ABOUT THE COVER Cyclists push off from the Sacobia Bridge in Pampanga for a weekend ride. Spanning 894 meters with six lanes, the bridge is a key feature of One Clark Boulevard, New Clark City’s main link to the Clark International Airport and the Clark Freeport Zone. Both the bridge and the road are critical components of infrastructure in the BCDA’s big, bold moves to unlock the region’s potential. With its striking design, the Sacobia Bridge symbolizes how transformative infrastructure drives growth—and more importantly, becomes a vital part of daily life for local residents.

BCDA ANNUAL REPORT 2024

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES Many military installations that were once closed off to civilians are now being transformed into key hubs for businesses and civic engagement because the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) saw these locations not as ruins of the past, but as strong foundations for the future. In turning these spaces into centers of learning, business, and innovation, the BCDA has helped bring opportunity closer to the people. It has connected distant parts of our country, created jobs, and given our soldiers better support—all while helping build stronger communities. This 2024 Annual Report is a firm reminder that development takes time and commitment. It is not only about land improvement or revenue generation, but about transforming former military properties into instrumentalities of economic growth that serve the public good. We honor those efforts today and reflect on our shared responsibility to sustain this comprehensive plan to bring forth inclusive and more resilient communities.

FERDINAND R. MARCOS, JR. President Republic of the Philippines

In building a Bagong Pilipinas, we must continue to look at what we already have as raw materials for progress. We are committed to supporting agencies that turn strategy into impact and ensuring that every development activity serves both national interest and local needs. The work of the BCDA reflects the government’s assurance that no resource will go to waste, and no opportunity will be overlooked. May your legacy continue to guide and inspire us towards a greater Philippines.

ME SSAGE OF THE CHAIRPERSON

Transformation.

Taking action. I am pleased to report that in the 32nd year of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), 2024 marked yet another banner year for us. Our gross revenue tripled in the past year, rising from Php7.3 billion in 2023 to Php22.1 billion in 2024—a clear testament to the strength and resilience of our organization. This achievement is not the result of chance. It is the product of a long-standing vision of transformation, a commitment to convert properties under our stewardship into centers of economic growth and national development. This success has been made possible by the forward-thinking leadership of BCDA’s past and present trailblazers.

Php22.1B

BCDA’s gross revenue for 2024 202.74% increase from the previous year

My vision for BCDA is likewise rooted in transformation— specifically, in transformational leadership anchored in compassion. Progress should never come at the cost of people’s well-being. A critical first step toward our collective mission is uplifting the lives of the communities within and around BCDA. When we invest in our people by developing their skills, nurturing their talents, and prioritizing their welfare, the benefits ripple throughout the organization. Our employees are not just our greatest asset; they are an essential half of BCDA’s formula for success. Their unwavering dedication, diligence, and exceptional performance drive our achievements and shape our future. Our ultimate goal is to cultivate a workforce that is not only highly skilled but genuinely fulfilled—a community of people who take pride in their work at BCDA. The positive impact of such a culture extends far beyond the organization. We aspire for BCDA to be a benchmark of excellence. I envision BCDA as a dynamic force in propelling national economic development, particularly in the context of the Luzon Economic Corridor. We are fortunately positioned in this effort, with three major projects contributing to this initiative: the Subic-Clark Railway Project, the expansion of Clark International Airport, and the Clark National Food Hub. Central to all our projects is strong collaboration with the national government. Maintaining close communication and coordination with key agencies— including the Office of the President, the Department of Transportation, the Department of Finance, the National Economic and Development Authority, and others—allows us to align with national priorities and boldly pursue transformative initiatives.

BIG, BOLD MOVES

BCDA ANNUAL REPORT 2024

Equally critical to our progress is synergy. This was a core message I shared in my first board meeting as Chairperson. Synergy goes beyond cooperation among the members of the Board of Directors, management, and staff—it includes our collaboration and partnerships across both public and private sectors. When we harness our collective strengths, we amplify our impact. A prime example of this is our work on the recovery of Camp John Hay. Following the Supreme Court’s decision to return the property to BCDA, BCDA’s Board of Directors and management immediately created a Transition Team to coordinate and work with concerned government agencies and stakeholders, for a quick and peaceful transition without any disruption in the operations and activities in Camp John Hay.

With BCDA’s bold ambitions, swift and decisive action is imperative. Coming from the private sector, I am accustomed to efficiency and urgency. While I understand that the government requires adherence to standards and procedures— particularly those rooted in good governance, accountability, and transparency—we must strike a balance. In our mission to uplift the lives of the Filipino people, we must act decisively, promptly, and efficiently within the bounds of the law. I look forward to a stronger and trailblazing BCDA in the coming years. Mabuhay!

Delivering Big, Bold Moves

Php2.61B approved investments in New Clark City

The accomplishments of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) in 2024 are indisputable proof that we are aligned with the Build Better, More thrust of the national government in terms of continuing flagship, high-impact projects in infrastructure development. “Big, Bold Moves,” our strategic plan under the Marcos administration, delivers just that—daring, decisive action with the potential for major impact. Our One Clark Program is one of these moves. It aims to create scale centered on the Clark Freeport and Special Economic Zone, previously the largest U.S. Air Force base outside the U.S. We will do this by consolidating all of Clark’s assets: the Clark Freeport Zone, a one-stop shop for businesses with regulations and incentives that continue to attract investment and boost trade; the Clark International Airport (CRK), which has redefined the airport experience in the Philippines and gives Clark a competitive edge, being the only economic zone in the country so far with an international airport; and New Clark City, the country’s first inclusive, resilient, future-proof, smart city. Infrastructure is a key component of One Clark. In 2024, we completed One Clark Boulevard, the 19.8-kilometer, six-lane road connecting New Clark City, Clark Freeport Zone, and the CRK. Inaugurated in February by no less than President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr., the road has reduced the 45-minute travel time from New Clark City to other districts of Clark to 15 to 20 minutes.

BIG, BOLD MOVES

BCDA ANNUAL REPORT 2024

In November, we broke ground on the Philippine Air Force facilities in New Clark City, making good on our commitment to relocate these facilities from Clark Freeport Zone to a 65-hectare site. The relocation will not only provide the Air Force with world-class, sustainable, and future-proof facilities, but it will also free up 300 hectares of prime property for commercial use. Creating more economic opportunities is another priority of One Clark. We signed contracts with two major international cargo carriers for their expansion: UPS in March, and FedEx in July. Aside from creating jobs, the expansion of their operations will attract other investments and businesses to support the ecosystem. We also signed an agreement with the Philippine Space Agency to locate to New Clark City. The agency, which currently operates from the University of the Philippines Diliman, will lease a one-hectare property initially, out of the 30 hectares allocated to them by the Philippine Space Act. This move will help ensure that the Philippines gets a share of the USD546 billion global space industry. The BCDA’s past projects have been a source of pride for us all. Driven by innovation and anchored in sustainability, they have blazed trails. Bonifacio Global City (BGC), for starters, has proved to be a master-planned city second to none. The underground provision for utilities is in itself an example of future-proofing. Taking off from this, all our contracts in New Clark City now have a mandatory provision: developers must institute innovation in the design of their projects and in the use of resources. Harnessing natural lighting, using smart water facilities, or even coming up with their own renewable source of energy for their development—these are non-negotiable. Another lesson learned from BGC is the need to provide housing for ordinary workers and even minimum-wage earners. In fact, when I assumed office last year, this was one of my commitments. To this end, both foreign and local companies have already expressed their interest to partner with us for a residential development in New Clark City.

BCDA ANNUAL REPORT 2024

BIG, BOLD MOVES

It was not just a year of delivering big, bold moves; we also received support to further our mission of building great cities while strengthening the military. For one, the San Fernando International Seaport in La Union was turned over to the BCDA for development. A critical infrastructure, the seaport has the potential to be a major player in the movement of goods in the region. Second, the Supreme Court released its decision that Camp John Hay in Baguio City be turned back over to the BCDA. We are eager to move forward with the planning for the redevelopment of the property by fully maximizing its potential and leveraging its popularity as a tourism hub. We also closed a deal with Robinsons Land Corporation for one of our major properties in Metro Manila, a 6.1-hectare development in BGC’s Bonifacio Capital District. Deals such as this have propelled the BCDA into being a consistent contributor to government coffers. From the close to Php20 billion in revenue generated from this transaction, 35 percent will go to the military. This is how we ensure our continued support to our biggest stakeholder, the Armed Forces of the Philippines, in their mission of securing the nation. From 1993 to 2024, the BCDA has contributed Php62.80 billion to the AFP, Php51.68 billion of which has gone into the AFP Modernization Program. I’ve seen how the BCDA has contributed to national development; yet, I believe we can do more. I myself, in my 28 years of being part of the BCDA family, have only now reached the point where I can contribute the most, now that I am BCDA President and CEO. With the creative minds, dynamism, and youthfulness of our people, we can continue to do more—not just for the government, but for the country, for generations to come.

ENGR. JOSHUA M. BINGCANG President and CEO Bases Conversion and Development Authority

“Part of our big, bold moves is to be ready for the influx of investors. Clark is ready.” – Engr. Joshua M. Bingcang BCDA President and CEO

In 1992, Republic Act (RA) No. 7227 or the Bases Conversion and Development Act created the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) as well as key economic zones or ecozones aimed at spurring development, generating jobs, attracting foreign and local investment, and raising revenue for the Armed Forces of the Philippines Modernization Program. More than 30 years later, the evolving needs of the times have underscored the necessity of amending RA 7227 to unleash the potential of these ecozones. In 2023, the House of Representatives approved the proposed amendments, the most significant of which is the conversion of up to five percent of each of the ecozones’ total land area from leasehold to freehold status. This allows these lands to be sold for residential and mixed-use purposes, thus

attracting residential developers and addressing the housing needs within these zones. Another piece of legislation e x p e c t e d t o i m p ro v e t h e Philippines’ competitive edge in attracting investments is RA 12066, the Corporate Recovery and Tax Incentives for Enterprises to Maximize Opportunities for Reinvigorating the Economy (CREATE MORE) Act. Signed by President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. in November, it will strengthen the overall growth climate for One Clark, which comprises the Clark Freeport Zone, Clark International Airport (CRK), and New Clark City.

A VOTE FOR CLARK. Senate Chairperson of the Committee on Government Corporations and Public Enterprises Mark A. Villar joined BCDA President and Chief Executive Officer Joshua M. Bingcang and then-BCDA Chairperson Delfin N. Lorenzana during a roadshow in July 2024 to push for Clark’s continued development.

A GATEWAY TO GROWTH. Speaking at the roadshow, Senator Villar expresses confidence in Clark: “I foresee that this will be one of the major engines of growth in our country that will allow us to reach the next level of development.”

Unlocking zones of opportunity More support for catalyzing growth in the BCDA’s ecozones came with a crucial Supreme Court decision giving back to the BCDA the control of Camp John Hay in Baguio City. Likewise, the operation, management, and development of the San Fernando International Seaport in La Union were turned

Finally, the BCDA’s Php4.24 billion project to relocate the Philippine Air Force’s housing facilities from the Clark Freeport Zone to New Clark City will free up 300 hectares of prime property for the proposed Clark Central Business District and a second runway for the CRK.

A WIN FOR FILIPINOS. The Supreme Court’s October 2024 decision settles the long-running dispute over Camp John Hay, confirming that the 247-hectare property, including the John Hay Hotels and golf course, must be returned to the government. A NEW HOME FOR OUR AIR FORCE. A groundbreaking ceremony was held on November 19, 2024 at the Philippine Air Force’s 65-hectare relocation site in New Clark City.

“[One Clark Boulevard] is much more than just an access road. It is part of our plan to propel Clark as an alternate growth area. It is a red carpet rolled out to those who will partake of all the best things that Clark can offer.”

– President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.

Good infrastructure provides a solid foundation for national development, supporting economic growth and signaling stability to potential investors. The Marcos administration’s Build Better, More campaign is a call for such infrastructure.

In response to this call, the BCDA completed One Clark Boulevard, previously called the Airport to New Clark City Access Road—a 19.8-kilometer, six-lane road that reduces travel time between New Clark City and other districts of Clark from one hour to about 15 to 20 minutes. It was inspected by President Marcos in February. But development goes beyond physical structures. It is about supporting long-term quality of life and working toward a future-ready society.

BIG, BOLD MOVES

Development should be rooted in a clear, future-oriented vision. The expansion of the Clark International Airport is crucial. A second runway will boost the airport’s capacity and support the expansion of the Clark operations of two of the world’s top logistics giants, Federal Express Corporation and United Parcel Service, Inc. Development is about being environmentally friendly, such as the advanced lithium iron phosphate batteries produced by the StB GIGA Factory—the Philippines’ first manufacturing plant for these batteries and the first locator at the 120-hectare Filinvest Innovation Park in New Clark City. Inaugurated by President Marcos in September, the factory is expected to pour in more than Php5 billion annually into the local economy and bring in an

Development sometimes relies on successful public–private partnerships, the kind that the BCDA and Robinsons Land Corporation aim to replicate in their joint venture for the Bonifacio Capital District, a mixed-use development on a prime 61,761-square meter property in Taguig. And yes, development is for people.

At the BCDA, all movement drives results forward, toward sustainability and resilience. This is true progress—done with purpose and impact. One of these moves was putting in place an energy-efficient public transportation system that will run within New Clark City, the Clark Freeport Zone, and the Clark International Airport. The Philippines’ first publicly accessible, self-driving bus by Japan-based Zenmov, Inc. in partnership with the MC Metro Transport Operation, Inc. was launched in September in New Clark City. Sustainable water management is another move forward. A partnership between the BCDA and Korean Water Resources Corporation (K-Water), a South

Korean government agency, will develop advanced water management systems for New Clark City and Camp John Hay.

Through the partnership with K-Water, the BCDA is deploying AI-powered purification systems to reduce water loss and ensure a stable and high-quality supply, helping to address limitations in water supply coverage and the widespread reliance on wells.

Going carbon-neutral is also a sign of progress. The BCDA partnered with Danfoss Philippines Inc. to formulate a decarbonization framework in New Clark City and move toward energy-efficient solutions. At New Clark City, a pilot city of the Global Future Cities (GFC) Programme of the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), a 44.8-hectare green and open recreational space inspired by global best practices and Philippine heritage will be developed.

Dae Sik Han is an optimist. As Chairman and CEO of Hann Philippines, Inc. he envisions a 450-hectare sustainable community, luxury hotels, and three professional golf courses in New Clark City.

The pay-off is that things are taking shape as planned. The leisure and residential areas are well-positioned. Residential communities are not huddled in one area just as the three golf courses,

hotels, and casinos are spread across a verdant landscape. Synergy is key, and balance between the land and people who will be working in and around the land is crucial. That is why employees are trained to look at their jobs from a symbiotic perspective. “Differentiation” is Mr. Han’s battlecry. The difference can be seen from the services and amenities offered down to the grass used in the golf courses. The turfgrass used, which is from Thailand, is 20 times more expensive but made more eco-efficient by the University of Texas, consuming less water.

BCDA ANNUAL REPORT 2024

Hann Reserve will establish three championship golf courses against the backdrop of the rich natural landscape: a Nicklaus Design targeted to open by the end of 2025, a second course scheduled to open late 2026 and designed by South Korean professional golfer KJ Choi, and a third designed by Sir Nick Faldo and due for completion in 2028. Each course offers a very different playing experience from the other, providing golfers great variety and challenges.

“Two decades ago, people didn’t believe that Clark could transform into what it is right now and what it’s going to be in the future. But I saw potential. That’s why I decided to invest in Clark.”

Mr. Han claims, “I’m not a genius— I’m very determined.” Combine that drive with optimism and the slot machines will keep spinning, golf balls will be set to a perfect tee, tourists will be dipping in the pools, and Hann Reserve residents will live peacefully under the mighty watch of Mount Pinatubo.

A place anyone can call home Integrating affordable housing, inclusive space New Clark City is a community anyone can call home. It’s also a onestop shop: a government center, an industrial park, and a sports venue all rolled into one. The BCDA is pushing inclusivity within a rising residential project in the heart of New Clark City. It features identical units within an over 30-hectare affordable, climateresilient, and multi-tenure property, minimizing any stigma arising from subsidized housing. It offers livable spaces to government locators, private employees, and residents of Bamban and Capas, Tarlac as well as Mabalacat and Angeles City, Pampanga who may opt to reside here. The affordable housing project is one of the strategies under the Global Future Cities Programme of the UK Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office, a technical assistance program that supports sustainable and inclusive urban development in 10 countries and 19 cities. New Clark City is one of the program’s pilot cities, and integration is key to making this rising metropolis blend seamlessly into the existing landscape. 30

In a transformative move that heralded a new era in Philippine aviation, the Clark International Airport Corporation (CIAC), a subsidiary of the BCDA, officially launched the Clark Aviation Capital brand development initiative. The sprawling 2,367-hectare government property surrounding the Clark International Airport was officially renamed Clark Aviation Capital under the leadership of thenCIAC PCEO Arrey Perez, ushering in a bold new chapter in the region’s development as a world-class aviation and business hub.

BCDA ANNUAL REPORT 2024

This property is primed for local and foreign investments, with plans to transform idle lands into a global hub for innovation, investment, and infrastructure to boost airport operations and generate new revenue streams. This massive development will be one of the most ambitious aviation-centered economic zones in Southeast Asia.

The rebranding represents more than just a name change. It reflects a comprehensive vision that goes beyond traditional airport operations and positions Clark Aviation Capital as the aviationcentric business capital of the country. “Clark makes one’s dream work.

But the airport is just one special component in this (aviation) capital we will build, because beyond this airport is an aviation-centered metropolis that will make the dream that works, fly. And because it works, dreams fly,” PCEO Perez said.

What started out as a memorandum of agreement signed between the Department of National Defense and the BCDA in August 2019 is now coming to fruition. On November 19, 2024, the BCDA broke ground on its Php4.24-billion project for the transfer of the housing facilities of the Philippine Air Force (PAF) from the Air Force City in Clark Freeport Zone in Pampanga to New Clark City in Tarlac. Under the agreement, the PAF’s housing facilities will be transferred to a 65-hectare property in New Clark City, while its operational facilities, to a 147-hectare area within the OMNI Aviation Complex near the Clark International Airport (CRK). BCDA ANNUAL REPORT 2024

The relocation to New Clark City is divided into two phases. Phase 1 covers the development of the relocation site. This was awarded to a project contractor in August 2024 and is scheduled to be completed in February 2026. On the other hand, phase 2 is for the construction of housing and community facilities that will include churches, a clubhouse, and an administration building. The procurement for and implementation of this phase are targeted for 2026.

As with past replication projects, the BCDA will upgrade the PAF facilities, making them future-ready, sustainable, and world-class. This will in turn help improve the PAF’s operational readiness, enabling it to fulfill its role in national security and contribute to achieving the objectives of the AFP. The project will also free up 300 hectares of prime property in Clark’s commercial center, which is being considered as the site for the proposed Clark Central Business District and the second runway of the CRK.

The Army Support Command (ASCOM) provides logistical, organizational, and other support to ground forces of the Philippine Army, enabling them to effectively carry out their missions. ASCOM Commander Major General Rogelio D. Ulanday recently shared insights about their new headquarters.

Q&A with Maj. Gen. Ulanday Has the new ASCOM Headquarters helped the Command in its objectives and vision? Our operation has become seamless because our facilities now match our operational demands. We now have warehouses that can accommodate trucks and a maintenance bay that can accommodate all types of vehicles. The replication has had a very positive effect—it boosted everyone’s morale. Before we transferred here, the hesitation was quite high. Now that we’re here, our people don’t even want to go to Manila anymore.These facilities have helped us a lot. What delays or setbacks did you encounter during the relocation and replication, and how did you deal with them? Setbacks are common in construction projects. But they’re nothing when you realize that future generations will use

these buildings. Our means and readiness to answer to its operational capability will remain. This is what (thenBCDA Chairperson and former Defense) Secretary Lorenzana meant when he said the challenge now for the army is how to maintain these world-class facilities. On our part, as logisticians, we can plan how to ensure that our facilities are always ready to meet operational demands. How would you assess the BCDA as a partner and stakeholder? For me, the BCDA is a reliable and forward-thinking partner. Even we did not expect the design of our new headquarters to be this good. The buildings were configured according to rank. This means that the BCDA understands our needs.

The construction dust has long settled in the parts of Fort Bonifacio and Villamor Air Base now known respectively as Bonifacio Global City (BGC) and Newport City. But this does not mean that the building has stopped. Other parts of Fort Bonifacio have since been developed into Bonifacio North; Bonifacio Capital District, also known as Bonifacio South; and Bonifacio East. Whether it is new places to go or things to do, better and smarter ways of living and working, or raising revenue, these districts continue to push the envelope of what is possible in business and leisure in the country.

In 2024, BGC set the pace for inclusive urban progress. The Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation (FBDC), the joint venture behind BGC, closed 2024 with a net revenue of Php6 billion, the highest since 2014, marking a 38-percent increase from the previous year. Net income rose by 19 percent to Php3.5 billion, driven by operational efficiency and growth across multiple fronts.

Leasing operations brought in Php4.7 billion, while condominium sales surged to Php1.4 billion, nearly quadrupling year-on-year. This strong financial performance reflects both the continued desirability of BGC as a premier business and residential destination, and the strategic discipline behind its operations.

One of the year’s most promising milestones was the success of Park East Place, the FBDC’s first foray as a residential developer. With Php1.4 billion in revenue, a 63-percent increase in unit bookings, and 65 percent of its inventory sold or reserved, Park East Place has laid the groundwork for a sequel tower already in planning. The project posted a 71-percent profit margin, showing strong investor and market confidence in BGC’s live–work ecosystem.

High standards in the Bonifacio Capital District A new mixed-use development will soon rise in the Bonifacio Capital District in Taguig City. In August 2024, the BCDA partnered with Robinsons Land Corporation (RLC) to firm up plans for the project. The development will be a seamless, sustainable, and thriving community on a prime 6.18-hectare property, designed to elevate urban living in

Metro Manila. As with other BCDA projects, the RLC development will be carefully master-planned to create a vibrant and dynamic, yet environmentally friendly estate. Accessibility won’t be a problem, with the property located near the South Luzon Expressway, Chino Roces Extension, and Lawton Avenue— where one of the stations of the Metro

Manila Subway, the 33-kilometer underground railway project of the DOTr, will be located. Throughout the Bonifacio Capital District, the high standard in creating townships mindful of the future and rooted in eco-sustainability is evident. Megaworld’s track record of producing harmony and balance between nature and the contemporary can be seen in the sprawling greens preserved and spotlighted in McKinley West. The 34.5-hectare township contains residential and office spaces that gleam with elegance, such as the Park McKinley West, St. Moritz Private Estate, and The Albany Yorkshire Villa. Taking its cue from Southern Europe is McKinley Hill, a 50-hectare property where upscale residences, international schools, and BPO firms are finely positioned, with verdant pauses in between. Likewise, the embassies of Italy, South Korea, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom have settled in the Bonifacio Capital District.

Located along C5, this 60-hectare property will be developed by the BCDA, the National Housing Authority, and Primelux Holdings Development, Inc. Generous green spaces and parks will figure prominently in the development, alongside residential, commercial, and institutional buildings. But it is inclusivity that will set Bonifacio East apart. With its socialized housing, community amenities, green streetscapes, and modern conveniences, the mixed-use development will have a truly welcoming vibe.

Transit-Oriented Development Project On September 4, representatives from the Embassy of Japan, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the Department of Transportation (DOTr), the BCDA, and national and local governments gathered for their second joint coordination meeting on transit-oriented developments ( TODs). The discussion centered on making mobility in Manila more efficient through TODs in and around railway stations being built by the DOTr within BCDA properties. Under an agreement between the BCDA and the DOTr, the potential of the Metro Manila Subway Project and the North–South Commuter Railway—major railways cutting through the BCDA properties in Metro Manila—will be maximized, with the BCDA building TOD communities around four subway stations: Market! Market! in Bonifacio Global City (BGC), the Senate–Department of Education station, Kalayaan Avenue, and Lawton Avenue. These stations will open up to other transport systems such as jeepneys and buses, making for a truly efficient travel experience. Aside from contributing to sustainable urban development, the TODs are expected to draw investment to the area and to the country. BGC–Ortigas Road Link Motorists have been enjoying shorter travel times between BGC and Ortigas Center because of the BGC–Ortigas Road Link— what used to take an hour has significantly gone down to only 12 minutes. This 1.48-kilometer road includes the four-lane, 440-meter BGC–Ortigas Link Bridge, also known as Kalayaan Bridge, which eases traffic congestion from Santa Monica Street in Pasig City to Lawton Avenue in Taguig City. The improvement in traffic flow has rippled across the area, resulting in a 20-percent decrease in traffic in nearby sections of EDSA and C5. Bonifacio South Main Boulevard Consisting of 2.45 kilometers, the Bonifacio South Main Boulevard is a project of the DOTr and the BCDA that will serve as an alternate route from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) to BGC. The six-lane road is expected to improve traffic flow and accessibility on Lawton Avenue and in other areas of Fort Bonifacio and BGC. The BCDA’s contribution to the project includes the Executive Access Road and the widening of Pasong Tamo, which was 34.12% percent completed as of December 2024. Construction of the Main Boulevard by the DOTr will commence after the completion of the subway’s Senate–DepEd and Lawton Avenue stations. Metro Manila Subway Project Subways are the backbone of great cities, cutting through congestion, moving millions of people efficiently, and powering urban life from underground. This is the vision behind the Metro Manila Subway Project. The first phase of the subway project will run 33 kilometers across eight Metro Manila cities, reducing travel time between Valenzuela City in the north and NAIA from over 1.5 hours to just 45 minutes. With a total cost of Php488 billion partly funded by the Japanese government, the subway will connect with other train systems such as the LRT1, MRT3, and the North–South Commuter Railway. The construction of four stations to be situated in Fort Bonifacio will start in 2025. BCDA ANNUAL REPORT 2024

It comes with putting a premium on corporate sustainability in its business activities, and taking their ethical, social, environmental, cultural, and economic impacts into consideration. This brand of CSR is focused on ensuring that the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), project-affected people (PAPs), and the BCDA’s workforce are counted in the company’s development plans and projects. One key component of the BCDA’s CSR efforts is ensuring that the Authority’s activities are in harmony with nature while meeting the needs of the indigenous people (IP) living in and around its properties. Projects such as the Ayta Ethno Botanical Center, a BCDA initiative, are designed to help support the IP’s way of life and sustainable practices. By helping provide livelihood opportunities and social support through its CSR programs, the BCDA creates added value for its various stakeholders, establishing its role as a socially responsible and reliable partner in nation-building.

Paying it forward The BCDA is steadfast in its commitment to its primary stakeholder, the AFP. This involves sustaining efforts towards the modernization of the country’s armed forces and its military facilities, especially those affected by the ongoing development projects of the BCDA; and strengthening the AFP’s national defense and peacekeeping efforts.

One of these activities was a Basic Life Support for Bystanders Training Program. Done in collaboration with the St. Luke’s Medical Center Foundation, Inc. (SLMCFI), the training was conducted on the 312th anniversary of the Municipality of Capas, Tarlac in a bid to create a network of trained responders within local communities. The town’s indigenous people and barangay health workers were equipped with essential life-saving skills to effectively respond to emergencies.

One important aspect of this commitment is keeping the AFP informed of the BCDA’s activities through forums and lectures. One of these lectures was held on January 29, 2024 at the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) in Fort Del Pilar, Baguio City, with then–BCDA Chairperson Delfin N. Lorenzana as the speaker.

The BCDA Board led by Chairperson Paredes and PCEO Bingcang receive multiple awards, including an “Outstanding” rating in the 2023 Corporate Governance Scorecard for Government-Owned and -Controlled Corporations (GOCCs) category from the Governance Commission for GOCCs (GCG).

GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK The BCDA adopts the Code of Corporate Governance for GovernmentOwned and –Controlled Corporations (GOCCs) of the Governance Commission for GOCCs (GCG). In doing so, it proves to be responsive to its stakeholders while serving as a responsible steward of state resources. The BCDA Board of Directors sets policies to guide Management in carrying out its duties and responsibilities with integrity and transparency, which affirms the agency’s full compliance with the Code of Corporate Governance. In addition, the BCDA Manual of Corporate Governance serves as a guide in achieving BCDA’s corporate goals while adhering to the principles of good

corporate governance. The manual, which was approved by the Board on July 9, 2014 through Board Resolution No. 2014-07-115, is envisioned to steer the organization towards excellence and competitiveness both locally and globally, and in doing so, enables the BCDA to be a valuable partner of the government in national development. The manual aims to set in place the promotion and pursuit of corporate governance reforms and the observance of the principles of accountability, transparency, and professionalism within the organization. It details the duties and responsibilities of the Board to the state and its stakeholders, and provides the structure through which the corporation’s objectives are set and the means to achieve them.

project employees, consultants, and contractual employees working for BCDA are directed to strictly observe the provisions of the BCDA Code of Conduct. The code, which incorporates the organization’s Whistleblowing Policy, sets forth the principles, corporate values, and rules of conduct that both officers and employees must observe in carrying out their official duties and responsibilities. This includes the policies instituted by the Civil Service Commission relating to integrity, transparency, and accountability in government. b. Whistleblowing Policy The BCDA’s Whistleblowing Policy promotes responsible reporting and disclosure of vital information related to fraud, bribery, and corruption within the organization. It aims to encourage concerned individuals to testify on matters involving the actions or omissions of the BCDA Board, management, and employees, that are deemed illegal and unethical, or those that are in violation of good governance principles and entail unhealthy business practices that are grossly disadvantageous to the government.

c. No Gift Policy The BCDA’s No Gift Policy adheres to the highest form of ethical standards and leads the BCDA organization to demonstrate fairness, professionalism, and delivery of quality services without expecting any undue favor or reward. d.

shape the BCDA culture. The three tracks of the program had the following themes: Build Self, Build Strength, and Build Synergy. 2. Compliance with Principles on Sustainable Development T h e B C D A c o n s i d e r s p ro j e c t sustainability in the development of each masterplanned community and in the construction of major infrastructure, with safety, creativity, efficiency, and innovation in mind. Sustainability is the foremost consideration in the development of the BCDA’s flagship project: the New Clark City, envisioned to be the country’s first smart, green, and disaster-resilient metropolis. Its development is driven by the BCDA’s vision to integrate the best practices in urban planning, green city development, and smart-city solutions. a. Stewardship As a steward of state resources, the BCDA complies with relevant laws and regulations in the implementation of its projects and in its asset disposition activities. This is to ensure that these projects and activities are environmentfriendly and consistent with the

organization’s sustainable development goals. Primarily, the BCDA takes direction from its Charter, RA 7227, as amended, and Executive Order (EO) No. 62, the Implementing Rules and Regulations of RA 7227, which require environmental impact assessment studies of all major projects. Joint venture projects, on the other hand, are implemented in accordance with the BCDA Guidelines and Procedures for Entering into Joint Venture Agreements with Private Entities, which was patterned after the guidelines of the National Economic and Development Authority and certain provisions of the Build–Operate– Transfer Law. According to the BCDA guidelines, joint venture undertakings may be done through a contractual agreement or through the creation of a separate company. The appropriate joint venture mode, to be determined according to the most efficient and financially viable arrangements for the BCDA and joint venture partners, will be created. The guidelines were approved by the Board through Board Resolution No. 2017-09-148. The Board likewise

BIG, BOLD MOVES

For every development project, there is an approved master plan and design standards to direct project implementation and ensure the optimization of land development. The master plan and design guidelines follow relevant laws and regulations, such as RA 6541 or the National Building Code of the Philippines, and directives of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines. b. Corporate Social Responsibility The BCDA’s stakeholder engagement activities are guided by the BCDA corporate social responsibility (CSR) philosophy, which states: “We at the BCDA are committed to fulfill our mandates to our stakeholders by improving the quality of life of and giving dignity to the workforce, our families, and the communities that we develop through the conversion of former military bases and other

properties into premier sustainable centers of economic growth.” The BCDA Manual of Corporate Governance refers to the company’s CSR philosophy, which identifies five major target stakeholders: the Armed Forces of the Philippines, project-affected communities, the internal organization, the environment, and victims of natural calamities. INSTITUTIONAL MECHANISMS To ensure compliance with corporate governance principles, the Board has created committees to support itself in the performance of its functions: • Organization Development Committee • Audit and Corporate Governance Committee • Risk Management, Legal, and External Relations Committee • Finance and Investments Committee • Business Development Committee 1. Internal and Audit Controls The Board Audit and Corporate Governance Committee (BACGC) ensures that internal auditors have free and full access to all the company’s records, properties, and personnel which are relevant to the internal audit activities, and that the activities are free from interference. In the past year, the BACGC reviewed the audit reports on the Project Management System on Infrastructure Projects, the Operations and Maintenance of the New Clark City NGAC Sports Facilities, and the Series of Amendments to the Independent Consultants Contract for the Clark International Airport. The Committee recommended solutions to the Board that would address the audit findings and ensured BCDA ANNUAL REPORT 2024

that the solutions, as concurred by the Board, were promptly acted upon by Management. Furthermore, the Committee ensured that the Internal Audit Services Department (IASD) reviewed the periodic financial statements focusing on the propriety of changes in accounting policies and practices, and significant adjustments resulting from the audit; and checked the financial reports for compliance with both internal financial management policies and pertinent accounting standards, including regulatory requirements. The Committee likewise ensured that the IASD monitored and evaluated the adequacy of BCDA’s internal control systems, and that proper coordination was made with the Commission on Audit. The BCDA continues to improve its internal processes by seeking certification for its Quality Management System, pursuant to EO No. 605, which institutionalizes standards and mechanisms in implementing the government quality management program. To date, the BCDA is ISO 9001:2015 certified for its Provision of Conversion and Development Services, Real Estate Management, and Engineering for Land and Assets under the jurisdiction and control of the BCDA. This certification was conferred by third-party auditor TUV Rheinland Philippines, Inc., contributing to the BCDA’s improved responsiveness to its stakeholders and compliance with world-class standards in customer service. The ISO 9001:2015 is an internationally accepted standard for quality management and compliance with customer and regulatory requirements. 2. Risk Management System The Risk Management, Legal, and External Relations Committee reviews and evaluates legal strategies, risk

BIG, BOLD MOVES

management measures, and public affairs issues to ensure that risks are identified and are addressed immediately and accordingly. In the past year, the Committee (1) reviewed and recommended for Board approval the legal strategies on various cases filed by or against the BCDA; (2) assessed the information provided by Management on risk exposures and risk management a c t i v i t i e s ; ( 3 ) re v i e w e d a n d recommended measures on legislative proposa ls a ff ect ing t he BCD A; (4) assessed the Annual Planning Program of the Corporate Planning Department as it relates to risk management; and (5) reviewed and evaluated public affairs issues affecting BCDA activities, programs, and projects, as identified and presented by Management. In addition, the Committee reviewed and evaluated the measures recommended by Management to address such issues for consideration of the Board. To ensure that risk factors encountered by the organization are adequately identified, accurately assessed, and correctly prioritized, the BCDA established the Risk Management System. This is documented through the BCDA Corporate Risk Registry. The risk registry was developed through the concerted effort and inputs of the different BCDA departments and units after a series of workshops headed by the Regulatory, Compliance, and Risk Management Department (RCRMD). The BCDA Risk Registry is a tool for the organization to track and monitor the occurrence of risks. It includes the identified risks, the controls to manage them, their level of severity or impact to the organization, and the risk treatment plan. Regular risk assessment is conducted by all departments in consultation with the RCRMD.

on the project, and conducted advance clearing activities prior to the awarding of contracts to avoid right-of-way issues. b. Reputational Risk Reputational risks are similarly situated with operational risks. Because the BCDA ventures into projects that are national in scope, unfavorable news is inherent and unavoidable.

INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION. The BCDA receives two Gold Stevie Awards for its 2021 Annual Report, “We Build as One,” and external newsletter, “COLLECTIVE.” PCEO Bingcang led the delegation to Istanbul, Turkey in October 2024.

In 2023, among the identified risks were operational and reputational in nature. Operational risk refers to the untimely implementation of infrastructure projects, while reputational risk relates to the presence of unfavorable news against BCDA. With the successful implementation of risk control measures, these risks were mitigated, leading to BCDA’s accomplishment of the strategic targets in 2023. Management of Risks in 2024 The BCDA Management, through the President and Chief Executive Officer, is promoting the consolidation of resources and efforts in the Clark Freeport and Special Economic Zone, which is bannered as the “One Clark” vision. The consolidated resources and efforts are projected to generate increased revenues that will finance the component programs and projects of One Clark. However, challenges in the revenue stream might occur due to the following identified risks:

a. Operational Risks With the BCDA being a major development corporation, operational risks on the implementation of infrastructure projects are inherent and unavoidable. Specifically, the untimely implementation of infrastructure projects is attributed to the insufficient deployment of manpower, equipment, and materials by the contractor. This will then result in delays in revenue receipt from partners who are expected to benefit from the accomplished project. Notably, the BCDA has established control measures to lessen the impact of a potential operation risk. Additionally, the identified risks in the development of New Clark City include the delayed implementation of projects, which can be attributed to the lack of transaction advisors, failure of bidding, and challenges in the clearing operations. To address these issues, BCDA conducted market studies, engaged with global and local experts

BIG, BOLD MOVES

This news often comes from high-impact projects that have strong opposition arising from legal and operational issues. The BCDA has mitigated these risks through the implementation of a communication plan that counters negative or wrong information. This plan consists of positive stories about the BCDA, improved relationships with all stakeholders and media partners, and the conduct of a series of dialogues with concerned sectors. It bears stressing that risks are inherent to any public corporation, more so with the BCDA which has a national portfolio and has evolved into a major developer in the country today. While these risks are unavoidable, the BCDA has remained steadfast in implementing controls that will help mitigate these risks, ensuring that the programs, projects, and activities of the BCDA are achieved within the prescribed timelines and are compliant with the standards set by the GCG. 3. Fiscal Management The Board Committee on Finance and Investments reviews the financial feasibility of the disposition of BCDA properties through sale, lease, or joint venture agreement, as endorsed by the Business Development Department. The Committee identifies issues, provides guidance, and proposes solutions, as well as formulates policies and guidelines for the annual and supplemental budgets of the BCDA and its subsidiaries, for the Board’s approval.

It exercises oversight functions in the fiscal management of BCDA resources and financial oversight on subsidiaries and affiliates, including a review of the proposed budgets and the financial performance of the subsidiaries and affiliates. The Committee also provides guidance for the investment of corporate funds and reviews the profitability of investments, for the Board’s approval.

online courses offered by the Institute of Corporate Directors (ICD), among them, the Philippine Economic Briefing entitled, “Beyond Borders: Navigating the Philippine Economic Horizon,” and the Corporate Governance Orientation Program for Government-Owned and –Controlled Corporations. The Board members also attended the Orientation for Board Members conducted by the GCG.

4. Business Development The Business Development Committee reviews the strategies and policies that affect the investment climate, marketing, and after-sales service programs of the BCDA. It conducts periodic review and validation to determine the viability of the assets for disposition, as well as regular validation and review of the Comprehensive Integrated Master Development Plan for the BCDA properties to determine how suitable they are against current real estate trends.

6. BCDA Freedom of Information In compliance with EO No. 2 of 2016, which upholds transparency measures in the Philippine government, the BCDA supports Freedom of Information (FOI) by having its own People’s FOI Manual.

The Committee also maximizes benefits from the disposition and development of land and other assets through the formulation of a sound and strategic business management framework. 5. Continuing Education The members of the BCDA Board further enhanced their knowledge and skill set as key decision makers through capability building and training activities, which are necessary for them to fully understand and efficiently lead the implementation of good governance principles. The BCDA arranges and funds seminars and training sessions attended by the Board of Directors. The Directors are also regularly updated on laws, rules, and regulations that are applicable to the BCDA. In the past year, the BCDA Board members attended webinars and

FOI supports the constitutional right of the Filipino people to access information on matters that are of public concern. The public may request any information or document regarding the BCDA and its projects via the FOI portal. BOARD APPRAISAL The Board recognizes the importance and benefits of conducting regular evaluation to determine its effectiveness. In 2024, the Board conducted self-assessment to evaluate its performance as a whole and that of its committees. The members of the Board and its Committees accomplished their self-assessment questionnaires, which had questions on the following: leadership, roles and responsibilities, independence, stewardship, and reporting and disclosure. ATTENDANCE The Board conducted 25 meetings during the year. The high attendance record of the Board members in 2024 demonstrates the Board’s strong commitment to devoting sufficient time and attention to performing their duties and responsibilities.

2024 Financial Highlights The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) delivered strong financial performance in 2024, underscoring its steadfast commitment to sound fiscal management and strategic asset optimization. This achievement was primarily driven by revenues generated from current leases, joint ventures, concession agreements, and other incomegenerating activities. I. Statement of Financial Position BCDA’s total assets increased by 6.68% from Php205.1 billion in 2023 to Php218.8 billion in 2024. This growth was primarily driven by the collection of upfront cash of Php3.5 billion and the recognition of receivable of Php11.3 billion from the disposition of 6.1 hectares of the Bonifacio Capital District. On the other hand, BCDA’s total liabilities decreased by 3.87% from Php35.4 billion in 2023 to Php34 billion in 2024. The reduction was driven by the debt servicing for the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) project of Php749 million, payment of outstanding obligations of Php115 million and the recognition of foreign exchange gain of Php836 million. Meanwhile, BCDA’s total equity increased by 8.88%, reaching Php184.8 billion in 2024 from Php169.7 billion in 2023. This growth was fueled by strong operational results totaling Php16.6 billion, net of Php1.6 billion in dividends remitted to the National Government.

II. Statement of Comprehensive Income BCDA’s gross revenues posted a significant growth by 202%, rising from Php7.3 billion in 2023 to Php22.1 billion in 2024. The gross revenues of Php22.1 billion is the second highest revenues recorded by BCDA since its inception in 1992. This substantial growth was fueled by multiple income streams, primarily led by gains of Php13.9 billion from the joint venture agreement in the disposition of 6.1 hectares in the Bonifacio Capital District, Php900 million in dividends and Php1.6 billion income from lease of properties. In addition, toll revenues from the SCTEX grew by 19%, increasing from Php1.9 billion in 2023 to Php2.3 billion in 2024, driven by higher traffic volume. Revenues from the operation and maintenance of Clark International Airport also posted an increase of Php24 million, reaching Php294 million in 2024 compared to Php270 million in the previous year. BCDA incurred operating expenses of Php3.6 billion in 2024, representing a 6.05% increase compared to Php3.4 billion in 2023. This rise was primarily driven by higher depreciation expenses from various capitalized infrastructure projects, as well as increased in the remittance of AFP share to the Bureau of Treasury. The total comprehensive income increased by 437%, from Php3.1 billion in 2023 to Php16.6 billion in 2024, representing a significant improvement in BCDA’s overall financial performance driven by higher revenues and strategic gains from key partnerships and operations.

(MASRS) in JUSMAG. Other contributors to the growth were the proceeds from existing leases, joint venture agreements, and installment sales; and other receipts totaling Php1.24 billion.

Php11.10 billion for taxes, duties, and fees; and Php790 million for the replication of non-military facilities. On the other hand, Php6.29 billion, representing the gross disposition proceeds received in 2024, is for distribution to the AFP and other beneficiary agencies upon approval of the Department of National Defense, BCDA, Department of Finance/Bureau of Treasury (BTr), and Department of Budget Management (DBM).
