P5-M pavilion to rise in New Clark City

THE Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) is building a P5-million multi-purpose pavilion within the Ayta Ethno Botanical Center (AEBC) in New Clark City, Tarlac.

“In New Clark City, our goal is to ensure that economic growth and development benefit all sectors of society, especially our local Aeta communities,” said BCDA President and Chief Executive Officer Joshua M. Bingcang in a statement over the weekend.

“We are committed to empowering our stakeholders and building this Ayta Ethno Botanical Center into a cornerstone for agricultural education, innovation, and environmental stewardship,” he added.

The multi-purpose pavilion is part of a memorandum of agreement (MoA) the BCDA signed with Hann Philippines, Inc. and Hann Foundation, Inc.

The project is expected to provide the local community with a venue for training, meetings, assemblies, exhibits, and other activities for the purpose of protecting and preserving Ayta culture and heritage.

“Aside from promotion of cultural heritage, agriculture, and innovation, this project also promotes employment and entrepreneurship,” said Hann Foundation Executive Director Ana Christi G. Galura.

The 10-hectare AEBC, a project between BCDA, Department of Agriculture Regional Field Office III, and Pampanga State Agricultural University, aims to scale up the agricultural capabilities of local farmers and fisherfolk.

The project will be rolled out in three phases, beginning with the multi-purpose pavilion, a ceremonial ground, a market, a coffee shop, a tamarind orchard, a coffee farm, and a pond.

Phase 2 will include a mango orchard, picnic areas, and natural trails, while Phase 3 will add rice terraces, a bamboo grove, a dormitory, and a viewing deck, according to BCDA.

BCDA plans for the AEBC to serve as a model for food forests to be established in other green areas of New Clark City, which is eyed to boost food security and provide livelihood opportunities. — Justine Irish D. Tabile
