The Clark Development Corporation (CDC) is encouraging local businesses in Pampanga to participate more in the supply chains of Clark-based companies to boost employment. The CDC, which oversees the development of Clark International Airport and surrounding areas, emphasized that sourcing locally can generate more jobs and support the regional economy.

The CDC chief highlighted that increasing local participation in supply chains will not only benefit Pampanga businesses but also strengthen the economic ties between the region and the Clark area. This initiative aims to create a more sustainable and integrated economic model that leverages local resources and expertise.

This push for local sourcing comes as part of broader efforts to enhance economic activity in Pampanga, a key region in the Philippines' Central Luzon area. The CDC has been working to attract foreign investments and develop infrastructure, with the goal of making Clark a major economic hub. By encouraging local businesses to engage with Clark-based companies, the CDC hopes to create a more resilient and self-sustaining economic ecosystem.
