𝐂𝐄𝐙 𝟓𝐌 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐫 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐟𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐙𝐨𝐧𝐞

Recognizing that the success of ecozones is anchored on the well-being of their workers the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA), through the Cavite Economic Zone (CEZ), has launched the 𝐂𝐄𝐙 𝟓𝐌 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦, a holistic worker welfare initiative focused on Mental, Mastery, Medical, Money, and Mobility. Designed to support workers both inside and outside the workplace, the program reflects PEZA's commitment to building a productive, resilient, and empowered workforce.

The CEZ 5M program brings together five key dimensions of worker welfare into one coordinated framework, recognizing that workers’ well-being extends beyond wages and productivity. By promoting mental wellness, skills development, access to healthcare, financial literacy, and safe and sustainable mobility, the initiative aims to enhance quality of life while strengthening workforce competitiveness and resilience.

The six memoranda of understanding (MOUs) anchoring the program were signed on 8 September 2026 at the PEZA Investment and Corporate Center in Pasay City by PEZA Director General Tereso O. Panga and Cavite Economic Zone Administrator Atty. Ross Vincent S. Sy, together with representatives from the program’s partner institutions and organizations.

Through these partnerships, CEZ is bringing these services closer to the thousands of workers who contribute daily to the operations and continued growth of the economic zone.

𝙏𝙝𝙚 5𝙈 𝙋𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙧𝙨

Under the 𝙈𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙥𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙧, CEZ has partnered with The Master's Theological Seminary International (TMTSI), headed by President Bishop Allan L. Lopez and Chairman Bishop Celso M. San Jose, to provide voluntary, non-clinical, values-based mental wellness and psychosocial support activities for workers, consistent with the Department of Health’s National Policy Framework on Community-Based Mental Health (CBMH).

The 𝙈𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙥𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙧 focuses on learning and skills development. Through partnerships with Informatics Philippines, represented by Executive Vice President Dr. Zorayda V. Ang and Vice President for Academic Affairs Ms. Yolanda A. Soliveres and St. Dominic College of Asia, Inc. headed by Dr. Gregorio A. Andaman, Jr., MHA and VP for Operations, Atty. Lorille J. Leones, workers are provided opportunities for college education, technical-vocational training, and continuing upskilling, creating pathways for professional and personal growth.

For the 𝙈𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙥𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙧, CEZ has partnered with Universal-Care Medical Clinic represented by Owner Sylvia L. Indita, to bring healthcare services closer to workers. These include medical consultations, laboratory and diagnostic services, pharmacy facilities, and a roving mobile clinic that can provide services closer to the workplace.

The 𝙈𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙮 𝙥𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙧 addresses another important aspect of worker welfare: financial resilience. In partnership with Templetech Finance Corp. (Tendo by Tonik), led by President and CEO Michael Ashwin S. Singh with Head of Business Development Carl Roberto Hernandez during the signing, CEZ is making financial literacy initiatives available to workers, covering practical areas such as budgeting, saving, responsible borrowing, and financial safety.

Meanwhile, the 𝙈𝙤𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙥𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙧 seeks to make workers’ daily commute safer, more affordable, and more sustainable. Through partnerships with Unified Ecozones of the Philippines, Inc. (Batang Ecozone), led by President Jerenato B. Alfante, and Sazgar Philippines, with Chairman Rajan B. Gidwani, CEZ is transitioning toward an electric-vehicle transport system for workers travelling to and from the Zone.

𝙁𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝘾𝙀𝙕 𝙩𝙤 𝙊𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙋𝙀𝙕𝘼 𝙀𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙘 𝙕𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙨

While the 5M Program will be first implemented at CEZ, PEZA envisions the initiative as a scalable framework that may be adopted, in whole or in part, by other public ecozones across the country.

To support the broader roll-out, institutions currently partnering with PEZA under the 5M Program, as well as organizations offering similar worker-focused programs, are encouraged to collaborate with public ecozones interested in adopting comparable programs.

PEZA may also facilitate linkage between interested institutions and other Special Economic Zones (SEZ), helping create opportunities for partnerships that can extend worker welfare programs beyond CEZ.

𝙋𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙯𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙘𝙚

Notably, the program also puts into action one of PEZA’s non-negotiables: the protection of the rights and welfare of workers which serves as integral pillar to building competitive and sustainable ecozones.

“For PEZA, the protection of the rights and welfare of our workers is always a non-negotiable. And the 5M Program translates that commitment into practical services and opportunities that workers can access in their everyday lives. By bringing together partners from different sectors, we can expand support for our workforce without adding cost to government.” PEZA Director General Tereso O. Panga said.

CEZ Zone Administrator Atty. Ross Vincent S. Sy added that the pilot test at CEZ will allow PEZA to identify initiatives that may be effectively scaled across its ecozone network.

“We want the 5M Program to be practical and accessible to workers - from getting to work and accessing healthcare to learning new skills and managing their finances. CEZ gives us the opportunity to see these partnerships work on the ground and build on what delivers results,” Sy said.

Through the 𝘾𝙀𝙕 5𝙈 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙢, PEZA underscores a fundamental belief: that the true measure of economic success lies not only in investments generated, but in lives improved. By ensuring that investment growth goes hand in hand with worker welfare, resilience, and inclusive development, PEZA is building economic zones where businesses thrive, workers prosper, and communities grow stronger together.
