Today, September 4, 2026, the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) turned over 100 sacks of rice to the Provincial Government of La Union (PGLU) to support the recovery of communities heavily impacted by the recent monsoon rains.
The turnover was led by Vice President for Land and Assets Development Richard Brian M. Cepe of Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) and Hon. Servillano C. Flores, Jr., President and CEO of Poro Point Management Corporation (PPMC).
La Union Governor Hon. Mario Eduardo C. Ortega was present to receive the emergency aid, reinforcing the province’s commitment to collaborative disaster response.
This Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative underscores the shared commitment of BCDA and PPMC to work closely with local governments in providing relief assistance to families in need.

Poro Point Management Corporation

The Poro Point Freeport Zone used to house the former Wallace Air Station. The enactment of Republic Act 7227 (Bases Conversion and Development Act) on March 19, 1992 and Proclamation No. 216 on July 27, 1993 effectively transferred the stewardship of the Freeport to the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) to facilitate its conversion into a productive economic growth center.
