These multi-layered complementations and linkages ensure proximity to suppliers and customers. The benefits of an industrial growth such as CAIP are as diverse as the economic gains it would spell for the country. Moreover, CAIP has a stable source of manpower since Batangas is home to hardworking and highly-skilled people.
