Marcos Jr. issues proclamation creating new special ecozone in Tanza

An economic zone may contain any or all of the following: Industrial Estates (IEs), Export Processing Zones (EPZs), Free Trade Zones, and Tourist/Recreational Centers.

Another special economic zone is expected to be established in Cavite after President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. signed a proclamation on Monday.

In Proclamation No. 513, Marcos Jr. designated at least 40 hectares of land to be part of the MetroCas Industrial Estates Special Economic Zone in Tanza, Cavite.

In a separate proclamation, the Chief Executive also issued another order to use at least 12 hectares of land to create Arcovia City, an Information Technology Park in Ugong, Pasig City.

Special ecozones are areas designated by the government to be a place of balanced agricultural, industrial, commercial, and recreational community.

Under Republic Act No. 7916, or the Special Economic Zone Act of 1995, as amended, the President may create such economic zones upon the recommendation of the Board of Directors of the Philippine Economic Zone Authority.

Pandays in Kawit hope to keep industry going

In the old days, Kawit had a lot of skilled pandays or blacksmiths who made itak and bolo which were used for war for freedom during the 19th century. Sadly, the once booming industry is now a dying business in Cavite. Nanay Marissa, who acquired the foundry from her husband’s ancestors, showed us the art of blacksmithing and the traditional way of making such crafted weapons. These blacksmiths were able to support their children in their studies by this craft.
