After two years of restricted access due to the COVID-19 pandemic, New Clark City (NCC) in Tapas, Tarlac reopened on Saturday, May 28.
“With easing lockdowns, Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) felt that it is the right time to reopen New Clark City to the public, and enable visitors to experience what this future metropolis has to offer,” BCDA Officer-in-Charge President Aristotle Batuhan said.
“We hope this move will uplift the spirit of Filipinos after two years of fighting the virus and inspire optimism that recovery is on the horizon,” Batuhan added.
With the reopening, visitors can now tour NCC every weekend, with free access to open spaces and viewing areas within its world-class sports facilities.
The reopening came after two years of restriction due to the pandemic, which prompted the BCDA to convert the National Government Administrative and Athlete’s Village in NCC into instant medical and isolation facilities. – ag
