The Philippines and the United States plan to build a 4,000-acre industrial hub in New Clark City to strengthen supply chains for technology and manufacturing. The project follows the Philippines joining Pax Silica, a US-led program focused on securing supply chains for semiconductors, critical minerals, and data systems. The Philippines is now the 13th country in the initiative, along with nations like Australia, India, and South Korea. The move reflects closer ties between the Philippines and the US and aims to improve supply security in key industries.
