Bataan 2nd District Rep. Albert Garcia authored the Republic Act 9728, also known as the FAB law which about to convert Bataan Economic Zone (BEZ) into FAB.

Local official of Mariveles, leaded by Mayor Jesse Concepcion, agrees with FAB as envisioned by Garcia since, the project will attract many multinational companies and elevate the town as a bustling industrial center again.

With the creation of BEZ in Mariveles, natives and migrants was filled up thousands of jobs at the economic zone, and lots of business establishments started operation.

However, the administrative neglect of the Philippine Export Zone Authority, supervising agency of BEZ and other external factors, stunted the growth of the economic zone.

And with FAB Mariveles will become a bustling industrial center again and thousands of jobs will be available. It will resurge back the industrial prominence Mariveles enjoyed in the past and alleviate the economic condition of residents here.

With the expected location of many companies soon at the free port zone, it is easy to calculate the positive economic impact it can bring to the province, particularly to the host town Mariveles.

This huge project of the governed will make Bataan a significant international logistic hub in the Asian region. [via businessmirror.com.ph]
