MORONG ECO-TOURISM AND INDUSTRIAL PARK PROJECT
Morong Special Economic Zone, Barangay Binaritan, Morong, Bataan
About the Project:
The site of the project is a 192 hectares private property located in
Brgy. Binaritan, Municipality of Morong, Province of Bataan. The
property is where the former United Nations Philippine Refugee
Processing Center was located which offered Friendship, Hope and
New Beginnings to some 400,000 refugees from Vietnam, Laos and
Cambodia. The property houses 11 symbolic monuments and
shrines constructed by the former Indo-Chinese refugees. However,
after the refugees left, the property was reclaimed by its private
owners, and starting in 2008 BTPI has stopped all projects and now
ready to leave the premises.
A private concrete
road passes at the
middle of the entire
property from the
SBMA-Morong Road
also called the United
Nation Highway. A
natural boundary is a
river/creek which is the
source of the abundant
water supply system.

(the former Bataan Technological Park, Inc.)

The property provides vast agricultural land where there is available agri-industrial-based labor. It enjoys
the benefits and incentives of a Morong Special Economic Zone (MSEZ). With its size and accessibility, it
showcases its potential as a retirement haven, a corporate training center, and a zone for environment-
friendly small and medium-scale industries through its increased accessibility, investor perks, and
proximity to the Subic Freeport Zone and the Clark Freeport Zone - not to mention the mushrooming
residential and resort developments along the Morong-Bataan coastline.
GETTING THERE
Overlooking the South China Sea, the property is situated in
the most advanced and dynamic region in the country, as it lies
within the area of the Manila-Clark-Subic Economic Triad. It is
just a 20-minute drive from Subic via SBMA-Morong Road and
2 ½ hour-drive from Manila via the SCTEX. Aligned with the
development of Ayala Land's ANVAYA COVE, the property can
be reached by sea through the operation of a passenger
terminal for a direct ferry transport to Manila at the Binanga
Port in Morong.

MORONG SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE
In March 1997, the entire Municipality of
Morong was proclaimed as the
Morong Special Economic Zone (MSEZ),
with the BTPI (Bataan Technology Park,
Inc.) as its Main Zone but even without the
BTPI the property will remain as an
industrial by virtue of the MSEZ
proclamation investors and locators in the
MSEZ may avail of a full range financial
and fiscal incentives.
THE SUBIC-CLARK-TARLAC EXPRESSWAY
Started on April 5, 2005, the Subic-Clark-Tarlac
Expressway (SCTEX) is the country’s longest
expressway with 93.77 kms. Commercial operations
started on April 28, 2008, with the opening of the Subic-
Clark Segment and Zone-A of the portion of Clark-Tarlac
Segment. The opening of Zones-B and C of the
remaining Clark-Tarlac Segment on July 25, 2008 signal
the full operations of the SCTEX.
The SCTEX seeks to transform the Central Luzon region
into a world-class logistics hub in the Asia-Pacific region
through the integration of economic activities in the Subic
Bay Freeport, the Clark Freeport Zone, and the Central
Techno Park in Tarlac and by linking major infrastructures
such as the Seaport in Subic and the Diosdado
Macapagal International Airport in Clark.
LATEST DEVELOPMENT
Available when needed is an EXECUTIVE SUMMARY detailing the historical background how and why
the property got into the hands of the current title holders of the some 192 hectares. The executive
summary was prepared in coordination with the government agencies in Bataan such as Department of
Agrarian Reform (DAR), the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), the Register of
Deeds (RD), the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), and the Local Government of
Morong, Bataan. However, they are not supposed to sign into this paper for obvious reason. In short,
there is no any legal impediment for the transfer of the title to any third party. These government agencies
recognize the fact that the property is private from the very start.
The private owners before the BCDA proclamation seeded the property to the current title holders through
a deed of assignment and the ownership is doubly valid because the Department of Agrarian Reform
covered the property and thereafter granted to farmers-beneficiaries. However, the industrial classification
of the property stays since the whole Municipality of Morong is classified at Special Economic Zone.
ECO-TOURISM PROJECT
The property is an excellent location for an Eco-Tourism & Industrial Park because it is already developed
into eco-tourism ventures. Proximity-wise, it is accessible to CLARK and SUBIC which are the homes of
tourists not to mention the plan of the Disneyland to put-up in the vicinity of Clark-Subic-Morong.

The Bataan Technology Park Inc, as shown in their master plan which they stopped implementing when
the property was reclaimed by private owners, actually planned to establish a retirement housing village,
a mixed use area for agro-industrial establishments, an institutional area, a staff housing area, a leisure
and commercial business area, an area for sports village, a golf course, a leisure subdivision and
housing.
PRICE:
The property is being sold at an agricultural price of PhP 1,500.00/sqm, although the property is classified
as commercial-industrial by virtue of the proclamation of the whole Municipality of Morong as Special
Economic Zone considering that it is already developed and existing facilities are included without added
cost. In fact, a nearby Anvaya Housing Subdivision is being sold at PhP 12,000 to PhP 20,000 per square
meters.
OPTIONS:
1. Purchase: The entire 192 hectare property is actually for sale at P1,500.00/square meter, a price
considered very cheap for an industrial-commercial land. It could be sold on spot cash or through
instalment by pay 30% down payment and the owners will work for the transfer of the title within
2-4 weeks under the name of the buyer. Upon delivery of the TCT to the buyer company, the
buyer shall pay the 70% balance through instalment for one (1) year.
In fact, upon payment of the 30% down payment, the buyer can take over the property by posting
his own security guards and operate the existing facilities consisting of eco-tourism facilities,
administration building, sport facilities, swimming pools and housing cottages, concrete feeder
roads, water system, electric power system, and museums, without added costs;

Plan

2. Joint Venture: you may likewise opt to enter into a Joint Venture where you pay the 40% of the
totals value of the property to enable the owners to transfer the title in the name of the Joint
Venture company. The 60% of the total value of the property will form as the equity of the current
property owner in the Joint Venture Project.
The terminated project were estimated to cost some PhP 2 Billion Pesos and generate some P10 Billion
Pesos in revenues for a period of 3 years, which is more than double the price of the land and cost of
project development, if the same master plan is realized by those whoever will purchase the property.
THE MORONG ECO-TOURISM & INDUSTRIAL PARK
The project will continue the concepts started by the debunked BTPI in the areas of a Mix of Residential,
Commercial, Institutional, Recreational and other Support Facilities. Just about 20-minutes drive, one can
enjoy SBFZ's Tourism, recreational and Air & Sea Port Facilities. The projects long-term vision is to
become an agri-industrial technology park that shall focus on modern and leading edge-biotechnology.
