The IPBF is the U.S.’s key business event in the region. President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. was the Guest of Honor for the event. It was likewise attended by senior government and private-sector leaders from the United States and across the Indo-Pacific region, the event aimed to form partnerships and discuss the latest trends, opportunities, and solutions to support infrastructure in the region’s emerging economies. The 6th IPBF was co-hosted by the USTDA and the Philippine Government, in partnership with the U.S. Department of State.
The Poro Point Freeport Zone used to house the former Wallace Air Station. The enactment of Republic Act 7227 (Bases Conversion and Development Act) on March 19, 1992 and Proclamation No. 216 on July 27, 1993 effectively transferred the stewardship of the Freeport to the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) to facilitate its conversion into a productive economic growth center.
