PEZA chief Panga ‘signs off’ after 28-year career at the agency

Tereso Panga leaves the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) as director general with pride and gratitude, having been the first head of the investment promotion agency from the ranks.

In a post on his personal social media page on November 13 titled “Signing off with all the warmth”, Panga extended his “warmest congratulations and best wishes to my successor”, Joshua Bingcang, and wished him “every success and offer my wholehearted support for a smooth transition and PEZA’s continued progress.”

Panga, who started his career at PEZA 28 years ago, was appointed director general in March 2023. Prior to this, he was officer-in-charge since July 2022 and had been deputy director general for policy and planning since 2010.

He joined PEZA in 1998 and rose from the ranks, becoming division chief of policy planning in 2000, zone manager of Lima Technology Center and other economic zones in Batangas in 2002, and zone administrator of Baguio City Economic Zone in 2004 and Cavite Economic Zone in 2008.
