The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) said the Pax Silica Innovation Ecosystem in New Clark City is poised to drive economic growth across the entire Central Luzon region. According to the state-run agency, the ambitious hub aims to attract strategic investments, create quality jobs, strengthen local businesses, and expand opportunities for Filipinos through careful regional planning and collaboration.

BCDA Leadership Meets Regional Stakeholders to Advance New Clark City Project

Bingcang recently held discussions with Zambales Governor and Regional Development Council (RDC) III Chairperson Hermogenes Ebdane alongside Department of Economy, Planning, and Development (DepDev) Region III Director Nerrisa Esguerra. During this meeting, the leaders formally agreed to align efforts regarding the proposed Pax Silica Innovation Ecosystem in New Clark City. Officials focused heavily on establishing robust regional coordination designed to strengthen safeguards, enhance community preparation, and guide comprehensive development planning throughout Central Luzon.

Complementing Regional Economies and Strengthening Connectivity

The recent talks centered on ensuring that the upcoming development complements Central Luzon’s existing economic priorities. According to the BCDA, the initiative will bolster regional industries and improve connectivity while generating widespread opportunities that extend far beyond the borders of New Clark City. By fostering closer cooperation among national agencies, local government units, and regional stakeholders, the state-run agency stated that the proposed Pax Silica Innovation Ecosystem can contribute to a more connected and competitive Central Luzon.

Prioritizing Community Engagement and Social Preparation

Regional leaders and development planners are placing community welfare at the forefront of the project’s rollout. The BCDA and its partners across Region 3 stressed that proactive community engagement and thorough social preparation are essential components for success. These measures are designed to guarantee that the development remains responsible, inclusive, and directly responsive to the everyday needs of local residents. Through this deliberate approach, authorities aim to build a resilient foundation for the entire innovation ecosystem.
