The Cagayan Freeport and Special Economic Zone is projecting to create over 5,000 additional jobs with the expected entry of three land-based casino operators once the international airport in Sta. Ana starts operations next year. Cagayan Economic Zone Authority (Ceza) spokesman Chris Valenzona said the three proponents in the casino operations have been negotiating for years but their final decision as to the amount of investments and timetable for the proposed project would entirely depend on the completion of the airport.
