Bingcang, who began his career as a junior engineer on the Bonifacio Global City project \u2014 now the country\u2019s most successful business district \u2014 continues to steer BCDA\u2019s expansion of developments nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among BCDA\u2019s most successful collaborations with Japan is the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway, funded by the Japan International Cooperation Agency. Another is the new passenger terminal at Clark International Airport, the result of a public-private partnership with a consortium formed by listed builder Megawide Construction and Bangalore-based airport operator GMR Infrastructure. The terminal is run and maintained by a consortium including Filinvest, Cebu Pacific and Singapore\u2019s Changi Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the heart of BCDA\u2019s current strategy is New Clark City, a 9,450-hectare smart and green metropolis in Central Luzon. Developed in partnership with the Japan Overseas Infrastructure Investment Corporation for Transport and Urban Development, Aecom and Nikken Sekkei, the city is envisioned as a hub for manufacturing, technology and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are transitioning from official development assistance to foreign direct investment,\u201d Bingcang said. \u201cJapanese partners have shown strong confidence \u2014 from master planning to power and industrial park development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are not just building cities \u2014 we\u2019re building futures. With continued support from Japanese partners, BCDA developments are shaping the next era of Philippine growth.<\/p>Joshua M. Bingcang<\/strong>, President and Chief Executive Officer of BCDA<\/mark><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n

Key Japanese firms such as Marubeni and Tokyo Electric Power Co. have joined local utility Meralco in developing power infrastructure. A 100-hectare industrial park designed with Science Park of the Philippines Inc. and Sojitz reflects BCDA\u2019s vision to generate up to 600,000 jobs. New Clark City also features underground utilities, wide tree-lined walkways, and a driverless shuttle system funded by Japan\u2019s New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clark\u2019s strategic location has attracted logistics giants, including UPS, FedEx and Lufthansa Technik. Future phases will expand the airport to a capacity of 80 million passengers and link it to Metro Manila via the North-South Commuter Railway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond Clark, BCDA is revitalizing Camp John Hay in Baguio with a new master plan focusing on environmental, social and government issues, and redeveloping the Poro Point Freeport Zone in La Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are not just building cities \u2014 we\u2019re building futures,\u201d Bingcang said. \u201cWith continued support from Japanese partners, BCDA developments are shaping the next era of Philippine growth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
