Clark Development Corp. seeks Pampanga business integration into supply chains
What happened
During the 85th General Membership Meeting of the Pampanga Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc. in San Fernando, Clark Development Corp. president and CEO Agnes VST Devanadera stated that the Luzon Economic Corridor requires Pampanga businesses to be included in the value chain. CDC is working with the Chamber to map Pampanga’s business capabilities and match local partners with investors. The Clark Freeport Zone currently hosts 1,295 locators and 151,593 direct jobs, with P372 billion in actual investments, according to CDC figures.

Why it matters
CDC is seeking greater participation from Pampanga enterprises in the supply chains of Clark locators. Devanadera noted that increasing purchases from domestic suppliers could extend Clark’s economic impact beyond the Freeport, as foreign companies evaluate production processes and inputs. This initiative aims to generate employment outside the Freeport.
