The meeting was also attended by Provincial Government of La Union (PGLU) Governor Mario Eduardo C. Ortega, alongside representatives from the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), the Philippine Navy (PN), the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS), and the Regional Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (RDRRMC).
The meeting highlighted potential energy exploration initiatives and infrastructure development opportunities within the Poro Point Freeport Zone (PPFZ).

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.
