The appointment of Engr. Bingcang to the BCDA position was signed by President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. on June 2, 2023.Bingcang replaced Aileen Anunciacion R. Zosa, who served as BCDA PCEO since August last year.

He also attended an Urban Policy and Governance program at the Nanyang Technological University, and trained at the Harvard Kennedy School in Public-Private Partnerships in Infrastructure.
The BCDA also expressed its gratitude to Zosa who served for 27 years in BCDA, bringing it to greater heights by ensuring continuing cash inflows from existing joint ventures, leases, and other income-generating activities of BCDA. One of which was through the development of Bonifacio Global City in Taguig City and Newport City in Pasay City.

It will then be allocated and distributed by the Department of Budget and Management to the Armed Forces of the Philippines and other beneficiary agencies.
