Implementing the plan, together with the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA), the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), Department of Transportation (DOTr) and the BCDA.

The latest roadshow brings together local government leaders of Pampanga in a show of support for the Build Build Build plan of President Rodrigo Duterte. The Plan positions Clark as a thriving economic hub over the next six years—with key mass transport infrastructure and new linkages being built in the zone under the infra plan.

Among the specific projects that will increase connectivity from region to region is the new, world-class passenger terminal in Clark International Airport (CIA).
