What you will get as a member

Membership in CILA opens doors to exclusive resources, networking, and a community working on business interests inside the Clark Freeport Zone. Six things the association does for member companies.

Advocacy and representation

Your voice in the Ecozone

A recognised organisation that has influenced critical decisions affecting locator operations. The best channel for airing issues and grievances with CDC, DOF-BIR, Customs, DOLE and private entities.

Forums and consultative meetings

Platform for dialogue and insight

Sponsored forums, dialogues and consultative meetings give your organisation a venue to raise problems, state your position on specific issues, and get concrete, current information relevant to your operation.

Business network and benchmarking

Grow your business connections

Expand your network and benchmarking capability through CILA's affiliations with national and local chambers of commerce and industry, and through trade missions that open the company to new growth.

Professional development

A medium for your personnel to advance their knowledge and skills through sponsored training and seminars, and through collaboration projects with government agencies and private companies.

Questions members ask first

How much are the annual dues?+

Dues depend on membership class and are set by the Board each year. The Secretariat sends the current schedule with your acknowledgement, so nothing is charged before you have seen the figures.

What does good standing mean?+

Annual dues paid in full for the current year. Good standing is what carries full voting rights at regular membership meetings and eligibility for the Board and executive positions.

We are not located inside the Freeport. Can we still join?+

Associate membership exists for this. It suits individuals and businesses that engage in business activities with investors or locators in the zone without being located inside it.

How long does the review take?+

Applications go to the Membership Committee, and you receive an acknowledgement by email within 2 business days. The Secretariat then sends the requirements list, and approval follows once documents are complete.

Can we attend a meeting before joining?+

Yes. Prospective locators can sit in on a general membership meeting as a guest. Call the Secretariat and they will arrange it.

Who attends the free quarterly meetings?+

Two participants per member company, with meals included, at the quarterly general membership and focus group meetings.

Every locator hits something they cannot solve alone.

A permit, a ruling, a policy change. CILA is where those get raised. Start your application.
