RATIONALE

The general vision is to develop an intermodal logistics

system covering the Mega-Manila region (from Subic

through Clark to Batangas) that will be integrated globally

and be competitive in cost and quality… to exploit the

Philippines strategic location as a provider of goods and

services (value-added) in the supply chain of huge

markets (Japan, China, ASEAN).





This initiative is likewise aimed at decongesting Metro

Manila by gradually shifting the cargo traffic from

Manila to the new ports of Subic and Batangas.

Ultimately, the Program is expected to reduce transport

cost, improve service quality, enhance the country’s

competitiveness, alleviate poverty, and maximize the

use of the infrastructures through the creation of

opportunities within the Corridor.



COVERAGE

The proposed Subic-Clark-Batangas Corridor covers the regional

economies of Metro Manila, Bulacan-Pampanga-Tarlac-Zambales

(in the north), and Cavite-Laguna-Batangas (in the south).

Together, these regional economies already account for about halfof the countries total output (GDP).

CENTRAL LUZON

• Central Luzon is still the 3rd largestcontributor to the country’s totaleconomic output, next only toNCR and CALABARZON

•

Industry accounts for 60% of theregions output

• There are more than 1,500locators in CLARK-SUBIC; 450,000TEUs

SOUTHERN LUZON

•

42 Industrial Estates; at least1,000 locators

• More than 1 million TUEs

NORTHERN LUZON

• Regions I and CAR are showinggood prospects (high growth)



The good news is that majority of the

necessary infrastructure are

already in place The challenge is

to maximize their use

• Subic Port NTC 1 and 2

• Batangas International Port

• SCTEx• STAR 2 (south bound lane)

• TPLEx

More infrastructures will be

developed

• CALAx

• Laguna Lakeshore Dike Expressway

• NLEX-SLEX Connector



• As a result of the port congestion in Manila, cargo throughput at the Subic port has

gone up.

• From only 2 regular callers, Subic port now has 6 regular shipping lines servicing

destinations such as Japan, China, Taiwan, and Singapore.

• The new advocacy is to start expanding the capacity of Subic Port (instead of the

Port of Manila).

Planning for the future
