We conferred with the chief executive regarding an ecozone being organized at a premier city in Region 1. All that they can say is to invite locators from a nearby city which is sinking due to liquificat=ction
Can we make theis a manufacturing hub? It has no shipping port which is conducive to manufacturing. The nearest are in Subic and Poro Point. But they are near and are 2 - 4 hours away. About 200 km away.
My eldest that their ecozone should be focussed on a niche or indusrty. One that does not require huge cap ex from the govt. One such sector is IT: data, cloud center. Cyber zone. Where you can outsuruce IT jobs like programming and apps Many excellent workers in BPO and IT and MM are from Pangasinan.
But of course the power supply from the grid and IT (fiber optics link) have to be upgraded.
