Established in 1974 under Presidential Decree No. 538, Phividec was created to disperse industry to the countryside, foster socioeconomic development and support the employment of veterans and retirees of the Armed Forces of the Philippines through nation-building initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, the estate hosts a wide range of industries \u2014 from power, petroleum and logistics to steel processing, activated carbon production, food manufacturing and light industries. Japanese companies have played a vital role since its inception, beginning with the Philippine Sinter Corp. (a subsidiary of JFE Steel), and continuing with Nippon Sanso Ingasco Philippines Inc. and Jacobi Carbons Philippines Inc., the world\u2019s largest producer of coconut shell-based activated carbon and a subsidiary of Osaka Gas Chemicals Co.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Administrator Joseph Donato J. Bernedo is leading Phividec\u2019s next phase of development. While pursuing the long-term vision of an integrated steel mill \u2014 300 hectares have been reserved \u2014 Bernedo is actively working to diversify the estate\u2019s industrial base by targeting electronics, semiconductors, electric vehicle components, tourism and commercial ventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We offer a unique combination of infrastructure, incentives and location.<\/p>Joseph Donato J. Bernedo<\/strong>, Administrator of Phividec<\/mark><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n

Strategically located along a protected deep-sea harbor, Phividec connects the cities of Surigao, Davao, Zamboanga and Bukidnon province through the Mindanao Container Terminal. With a 13-meter berth depth in an area unlikely to experience typhoons and an ongoing expansion to 600 meters, the port is positioned to become the southern gateway of Philippine trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other major initiatives include a bulk water project, an 18-building housing complex and a 20-megawatt solar facility. Phividec also hosts two schools producing 2,000 graduates annually and a Technical Education and Skills Development Authority center that is being upgraded to a 200 million peso (\u00a551.2 million) facility offering courses in automation and robotics. The authority is also working toward ISO certification to align with global standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe offer a unique combination of infrastructure, incentives and location,\u201d Bernedo said. \u201cThis is the right time to invest in Phividec.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
