The Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) has allotted an 800-square-meter site to the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), providing the agency with a base of operations within the Freeport.
The move positions BCDA staff to directly oversee Luzon Economic Corridor (LEC) projects, including the Subic-Clark-Manila-Batangas Railway and the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway expansion.
Officials say the arrangement strengthens inter-agency cooperation and anchors Subic’s role in advancing national infrastructure priorities.
SBMA Chairman and Administrator Eduardo Jose L. Aliño and BCDA President/CEO Joshua M. Bingcang formalized the agreement in a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signed June 3 at the SBMA Administration Building, witnessed by senior officials from both agencies.
Aliño described the allocation as more than a land grant, calling it a commitment to provide a “vibrant, supportive, and sustainable home” for BCDA staff.
Bingcang said the prepositioning of personnel reflects BCDA’s thrust to accelerate investments and development activities in the Subic-Clark-Bataan growth corridor.
The designated lot, located between Lots 95 and 97 Corsair Street in Kalayaan Heights District, was approved by the SBMA Board of Directors through Resolution No. 25-07-1360.
Officials noted the move is expected to boost investment inflows, increase mobility, and enhance coordination across Luzon’s strategic development axis. (SNL)
