The Philippine Economic Zone Authority has recognized government agencies, industry leaders, and civil society groups that have partnered with them in promoting the country’s ecozones and competitiveness in efforts to make it a premier investment hub in Asia.
PEZA Director General Charito Plaza said the awardees’ efforts cover areas in economic zone development, investments promotion, community projects, policy, and legislative actions or advocacies aimed at the overall goal to fully industrialize and promote the Philippines as an investments haven in Asia.
IPAs are government entities in charge of promoting investments, administering tax and non-tax incentives, as well as overseeing the operations of the different economic and Freeport zones per their respective charters. On the other hand, industry associations, various stakeholders, and foreign chambers of commerce have been awarded for their unceasing efforts as PEZA’s outstanding partners and locator companies.
