Established in 1995, Berthaphil is the first investor in the Clark Freeport Zone. Its first task was to clean up lahar wrought by the Mount Pinatubo explosion and meet the needs of the Clark Freeport.
It went on to develop industrial, business process outsourcing/call centers, commercial, residential, logistics and aviation properties. It has built, marketed, leased, and managed 11 Clark Freeport properties across 45 hectares.
On Jan. 22, BCDA President Joshua Bingcang and Berthaphil President and CEO Peter Herman signed an agreement at the InvestPhilippines Business Pavilion at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
The agreement calls for a joint study to identify opportunities for aviation-related industries and businesses in two BCDA-managed economic zones by assessing land use alignment with Clark’s master development plan, infrastructure and support requirements of potential investors, investment demand, and modes of cooperation.
The deal is good for one year.
“This collaboration supports Clark’s growth as a competitive aviation and logistics hub,“ Bingcang said, adding that it aligns with the Philippine Development Plan 2023-2028 priorities on infrastructure modernization, industrial diversification, and regional development.
It also reinforces the government’s vision of positioning the 2,367-hectare Clark Aviation Capital as the country’s premier gateway and logistics hub, while advancing BCDA’s mandate to develop the 9,450-hectare New Clark City into a modern, sustainable, and globally competitive investment destination.
In 2025, BCDA posted P14.1 billion in cash revenues, surpassing its P10 billion target by over 40 percent, and exceeding the P11.66 billion recorded in 2024 by 20.9 percent.
