San Miguel Corporation (SMC) has mentioned that their multi-billion dollar aero-city located in Bulacan will entail “inclusive growth” for their stakeholders, specifically those that are near or in the area of development.

 

SMC President Ramon Ang stated that the company has boosted its efforts to secure business opportunities and sustainable livelihood for an estimated 500 families residing in Bulakan, Bulacan by launching a livelihood center and officially establishing a consumers’ cooperative.

 

With the San Miguel Aerocity Inc. (SMAI) Livelihood Center, former residents of the New Manila International Airport (NMIA) project site “can avail of training support and immediately apply the skills they’ve learned, to earn a stable income for their families at the livelihood center located in Barangay San Nicolas, Bulakan.”

 

“Our continuing efforts to engage residents and local officials in Bulakan has allowed us to fine-tune our existing livelihood restoration programs, as well as come up with new initiatives that will adapt to their needs,” Ang said. “With these, we can better ensure that the economic growth that the NMIA will bring in the coming years, will be inclusive and will be felt by Bulacan residents and the rest of the country.”

 

SMAI has collaborated with the Gintong Aral Foundation, the Department of Trade and Industry, and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) for the creation of the SMAI Livelihood Center.

 

SMC also launched their Livelihood sa Pag-unlad (LIPAD) consumer cooperative, which looks to allow residents to run facilities that would feature a sewing room, coffee shop, spa, and training areas “to help equip other members of the community with practical skills to increase their chances of employment and also success in individual business ventures.”
