BAGUIO -- This year is a vibrant year for the Philippines, despite surveys showed that many Filipinos complain that not much has changed in their lives.

The increasing number of investors particularly in the outsourcing and tourism industries would show that the country’s economy is robust, said US Ambassador Kristie Kenney, in a party at the US Ambassadors residence in Camp John Hay.

With a vibrant economy, Kenney said the US government would assist in strengthening the trade development of Mindanao.

Kenney said members of the US Congress will be coming over to the country next year, to see how far the US government has done in their assistance programs.
