The Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) is moving its head office back to Pasay City from Taguig City on August 24.
The temporary office is located on the 10th floor of DoubleDragon Center West Building, DD Meridian Park, Macapagal Avenue, Pasay City, according to PEZA director general Charito Plaza in Memorandum Circular No. 2020-0044.
PEZA was supposed to move to DoubleDragon Center last March from its office in Taguig.
PEZA’s official contact numbers will not change despite the move. However, during the transition period from August 18 to August 23, PEZA may only be reached through email and official mobile numbers. The official contact numbers are available on PEZA’s website.
Plaza early this year said PEZA had secured an P800-million loan from the Land Bank of the Philippines to construct its own 13-story building on the same site as its old office on Roxas Boulevard in Pasay City.
PEZA in a separate statement said its management has decided to temporarily move to a bigger office and “a more strategic location” while its own building is being constructed and since the contract for its Taguig office is already expiring on August 31, 2020.
Plaza said the formal opening of PEZA’s head office will be on September 28, 2020.
“The Double Dragon office space in Pasay provides a strategic location as it is nearer to the airport, and other facilities which will be convenient to both foreign and local investors,” Plaza said.
Apart from PEZA, the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority is a tenant of Double Dragon; two other government agencies will operate out of the same building.
