high-impact deve<br />
The BCDA and its subsidiaries—called the <strong>Bases</strong> Group—have ide<br />
projects to vigorously push the government’s national development t<br />
The <strong>Bases</strong> Group is composed of the BCDA, Clark<br />
Development Corp. (CDC), Clark International Airport Corp.<br />
(CIAC), John Hay Management Corp. (JHMC), Poro Point<br />
Management Corp. (PPMC), North Luzon Railways Corp.<br />
(Northrail), Bataan Technology Park, Inc. (BTPI), and the<br />
BCDA Management and Holdings, Inc. (BMHI).<br />
The <strong>Bases</strong> Group will harness and develop<br />
centerpiece infrastructures consisting of the Clark<br />
International Airport, San Fernando Seaport and Airport in<br />
La Union, the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX), and<br />
several railway systems, including the monorail loop system<br />
in South Metro Manila, and the high-speed rail system<br />
connecting Metro Manila and Clark Special Economic Zone<br />
in Angeles, Pampanga.<br />
The <strong>Bases</strong> Group will launch and implement a<br />
unified masterplan by 2012 covering all its properties and<br />
harnessing its vast land holdings driven by these identified<br />
infrastructure assets. The Group will maximize its airports,<br />
seaports, tollways and railways to bring the greatest impact<br />
to the national economy.<br />
BCDA president and CEO Arnel Paciano D.<br />
Casanova said that “sound regional development and<br />
urban planning, public infrastructure development, human<br />
resource development, corporate social responsibility,<br />
and environment protection, shall lay the groundwork<br />
and generate the synergy among the <strong>Bases</strong> Group to<br />
collectively accelerate the sustainable and inclusive national<br />
development grounded on integrity, transparency, and<br />
accountability.”<br />
Casanova said the high priority impact projects<br />
were divided into six areas: regional development and<br />
urban planning, infrastructure, business, tourism, trade and<br />
investments, marketing and promotions, social development<br />
and support to armed forces modernization.<br />
For regional development, the group envisions<br />
the Clark Freeport and Special Economic Zone (CFSEZ),<br />
Poro Point Freeport Zone (PPFZ), the John Hay Special<br />
Economic Zone (JHSEZ), and the Bataan Technology Park<br />
(BTP) to become “beacons of globally competitive and<br />
sustainable centers of economic activities that shall ripple<br />
and spread throughout their respective regions,” Casanova<br />
added.<br />
For infrastructure, the <strong>Bases</strong> Group seeks to<br />
complete the development of Clark International Airport<br />
terminals including the entire aviation complex. The airport<br />
should accommodate 5 to 7 million passengers by 2015.<br />
The CIAC shall take charge of the management, operations,<br />
marketing and promotion of the facility to attract investments,<br />
tourism and trade.<br />
Meanwhile, the San Fernando Airport located within<br />
the Poro Point Freeport Zone will serve as a feeder airport<br />
