As the expressway network of Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC) continues to expand, entrepreneurs across the Philippines are discovering new opportunities beyond the capital. At the forefront of this movement is MPT Mobility, empowering business owners to reach underserved markets and streamline operations through smart, tech-enabled mobility solutions.
MPT Mobility Helps Entrepreneurs Break Boundaries
With MPT Mobility providing digital tools that support seamless travel across major expressways, entrepreneurs are no longer limited by geography. From Cavite to Cebu, improved infrastructure and smart mobility services are redefining the way business is done.
Thanks to innovations like Easytrip RFID and the MPT DriveHub app, business owners can now plan their routes, manage toll expenses, and monitor traffic in real time. These solutions simplify logistics and reduce travel friction—critical for businesses expanding to provincial markets.
Why More Entrepreneurs Are Going Beyond Metro Manila
Metro Manila’s traffic congestion, high operational costs, and intense competition are prompting businesses to explore alternative growth hubs. With over 600 kilometers of connected expressways nationwide, travel times between urban centers and emerging regions have been drastically reduced, unlocking the potential of untapped local economies.
According to the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), improved expressway access is a major factor driving business decentralization. As MPT Mobility enhances the travel experience across the NLEX, SCTEX, CAVITEX, CALAX, and CCLEX corridors, doing business outside the capital has never been more practical—or profitable.
Real Growth in the Regions
This shift is supported by strong economic data. From January to November 2024, the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) recorded PHP 186.1 billion in approved investments—a 32% increase from the previous year. These projects, many located outside Metro Manila, are expected to create 60,000 jobs and generate over USD 3 billion in exports.
Economic growth across key regions reflects this trend. In 2023, Central Luzon posted a 6.1% GDP increase, CALABARZON and Davao Region followed closely, while Central Visayas led with 7.3% growth. Entrepreneurs tapping into these markets benefit from lower costs, local incentives, and reduced saturation.
