Investment competitiveness goes beyond land and infrastructureβit requires a coordinated pathway from registration to operations.
The Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) and Aboitiz Economic Estates are advancing EaseBiz, an investor-support initiative that has assisted more than two dozen PEZA registration cases since 2022.
PEZA Director General Tereso O. Panga said, βPEZA remains committed to enhancing ease of doing business in our ecozones so that investor confidence translates into concrete projects, jobs and exports.β
Aboitiz Economic Estates President and CEO Rafael Fernandez de Mesa emphasized, βInvestment readiness comes from bringing together all of the solutions investors needβindustrial land, infrastructure, reliable utilities, talent, regulatory guidance and continuing support.β
The initiative supports an industrial estate network with over 260 locators and more than 100,000 jobs nationwide, alongside β±167 billion in cumulative foreign direct investments reported in its 2025 annual report.
The next phase will align EaseBiz with PEZAβs The One Portal System and expand registration assistance.
