PEZA expects more ecozone proclamations early next year

THE Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) said it is expecting additional economic zones (ecozones) to be proclaimed by January, and is targeting 30 new ecozones next year.

PEZA had in October given an estimate of 14 proclamations by year’s end, but now sees the approvals to start coming next month.

“We wrote a follow-up letter to the Executive Secretary (ES). Developers have been meeting with the ES. They were told that by January, there’s going to be another release of newly proclaimed eco-zones,” PEZA Director-General Tereso O. Panga said on the sidelines of the agency’s 30th anniversary event last week.

Mr. Panga said PEZA is also targeting 30 new ecozones in 2026.

Since 2022, 35 new and expanded ecozones have been proclaimed, according to PEZA.

“Most of them (are) strategically located in the countryside to promote regional development. And we have more in the pipeline, including new public economic zones in the Bicol region and in Palawan,” Mr. Panga said at the event.

The Office of the President issues proclamations that designate specific sites as special economic zones, upon the recommendation of PEZA.

Mr. Panga said PEZA is trying to locate ecozones in new areas. “They can only attract investment when there are new locations for development. We’re trying to locate in new growth areas,” he said. — Vonn Andrei E. Villamiel

Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny

The post Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The cryptocurrency world is buzzing with a recent controversy surrounding a bold OpenVPP partnership claim. This week, OpenVPP (OVPP) announced what it presented as a significant collaboration with the U.S. government in the innovative field of energy tokenization. However, this claim quickly drew the sharp eye of on-chain analyst ZachXBT, who highlighted a swift and official rebuttal that has sent ripples through the digital asset community. What Sparked the OpenVPP Partnership Claim Controversy? The core of the issue revolves around OpenVPP’s assertion of a U.S. government partnership. This kind of collaboration would typically be a monumental endorsement for any private cryptocurrency project, especially given the current regulatory climate. Such a partnership could signify a new era of mainstream adoption and legitimacy for energy tokenization initiatives. OpenVPP initially claimed cooperation with the U.S. government.

Commissioner Hester Peirce’s statement was a crucial turning point in this unfolding story. She clearly stated that the SEC, as an agency, does not engage in partnerships with private cryptocurrency projects. This response effectively dismantled the credibility of OpenVPP’s initial announcement regarding their supposed government collaboration. Peirce’s swift clarification underscores a fundamental principle of regulatory bodies: maintaining impartiality and avoiding endorsements of private entities. Her statement serves as a vital reminder to the crypto community about the official stance of government agencies concerning private ventures. Moreover, ZachXBT’s analysis…
