CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga — The Clark International Airport Corporation (CIAC) has generated more than P1.19 billion fresh investments in the first seven months of 2025, more than double the inflows during the same period last year.
CIAC President Jojit Alcazar said this development came following the state-owned firm’s rebranding last January from an airport operator to one of the country’s leading developers of an aviation-centric business capital.
He said these new investments will fast track Clark’s growth in tourism, commerce, and infrastructure, in line with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s call to attract investments that will drive economic expansion and generate jobs.
“Since the CIAC’s rebranding, Clark Aviation Capital has continued to be a draw for both foreign and Philippine-based companies needing prime location in proximity to the Clark International Airport,” Alcazar stressed.
He noted that the rebranding positioned CIAC as the aviation and land development arm of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), which marks a transition from airport operations to broader infrastructure development.
“These new investments translate to direct job generation, a robust ecosystem of aviation, logistics, commerce, and manufacturing, and increased investor confidence in CIAC,” the CIAC president said.
Major investments include P600 million from Stellavia Development Corporation, a Korean-owned firm, to expand its mixed-use recreational complex; and P400 million from Global Square Plaza Phils., Corp. for a multi-use facility with a warehouse, drone training school, and recreation center, which is expected to generate over 100 jobs.
Meanwhile, France-based All Fashion Gloves, Inc. will reinvest P18.27 million in new manufacturing facilities, while UET International Corp. and UET Box Manufacturing Corp. committed a combined P169.7 million for product expansion.
Additionally, Skytrack Aviation Services will invest P5 million to establish its office in Clark.
These investments are projected to generate more than 700 direct workers, with additional opportunities in support industries.
“These firms see the strategic value of investing at the Clark Aviation Capital which continues to be recognized as a hub for innovation, opportunity, and sustainable development,” Alcazar said. (MJSC, PIA Region 3-Pampanga)
