The Aurora Pacific Economic Zone and Freeport Authority (APECO) continues to attract strong interest from local and foreign firms as it advances key infrastructure and sustainability initiatives within the Casiguran-based ecozone.
APECO President and CEO Atty. Gil G. Taway IV recently held a high-level meeting with South Korean firm Shintaeyang Construction and Filipino company Soliman E.C. Environmental Solutions, Inc. as they both explore potential opportunities in APECO.
Shintaeyang Construction President Cheon Sik Yang expressed the company's keen interest in the development of the APECO Airport and the Casiguran seaport, recognizing the ecozone’s strategic role as a gateway to the Pacific. The company has over 20 years of experience in civil engineering.
Meanwhile, Soliman E.C. Environmental Solutions President Epitacio C. Soliman Jr. signified its intent to support the enhancement of APECO’s waste management systems. Building on existing infrastructure such as the sewage treatment plant (STP) and materials recovery facility (MRF), the company is looking at scalable solutions that can benefit not only the ecozone but the broader region.
Also present during the meetings was Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) Assistant Secretary Elmer G. Cato and Korean Chamber of Commerce Philippines Senior Manager Young Hwan Choi, who conveyed strong support for APECO’s renewed direction and expressed optimism for its future growth.
APECO also extends its appreciation to the Philippine-Indonesia Business Council chairman of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry Mr. N. Mark Castro for facilitating valuable connections with industry partners.
