During the Senate hearing on the proposed 2026 national budget, Senate Finance Committee Chair Senator Win Gatchalian commended the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) for its exemplary management and impressive financial growth.

Citing the agency’s performance, Gatchalian noted BCDA’s ₱3 billion net income in 2023, which surged to ₱16 billion in 2024. He also highlighted the agency’s ₱4.2 billion remittance to the national government in 2023, increasing to ₱5.8 billion in 2024, with dividends amounting to ₱500 million and ₱1.5 billion, respectively.

“Maganda ang patakbo ng BCDA. Self-sustaining naman kayo and that is the design of BCDA,” Gatchalian said, emphasizing that the agency’s performance exemplifies effective governance and fiscal responsibility.

The senator lauded BCDA’s continued efforts in generating billions in revenues and remittances that directly benefit the Filipino people.
