Six companies operating inside the Clark Freeport were recently honored by the Department of Labor and Employment Region III (DOLE-3) for recording “zero accident."

The companies recognized under the program were SIA Engineering (Philippines) from the aviation sector; Montpac Global Solutions Inc. and Travel + Leisure Global Support Services Phils., Inc. from the IT-BPM sector; and APEM Philippines Inc., Troycor Lighting Corporation, and Coronation Premium Manufacturing Inc. from the manufacturing sector.
Panlilio reaffirmed the department’s commitment to help industries sustain safe and productive workplaces.
