MANILA, Philippines — The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) recorded a total of P53.5 billion in approved investments from January to July 2025, an increase of 63.82 percent from P32.7 billion the same period last year.
These investments are expected to generate 6,591 new jobs for Filipinos, a 6.2 percent jump from 6,544 jobs in the period of January to July 2024.
“These numbers represent opportunities for thousands of Filipinos and signal the private sector’s trust in our vision of building resilient, smart, and inclusive cities,” BCDA President and CEO Joshua M. Bingcang said.
Some major investors and partners that have signed contracts with BCDA in the first seven months of 2025 were:
- The Science Park of the Philippines, Inc.,
- Sta. Clara International–Saekyung Realty and
- Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas for developments in New Clark City.
For Camp John Hay:
- Ayala Land, Inc.,
- Stern Real Estate,
- Top Taste and Trading, Inc.,
- Amare La Cucina and
- Prime Collective Corp.
“As we drive progress in Central and Northern Luzon, we are proving that government-led development can attract private capital, unlock economic potential, and transform entire regions,” Bingcang said.
This surge in investments, as BCDA said, supported the administration’s eight-point socioeconomic agenda, particularly its goals of job creation, regional development, and improving the investment climate.
