GMA to inaugurate new Clark facilities

By Mark Louie P. Roxas, MT Central Luzon Bureau

CLARK FIELD, Pampanga: President Arroyo is set to arrive here on Friday to inspect the ongoing $105.5-million expansion project of Yokohama Tire Philippines Inc. and the inauguration of the $3-million atrium of Cyber City Teleservices Ltd.

Alex E. DyReyes, an official of Cyber City, said the President is scheduled to lead in the ribbon-cutting rites at the newly constructed atrium of Cyber City which will soon hire 1,500 more call-center agents and programmers to complement its 2,400 employees.

After the inauguration ceremonies at Cyber City, President Arroyo will inspect the ongoing P5.8-billion expansion of the Yokoyama tire factory here.

The Cyber City pioneer call center at Clark, which started with 30 employees in 1999, announced that it has 1,500 job openings for college graduates who are proficient in the English language.

Applicants will be required to undertake a four-week orientation and on-the-job training during the fifth week after which they will be hired as probationary workers and later as regular employees with P8,000 to P10,000 basic pay every month. Regular employees will be entitled to one free meal daily and to a 10-percent salary increase every year.

DyReyes said that Cyber City at Clark will continue undertaking more expansion projects to support Mrs. Arroyo’s job-generation program.

Meanwhile Yokohama will expand its factory and start full operation this coming October with a daily production of some 20,000 from the present 9,000 tires a day capacity.

Yokohama also has started hiring 600 additional workers for the expansion program.

Alberto Lina, the Bureau of Customs chief, said that the Yokohama expansion program came after assurances to lower the tariff rates on imported raw materials.

Clark Development Corp. (CDC) authorities thanked Lina for his “quick response regarding the prospective application of tariff rates for imported raw materials for all the local sales of the tire factory.”

During her inspection of the Yokohama complex, President Arroyo is set to be briefed by CDC officials on the new investment of the tire firm to attract other investors to locate at Clark zone
