Batangas An Agri-Industrial Center
The mainland provinces of the Region IV in the Philippine Island of Luzon have been identified as a premier growth area. The Cavite-Laguna-Batangas-Aurora-Rizal-Quezon subregion,
 otherwise known as CALABARZON, has progressively led the country in terms of investments and employment generation.
Under the CALABARZON Development Plan, the capital of the Province of Batangas -Batangas City - as the major regional urban center, will play the significant role as the main artery of investments. At present, the Batangas City International Port is undergoing a 4-phase development program. The 42-kilometer, 4-lane Southern Tagalog Access Road (also known as South Luzon Expressway Extension) will directly link the Batangas City International Port to Metro Manila.
Batangas City, with its deep coastline, has been identified as the site of the regional agri-industrial hub, the Batangas Regional Agri-Industrial Center (BRAIC). The area is suitable for basic industries requiring private port facilities.
