Located in Santo Tomas and Tanauan Batangas in the fast-growing CALABARZON region - considered as one of the Philippines’ ‘’next wave’’ business and technology hubs - FPIP continues to attract a significant number of foreign investors due to its strategic location, strong supply chain, manufacturing ecosystem, and robust labor force.
FPIP provides locators and potential investors with an accessible location from the country’s capital, major business hubs, as well as airport and seaports.
Furthermore, several ongoing government infrastructure development projects continue to establish the area of Batangas as the preferred location for new investments due to its distinct advantage of easy access to trading areas.
Shown below is FPIP’s accessibility from the country’s capital, airport, seaports, and other ongoing major government-initiated infrastructure that enhances the ease of entry/exit from crucial trading areas to FPIP.
FPIP is situated in the CALABARZON region. CALABARZON comprises the five provinces of Batangas, Cavite, Laguna, Quezon, and Rizal and one highly urbanized city, Lucena. The region is the most populous region in the Philippines according to the Philippine Statistics Authority, having over 14.4 million inhabitants in 2020, and is also the country's second-most densely populated after the National Capital Region.
CALABARZON also provides access to an established labor pool, from factory workers to engineers, to key management that can serve the locators’ manpower needs. It is the home to a young and skilled pool of workforce population with a median age of 25 years and a 63% labor force participation rate. The presence of around 276 higher education institutions in the region also contributes to the honing and development of a highly-competitive, productive, trainable, and multi-skilled available labor force.
