The announcement was
made recently as the Senate on
February 5 ratified the
designation of Clark as a
freeport zone. On Jan. 31, the
House of Representatives
approved the same Bicam
report that would restore the
tax incentives and duty privileges
of locators in Clark.

approved the reconciled version
of the Clark bills from both
houses of Congress last Jan. 29.

The Bicameral Conference
Committee (Bicam) has
approved tax incentives and
tax amnesty for Clark locators
and has declared the entire
4,400-hectare Clark main zone
as a freeport zone.
Clark Development Corp.
(CDC) President and CEO Levy
P. Laus said President Gloria
Macapagal-Arroyo is expected
to sign the bill into law within
30 days after its ratification in
both houses of Congress.

“Clark is such a huge center
for economic growth and

Corp. President Victo Jose
Luciano said the Bicam has
reconciled Senate Bill (SB)
2260 and House Bill (HB) 5064
making Clark a “Freeport.”
Luciano, a former CDC
executive vice president, is
also widely credited for
initiating lobby efforts in
Congress since 2005.
He said that the Bicam
committee also approved
proposals for CDC to serve as
the administrator of the 4,400hectare free port zone.
Meanwhile, Laus thanked
members of the Senate and
House of Representatives that
supported moves to honor
government’s commitment to
local and foreign investors in
Clark.
The CDC president also
thanked CDC Chairman of the
Board Rizalino Navarro, the
CDC directors, executives and
employees for their hard work
and prayers for the approval
of the bills.
Laus, who led lobbying
efforts by Clark investors and
locators for the granting of tax
incentives, said Congress’
decision “will have a
tremendous impact not only
on Clark but on the whole of
Central Luzon.”
This will boosts President
Arroyo’s plan to make the
Clark-Subic corridor a major
investments hub in the Asia
Pacific region, said Laus. The
Chief Executive has lauded the
leadership of Laus for leading
lobbying efforts for the
passage of the Senate bill as
initially proposed by Recto.
Since CDC’s creation in
1993 as the implementing arm
of the Bases Conversion
Development Authority (BCDA)
for Clark, more than 450
foreign and domestic
investors have pumped in at
least P24.33 billion worth of
investments. Last year alone,
investors in Clark exported a
total of US$1 billion worth of
various items.

Airport (DMIA) that will form part of the
Feasibility Study under a technical grant
by the Korean International Cooperation
Agency (KOICA).
In a letter to National Economic and

of the DMIA Master Development Plan and
sorted priority projects that include the
development of the DMIA Passenger
Terminal 2, General Freight Terminal
Facilities, Maintenance, Repair and
Overhaul (MRO) Facilities, Gateway
Terminal (Phase 1) and the Airport Plaza.
Mangio requested NEDA “to

funded by by KOICA for the full
development of priority projects in
DMIA.
The technical grant will include
among others finding the sources of
funding for the development of
priority projects under Phase 1, said
Luciano.
“There is just a time frame and
process involved to find modes of
funding.”
The developments at DMIA will
be fast-tracked until 2010, just some

The Clark International Airport Corp.
(CIAC) is rushing its plans to upgrade the
Diosdado Macapagal International
Airport (DMIA) for completion by 2010
when the Ninoy Aquino International
Airport (NAIA), with its limited runway
space, is expected to reach its “saturation
point.”
CIAC chairman Nestor Mangio said
the government body has identified
projects for the DMIA that will include a
new and bigger passenger terminal, a
general freight terminal, maintenance,
repair and overhaul facilities, the first
phase of a gateway terminal, and an
airport plaza. CIAC is a subsidiary of
Clark Development Corporation.
These projects will be covered by a $2million feasibility study to be proposed
for funding by the Korean International
Cooperation Agency (KOICA) as soon as
the National Economic Development
Authority (NEDA) endorses it.
The projects comprise only the first
phase of the master plan for the DMIA,
Mangio said.
CIAC president and chief executive
officer Victor Jose Luciano said the
feasibility study to be conducted by
KOICA will also identify possible funding
sources for the projects under the first phase
of the master plan.
“There is a timeframe and process

said.
Luciano said the projects have to fasttracked and finished by 2010 when the
NAIA is expected to reach its saturation
point due to its limited runway space.
CIAC, which operates the DMIA,
marked its 12th anniversary with a vow
to pursue plans to transform the airport
into the country’s major international
gateway.
In 2006, Luciano said the DMIA
posted 2,065 international flights with
470,867 passengers, a 110 percent
increase from the previous year’s 224,497
passengers on 1,188 flights.
In 2004, 230 international flights
were recorded with 49,546 passengers.
Luciano also cited reports that
domestic flights at the DMIA reached 432
with 9,442 passengers in 2004; 455 flights
with 7,816 passengers in 2005; and 443
flights with 17,889 passengers last year.
He also reported that terminal fee
collections at the DMIA increased by 126
percent, from P35,863,650 in 2005 to
P81,097,750 in 2006.
Combined international and
domestic cargo tonnage also increased 15
percent from 112, 266 tons in 2005 to
128,747 tons in 2006. In 2004, only

US Firm eyes Clark
investment of $400m
An American engineering
firm has expressed interest in
investing about $400 million,
approximately P20 billion, for
the development of the Diosdado
Macapagal International Airport
and an additional amount for the
preparation of a master plan for
the Subic-Clark Corridor.
Subic-Clark Alliance for
Development chairman Edgardo
Pamintuan, in a statement, said
LPA Group Inc. of South Carolina,
reputedly one of the 20 best
airport design services firms in
the United States, wanted to help
develop the Subic-Clark Corridor
into world-class logistics hub.
Pamintuan said Dennis
Wiehl, vice president for
international operations of the
LPA Group, sent two letters to
President Gloria Macapagal
Arroyo, informing her of the
5
company’s investment plan for
the country.
He said LPA Group offered
to prepare the Master plan and
environment study for the
airport, as well as the areas
traversed by the Subic-ClarkTarlac Expressway in Pampanga,
Tarlac and Zambales.
The US firm, he said, was
on the final stages arranging a
$400-million loan agreement
with US Eximbank to finance the
airport project.
Separate financing was also
being arranged for the master
plan of the corridor, Pamintuan
said.
“Right now, we are
expanding the current terminal
building of the DMIA initially to
accommodate the dramatic
growth of passenger traffic since
the airport became a hub for
domestic and international
budget airlines, “he said.
He said President Arroyo
wanted to develop Clark and
Subic, former American military
bases, into a world-class logistics
hub.
“Now that the two facilities
have been completely converted
to civilian and economic uses,
perhaps the US can also help
boost our efforts. Indeed, we
welcome the return of the
Americans in Clark and subic,
specifically American companies
involved
in
logistics,
communications and information
technology,” he said.
The government plans to
expand and develop the airport
at a cost of up to P56.5 billion,
which would enable it to
accommodate more than 10
million passengers annually, up
from 500,000 passengers in
2006.
Development of the facility
will start this year and to be
completed until 2010. (RDC,

Retreat from a day’s work. Relax with a soothing
sip of masterfully brewed coffee.
Café Mesa offers this respite in a European-inspired
setting, coupled by the serenity of its location – tree-lined
street with the greenery of the parade ground in the backdrop.
Located at the corner of Cardinal Santos Avenue
(northside of Parade ground), Café Mesa is Clark’s latest
addition to the growing number of specialty joints inside the
Freeport Zone. It occupies one of the almost century-old barn
houses (former Day Care Center) which has been renovated
and restored in a P4 million rehabilitation!
What makes Café Mesa so unique from among other coffee
shops is its brewing technique. It makes use of imported stove
and siphon apparatus (like laboratory experiment tools)
where brewing is made right at the bar table. The brewed
product is served right from the siphon to a coffee cup, and
so freshness and aroma is always preserved and enjoyed by
the customers. Delightful – indeed – to sight, smell and of
course, the taste.
The café – brainchild of former United Parcel Service
Philippine country manager Hidenori Aritake – offers the
best coffee beans, particular of which is the UCC (Ueshima
Coffee Company) that has a growing patronage and attraction
among Metro Manila’s coffee shop habitués.
It is, in fact, the only café in Pampanga that serves the
Japanese brand such as the UCC Sumiyaki (charcoal roasted
beans) and UCC Special Blend. And, yes, Café Mesa’s coffee
flavors – both hot and cold – can come with succulent and
mouthwatering all-time favorite cakes that are baked in-house.
at night, Cafe Mesa also serves as a bar.
Aside from coffee and cakes, Café Mesa also offers superb
breakfast, lunch and dinner meals, including wines and other
beverages at its house-like setting. It is open from 7 AM to 12
midnight. For reservations and other details, call Shy Bala 499
