FPIP vice president Ricky Carandang said the recognition reflects the strong partnership between the industrial park, its tenant companies, and the city government, adding that they remain committed to supporting local growth.
Several manufacturing firms inside FPIP ranked among the top taxpayers, including First Philec Inc., PMFTC Inc., Astemo Philippines Corporation, Kerry Manufacturing (Philippines), Inc., and Uni-President (Philippines) Corp..
FPIP and its expansion site, First Industrial Township, Inc., were also listed among the top real property taxpayers, along with locators such as Canon Business Machines (Philippines), Inc., Shimano (Philippines) Inc., and WCL Ventures Development, Inc..
Companies including Honda Philippines, Inc. and Nestlé Philippines, Inc. were recognized in both business and real property tax categories.
Mayor Sonny Perez Collantes highlighted the private sector’s role in helping fund public services such as healthcare, education, infrastructure, and livelihood programs.
