CLARK FREEPORT ZONE,Pampanga, Sept. 22 (PNA) - Clark Development Corporation (CDC) President Felipe Antonio B. Remollo on Thursday urged mayors under the Island Cluster of Mindanao to include Clark in their respective "Lakbay Aral" programs. | |||
Speaking before the Mindanao mayors during the two-day conference of the League of Municipalities of the Philippines at the Hotel Stotsenberg here, Remollo said the local government officials could learn many things from the development of Pinatubo-stricken areas on how the people and government officials turned tragedies into opportunities. | |||
Mindanao cluster is made up of 401 mayors in six regions, including the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM). | |||
The September 21-22 conference is dubbed as "United Mindanao". Remollo said the tremendous transformation of Clark and the neighboring towns and cities from the experiences of the twin disasters of Mt. Pinatubo eruption and the eventual pullout of the Americans forces from the former Clark Air Base, could be adopted for the many municipalities in Mindanao. | |||
He also said that like Mindanao, Central Luzon, especially Pampanga, did not only experience the catastrophic effect of Mt. Pinatubo eruption, but also from armed conflicts from various rebel groups in the '60s, '70s and '80s. | |||
But today, Clark is a haven of investment and sports-tourism destination in the region with more than 62,000 workers and more than $ 1 billion export volume every year. | |||
He asked the mayors to visit the various areas in Clark such as the odorless and only environment compliant sanitary landfill, the various manufacturing firms, the airport and enjoy other available products that the Freeport zone is known for. | |||
Remollo, who was also a mayor of Dumaguete City, told the local government officials that “no cellphone is without part that did not come from Clark” as most glass panel and touchscreen were manufactured by firms inside the Freeport. | |||
The conference were sponsored by Gov. Lilia Pineda and the Pampanga Mayors League headed by Candaba Mayor Jerry Pelayo. | |||
