The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) has recorded P64 billion in approved investments for the first 11 months of 2025, doubling the P32 billion logged in the same period last year.
In its November 20, 2025 report, the BCDA said the surge reflects strong investor confidence in the agency’s major development thrusts, particularly in New Clark City and Camp John Hay.
BCDA President and CEO Joshua M. Bingcang said key investments from both local and international partners demonstrate continued confidence in the Philippines’ economic fundamentals and positioning as a premier investment hub. “The momentum is strongly reinforced by the national government's proactive support, which includes prioritizing vital infrastructure projects within BCDA zones and maintaining a stable, pro-development policy environment crucial for long-term capital infusion,” he added.
Approved investments for January to November 2025 reached P63.97 billion, increasing by 99.5 percent from P32.06 billion year-on-year. These projects are expected to generate approximately 8,476 jobs — a 29.11 percent increase from the previous year.
Bingcang said the robust performance highlights investor confidence in BCDA’s master-planned developments and the success of the administration’s economic policies. “This achievement underscores BCDA's vision to be the catalyst for a future where strategic infrastructure development translates into sustainable, investment-led growth, simultaneously creating the platform for more and better job opportunities for all Filipinos,” he said.
The highest investment activity was concentrated in BCDA-managed economic zones, particularly in New Clark City in Tarlac and Camp John Hay in Baguio.
Major partners that signed contracts with BCDA this year include Eagle-K GC Corp.; Eagle-K RV Corp.; the consortium of Global Heavy Equipment & Construction Corp., ATD Waste-to-Energy Corp., and Uttamenergy Ltd.; Science Park of the Philippines, Inc.; Sta. Clara International–Saekyung Realty; and Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas for New Clark City developments. Meanwhile, Istana Development Corp., Meridian Commercial Centers, Inc., Ayala Land, Inc., Stern Real Estate, Top Taste and Trading, Inc., Amare La Cucina, and Prime Collective Corp. invested in Camp John Hay.
“We remain optimistic and actively encourage our investors to partner with BCDA as we make a vital headway in our mission to contribute to national economic and inclusive development,” Bingcang said.
BCDA, vested with corporate powers under Republic Act 7227, remains a key driver of economic growth through the development of integrated business centers and communities nationwide.
