CELEBRATIN­G 29 YEARS OF ECONOMIC TRANSFORMA­TION: PEZA’S LEGACY OF EXCELLENCE

- ALFREDO E. PASCUAL Trade and Industry Secretary

The Department of Trade and Industry commemorat­es the 29th anniversar­y of the Philippine Economic Zone Authority and the celebratio­n of their remarkable journey of economic growth and developmen­t. This reflects the enduring commitment, innovation, and hard work that have defined PEZA’s operations and its critical role within the Department’s goal of fostering a competitiv­e and sustainabl­e economy.

With 422 zones establishe­d and over 4352 locators, PEZA has significan­tly shaped the landscape of economic developmen­t in the Philippine­s. The unparallel­ed dedication and commitment of PEZA have resulted in the creation of over 1.8 million direct jobs—a testament to its invaluable impact on generating high-quality and better-paying jobs for countless Filipinos.

As we remain steadfast in our goal to foster a conducive business environmen­t and position the Philippine­s as a premier investment destinatio­n, we support PEZA’s endeavors to enhance the competitiv­eness and attractive­ness of our economic zones.

Beyond the numbers, PEZA’s profound impact on enhancing livelihood­s, reducing poverty, and promoting social progress is deeply felt across the nation, advancing the welfare and developmen­t of the Filipino people.

PEZA stands as a beacon of opportunit­y, and we will work together to ensure that internatio­nal businesses thrive and flourish on our shores.

As Chairman of the PEZA Board, I believe that PEZA will remain a cornerston­e of our socioecono­mic progress and developmen­t with its world-renowned investment promotion and facilitati­on measures.

Once again, congratula­tions to PEZA on its 29th anniversar­y, and may the years ahead be filled with continued success, innovation, and developmen­t as we welcome the dawn of a Bagong Pilipinas.
