CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — The Pampanga Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PamCham), a 25,000-strong organization of businessmen and professionals in the province, has endorsed the senatorial bid of former senator Richard Gordon in the coming May 13 polls.

In a statement, PamCham’s top officials, led by Vice Chairman Rene Romero and President Jim Jimenez, credited Gordon for being instrumental in the conversion of the then Clark Special Economic Zone into what is now a Freeport Zone in 2007.

“We now have a Clark Freeport partly because of Gordon,” Romero said.

PamCham, cited as one of the most active and dynamic chambers in the country, has 500 member companies with around 25,000 direct employees.

Romero said the group’s endorsement of Gordon is an expression of gratitude for his full support to get the pertinent law, Republic Act 9400, passed in 2007 as Clark geared up for greater growth and expansion under a new corporate leadership.

Former Clark Development Corp. president and CEO Levy P. Laus spearheaded the conversion effort in the Senate at the time.

“Because of the conversion, Clark has become a more attractive and dynamic investment destination, especially for foreign investors, and generated more businesses and jobs and other economic spin-offs for Pampanga and nearby provinces in Central Luzon,” he said.

Romero noted that before the conversion, Clark had around 300 locators and close to 50,000 workers. Today, he said, there are about 450 locators and more than 70,000 workers.

“Definitely, the Freeport status has something to do with the uptrend,” Romero said.

Jimenez added that Gordon, in addition to his vital role in converting Clark into a Freeport, has always been supportive of programs and policies contributory to the growth and development of Central Luzon, particularly the countryside.

“Gordon’s outstanding leadership qualities and track record are what we need in the Senate to push for laws that are vital for the country’s economic success,” he said.

Jimenez said the Clark Freeport holds more potential as an investment destination, tourist attraction and center for multi-lateral cooperation.

“With Gordon in the Senate, we can look forward to his continuing support and leadership to further boost Clark,” he said.

Quarry revenues posted at P73.6 million

ITY OF SAN FERNANDO — The first quarter quarry revenues of Capitol closed at P73,675,000 after collections in March was recorded at P22,557,500 even if there was a long Holy Week break when operations stopped on the 27th.

Last January, the income from the flagship industry and premier contributor to Capitol’s coffers was posted at P26,215,000 and P24,902,500 in February.

Added to the first six months collection of P119,385,000 in 2010 and P238,380,000 in 2011 plus P292,017,500, total quarry revenues to date under the Pineda administration stands at a whopping P723,457,500 – the biggest so far in the history of the quarry industry.

“Setting aside the coming elections in May, we are very near our target of P770 million. Operations will go on as usual and normally, since quarry operations are not affected by political factors,” Environment and Natural Resources Office chief Art Punsalan said.

He told Sun.Star Pampanga that collections — when Governor Lilia Pineda and Vice-Governor Joseller “Yeng” Guiao end their terms in June – may even exceed the target of P770 million if other quarry derivatives like weighing scale fees are added to the actual income.

“We might even reach as high as P800 million for the three years of Governor Pineda and Vice-Governor Guiao. Still, at the current run-rate, we would be able to maintain our average of P20 million a month especially with enhanced efficiencies and the impending computerization of quarry collections,” said Punsalan.
