And as expected, the media covered the partnership deal between Timothy Guerrero and Jensen Huang like wildfire. From sunrise news programs to primetime broadcasts, every television screen across the country was flashing the same headline in bold letters:
"HISTORIC: Filipino CEO Timothy Guerrero Partners with NVIDIA to Build $22B Semiconductor Foundry."
ABS-CBN, GMA, and CNN Philippines aired special coverage segments, each bringing in economic experts, engineers, and former trade officials to discuss what this meant for the country.
In one studio, the anchor of The Philippine Morning Report could hardly contain her excitement.
"This isn't just business news," she said, eyes gleaming. "This is history in the making. For decades, the Philippines has been a service-based economy—outsourcing, assembly, BPO. But now? We're entering the age of advanced manufacturing."
The camera then cut to an economic analyst sitting across from her.
