Manila: Investments approved by the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) skyrocketed by 99.5 percent to PHP63.97 billion as of November 19, 2025, compared to PHP32.06 billion in the same period last year.
According to Philippines News Agency, BCDA attributed this substantial growth to the expansion across all their economic zones nationwide, with a significant contribution from New Clark City in Tarlac and Camp John Hay in Baguio City. The investments are expected to generate approximately 8,476 jobs, marking a 29.11 percent increase from the previous year.
Joshua Bingcang, BCDA President and Chief Executive Officer, credited the robust growth to the agency’s master-planned developments and the strong support of the national government. He highlighted the prioritization of vital infrastructure projects within BCDA zones and the maintenance of a stable, pro-development policy environment as crucial factors for long-term capital infusion.
“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,” Bingcang stated.
He further expressed optimism and actively encouraged investors to partner with BCDA, emphasizing the agency’s commitment to contributing to national economic and inclusive development.
