State-run Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) said it approved investments worth P63.97 billion in the first 11 months of 2025, up 99.5 percent from P32.06 billion in the same period last year.
BCDA president and chief executive Joshua Bingcang said in a statement the strong performance reflects rising investor interest in the BCDA’s master-planned estates and the broader impact of the government’s economic agenda, said
“This achievement underscores BCDA’s vision to catalyze strategic infrastructure development that drives sustainable, investment-led growth while creating more and better job opportunities for Filipinos,” Bingcang said.
The government-controlled company also reported stronger job creation from its linked projects. BCDA-linked initiatives generated some 8,476 new jobs from January to November 2025, a 29.1-percent increase from 6,565 jobs recorded in the same period in 2024.
The agency attributed the growth to sustained public-private partnerships and aggressive infrastructure development aimed at expanding opportunities in Central and Northern Luzon.
Most of the growth is concentrated in New Clark City in Tarlac and Camp John Hay in Baguio, where investor activity has accelerated in recent months.
BCDA said it expects both investment and employment figures to further improve as more locator firms firm up expansion plans before the end of the year.
“We remain optimistic and continue to encourage investors to work with BCDA as we advance our mission to support national economic growth and inclusive development,” Bingcang said.
