Clark Freeport, Pampanga — The Clark Development Corporation (CDC) is aiming to employ at least 100,000 people by 2016.
This was disclosed over the weekend by CDC President Arthur P. Tugade, who said the actual employment at the state-run office is already 72,000 and that the hiring for some 30,000 will be its goal for this year.
Tugade said the CDC is also targeting for 2016 an investment of $15-billion or at least a minimum of $300 million hard investment.
“That means 40 to 50 percent additional for this year,” he said, adding it was already able to secure a total $10 billion investment in 2013.
Tugade said CDC is seeking employment generators such as business processing outsourcing (BPOs) or call centers, light manufacturing and tourism.
