CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — Vice Governor Joseller Guiao\u2019s plan to transform the Clark Development Corporation (CDC) into the Clark Development Authority (CDA) is gaining considerable support from the business sector.<\/p>\n
The CDA plan, which will give the new entity more legroom for development,\u00a0management\u00a0and\u00a0exploitation of the full potential of the Clark Freeport as an engine of national development, has gotten the support of businessman Rene Romero.<\/p>\n
Romero said the conversion to CDA will give the Clark renewed autonomy in charting its future in terms of priority developments in line with the local needs of industries both local and international, adding that the conversion is seen to benefit the employees of the Freeport and provide better\u00a0bureaucratic development in responding to the needs and policies.<\/p>\n
He added that the conversion to CDA will be a come on to investors and foreign companies. A charter for the CDA will also give the Freeport a chance to identify key priorities that are more responsive to the needs of investors and locators and the different government units near the Freeport facility.<\/p>\n
Clark Development Corporation (CDC) president Arthur Tugade agreed with Guiao’s idea, saying converting Clark from Freeport to Authority will address the tenure issue for future CDC presidents.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the last 20 years, CDC has had 12 presidents and that’s a high turnover,\u201d Tugade said during the meeting of the Metro Clark Advisory Council (MCAC) on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Tugade, who co-chaired the MCAC meeting with Mabalacat City Mayor Marino \u201cBoking\u201d Morales, is CDC’s 12th president and CEO, succeeding Benigno Ricafort.<\/p>\n
Guiao said that under an authority, future CDC presidents will have fixed terms and this will ensure continuity and stability in the implementation of programs and policies inside Clark.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are investors, both foreign and domestic, who are a bit hesitant to put in long-term investments in Clark because of uncertainty in the length of tenure of the CDC president,\u201d Guiao said.<\/p>\n
Romero also sees more political stability in the management of the Freeport and will remove much of the old “practices” that impede the Freeport’s development. He added that CDC needs an overhaul that can be provided by the conversion to CDA.<\/p>\n
