“The security of the Clark Freeport Zone is one of its strategic advantages compared to other zones. CCTV cameras are located in strategic areas and the main Freeport zone is also fenced,” he said.

“Let’s talk about accessibility. Foreign travelers have quick access to Clark either through Manila or directly from Clark International Airport. As you can see, it is also linked to other countries that could have access to the airport,” he added.

To further elaborate about the airport, Clark International Airport Corporation (CIAC) Officer-in-Charge Darwin L. Cunanan also prepared a presentation to show the world-class Clark International Airport to the delegation before heading for the tour.

The visit of the European Union Delegation to the Clark Freeport Zone and Subic Bay Freeport Zone aims to strengthen the relationship between the European Union and the Philippines.

The said event was supported by the CIAC and CDC-Business Development and Business Enhancement Group (BDBEG) officers. CDC and SCAD are committed to further promote economic growth and development not only in the Freeport zones, but the entire region.
