President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Monday said the proposed Pax Silica Industrial Hub will generate jobs and enhance the country's competitiveness, as reported by Philstar Biz.
Marcos described the hub as a centerpiece of the Philippines' push to build an artificial intelligence-driven economy, marking the country's entry into strategic and emerging industries. He emphasized that the project would attract investments and create high-skilled employment opportunities for Filipinos.
The industrial hub is expected to strengthen the Philippines' position in the global supply chain for technology and manufacturing, aligning with the government's broader economic agenda under the Bagong Pilipinas campaign.
