Following three key infrastructure projects inaugurated last month, APECO has also found a new home in Manila: Parqal, Paranaque. In expecting to host more locators and investors, APECO shall be inaugurating the new Manila-based Satellite Office tomorrow, 13 March 2025.

Situated in the heart of ASEANA City, the office facility offers a pristine and well-organized environment that’s designed to enhance productivity and collaboration.
Beyond aesthetics, the new office embodies APECO’s vision of fostering a business-friendly environment that aligns with international standards. The well-maintained facilities, organized workspaces, and welcoming atmosphere create a strong first impression for visiting investors. In their new home, APECO aims to bolster its position as a premier destination for enterprises looking to establish operations in the country.
Other matters that were also discussed during the meeting were the establishment of APECO’s Special Lane Unit (SLU) aimed at giving locators and investors unrivaled government assistance as they establish themselves in the Philippines, the operations and management of the APECO Super Health Center, rehabilitation and renovation of other APECO assets, the roadmap for the APECO Airport development, the progress of the APECO Grand Lagoon Project, and updates on Ready for Fit Out (RFFO) and Ready for Occupancy (RFO) Offices units, to name a few. The seamless flow of the meeting showed that the office is ready to accommodate and host business leaders and potential locators who seek to engage with APECO.
Moving forward, APECO plans to maximize its modern office space by hosting more meetings, investor briefings, and collaborative events. The recent executive meeting marked the beginning of a new chapter where business and innovation can thrive in a setting designed for success.
