SUBIC BAY — A delegation of approximately 50 United States companies visited the Subic Bay Freeport on Sunday to evaluate investment prospects within the Luzon Economic Corridor, according to an announcement from the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority.
Subic Bay is being positioned as a critical western gateway for companies seeking to establish operations in logistics, maritime services and the technology sector. The freeport's strategic location and existing infrastructure make it an attractive entry point for American investors looking to expand their presence across Southeast Asia.
The business delegation was led by Thomas Hardy, underscoring official backing for the investment exploration mission. The visit reflects broader efforts to attract foreign capital to the Philippines and showcase the region's economic potential.
The Luzon Economic Corridor initiative aims to facilitate business development and regional integration across key economic zones. As companies face shifting global supply chains and seek alternative operational bases, the Philippines has increasingly promoted its competitive advantages in labor costs, geographic positioning and infrastructure development.
