Bases Conversion and Development Authority President and CEO Joshua Bingcang is moving to the Philippine Economic Zone Authority, where he is expected to take over as director general, according to Finance Secretary Frederick Go.

The development was reported on Thursday, November 12, as part of a possible reshuffling of senior officials in the Marcos administration.

Bingcang has headed the BCDA since June 2023, following nearly three decades of service in the agency. He has been involved in major development projects, including New Clark City and the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway.

He has also been among the key proponents of the proposed Pax Silica industrial hub in New Clark City, an initiative aimed at developing supply chains for critical technologies and minerals.

His expected transfer comes as the administration considers other changes in key government agencies. Customs Commissioner Ariel Nepomuceno has confirmed that he is set to replace Bingcang at the BCDA, although he said they were still waiting for the necessary papers.

Other reported movements include the possible transfer of Bureau of Internal Revenue Commissioner Charlito Mendoza to the Bureau of Customs, while Department of Finance Undersecretary Rolando Ligon Jr. is being considered to head the BIR.

PEZA is responsible for promoting investments and overseeing registered economic zones across the country, making its leadership crucial to the government’s efforts to attract local and foreign businesses.

As of Thursday, Malacañang had yet to issue a formal announcement detailing the full lineup of changes.
