August 28, 2019 Dear Miguel Camus, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Aug 23, 2019 10:10:12 AM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch. Your Request You asked for Role of Trends & Technologies Inc.'s role in New Clark City. Response to Request The ICT component for the Philippines’ hosting of the 30th South East Asian (SEA) Games in New Clark City is part of MTD Clark, Inc.’s deliverables for Phase 1A of the National Government Administrative Center (NGAC), which includes the construction of the modern sports facilities that are Games-ready. Under a turnkey arrangement, all facilities must be tested, certified and accepted by BCDA and the international governing bodies for sports (i.e. the International Association of Athletics Federations or IAAF, and the Federation Internationale De Natation or FINA) as Games-ready before payment is made to MTD Clark, Inc. As mentioned in our earlier response, BCDA conducted a series of market sounding activities for the long-term ICT infrastructure in New Clark City held from January to June 2019. The long-term ICT infrastructure project will be tendered after the unsolicited proposal submitted by E-PLDT Inc. has been reviewed by BCDA with the assistance of the Asian Development Bank and the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT).
