The Clark Development Corporation (CDC) has recorded US$3.8 billion in semiconductor and electronics exports in 2025, solidifying Clark Freeport's role as a hub for high‑value manufacturing.
According to CDC, the agency conducted a consultation meeting with the semiconductor and electronics firms on 7 July to discuss workforce, importation, and regulatory issues.
The consultation gave industry stakeholders the chance to raise operational concerns. CDC President and CEO Atty. Agnes VST Devanadera said inputs will be used to improve services, while policy and regulatory issues needing national government action will be pursued in ongoing talks with agencies.
"As estate manager and investment promotion agency, we must be sensitive to the needs of our locators. We will continue working with national government partners to address issues that affect operations and investments," she said.
Devanadera also presented CDC’s Red Carpet Services— programs that streamline transactions, strengthen workforce development, and support expansion. These include the Business One‑Stop Shop, Town and Gown Program, Business Interdependence Program, One‑Stop Processing on Wheels, and auto‑approval for qualified import and export transactions.
Clark hosts semiconductor and electronics firms that reinforce its role in global supply chains.

The semiconductor and electronics industry in the Clark Freeport Zone serves as the powerhouse of Central Luzon's advanced manufacturing economy.
