In March 1997, the entire municipality of Morong was proclaimed as the Morong Special Economic Zone (MSEZ), with the Bataan Technology Park as its Main Zone.  

This 365-hectare property, is once the site of the Philippine Refugee Processing Center, which offered friendship, hope and new beginnings to some 400,000 refugees from Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.  The BTP houses 11 symbolic monuments and shrines constructed by the former Indo-Chinese refugees.  Read More

In 2011, BCDA and BTP officials and guests unveiled a shrine commemorating Blessed Pope John Paul II, who celebrated Holy Mass before some 20,000 Vietnamese, Cambodian and Laotian refugees three decades ago on February 21, 1981.  To date, the Park maintains its identity as a “histo-cultural”, educational destination, owing to its rich history as the former PRPC, where the Philippines and its people played its humanitarian role as host to some 400,000 refugees from Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia during the Vietnam War in the 70’s.  Carrying on as a place of hope and concord, the BTPI now accommodates plans to transform the park into a spiritual pilgrimage destination for the international community.


Getting There
Overlooking the South China Sea, the BTP is situated in the most advanced and dynamic region in the country, as it lies within the area of the Manila-Clark-Subic economic triad.  It is just a 20-minute drive from Subic and 2 ½ hour-drive from Manila via the SCTEX.  Aligned with the development of Ayala Land's Anvaya Cove, the BTP can reached by sea through the operation of a passenger terminal for a direct ferry transport to Manila at the Binanga Port in Morong.

Investing in BTP
Investors who wish to put up can enjoy the following benefits: a)  5% levy on Gross Income Earned (GIE) in lieu of all national and local taxes and duties; b) tax and duty-free importation of raw materials and capital equipment; and c) management of the zone as a separate customs territory, ensuring free flow or movement of goods and capital equipment within, into and exported our of the zone.

The BTP provides vast agricultural land where there is available agri-industrial-based labor. It enjoys the benefits and incentives of a Special Economic Zone.  With its size and accessibility, it showcases its potential as a retirement haven, a corporate training center, and a zone for environment-friendly small- and medium-scale industries through its increased accessibility, investor perks, and proximity to the Subic Freeport Zone and the Clark Freeport Zone—not to mention the mushrooming residential and resort developments along the Bataan coastline.
