Here comes another form of investment in the province.

Engr. Pepe Tioco, one of the advisers of Iloilo governor Niel D. Tupas Sr., disclosed that a foreign investor is planning to put up a logistic center in the future Iloilo International Airport in Cabatuan-Sta. Barbara area.

Tioco said the investor coming from Saudi Arabia in a communication addressed to the provincial governor expressed interest in putting up the logistic center that would cover services such as cargo handling, packaging and baggage at the airport.

Tioco said the proposed project if realized would create more employment and income for the province. It would also be an investment opportunity for the province.

He added that initial talks had already been made with the Air Transportation Office (ATO) with regard to the project.
