Marcos Signs Proclamation Establishing New Economic Zone in Iloilo

A Major Boost for Investment, Jobs, and Property Growth

Great news for investors and property buyers in Iloilo City and across Western Visayas! Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has signed a proclamation creating a new economic zone in Iloilo—a strategic move to attract investments, generate jobs, and accelerate regional development.

This development positions Iloilo as a rising hub for business, manufacturing, logistics, and technology—unlocking new opportunities for real estate growth.

Why the New Economic Zone Matters

The new ecozone is expected to draw both local and foreign investors, supported by business-friendly incentives such as:

  • Tax breaks and fiscal incentives
  • Streamlined business registration and approvals
  • Improved infrastructure and logistics support

The project is aligned with the government’s plan to decongest Metro Manila and decentralize investments to high-potential provinces like Iloilo.

What This Means for Iloilo’s Real Estate Market

With the ecozone development, Iloilo is likely to see:

  • 📈 Increased demand for housing and rentals
  • 🏢 Growth of commercial and industrial spaces
  • 💼 More job opportunities, attracting workers and professionals
  • 🏙️ Rising property values near business and industrial hubs

For investors, early entry into high-growth areas often means stronger capital appreciation and rental yields.

Government Agencies Leading the Project

Implementation and management will be overseen by:

  • Department of Trade and Industry
  • Philippine Economic Zone Authority

Construction is expected to begin in the coming months, including industrial parks, commercial spaces, and support infrastructure to accommodate incoming businesses.


Why This Is Good News for Buyers & OFWs

Major economic developments typically fuel long-term property growth. For homebuyers and OFW investors, Iloilo offers:

  • Affordable entry compared to Metro Manila
  • Strong rental demand from workers and executives
  • Long-term value appreciation tied to regional growth
