In the Administrator’s speech, he expressed his commitment to 2 big areas of effort – the leveling up of the stakeholders’ experience and the alignment of its operations with intensified responsiveness to the R.A. 11453. He extends his deep appreciation and utmost respect to the whole of FAB and therefore acknowledges his new role – to build on what the FAB has achieved in the past decade, aspiring to do better and do more. “AFAB has been doing well contributing to the national coffers and providing jobs and opportunities for growth and it has a team in place that is certainly competent,” he added.

He humbly sought everyone’s support, saying that his aspirations will entail collaboration with all the stakeholders of the FAB. He laid out his course of action in order to foster good working relationships and collaboration – “What I will want [is] to visit you all, to listen, learn, and to work [with you], so that all of us can do better at doing our part to make the FAB an even better Freeport. Doing so will keep improving our work output and will also attract more locators.”
The event aims to maintain a prosperous business environment and good governance within the Freeport Area of Bataan.
