In order for us to work further on your request, we need more information from you regarding your query. If you are requesting for actual amount of foreign direct investments (FDI) in the country, you may visit the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) website at www.bsp.gov.ph or in case you want amount of investments based on approved/committed investments, you may visit website of the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) at www.psa.gov.ph. Approved investments data came from major source agencies such as the BOI, PEZA, CDC, SBMA, etc. However, for the revenue of local and foreign investments, you may coordinate or may inquire from the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR).
