LIPA, BATANGAS — A transformative chapter in Batangas’ development is unfolding—one defined not only by expansion, but by a purposeful connection between business growth and human potential. At the center of this transformation stands LIMA Tower One, the first premium, PEZA-registered office building in the province, setting a new benchmark for progress and sustainability.
More than a striking landmark, LIMA Tower One embodies Batangas’ ascent as a prime destination for global enterprises. Industry leaders such as Conduent and Revolve have established operations within its world-class facilities—attracted not only by infrastructure, but by the confidence in Batangueño talent and capability.
“Batangas is home to a deep and diverse talent base that is ready for the opportunities ahead,” said Monica Trajano, Vice President for Commercial Strategy at Aboitiz Economic Estates. “Through LIMA Tower One, we see how a well-prepared workforce and an enabling environment can redefine where and how companies choose to grow.”
Batangas boasts a workforce of 1.43 million, marked by youth, technical proficiency, and digital fluency. Its strategic proximity to Metro Manila, complemented by a robust network of educational institutions, positions the province as a natural hub for IT-BPM, high-value services, and knowledge-based industries. Central to this ecosystem is LIMA Estate—a 1,000-hectare mixed-use economic center integrating industrial, commercial, and lifestyle components in one progressive environment.
To deepen the synergy between industry and education, Aboitiz Economic Estates established the Talent Edge Hub—a facility dedicated to training, upskilling, and connecting Batangueños to meaningful career opportunities. Designed as a bridge between academe and enterprise, it ensures that graduates are not only employable but globally competitive.
This initiative is further strengthened by the forthcoming Batangas State University–LIMA Campus, envisioned as a premier center for industry-based learning. “Talent is at the core of every successful enterprise,” affirmed Clifford Academia, Vice President for Operations at Aboitiz Economic Estates. “Our collaboration with Batangas State University guarantees that our locators have access to professionals who are capable, committed, and deeply rooted in the community.”
Anchored by sustainability and well-being, LIMA Tower One, certified BERDE and WELL Core Gold, serves as the crown jewel of the LIMA Biz Hub. Together with the Talent Edge Hub and the university partnership, it forms a dynamic ecosystem where innovation thrives, enterprises flourish, and Batangueños shape the future of progress—right in the heart of Batangas.| – BNN Integrated News
