The Mactan Export Processing Zone 1 (MEPZ 1) is a 120-hectare industrial estate located at Lapu-Lapu City.  It started out with 8 companies in 1986.  Twenty-four years later, MEPZ 1 has 148 locators.  This growth reflects the fast-paced economic development that is happening in Lapu-lapu City.  The Mactan Export Processing Zone is an industrial tax-free zone. Factories in MEPZ 1 deliver world-class products to the United States,  European Economic Community and Japan. Such products include watches, semiconductors, electrical equipment, garments and precious jewels.  MEPZ 1 is just few meters away from the Mactan Cebu International Airport (MCIA).

It is 4 km away from MCIA and 10 km away from the heart of Cebu City. MEPZ 2 is managed through the partnership of Aboitizland Inc.., Mactan Cebu International Airport Authority and Philippine Economic Zone Authority – a good example of private and government agencies working hand in hand. Most of the firms in the zone are Japanese owned. The same with MEPZ 1, most of the products in MEPZ 2 are electronic, automotive, garments and even medical products that are being exported not only in Japan but also in U.S. and other countries.
MEPZ 1 and MEPZ 2 are not always busy with their production whole year round. There are activities created for employees to enjoy and escape from the stressfull production job. One of these activities is the annual Sportsfest wherein workers can enjoy and participate in all activities.  Also, there is also the annual Fun Run which is held during the sportsfest’s awarding day. Many workers are really looking forward for this event.
If you are unemployed or planning to look for another job then, you might be interested to visit MEPZ. Since there are hundreds of manufacturing firms inside the zone, hirings are non-stop. You can find different job vacancies- from production worker to managerial positions. You can find these job vacancy postings in the bulletin boards which are placed outside or near the main gate of the zone. Some employers provide boxes near the bulletin or in the main gate so any interested applicants can just drop their resumes and applications in the boxes and wait until the employer calls for an interview or examination. Make sure to make an impressive resume since there are hundreds of applicants to compete with. If you want to work in a manufacturing environment then, include MEPZ 1 and MEPZ 2 in your job hunting plans.
