FACTS about PORAC

As the municipality of Porac has its fair share of hilly and mountainous terrains in the majority of its plains and fields, it should come as no wonder that agriculture would play a pivotal part in its people’s livelihood. However, back then, Porac was a ranch in the slope of the Batiawan mountain water was scarce in the mountains, residents were compelled to move to the lower grounds near the “Poraq River” to sustain their need of water. By 1853, the settlements in Porac grew to six barangays namely Dolores, Mitla, Manibaug, Pulung Santol, Pias y Pio and Salu with a total population of approximately 5,500 people. In the early 19th century, Porac became somewhat of an established town with a thriving agricultural sector. It had a functioning local government as well as its very own church. To protect the community from any attacks orchestrated by the Balugas, a Guardia Civil detachment was stationed in the municipality. Spaniards from this detachment were known to marry the locals– a feat which gave the place its distinct and notable Spanish mestizo population. Today, Porac is known to be a vital source of granite and a tamping grown of minerals.

Additionally, it is also home to the Mekeni Food Corporation which happens to be an “AAA” Meat Processing Plant accredited with the National Meat Inspection Service. As it is classified as an “AAA” meat inspection service, the corporation is qualified and licensed to market its products to both the local and international market. More importantly, Porac is home to Ayala Land’s development of a mixed-used estate known as Alviera which has been dubbed as the regional growth center of Central Luzon and would also mark the province as a premier tourist destination in the North. Ayala Land’s venture together with the construction of the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway, Porac is then poised to emerge as the next Industrial Hub of Central Luzon.
