Clark’s Athletic City receives another WAF commendation

With a 20,000-seating capacity, a nine-lane 400-meter track and field, and another four-lane warm-up track, the stadium served as a venue for the 30th Southeast Asian Games in 2019.

It was previously nominated as one of the top 10 best stadiums in the world at the annual Stadium of the Year Awards

The Athletic Stadium in New Clark City has once again received a commendation from the World Architecture Festival (WAF), a recognition of Filipino architects and engineers skills that can stand out on the global stage.

In a statement, the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) said New Clark City’s internationally accredited sports stadium is vying for the Engineering Prize of the prestigious festival that is set to take place at the FIL Exhibition Center in Lisbon, Portugal from 1 to 3 December.

WAF has included the stadium in the shortlist of Sport Completed Buildings last July, with more than 270 entries nominated across all Completed Buildings subcategories by the WAF, the largest international architecture event in the world.

BCDA president and chief executive officer Vince Dizon lauded MTD Philippines, BCDA’s development partner in New Clark City, and architectural consultant Budji+Royal Architecture+Design for the world-class sports facility.

“We are pleased to add another feather on our cap with the World Architecture Festival’s Engineering Prize nomination on top of Sport Completed Buildings shortlisting. For the New Clark City Athletics Stadium to be recognized at such a high level not only for its architectural brilliance but also for its structural quality is a nod to the thousands of engineers, designers, and workers who completed this facility within a short period of time,” Dizon said.

For his part, MTD chairperson Isaac David welcomed the recognition from the award-giving body.

“We were really ecstatic about the news that the Athletics Stadium we built at the National Government Administrative Center in New Clark City was included in the shortlist of entries for the WAF Engineering Prize,” he said.

He added that his company is grateful for the opportunity and privileged to have partnered with the BCDA for the development of the NGAC, including sports and non-sports facilities.

“We’re also glad to have chosen Budji+Royal Architecture+Design as design consultants,” David added.

The New Clark City Athletics Stadium is the first major sports hub constructed by the government since the completion of the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex in 1934.

With a 20,000-seating capacity, a nine-lane 400-meter track and field, and another four-lane warm-up track, the stadium was the venue of the 30th Southeast Asian Games in 2019. It was previously nominated as one of the top 10 best stadiums in the world at the annual Stadium of the Year Awards.

Its design celebrates Filipino resilience, taking inspiration from the “caldera” or crater of Mount Pinatubo and the contours of the Sierra Madre ranges, and the festive details of the parol (Christmas lanterns) of Pampanga.

David said MTD Philippines focused on executing the architectural concept of the stadium, in compliance with international design codes and standards within a short period of 18 months.

The facility passed the scrutiny of the International Association of Athletics Federations, an organization of track and field organizations from 160 countries. For David, what sets it apart from other stadiums, however, is its “inherent beauty, functionality, and balance that duplicates the natural surroundings of the area.”

As a finalist, the Athletics Stadium’s vision and concept will be presented by Budji+Royal to a panel during the WAF live event in December. Aside from the Engineering Prize, it is also in the running for the World Building of the Year Award in the annual architectural event.

Royal Pineda, principal architect and CEO of Budji+Royal, described the Athletics Stadium as a product of modern bayanihan and expressed pride in sharing the honor with his fellow Filipino architects, as well as Filipino engineers.

“We’re currently working with MTD to prepare for the presentation as I need to get their stories on how the vision challenged them all. This is what’s great about having a common vision: we’re committed to working together to overcome all challenges just to make it happen. To recall the journey is both inspiring and rewarding,” Pineda said.

Have you tried hiking at the famous "Crying Mountain of Kibungan." A secret gem of Benguet that you may never forget!

Kibungan Cross Country (Tri-Province Mountainous Range Located in Benguet-Ilocos-La Union).

Kibungan Crying Mountain is not locally known as a Switzerland of the Philippines because as a filipino citizen, we owned an original beauty of a gigantic wall of rock and the scenic rice terraces that no one can discover from other country.

Philippines New Railway System: Approved for Construction

Today we will feature, four new railway projects that are already approved for construction in the Philippines. First in the list, is the Subic-Clark Cargo Railway Project. The Subic-Clark Railway Project is a component of the PNR Luzon System Development Framework providing initial freight service between the Subic Bay Freeport Zone and the Clark Freeport and Special Economic Zone, linking Subic Port with Clark International Airport and other major economic hubs in Central Luzon, especially New Clark City, and forming an integrated logistics hub for the development of Central Luzon as a new growth center to decongest Metro Manila. The railway, a flagship project under the "Build Build-Build" program, is a 71-kilometer single-track cargo railway connecting Subic Bay Freeport Zone and Clark International Airport and linking the country's North Railway Project. The Subic-Clark railway project, which will cost approximately 940 million U.S. dollars, will be bank-rolled by China, and it will be the highest-funded Government to Government cooperation project between China and the Philippines so far. Once completed, the railway will build a resilient linkage between ports, railways, and airports along the Subic-Clark corridor, which will improve the logistic efficiency, trim the transportation cost and support the potential demand for freight services and economic activities in the region. Another Railway projects that were approved by The National Economic and Development Authority Board (NEDA), is the MRT line 4. The MRT Line 4 will be a monorail line, which will build an elevated train line from N. Domingo in Quezon City to Thai-Thai, Rizal. When completed, it will be the first monorail line in the Philippines and the second rapid transit line serving the province of Rizal after the extension of LRT Line 2 to Antipolo. The ₱59.3-billion MRT-4 project is targeted for construction by 2021 and expects it to be operational by 2025. The project will be funded thr
