CLARK FREEPORT — The Clark Development Corp. has formalized an agreement with the City Government of Mabalacat for the relocation of the city’s extension office to a new site inside the freeport. The lease signing was held on April 21, 2026, at the Clark Visitors Center.
CDC president and CEO Agnes VST Devanadera and Mayor Gerald Guttrie Aquino signed the lease on April 21 at the Clark Visitors Center. The office will move to Buildings 2524 and 2527 along S. Osmeña Street, with a combined area of 1,870 square meters.
Devanadera said the relocation reflects the continuing partnership between CDC and Mabalacat in advancing shared programs.
“When CDC grows, Mabalacat grows with it. We are pleased that your cultural practices are also being brought here, as we aim to make Mabalacat’s traditions a foundation of our programs on arts, culture, and heritage,” she said.
Aquino emphasized the importance of sustained coordination in supporting economic activity and public service delivery within the freeport.
“We will continue to work closely and do what is necessary to make CDC [Clark] a more progressive place for investors so that you would know that the local government of Mabalacat is always here to support developments in Clark,” he said.
He added that the city’s share from the 2% allocation of the 5% tax on gross income earned (GIE) by Clark locators is translated into programs and services that benefit Mabalacat residents.
CDC’s chief said the relocation is part of broader efforts to enhance service efficiency and reinforce Clark’s position as a businessfriendly freeport. CDC-PR
