Ramos.

The Zamboanga City Special Economic Zone Authority and Freeport or ZAMBOECOZONE was primarily conceived to be a critical and vital economic hub that would bring about positive change for the City of Zamboanga and the wider Peninsula region. The Zamboanga City Special Economic Zone Authority and Freeport was created through Republic Act 7903 authored by the late Congresswoman Maria Clara Lorenzo Lobregat. It was enacted into law on February 23, 1995 and made operational a year later with the appointment of a Chairman and Administrator and the members of the Board by former president Fidel V. The ZAMBOECOZONE & FREEPORT is a means to attract local and foreign investors, generate employment opportunities, and encourage the regional dispersal of industries. The Governing Principles of RA 7903 (Sec. 4[a]) calls for the ZAMBOECOZONE & FREEPORT to be developed into a decentralized, self-reliant and self sustaining agro-industrial, commercial, financial, investment and tourism center and Freeport with suitable retirement and residential areas.

The Zamboanga City Special Economic Zone Authority and Freeport (ZAMBOECOZONE) joins the nation in observing Ninoy Aquino Day today, August 21.

Chairman and Administrator Raul M. Regondola, DBA, PhTD, pays tribute to the enduring bravery of Senator Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr., noting that his conviction that "the Filipino is worth dying for" continues to inspire the Authority's public service mission.

In honoring the ultimate sacrifice that reawakened our nation's pursuit of democracy, Chairman Regondola affirms that selfless dedication is a living commitment and remains a cornerstone of our efforts to foster progress, integrity, and unity.

This commemoration serves as a powerful reminder that if our heroes could stand fearlessly for truth and freedom, then we, too, can overcome modern struggles to build a more just and resilient community.

Together, we stand not only as stewards of our democratic ideals, but as public servants dedicated to building a brighter tomorrow, proudly contributing to a peaceful, empowered, and progressive Philippines. (Words and Design by J. R. Ramirez)
