The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) welcomed Ariel F. Nepomuceno as its incoming President and Chief Executive Officer (PCEO), while recognizing outgoing PCEO Joshua M. Bingcang for his 30 years of service to the agency.

Nepomuceno brings extensive public-sector leadership and private-sector experience as he takes the helm of BCDA and steers its continuing efforts to attract strategic investments, accelerate development projects, and maximize government assets for national economic growth.

He previously served as Commissioner of the Bureau of Customs (BOC), Administrator of the Office of Civil Defense (OCD), and Executive Director of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC).

He also held key positions at the Bureau of Customs, including Deputy Commissioner for the Enforcement Group, complemented by his experience in private-sector business and operations.

A magna cum laude graduate of the University of the Philippines, Nepomuceno also holds an Executive Master in Business Administration degree from the Asian Institute of Management.

His background in government operations, institutional management, and enterprise leadership is expected to strengthen BCDA’s capacity to build partnerships, attract investments, and transform government-owned properties into economic opportunities for Filipinos.

The leadership transition comes as BCDA seeks to build on its development gains and pursue new opportunities in support of the country’s economic growth.
