Bataan industrial growth generates business opportunity

BALANGA CITY, Bataan –  A former global shipping manager has observed the exceptional and vibrant industrial growth in the two industrial  Southern Bataan towns of Limay and Mariveles as a big leap toward a positive economic impact for budding entrepreneurs.

Orlando dela Peña, Unioil gasoline station dealer and general manager of a trucking firm here based his analytical observations on the good business perception of having exceptionally high-confidence level coming from locators in the energy allied activities in top industrial centers of the province.

Citing reports of several Metro Manila technical economic teams are gathering substantial information on the preparation of feasibility studies including financial profitability and viability of the investment sites of the three coastal areas of Orion, Limay and Mariveles towns for combined energy projects  that include marketing, distribution, transportation, stockpiling or storage of all forms of petroleum products and resources.

Dela Peña described that corporate executives have been attracted by the government strategic program of transforming industrial estates in the historic peninsula into self-sustaining industrial and commercial hubs for ecological socio-economic development.

The 46-year old shipping manager of RVG shipping Agency in Makati City explained the rapid industrialization and economic progress of Bataan are attributed to the comprehensive development scheme of Governor Albert Raymond S. Garcia and his respected economic advisers of formulating the vision of the province to become the premier investment and eco-industrial sites in Central Luzon.

He said several property leasing commercial and housing developers and transport services operators from Manila and Central Luzon are scouting sites in the province for the establishment of seaport terminals which include energy depots and warehouse facilities.
