Description:
The event focused on fostering collaboration between the business sector and local government units to unlock new investment opportunities within the province. It aimed to establish partnerships with local economic operators while also providing a platform for potential investors to learn about the Province of La Union. As part of the program, Ms. Eliza Maconocido, PPMC’s Business Development Manager, showcased business ventures within the Poro Point Freeport Zone, emphasizing the area’s strong growth potential and role in fostering regional economic development.
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.
