BCDA, CNLCSCA ink deal for swim events at New Clark City

Banking on a young workforce, improved accessibility, growth potential and investor-friendly laws, Poro Point Freeport Zone (PPFZ) in La Union is being pitched to the Taiwan business community as a strategically located, emerging economic hub in the Philippines.
The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), together with its partners, has hosted a series of roadshows and webinars to showcase the country’s new growth centers, including Poro Point and New Clark City in Tarlac, to foreign businesses and investors.
A 34.55-hectare affordable, multi-tenure and climate-resilient housing project will soon rise at New Clark City in Capas, Tarlac, in an effort to create a community for all regardless of age, background and income.
To be located in downtown New Clark City, the housing program will be divided into five phases and will feature a river park, town center, community square, sports park, pocket parks as well as mixed-use residential and commercial developments. All of these will be connected to bus rapid transit and metro rail transit systems, among others.
The Php 3.70-billion first phase of the 19.83-kilometer, six-lane road project connecting New Clark City (NCC) to Clark International Airport has been completed.
Delivery of this 5.33-kilometer segment of the Clark International Airport to NCC Access Road project will provide faster and easier access to the gateway’s new passenger terminal – a cornerstone of the administration’s Build Build Build program. Part of the project’s first phase is the iconic 900-meter bridge crossing the Sacobia River in Bamban, Tarlac.
