CLARK FIELD, Pampanga — It’s likely to be a merry Christmas for some 350 investors of the Clark special economic zone, along with their more than 47,000 employees. 


This, as Sen. Ralph Recto told The STAR yesterday that there is now a consensus among his colleagues in the Senate to pass "as soon as possible" two bills he sponsored last August to remedy the problems created by the decision of the Supreme Court declaring that the Clark ecozone was not entitled to tax exemption privileges.
