Corporate Social Responsibility

Since May 1993 to December 2025, the AFP has been  the biggest beneficiary of the disposition proceeds receiving Php65.85 billion or equivalent to 42% of the total disposition proceeds generated since 1993. The AFP share consisted of Php54.73 billion for the AFP Modernization Program and Php11.12 billion for the replication of military facilities in Fort Bonifacio and Villamor Air Base. The replication projects of Php11 billion funded by the General Appropriations Act are not yet included in the AFP share.

Under Republic Act 7227 or the Bases Conversion Development Act of 1992, BCDA transforms former U.S. military bases and Metro Manila camps into centers of economic growth, generating revenues through land development and partnerships, while channeling proceeds to national defense, priority infrastructure, and socioeconomic programs of the government.

BCDA gives premium to inclusivity in its development projects. It is guided by its CSR Philosophy in reaching out to project-affected communities.

“BCDA builds great cities while helping strengthen the armed forces.” This mission resonates behind every initiative for the military, paving the way for high-quality facilities that are well-deserved and greatly useful.

BCDA remains committed to sustaining modernization by replicating facilities affected by its ongoing development projects.  These facilities are envisioned to greatly benefit the country’s defenders and help in their operations in line with national defense, and peace keeping efforts.

Among recently completed projects for the military is the  five-storey  Philippine Army Special and Technical Staff (STS) Building in Fort Bonifacio, which houses the Special Services Center (SSC) and Division Administrative Command Center (DACC).

Another milestone project is the new headquarters of the Army Support Command (ASCOM) which is now located at Camp Servillano Aquino, Tarlac.  This new facility was relocated from Fort Bonifacio and features residences, living quarters, including facilities for the Service Support Training School (SSTS), the 1st Transportation Battalion, the 1st Logistics Support Group, the 1st Maintenance Battalion, and the 1st Supply Battalion.

Nearing completion is the construction of the new 100-square meter headquarters of the Philippine Marine Corps at the Morong Discovery Park in  Bataan and the nine-storey residence for senior officers of the Philippine Navy at the Bonifacio Naval Station Lot.

Future projects include the relocation and replication of PAF’s operational facilities within a 146-hectare area at the OMNI Aviation Complex, south of the Clark International Airport.  On the other hand, PAF’s community and housing facilities  will soon be replicated within a 65-hectare area in New Clark City.

Other high-impact facilities built are the PAF General Hospital and Housing Facilities, the PA Officer’s Quarters and Hospital, and the AFP Housing Facility at the Joint Military Assistance Group (JUSMAG) area in Fort Bonifacio.

Communities around BCDA’s high-impact project were among beneficiaries of social inclusion initiatives.

At the frontline of 2025 community projects is the launch of the Ayta Ethno Botanical Center,  a 10-hectare land intended to serve our Indigenous Peoples, empowering them with food security. Its establishment in New Clark City is BCDA’s response in the preservation of the Ayta culture and the provision of a sustainable livelihood for them. The first phase of the project entailed upskilling our indigenous families to adopt innovative farming and agribusiness ventures, while actively preserving their unique cultural heritage. are being upskilled in sustainable agriculture through an ongoing training by Pampanga State Agricultural University.

Among BCDA’s partners for the project are the Department of Agriculture, Pampanga State University, and Hann Foundation, Inc. (HFI).  Members of the Aeta Community graduated from training on modern k City, 

The year 2025 also saw the launch of BCDA’s “Kalusugan and Kaunlaran Caravan” through a medical mission at Brgy. Sto Nino in Bamban, Tarlac, benefitting at least 500 community members.

Valued partners–the St. Luke’s Medical Foundation, Inc. and the Philippine Rugby Foundation, Inc.-- continued to serve communities of New Clark City through their respective social inclusion programs.

With the onslaught of Typhoons Crising, Dante and Emong, BCDA provided food supplies benefitting over 5,000 families across eight municipalities and three cities in five provinces: Pampanga, Zambales, Tarlac, Bataan and La Union. The donation is valued at Php2.38M

Through the years, BCDA  sought to contribute to the well-being and high morale of our troops and to boosting operational efficiency through its donations. These include the donation of essential equipment to the Philippine Fleet Sealift Amphibious Force BRP Gregorio Velasquez (AGR702), to the Philippine Fleet Sealift Amphibious Force BRP Gregorio Velasquez (AGR702) the Camp Aguinaldo Golf Course. 

BCDA has remained a strong supporter of the H.E.R.O. Foundation since 2019, committing to  help families of our fallen troops by  assisting their children in their educational needs.   Among other groups assisted in  2025 was the Philippine Navy -Civil Military Operations Group, particularly in aid of Filipino troops stationed at the Kalayaan Island Group, the Philippine Marine Corps Foundation, Inc. during their Health and Wellness Fair and the Philippine Marine Corps for the conduct of its first nationwide Karangalan Marathon that aims to support the welfare of our marines deployed to remote  border and island detachments, including those in the West Philippine Sea. 
 

In line with its “Thousand Trees for One Clark”  reforestation and greening campaign, BCDA employees conducted a corporate-wide tree-planting activity at New Clark City and surrounding areas under its stewardship.  Over 2,000 trees have been successfully planted by BCDA with partner organizations such as Tourism Promotion Board, the Commission on Audit, the Department Agriculture and partners such as Sindicatum. A Biodiversity Tour and Talk was also hosted at New Clark City for locators, partners and employees. 

This manifests BCDA’s adherence to its sustainability principles, and contributes to achieving Sustainable Development Goals declared by the United Nations.

Also, BCDA participated in several mangrove propagation activities in partnership with media groups namely: the Central Luzon Media Association (CLMA) and the Samahan ng Mamamahayag sa Subic Freeport (SMSF). The tree planting activity was held at the Binictican Mangrove Area at the Subic Bay Freeport in Zambales.

This allows BCDA to deliver on commitments made with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to replace trees that will be affected by its infrastructure projects.

One of the key activities under the BCDA’s Stakeholder Engagement Program dubbed “Saludo sa Sundalo” is the AFP Forum, a platform for BCDA to continuously collaborate, and meaningfully engage with the AFP.  The forum was pursued to inform our military stakeholders about the role of BCDA in the AFP modernization and its contribution to nation building under its mandate.  As BCDA embarks on building affordable housing for our countrymen, recent forums enable BCDA to share the opportunity with our troops.

To date, BCDA has organized 32 forums all over the Philippines. Benefitting from the informative forums on affordable housing were Philippine Navy Units–Col Ernesto Ravina Air Base (CERAB), Capas, Tarlac;
Clark Air Base (CAB), Angeles, Pampanga; and,
Basa Air Base (BAB), Floridablanca, Pampanga.  Another forum was for the Philippine Army Training Command.
