Tan, President of the Columban College Alumni Association, High School Batch 1963, finds the incredible growth of Balanga City with radiating European architectural landscape in the city proper as another milestone toward a healthy economic atmosphere for the historic peninsula.
According to Tan, he is not a mere tourist in the Province adding that he has visited here several times and gone to historical sites and beach resorts in the twelve towns when a close relative married a local lass in the early ‘70s. The former agricultural province is now being categorized as a high pitched profitable investment hub, with the growing number of fast food and retail merchandising outlets, commercial banks, commercial centers and other highly-sophisticated coffee shops and services .
Tan expects economic boom in Bataan in the coming years with the full operation of the five ecozones located in Mariveles, Limay, Morong and Hermosa towns .
Aside from the massive infusion of fresh investments from local and foreign locators, increased demand for highly-technical and professional job opportunities for the residents and neighboring provinces are also expected in the near future, Tan added.
