The Provincial Government of Bulacan, through the Provincial Cooperative and Enterprise Development Office (PCEDO), participated in the Executive Briefing on the Super Intelligence, Knowledge, and Advanced Technology (SIKAT) Corridor held on November 4, 2026, at Dusit Thani, Makati City.
The briefing gathered national government officials, provincial leaders, and investment promotion stakeholders to discuss how the Philippine Investment Promotion Plan (PIPP), Luzon Economic Corridor (LEC), and SIKAT Corridor can work together to attract investments and support the growth of future industries.
The briefing featured key messages from Secretary Ma. Cristina A. Roque, DTI and IIPCC Chair, who emphasized aligning national investment priorities with regional strengths and linking local businesses to global value chains; Dr. Ceferino S. Rodolfo, DTI Undersecretary and BOI Managing Head, who presented the SIKAT Corridor as a platform for advancing technology, advanced manufacturing, and future industries; Engr. Joshua “Jake” M. Bingcang, BCDA President and CEO, who discussed development initiatives and the role of New Clark City in supporting strategic investments; and Hon. Christian A. Yap, Governor of Tarlac, who highlighted the importance of ensuring that industrial development goes hand in hand with environmental protection, community welfare, and sustainability.
The briefing also highlighted the importance of regional collaboration through the Central Luzon Growth Corridor Foundation, Inc. (CLGCFI), a regional partnership composed of the seven provinces of Central Luzon, including Bulacan. Through this platform, the provinces can strengthen coordination, align investment promotion initiatives, and advance shared economic development priorities across the region.
For Bulacan, its designation as Node 6 – BEZA: AI Compute Hardware and Global Gateway highlights the province’s strategic role in supporting the assembly, integration, and testing of high-value technology components. As part of Central Luzon, Bulacan can work with the other provinces through CLGCFI to help position the region as a competitive destination for strategic investments, advanced industries, and sustainable economic growth.
