least one JTA-backed project in the Philippines by the fourth quarter of the year.

Why This Matters

For a fast-growing economy like the Philippines, fresh foreign investment means new jobs, infrastructure upgrades, and stronger regional development.

With billions on the table and projects spread across tech, tourism, and healthcare, this could be one of the bigger investment plays to watch this year.
