On May 28, 2026, Poro Point Management Corporation (PPMC) welcomed newly appointed Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) Chairman Atty. Jerry R. Marasigan during his official site visit to the Poro Point Freeport Zone. Philippine Navy officials from the Northern Luzon Naval Command and Naval Installation and Facilities – Northern Luzon joined in expressing their full support.
As part of the visit, Chairman Marasigan conducted an ocular inspection of the several key areas and strategic facilities within the Zone which include the San Fernando International Seaport, San Fernando Airport, and the former Voice of America (VOA) area. The tour provided an opportunity to assess ongoing developments and discuss future plans aimed at advancing the development and improvement of the Zone to maximize its potential for trade, tourism and investment.
Guided by its vision to be the leading economic driver in the North, PPMC, together with the BCDA, continues to pursue strategic initiatives that unlock opportunities for regional growth.

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.
