Here’s good news that largely went unnoticed: President Duterte has okayed the expansion of the Bulacan Industrial City where a new pharmaceutical manufacturing zone is set to rise.
Sen. Francis Tolentino, who was my online guest last Sunday in my Teleradyo program Sagot Ko ‘Yan, relayed the good news that Malacañang issued Proclamation No. 1070 last January 11 designating 259,069 square meters of land in Malolos, Bulacan, as a special economic zone.
He said the newly designated land in Malolos will be added to the current 38-hectare Bulacan Industrial City that was established in 1991, and dubbed as the “Pharma City of the North” which houses several pharmaceutical firms such as Pascual Laboratories, Cargill Philippines, and seven others.

PASAY CITY, Feb. 2 The Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) has officially granted Philstar Marketing Development, Inc. its registration as a developer/operator of First Bulacan Business Park (FBBP) in Malolos, Bulacan, the first mixed use ecozone in the province following the signing of its Registration Agreement on 27 January 2021, under Certificate of Registration No. EZ-21-01.
This comes after President Rodrigo Roa Duterte issued Proclamation No. 1070 granting FBBP the status of a “special economic zone.”
“We thank President Duterte for the proclamation of the First Bulacan Business Park, which is the first pharmaceutical ecozone registered under PEZA,” said Director General Charito “Ching” Plaza.
