The Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) has given the Green, Healthy, Smart, and Sustainable Ecozone Award to Lopez-led First Philippine Industrial Park (FPIP) for its “notable commitment to promoting healthy industrialization and sustainably-designed, smart, and green economic zone.”
FPIP was one of only two ecozones to receive the award – the first to be given by PEZA to honor outstanding registered economic zone locators.
PEZA opened the new Green, Healthy, Smart and Sustainable Ecozone Award category for the year 2020 ceremonies as a way to encourage ecozone developers to, among other things, “design ecozone towards sustainability and a decarbonized future;” and “adopt clean and green technologies/methodologies” that would make ecozone operations “more efficient and environment-friendly.”

CATALOG MODEL
Last Monday, Bob Dylan capitalized on nearly 60 years of indelible songwriting by selling the rights to his musical catalog to the Universal Music Publishing Group for an amount estimated to be upwards of $300 million. According to Ben Sisario of the
New York Times, the deal “may be the biggest acquisition ever of the music publishing rights of a single songwriter.” What it is without a doubt, though, is another cannonball blasting through the myth that artists will be locked out of their discipline’s pantheon unless they abstain from actively commercializing their work.
