BCDA exec: New Clark City facilities not just for SEA Games

CLARK FREEPORT -- Top government executives assured the public that the facilities inside the New Clark City (NCC) were not just built for Southeast Asian (SEA) Games but also for government administration as part of the development blueprint.

"These facilities were not just built for the Southeast Asian Games. The (athletic) stadium that where we are now, the aquatics center, the athlete's village we did not build them just for the SEA Games," Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) president and chief executive officer Vivencio Dizon said.

Dizon made the statement during a site inspection at the NCC led by Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea and House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano.

Dizon also said the facilities will not be taken for granted after the Games.

"Believe me, the last thing that this government will ever allow is for all these facilities to end up as white elephants," he said.

Another component of NCC is the National Government Administrative Center (NGAC), which will serve as back-up offices for government agencies to ensure the continuity and efficiency of government operations and services in the country should any disaster occur. This and all the other facilities here make NCC a more resilient, sustainable and a smart city.

Top government officials led by Medialdea inspected the NGAC, which is a 200-hectare area in NCC intended to host the various government offices and their attached agencies.
