The Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) has expanded its roster of export-oriented locators with the registration of Global Aerospace Technology Philippines Inc. as an ecozone export enterprise at the Cavite Technopark–Special Economic Zone in Naic, Cavite.
The Registration Agreement was signed by PEZA Director General Tereso O. Panga and company president Jason Carl Tyas, formalizing the firm’s entry into the government’s investment promotion program.
Global Aerospace Technology Philippines Inc. will manufacture, fabricate, machine, and assemble unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), special-purpose machinery, and aerospace components.
The project is expected to contribute to the country’s growing participation in high-value and technology-driven manufacturing, particularly within the global aerospace industry.
PEZA officials said the investment aligns with the agency’s broader plan to develop new ecozone frontiers, including facilities dedicated to aviation and aerospace activities.
As more aircraft-related manufacturers explore operations in the Philippines, the agency is pursuing the creation of aerotropolis ecozones in partnership with the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP).
The planned aerotropolis zones aim to cluster aviation and aerospace enterprises near major airport hubs. By locating companies close to critical transport infrastructure, PEZA expects to improve supply chain efficiency, enhance connectivity, and support long-term industry growth.
According to Ecozone Development Manager Ludwig Daza, PEZA and CAAP have already signed a memorandum of understanding. The two agencies, along with other concerned authorities, are working on guidelines to operationalize the proposed aerotropolis ecozones.
Beyond large-scale investments, the project is also seen to benefit local micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). PEZA said opportunities may arise in supplier linkages, subcontracting, precision parts manufacturing, logistics, and technical services. These linkages could enable domestic firms, both within and outside ecozones, to participate in the aerospace value chain.
Panga welcomed the company as a new investment partner of the agency. “I formally welcome Global Aerospace as part of the official family of investment partners, as this investment enhances the country’s aerospace capabilities and deepens its participation in the global value chain.
The project forms part of the broader aerospace ecosystem, positioning the Philippines to integrate with Japan—one of the world’s largest aircraft manufacturing nations—as it progresses toward high-value systems engineering, defense platforms, next-generation aircraft technologies, and sustainable aviation solutions.”
The registration signals continued efforts by PEZA to attract technology-intensive investments and support the country’s push toward innovation-led industrial development.
