DAGUPAN CITY – A group of investors from Korea presented a master plan and latest Korean technologies to support three of their seven proposed business ventures in the province of Pangasinan during the business trip of Gov. Amado T. Espino Jr. to South Korea.
According to provincial information officer Butch Velasco, who joined Espino in Korea, the three presentations of the JJGPK Co. Ltd. include the development of the eco-tourism zone, cold storage, and chicken dressing plant.
“The other projects that were also discussed during the visit of Governor Espino to Korea are the Korean surplus center, knowledge process outsourcing, mining and water transport,” Velasco said.
The governor told them that they must start any of their projects as soon as possible to provide and generate jobs and livelihood opportunities to Pangasinenses.
It was agreed that a retirement village, which will not only cater to Korean retirees but also to Filipino Korean war veterans, and a golf course, will be the first to be set up.
The retirement village will feature high-rise residences that will cater to upper and mid-income clients.
The eco-tourism zone, conceptualized under the working title “Lingayen Land,” will be a self-contained community that will feature African and Asian safari tours with its own mono trail, and entertainment center which will be a smaller version of Disneyland, and will be dubbed “dream land.”
With children as its target market, the theme park will also include the significant periods of Philippine history.
The complex will also be a host to a yacht club, docking areas, water sports area, a string of restaurants with a floating restaurant as a highlight, hotels and a water park with a wave pool for children and adults.
Velasco said that that the governor’s party also visited a cold storage facility, similar to what is being planned to be constructed here, that does not utilize ice or blower which can further prolong the life of stored fruits or vegetables.
The governor also met the inventor of the facility and he is willing to visit Pangasinan.
Another investment to help poultry growers in Pangasinan is the chicken dressing plant.
This facility uses technology that is six times faster than an ordinary chicken dressing plant in the country.
For the surplus center, the Korean investors plan to sell slightly-used home and office appliances.
