LISP II, on the other hand is just 300 meters from the Calamba interchange of the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX). LISP III is directly in front of the Sto. Tomas interchange of the SLEX, which is the last exit of the SLEX right before the Southern Tagalog Arterial road leading to the international seaport of Batangas City. CLIP, on the other hand, is a mere 10-minute drive or less than 8 kilometers from the Mactan International Airport, while HEIP is accessible through the spur road of the SCTEx.

English skills of Filipino workers is another key advantage compared to their counterparts in Vietnam, making communications between employers and employees much easier. There are many strikes in Vietnam, but within the economic zones in the Philippines, strikes will never occur if we follow PEZA regulations.
Peter Liao, President and CEO of Headway Caps International
Filipinos are more open than Taiwanese and Chinese, resulting in more creative designs and products. Paul-Yu Industrial Corp. has already opened five factories in MEZ since 2001 and intends to expand further in the near future. The infrastructure in Mactan is really favourable to business.
Ken Yu, a special assistant to the chairman (his father) at Paul-Yu Industrial Corp

Mike Petrucci, Former President, Amkor Technology Phils.
Through my past experience of working in 17 countries’ people, Filipinos are the best to work together with the Japanese. They are always with a bright smile, hospitable, obedient, hard working, and loyal.
Norihiko Maeno, Chairman, Maeno Giken Inc.
The quality of workers in the Philippines is far better than that of Thailand and approximates that of Japanese workers at a fifth of the cost. About 80% of our work force are women “because they are better than men.” I am Happy that local schools produce very good engineers.
Masaaki Naganime, Former President, Fujitsu Computer (Retired)
Filipino workers have fast learning curves because of two things – their English language proficiency and their being better educated.
