BCDA, DBP-DCI eye digital financial management, management infra system in NCC, Camp John Hay

The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) and the DBP Data Center Inc. (DBP-DCI) is set to explore the development of a digital financial management and information infrastructure system in New Clark City and Camp John Hay.

The said partnership was formalized during the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) held at the John Hay Special Economic Zone (JHSEZ) in Baguio City on 28 February 2026.

BCDA President and Chief Executive Officer Joshua M. Bingcang and DBP-DCI President and CEO Michielson L. Luakian signed the MOU that will advance the establishment of this system.

The said agreement aims to strengthen financial management, enhance data-driven decision-making, and reinforce the digital backbone of BCDA’s developments.

Once implemented, the system will deliver more seamless, secure, and efficient transactions for locators and investors, helping create smarter and more business-friendly communities in Camp John Hay and New Clark City.

This initiative supports President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s push for digitalization and good governance, promoting efficient use of funds and technology to improve public services.

“This partnership strengthens our digital backbone. By modernizing our financial management systems, we are enhancing transparency, efficiency, and accountability across our developments,” Bingcang said.

The collaboration will initially cover Camp John Hay through the John Hay Management Corporation, with plans to expand to potential digital infrastructure initiatives in New Clark City and other BCDA-managed properties.

The project involves creating a modern digital system to improve how financial data is handled across BCDA properties. It will make processes faster and more efficient, strengthen data security, speed up transactions, and provide accurate, real-time information to support better decision-making.

Under the agreement, BCDA will support DBP-DCI in undertaking the necessary studies and accessing relevant data, including previously conducted assessments, as well as coordinating with concerned agencies and stakeholders for a period of 12 months.
