Clark Freeport and Special Economic Zone

Clark, officially named as the Clark Freeport and Special Economic Zone, is an area in Central Luzon, Philippines that is designated as a freeport and a special economic zone by the Philippine Economic Zone Authority. It is covers the cities and municipalities of Angeles, Mabalacat, and Porac in Pampanga province, as well as Capas and Bamban in Tarlac province, and is anchored by the Clark International Airport, New Clark City, and Clark Global City developments. The area is managed by state-owned Clark Development Corporation.

Originally anchored on the Clark Air Base which was controlled by the United States Air Force until 1991, most of the air base has now been converted into a civilian airport, with some portions now under the Philippine Air Force. Clark serves as economic, sporting, and aviation center of Central Luzon. It is one of the regions that hosted the 2019 SEA Games.
