The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), together with Hann Philippines Inc. and Hann Foundation Inc., held the concrete pouring ceremony for the P5-million multi-purpose pavilion at the upcoming Ayta Ethno Botanical Center (AEBC) in New Clark City.

The pavilion is envisioned as a community hub for the Aeta people, providing a space for training, meetings, assemblies, exhibits, and other activities aimed at preserving and promoting Aeta heritage, BCDA said.

Officials present at the ceremony included BCDA Consultant Charito Sebastian, Hann Foundation Admin Manager Mirasol M. Simon, HFI Executive Director Ana Christi G. Galura, Sitio Binyaya Chieftain Berlim Capiz, and BCDA Conversion Development Group OIC Mark P. Torres.

The project represents a continued partnership between BCDA and the Hann Foundation to support cultural preservation and community development in the region.
