P1.26 Billion Drone Hub Proposed in Aurora by APECO and Anglicotech
What happened
The Aurora Pacific Economic Zone and Freeport Authority (APECO) signed a memorandum of understanding with Anglicotech Philippines Inc. to explore a P1.26 billion dual-use drone hub in Casiguran, Aurora. The proposed facility, which has an initial investment estimated at $20 million, would serve both civilian and defense applications. Anglicotech already provides logistics, command and control, communications, computers, cyber, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C5ISR), and foreign military sales support to the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
