  • REGIONAL PROFILE Region 3 Or Central Luzon Covers the Provinces of Bulacan, Pampanga, Tarlac, Nueva Ecija, Bataan, Zambales
    REGIONAL PROFILE Region 3 or Central Luzon covers the provinces of Bulacan, Pampanga, Tarlac, Nueva Ecija, Bataan, Zambales and Aurora. It has a total land area of 2,215,752 hectares. The region is endowed with a balanced mix of environmental assets to value, maintain, develop and manage accordingly. It is composed of 494,533 hectares of forestland, 251,518 hectares of protected areas composed of watersheds and forest reserves, national parks, games refuge, bird sanctuary and wildlife area covering 13.8% of the region’s land area. Forty one percent of its land area is composed of agricultural plains with rice as its main crop. Long coastlines rich with fishing grounds border it. Mineral resources may be extracted in Bulacan and Zambales Central Luzon is traditionally known as the Rice Bowl of the Philippines due to its vast rice lands that produces most of the nation’s staple food products as well as a wide variety of other crops. With the opening of various investment opportunities in Economic Zones in Clarkfield and Subic Bay Area, Region III is now termed as the W-Growth Corridor due to the industrialization of many areas in the region. The W-Growth Corridor covers areas with rapid growth potentials for the industrial, tourism and agricultural sectors of Central Luzon, making Region III one of the most critical regions in terms of environmental concerns primarily due to the rapid sprawl of industries/establishments and human settlements while the necessary land use and environmental planning are not yet effectively being carved. [As such, the EMB, together with Local Government Units (LGUs) and other entities are trying to lessen the impact of infrastructure development and industrialization on the environment.

  • Analysis of the Performance of Private Economic Zones in Philippines
    International Journal of Development and Sustainability ISSN: 2186-8662 – www.isdsnet.com/ijds Volume 7 Number 2 (2018): Pages 502-517 ISDS Article ID: IJDS17111502 Analysis of the performance of private economic zones in Philippines Arianne Dumayas * Faculty of Economics, Chuo University, Higashi-nakano 742-1, Hachioji-shi, Tokyo, Japan Abstract The establishment of special economic zones has been a popular development policy tool for many developing economies like the Philippines. Special economic zones in the Philippines started as solely government-led and managed zones but eventually, the participation of private sector was allowed in 1995. As of 2016, majority of 348 active special economic zones are developed and managed by the private sector. Given the two decades of private sector participation, it is apt to analyze the economic contribution of these private special economic zones, particularly in comparison with public economic zones. This paper evaluates the performance of private and public economic zones using indicators on investments, exports, and employment. The increasing number of private economic zones are instrumental in driving the growth in investments, exports, and employment from 1995-2015. The analysis at zone level shows that while private economic zones deliver significant outcomes, public economic zones continue to play a major role. However, these findings are based on descriptive analysis. Further study using more sophisticated estimation techniques is required to assess the effectiveness of economic zones.

  • Updates on the Implementation of Laws
    Republic of the Philippines Senate Pasay City UPDATES ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF LAWS (as of May 31, 2013) Fourteenth & Fifteenth Congress 1 PREFACE A law that successfully hurdles the legislative mill is a great achievement. But for all the tedious work that goes into the act of legislation, a law passed by Congress is rendered meaningless if it remains nothing more than a signed document on paper. In other words, if the law is not implemented, it becomes a “dead letter law.” There is therefore a need to continuously monitor and review the implementation of laws. It is in the interest of the citizens to check whether concerned agencies of the government have complied with the requirements, and if the corresponding Implementing Rules and Regulations have been issued. This is to ensure that stakeholders are able to maximize the benefits that these laws were originally designed to provide. This handbook contains a report on the implementation of laws passed during the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Congress. It aims to provide reference materials for Senators, Senate officials and other interested parties about the laws being implemented by different government departments, including their instrumentalities and agencies. It seeks to shed light on the reasons why some laws are not being fully carried out, as well as the problems encountered by the government agencies concerned in their implementation. We sincerely hope that this humble report would serve as a useful guide to everyone who may have the opportunity to use it. Atty. Crisante J. del Mundo Executive-Legislative Liaison Service Office of the External Affairs & Relations 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Fourteenth Congress I.
