CLARK FREEPORT — The Clark Development Corporation (CDC) is positioning Clark as a key driver of growth in the country’s transport and logistics sector.
In her keynote message, CDC President and CEO Atty. Agnes VST Devanadera referred to the transportation and logistics sectors as game changers that position the Clark as the gateway to Northern Philippines’ economic centers.
She delivered the message before delegates of the 3rd Central Luzon Transport and Trade Conference held on June 19 at the Clark Marriott Hotel.
Atty. Devanadera said that strategic infrastructure—such as the North-South Commuter Railway and the expansion of Clark International Airport—would boost cargo and passenger traffic in the zone, further attracting major logistics players.
She also underscored the need for a clear distinction between administration and regulation in the sector, warning that overlapping roles could hinder development.
The CDC chief called for stronger policy advocacy, improved interconnectivity, and legislative champions to support infrastructure such as the nautical highway.
The 3rd Central Luzon Transport and Trade Conference (2025), carrying the theme “Building a Reliable Logistics Infrastructure to Power Economic Growth,” showcased the region’s appeal as a logistics hub and strategic investment destination.
More than 200 executives from the public and private sectors attended the conference.
Presentations focused on government-led projects aimed at realizing the region’s ambition of becoming a logistics hub and unlocking business opportunities—further reinforcing Clark Freeport Zone’s emergence as a logistics megahub.
