PHILEA - A Word-Class Choice!

About PHILEA

         The Philippine Ecozones Association (PHILEA) was organized in 1990 in response to Government's encouragement to the private sector to assume a more proactive role in industrial estate development.

       Seven private corporations pioneering in industrial estate development composed the initial members of the Association. Considered the crème de la crème in the business, Philea's founding members represented well-planned and fully developed world-class industrial estates offering the best-integrated facilities and services. They ultimately became the premier showcases of Government in its effort to attract foreign investments.

         The dominating presence of PHILEA member-estates in the Cavite - Laguna - Batangas - Rizal - Quezon area was an important reason for the vaunted Calabarzon industrialization, setting new trends and parameters of industrial development for other parts of the country.

        PHILEA remains at the forefront of the country's continuing bid to industrialize. From a group whose initial aim was to strengthen the ranks of colleagues in the same business, the Philea evolved into an entity which actively sets the overall direction and pace of the country's trek toward industrialization.

       The Philippine Government highly recognizes Philea's role in the country's economy that regular consultation and coordination meetings between Executive line agencies and Congress and Philea are held on various issues which impact on the industrial estate sector.

Potential members are being screened according to a set of stringent standards. Philea members must comply with the minimum requirements for industrial estate registration of the Board of Investments (BOI), Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) and the Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB) , thus ensuring that locators in all Philea member-estates are granted the best fiscal incentives in the land.

The development plan of the members' respective estates must strictly adhere to rules and regulations on environmental protection and management. Estates, at the time of registration, must also be 30 percent developed. Finally, it is important that the personalities behind the corporation and estate must be of good reputation and standing. Philea's high regard for quality is never overstated.

Philea does not only ensure that investors are afforded business locations in the country which are world-class...

Philea is THE assurance that the Philippines offers and will continue to offer only the best!
