US Plans 4,000-Acre Hub in Philippines to Boost Supply Chains

The US said it plans to help build a first-of-its-kind industrial hub in the Philippines to boost production of inputs crucial to American supply chains.

The 4,000-acre hub is intended to be “a purpose-built platform for allied manufacturing” and “an investment acceleration hub where the specific industrial activities are shaped by market demand,” according to a State Department statement on Thursday.
