“We share our locator partners’ concerns, and we remain committed to helping them survive and recover swiftly from this ongoing health and economic crisis,” AboitizLand Industrial business unit head Eduardo Aboitiz said.
“We believe that this assistance, along with the support we have extended over the past 25 years, will be reciprocated by our locators through their continued commitment to the Philippines and to the people of Cebu,” Aboitiz added.
“It’s important that we work together in this changing business dynamic to help keep the economy moving and continue to provide employment to those depending on the industrial zone for livelihood,” Aboitiz said.
MEZ 2 employs 14,000 skilled workers in 49 multinational companies belonging in light to medium industries that include precision instruments, medical equipment, communication and electronics, automotive supplies, apparel and furniture.
Established in 1995 in partnership with the MCIAA, the 63-hectare Philippine Economic Zone Authority-registered MEZ 2 in Lapu-Lapu City highlights Cebu in the global export market.
The industrial zone is part of a sprawling mixed-use estate, which also houses a commercial corporate building that complements the retail and recreational lifestyle elements of the Pueblo Verde shopping complex, which has over 70 retail stores, services and restaurants, as well as a transit hub.
