Investments approved by the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) rose 99.5 percent to P63.97 billion as of Nov. 19, 2025, from year-ago’s P32.06 billion.

BCDA, in a statement Thursday, attributed the growth to expansion across all their economic zones nationwide, but majority was contributed by the New Clark City in Tarlac and Camp John Hay in Baguio City.

It said the investments are projected to generate around 8,476 jobs, up by 29.11 percent compared to the same period in 2024.

BCDA President and CEO Joshua Bingcang traced the strong growth to the agency’s master-planned developments and the strong support of the national government by “prioritizing vital infrastructure projects within BCDA zones and maintaining a stable, pro-development policy environment crucial 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,” he said

“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 added.

Among the major investors and partners that signed contracts with the agency this year are Eagle-K GC Corp., Eagle-K RV Corp., the consortium of Global Heavy Equipment & Construction Corp., ATD Waste-to-Energy Corp., Uttamenergy Ltd., Science Park of the Philippines, Inc., Sta. Clara International–Saekyung Realty, and Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas for developments in New Clark City.
