‘TEENTH CONGRESS
OF THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES ‘
First Regular Session )

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

House Bitt No, 1136

Introduced by Representative Christian Tell A. Yap

Situated in the Municipality of Capas is the New Clark City (NCC), an area of approximately
94.5 square kilometers currently being developed by the Bases Conversion and Development
Authority (BCDA). It is seen as the country’s first smart, disaster-resilient and world-class sustainable
It will have a mixed use of residential. commercial, agro-industrial, and educational institutions
utilizing state-of-the-art information technologies.

In addition, being situated inside the Clark Special Economic Zone. the Municipality of Capas
is capacitated to house and cultivate diverse multinational industries and development projects
promising economic growth for both the national and local government. As late as 2017, the wross
domestic product (GDP) of Central Luzon has reached as high as nine point three percent (9.3%),
almost three percent (3%) higher than the country's GDP of six point seven percent (6.7%) for the
same year. This resulting growth has been attributed to the high-impact projects under the Build Build
Build infrastructure programs especially of those in the NCC.

Furthermore, it is in the NCC where the planned establishment of the National Government
Administration Center is expected to rise. As such, the NCC located in the Municipality of Capas has
been deemed as the next seat of government by the year 2030,

Considering the necessary authorities, funds, manpower and government services needed for
the massive expected economic and social yrowth of the region, it is fundamental to convert the
Municipality of Capas into a component city in anticipation of the limitless opportunities that can be
seized not only for the local citizens of Tarlac but to the whole Filipino nation.

‘This bill seeks to convert the Municipality of Capas into a component city of the Province of
Tarlac, The Municipality of Capas is a first-class urban municipality consisting of twenty (20)
barangays with a total land area of 376.39 square kilometers and a population of no less than 140,000
Tarlaquenios

In view of the foregoing reasons, the approval of the bill is eamestly sought
