The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) and the Provincial Government of Tarlac (PGT) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to establish the new Tarlac Community College within New Clark City, paving the way for expanded access to affordable and quality education in the province.

Under the partnership, BCDA will identify and facilitate the use of a five-hectare site inside New Clark City and provide technical and planning assistance, while the provincial government will oversee the project’s planning, development, and implementation.

“This project supports BCDA’s vision of strengthening university–industry linkages and creating opportunities for learning, research, and innovation,” said BCDA President and CEO Engr. Joshua M. Bingcang.

The signing was attended by Tarlac Governor Christian Tell A. Yap, Vice Governor Estelita M. Aquino, and BCDA OIC-SVP for Conversion and Development Group Mark P. Torres.

The initiative further positions New Clark City as a premier hub for education and sustainable development in Central Luzon.
