Pax Silica Framework Anchors Multi-Billion-Dollar High-Tech Manufacturing Node at New Clark City
BCDA allocates 1,600-hectare site in Capas, Tarlac to anchor US-backed semiconductor and AI hardware supply chains across the Luzon Economic Corridor. (PHILIPPINES) The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), aligning with the US-led multilateral Pax Silica framework, is advancing plans for the Pax Silica Industrial Hub at New Clark City (NCC). Spanning 1,600 hectares (~4,000 acres) within the master-planned metropolis, the hub aims to transition the Philippine electronics sector from assembly, testing, and packaging (ATP) toward high-margin front-end wafer fabrication, critical mineral refining, and hardware production for global artificial intelligence infrastructure.
