The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) has formalized a partnership with DBP Data Center Inc. (DBP-DCI) to explore the development of a digital financial management and information infrastructure system that will support its digital transformation and smart city initiatives.

BCDA President and CEO Joshua M. Bingcang and DBP-DCI President and CEO Michielson L. Luakian signed a memorandum of understanding on February 28, 2026 to advance the establishment of the system aimed at strengthening financial management, enhancing data-driven decision-making, and reinforcing the digital backbone of BCDA’s developments.

Once implemented, the system is expected to deliver more seamless, secure, and efficient transactions for locators and investors, helping create smarter and more business-friendly communities in Camp John Hay and New Clark City.

The initiative supports the digitalization agenda of Ferdinand Marcos Jr., which aims to promote good governance through the efficient use of funds and technology to improve public services.

“This partnership strengthens our digital backbone. By modernizing our financial management systems, we are enhancing transparency, efficiency, and accountability across our developments,” Bingcang said.

The collaboration will initially cover John Hay Management Corporation, which manages Camp John Hay, with plans to expand to potential digital infrastructure initiatives in New Clark City and other BCDA-managed properties.

The project will develop a modern digital system designed to improve financial data management across BCDA properties, making processes faster and more efficient while strengthening data security, speeding up transactions, and providing accurate, real-time information to support better decision-making.

Under the agreement, BCDA will assist DBP-DCI in conducting the necessary studies and accessing relevant data, including previously conducted assessments, and coordinate with concerned agencies and stakeholders for a period of 12 months.
