Clark, officially the Clark Freeport and Special Economic Zone (CFEZ), is a freeport and special economic zone in Central Luzon, Philippines, managed by the Clark Development Corporation (CDC), a government-owned and controlled corporation (GOCC). It covers portions of the cities and municipalities of Angeles, Mabalacat, and Porac in Pampanga, as well as Capas and Bamban in Tarlac.
The zone is divided into two areas: the Clark Freeport Zone (CFZ) and the Clark Special Economic Zone (CSEZ). New Clark City is part of the CSEZ, while Clark Global City falls within the CFZ. The CFZ includes the area formerly occupied by Clark Air Base, a former United States Air Force facility. Most of the air base has been converted into Clark International Airport, with some portions still under the control of the Philippine Air Force.
Clark serves as a hub for business, industry, aviation, education, and tourism in the Philippines, as well as a center for leisure, fitness, entertainment, and gaming in Central Luzon.
