MAYOR Crisostomo Garbo of Mabalacat City in Pampanga led the groundbreaking rites for the AyalaLand Logistics Holdings Corporation’s Pampanga Technopark in Bgy. Tabun, in the city.
The 200-hectare park is the first masterplanned, agro-industrial commercial township in Central Luzon that is expected to provide 100,000 job opportunities, recreation and innovation to Mabalacat City residents.
