The state-run Clark Development Corp. (CDC) has signed a 50-year lease agreement with the Supreme Court for the construction of a regional court office in Pampanga.
The Office of the Regional Court Manager for Judicial Region III will be located at Buildings 1092 and 1097 of the One-Stop Shop Processing Center along Jose Abad Santos Avenue in Pampanga.
The new office is part of the Supreme Court's push to decentralize judicial services by expanding in key regions like Central Luzon, aiming to provide more accessible services to the public.
The partnership highlights Clark's role as a host to strategic national institutions, reinforcing its position as a hub for governance and service delivery in Central Luzon.
The lease agreement was signed on June 30 by CDC President and Chief Executive Officer Agnes VST Devanadera and Court Administrator Ma. Theresa Dolores Gomez-Estoesta.
The signing ceremony coincided with the Judiciary Month and the Philippine Judiciary's 125th anniversary.
The High Court's regional support offices align with its Strategic Plan for Judicial Innovations 2022-2027, designed to streamline administrative and fiscal matters and promote judicial reform.
CDC oversees and manages the Clark Freeport Zone and Clark Special Economic Zone, both of which are home to locators in government, tourism, aviation, manufacturing, and logistics.
