MARIVELES, Bataan – AFAB Chairman Custodio expressed support for the project noting that SNPSI will surely help the people on the ground as it brings more investment opportunities to the FAB.
The AFAB administrator noted that his SNPSI counterpart vowed to employ local residents to help in the expansion of the economy of Bataan. He added that with the establishment of the first port in the FAB, more investors are expected to locate in the freeport and give jobs to the people.
“The presence of SNPSI would help in attracting more investors to locate at the FAB as costs of shipment would be reduced,” Chairman Custodio said. “This project gives us confidence to market ourselves to other kind of industries worldwide. With this, we assure SNPSI that you will have the full support of the AFAB,” he added.
Gov. Garcia, meanwhile, also congratulated SNPSI for its port project and thanked the firm for choosing the FAB and trusting the administration of the provincial government and the AFAB.
“The creation of the port is another milestone toward attaining the vision of Bataan and the FAB to be the preferred location of investments and record the highest human development index in the country,” Gov. Garcia said, noting that it would provide easy access for the manufacturing hub to the world market.
