SAN FERNANDO—The Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry-North Luzon (PCCI-NL) has endorsed the Pax Silica initiative in principle, positioning itself as a supporter of the ambitious project centered in New Clark City in Tarlac province.
The business organization's backing comes as the initiative moves forward with plans to establish operations within the special economic zone. The PCCI-NL's conditional support reflects the regional business sector's recognition of potential economic benefits alongside acknowledgment of concerns raised by stakeholders.
The Pax Silica framework is designed to attract investments and facilitate business operations within New Clark City, a sprawling development zone intended to serve as an alternative business and government hub for the metropolis. The initiative represents part of broader efforts to decentralize economic activity from Metro Manila.
Business groups in Luzon have increasingly positioned themselves as key players in shaping regional development strategies. The PCCI-NL's statement signals that the private sector remains engaged in dialogues surrounding major infrastructure and economic projects affecting North Luzon communities.
