PHILEA - A Word-Class Choice!

The PHILEA Strong Advantage

The Philea does not require that all private industrial estates in the country be part of its membership. Yet, the primary assurance that you and other potential locators are given the best deal on an industrial estate in the Philippines is the Philea's stamp of approval on an industrial area.

        Why is this so? A Philea member is screened according to stringent standards. Foremostly, Philea members are approved by the Board of Investments and/or the Philippine Economic Zone Authority to ensure that its locators are granted the best fiscal incentives in the land.

      The development plan of the members' respective estates strictly adhere to rules and regulations on environmental protection and management. And more importantly, the personalities behind the corporation and estate are of good reputation and standing.

        It is also noteworthy that Philea member industrial estates are monitored regularly by the Association for their development efforts, especially in the areas of infrastructure and utilities.

        Thus, over the years, membership in the Philea has been limited to the serious industrial estate developer. We shall take a look at this distinguished membership.

       Let us now have an overview of what Philea member companies have to offer the investor:
