LINGAYEN, Pangasinan — Gov. Amado T. Espino Jr. assured Thursday foreign investors that his constituents are respectful and supportive of businesses that help boost the province’s economy and tourism.

In the latest development in local trade, Espino cited the Korean firm JJGPK Co. Ltd., headed by Mr. Kang Hee Jung, as one of the province’s most promising partners.

“We assure you that we will give our part to your efforts on whatever good intentions you have for our province,” the governor said as he thanked JJGPK executives for their enthusiasm in expanding their business in this province.

He told the Korean investors during a farewell dinner he hosted for them at the Capitol that Pangasinan and its people are committed to developing a warm and healthy relationship with Koreans.

The JJGPK group is now on its fifth visit to Pangasinan to carry out plans for the establishment of various feasible investments here.

The investors, together with the broadcast staff of Money TV Network, one of the biggest broadcasting networks in Korea, visited proposed sites for their projects during their brief visit here.

Some of the projects they have proposed are the development of an eco-tourism zone in extending across Barangays Sabangan, Estanza, Malimpuec and Capandanan in Lingayen.
The JJGPK proposed to help develop the eco-tourism zone where the design for the project is now being prepared by a highly respected architect of Korea who will present the masterplan to Espino in August this year.

The proposed projects also include the establishment of a retirement village in Lingayen.

The JJGPK also plans to put up a call center which shall operate as a knowledge process outsourcing.

It will be an online tutorial center for Koreans who would like to learn English as their second language.

Other proposed projects include the establishment of a surplus center, chicken dressing plant and a cold storage.
