Zamboanga City Special Economic Zone Authority

Zamboanga City Special Economic Zone Authority Ramos.

The Zamboanga City Special Economic Zone Authority and Freeport or ZAMBOECOZONE was primarily conceived to be a critical and vital economic hub that would bring about positive change for the City of Zamboanga and the wider Peninsula region. The Zamboanga City Special Economic Zone Authority and Freeport was created through Republic Act 7903 authored by the late Congresswoman Maria Clara Lorenzo Lobregat. It was enacted into law on February 23, 1995 and made operational a year later with the appointment of a Chairman and Administrator and the members of the Board by former president Fidel V. The ZAMBOECOZONE & FREEPORT is a means to attract local and foreign investors, generate employment opportunities, and encourage the regional dispersal of industries. The Governing Principles of RA 7903 (Sec. 4[a]) calls for the ZAMBOECOZONE & FREEPORT to be developed into a decentralized, self-reliant and self sustaining agro-industrial, commercial, financial, investment and tourism center and Freeport with suitable retirement and residential areas.

A proposed clean energy project of Hydrogรจne de France (HDF) Energy is currently underway at the Zamboanga City Special Economic Zone Authority and Freeport (ZAMBOECOZONE), which could support the development of a more stable, reliable, and sustainable power supply for Zamboanga City. The project was discussed on 16 September 2026 during a meeting at 8 Rockwell in Makati attended by ZAMBOECOZONE Chairman and Administrator Raul M. Regondola, DBA, PhTD and Board Ex-officio Member and Zamboanga City Councilor Rey B. Bayoging, together with Deputy Administrator for Planning and Operations Group Reynold B. Pareja.

The project involves the development of a 60-hectare site for solar facilities and an energy-storage and generation system based on green hydrogen technology. Further, the facility could potentially supply electricity to a power distributor such as the Zamboanga City Electric Cooperative, Inc. (ZAMCELCO).

HDF Energy develops hydrogen-based power systems designed to combine renewable energy generation with long-duration energy storage. Its Renewstableยฎ model integrates solar or wind power, battery storage, hydrogen produced through water electrolysis, hydrogen storage, and fuel cell technology. The stored hydrogen can be converted back into electricity when solar or wind generation is unavailable, allowing the system to provide stable, dispatchable renewable power beyond daylight hours. HDF Energy describes this approach as a way to provide non-intermittent or baseload renewable power while reducing dependence on diesel-based generation.

With the proposed project now at the evaluation stage, Chairman Regondola said the Authority welcomes discussions involving technologies that may strengthen the regionโ€™s energy security and improve the investment environment.

โ€œReliable power is essential to the growth of Zamboanga City and to the confidence of investors who are considering long-term operations in our economic zone. This discussion with HDF Energy is an opportunity to explore how solar generation, hydrogen storage, and advanced power technology may contribute to a more stable and sustainable energy system,โ€ Regondola said.

The Zamboanga City Special Economic Zone Authority and Freeport (ZAMBOECOZONE) took part in the Lingkod Bayani Run on 13 September 2026, a nationwide fun run initiative in celebration of the 126th Philippine Civil Service Anniversary of the Civil Service Commission (CSC) that brings together government employees, citizens, families, and partners in celebration of wellness, unity, and pride in public service.

Held at La Jardin de Maria Clara Lobregat in Pasonanca, Zamboanga City, the activity highlighted the theme Puso sa Serbisyo and the values that inspire public servants to serve with compassion, solidarity, and a shared commitment to nation-building.

More than a physical activity, the Lingkod Bayani Run provided an opportunity for ZAMBOECOZONE personnel to strengthen camaraderie, promote employee well-being, and connect with fellow public servants and members of the community. Every step taken reflected the enduring spirit of service and the collective efforts of Filipinos working toward a healthier and more united nation.

The activity also supported the CSCโ€™s Pamanang Lingkod Bayani Program, which recognizes and extends assistance to government workers and their families. Through its participation, ZAMBOECOZONE joins this meaningful initiative in honoring dedication, compassion, and selfless public service.

Together, let us continue to carry the Puso sa Serbisyo in every task, every step, and every opportunity to serve.

The Zamboanga City Special Economic Zone Authority and Freeport (ZAMBOECOZONE) participated in the 3rd Quarter Nationwide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill (NSED) on 10 September 2026, reinforcing its continuing commitment to safeguard personnel, clients, locators, and partner institutions within the Freeport.

At 02:00 P.M., officers and employees of the Authority carried out the prescribed protective actions for an earthquake scenario, beginning with the โ€œDuck, Cover, and Holdโ€ procedure before proceeding through the designated evacuation process. The activity formed part of a nationwide drill spearheaded by the Office of Civil Defense and the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, which sought to strengthen preparedness among government offices, schools, communities, and private establishments across the country.

Rather than treating the exercise as a routine compliance activity, ZAMBOECOZONE used the simulation to reinforce the practical habits that matter in an actual emergency: immediate protective action, orderly movement, situational awareness, accountability of personnel, and clear coordination at evacuation areas. The drill also gave the Freeport an opportunity to observe how its internal emergency arrangements perform under simulated conditions and to identify areas for continuing improvement. Such exercises help ensure that emergency procedures are familiar not only on paper, but also to the people expected to carry them out when seconds matter.

The Bureau of Fire Protection โ€“ ZAMBOECOZONE Fire Station, which monitored and evaluated the conduct of the exercise, rated ZAMBOECOZONEโ€™s 3rd Quarter NSED drill as โ€œsatisfactoryโ€. The assessment affirmed the orderly participation of personnel and the Authorityโ€™s continuing efforts to maintain effective emergency procedures, while also providing guidance for further strengthening its disaster preparedness measures.

ZAMBOECOZONE Chairman and Administrator Raul M. Regondola, DBA, PhTD, said disaster readiness is inseparable from the Freeportโ€™s responsibility to provide a safe environment for its workforce, locators, stakeholders, and surrounding communities. โ€œAn economic zone must be ready not only to support enterprise and generate opportunities, but also to protect the people who work, invest, and transact within it. Our participation in the 3rd Quarter NSED is a reminder that preparedness begins with every individual knowing what to do, where to go, and how to act responsibly during an emergency,โ€ Chairman Regondola said.

The participation builds upon the ZAMBOECOZONEโ€™s Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan approved this year, and its continuing efforts to integrate resilience, safety, and emergency preparedness into the day-to-day operations of the Freeport. Through regular drills, evaluation by emergency response partners, and coordinated preparedness activities, the Authority aims to sustain a culture in which readiness is shared by everyone.

The Zamboanga City Special Economic Zone Authority and Freeport (ZAMBOECOZONE) has opened new doors for skills development, employability, and inclusive economic participation, in collaboration with Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), for the establishment of a Provincial Training Center (PTC) within the Authorityโ€™s First Industrial Park in Sitio San Ramon, Barangay Talisayan.

Located at the Left Wing, Lower Ground Floor of the ZAMBOECOZONE Administration Building, the TESDA Provincial Training Center (PTC) forms part of the Freeportโ€™s continuing effort to build an investment-ready and people-centered economic zoneโ€”one that not only attracts enterprises, but also prepares Zamboangueรฑos to participate in the jobs and opportunities created by economic growth.

While the full establishment of the TESDA Provincial Training Center is underway, TESDA has set up a temporary office within ZAMBOECOZONE to ensure the continuity of technical education and skills development services for clients and the general public. The temporary office serves as an accessible point for learners, workers, job seekers, and other stakeholders seeking information and assistance on available training programs, skills-development opportunities, and related TESDA services.

For the Authority, the presence of the TESDA PTC directly supports the attainment of one of its core mandatesโ€”the generation of employment. By providing accessible technical-vocational education, skills development, competency assessment, and qualifications-oriented training, the Center is expected to help develop a pool of workers equipped for employment within ZAMBOECOZONE, across Zamboanga City, and throughout the Zamboanga Peninsula region.

The Centerโ€™s establishment traces its roots to the historic Deed of Usufruct (DOU) signed by ZAMBOECOZONE and TESDA on 09 May 2024. Under the 25-year agreement, ZAMBOECOZONE granted TESDA usufructuary rights over an 8,805.326-square-meter lot within the Authorityโ€™s First Industrial Park for the development of a Provincial Training Center.

The TESDA PTC currently offers training programs in Shielded Metal Arc Welding or SMAW NC I and NC II; Masonry NC I and NC II; Construction Painting NC II; Driving NC II; Bread and Pastry Production NC II; Agri-crops Production NC II; and Organic Agriculture Production NC II. These courses cover high-value skills that may support employment and livelihood pathways in construction, manufacturing, logistics, food production, agriculture, and related sectors.

Beyond its training programs, TESDA provides or facilitates access to services such as competency assessment and national certification, information on scholarship opportunities, learner guidance, industry-relevant training referrals, and employment-oriented support, subject to applicable TESDA rules, program availability, and qualification requirements. These services can help workers validate their skills against national standards and improve their readiness for employment, career mobility, or enterprise development.

The Office also strengthens the Authorityโ€™s โ€˜One-Stop-Shopโ€™ initiative, through which allied partner agencies and institutions are hosted within the economic zone. The initiative is intended to make essential government, regulatory, investment facilitation, labor, employment, and skills-development services easier to access for locators, investors, workers, and surrounding communities.

Chairman Regondola said the partnership with TESDA reflects the Authorityโ€™s belief that a competitive economic zone must be built not only through physical infrastructure and investment promotion, but also through sustained investment in people. โ€œThe presence of the TESDA Provincial Training Center in ZAMBOECOZONE translates our commitment to employment generation into concrete action. We are creating a more direct pathway for our people to gain relevant skills, earn recognized qualifications, and prepare for available and emerging employment opportunities within the Freeport and beyond,โ€ Chairman Regondola said.

โ€œThis is also a key component of our โ€˜One-Stop-Shopโ€™ initiative. By hosting TESDA and other allied institutions within the economic zone, we bring crucial services closer to our stakeholdersโ€”our investors and locators, workers, job seekers, and communities. We want the Authority to be a place where opportunity is not only created, but where people are prepared and empowered to seize it,โ€ he added. (Words by J. R. Ramirez / Photos by M. N. Uking)

The Zamboanga City Special Economic Zone Authority and Freeport (ZAMBOECOZONE) hosted the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturing (FMM) delegation on 07 September 2026, opening a business matching opportunity with Malaysian industry leaders on investment, manufacturing, and trade pathways in Zamboanga City. The luncheon briefing at the ZAMBOECOZONE Conference Room brought together the FMM delegation spearheaded by its President, Jacob Lee Chor Kok; Philippine Trade and Investment Center (PTIC) in Kuala Lumpur Commercial Counsellor Norjamin G. Delos Reyes; officials of the Department of Trade and Industry Region IX (DTI IX); and representatives of the Zamboanga City Local Economic Development and Investment Promotions Office (LEDIPO) and City Tourism Office.

The visit included ZAMBOECOZONE presentations on operating environment, investment incentives, industrial sites, existing export-oriented activities, and its four priority development programsโ€”Asian Halal Centre, San Ramon Newport Project, West Corporate Centre, and ZAMBOECOZONE Highlandsโ€”followed by an open forum and a site tour of the First and Second Industrial Parks.

In his statement, Chairman and Administrator Raul M. Regondola, DBA, PhTD, said the Authority views the visit as a strategic opportunity to develop stronger economic links with Malaysia, particularly because Zamboanga City occupies a natural place within the BIMP-EAGA economic corridor. โ€œMalaysia is not a distant market to us. We are part of the same regional corridor, connected by trade, geography, and a shared interest in building stronger production and supply chains in this part of Southeast Asia,โ€ Chairman Regondola said.

โ€œWe have welcomed investors from Korea, China, Singapore, and Taiwan, but we see a clear opportunity to deepen Malaysian participation in ZAMBOECOZONE. We invited the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers not merely to show them our facilities, but to begin an honest conversation about what it would take for Malaysian enterprises to invest, operate, and grow here,โ€ he added.

The Chairman also emphasized the potential for cooperation in halal industries, noting that ZAMBOECOZONE has established the Asian Halal Centre and sees Malaysiaโ€™s established experience in standards, certification, and market access as a valuable area for possible partnership.

The visit concluded with the presentation of tokens, a photo opportunity, and a guided tour of the special economic zone. ZAMBOECOZONE said it will continue engaging the FMM delegation and other Malaysian business stakeholders to pursue prospective investments that can generate employment, diversify local industries, and strengthen Zamboanga Cityโ€™s position as an emerging investment and trade gateway in the Southern Philippines.

The Zamboanga City Special Economic Zone Authority and Freeport (ZAMBOECOZONE), under the leadership of Chairman and Administrator Raul M. Regondola, DBA, PhTD, joined the City Government of Zamboanga for a flag-raising ceremony commemorating the National Heroesโ€™ Day on Monday, 31 August 2026.

Today, we pause to honor the extraordinary courage of every Filipino who has fought for our nation's liberty and peace. As history reminds us, this occasion does not single out one specific name; rather, it provides an opportunity to reflect on the collective sacrifices of all our heroes, both old and new.

Further, we recognize that true heroism is also found in the daily grindโ€”in our hardworking labor force, dedicated enterprises, and resilient community builders who continuously drive our local economy forward. Their dedication ensures that the freedom our ancestors fought for translates into tangible progress and prosperity for Zamboanga City and beyond.

Let us honor their enduring sacrifices by working together to build a stronger, more vibrant nation.

A productive week at the Zamboanga City Special Economic Zone Authority and Freeport (ZAMBOECOZONE) concluded with an afternoon dedicated to movement, connection, and renewed energy through the Authorityโ€™s Wellness Friday program.

At 03:00 PM, ZAMBOECOZONE personnel gathered for friendly sports and recreational activities that brought colleagues together beyond their regular workstations. The afternoon offered an opportunity to stay active, build stronger working relationships, and return refreshed for the challenges and commitments of the coming week.

The program reflects the Authorityโ€™s aspiration of a public service that is strengthened when the people behind it are given space to recharge, connect, and maintain their well-being. By supporting a positive and active workplace culture, ZAMBOECOZONE continues to nurture a workforce prepared to serve with energy and purpose.

Operations remained accessible throughout the activity. Assigned personnel continued to attend to essential functions and frontline concerns, ensuring that the needs of locators, investors, stakeholders, and the public were addressed without disruption.

ZAMBOECOZONE commends all participating personnel for embracing the spirit of Wellness Friday and recognizes the employees on duty whose commitment helped sustain the Authorityโ€™s responsive service delivery. (Words by J. R. Ramirez / Photos by M. N. Uking)
