The Bases Conversion and Development Authority and its partner MTD Philippines Inc. are on track to finishing the world-class sports facilities in New Clark City before the 30th Southeast Asian Games open in November 2019.
“Phase 1 of the National Government Administrative Center in New Clark City has significantly progressed since it broke ground January this year,” said BCDA president and chief executive Vivencio Dizon.
“This proves that government is true to its promise of building quality infrastructure within set deadlines,” he said.
Phase 1 of the 200-hectare National Government Administrative Center involves the development of back-up offices of various agencies to ensure continuous business operations and services for the people in case of disasters or national calamities.
Phase 1A will house the world-class Athletics Stadium, Aquatics Center, Athletes’ Village, and government housing which will soon benefit thousands of athletes and government workers.
Phase 1B will involve development of more government buildings, residences and other support facilities that will commence in 2020.
