Expo Pilipino
Expo Pilipino (now Clark Expo) was the Philippine National Centennial Exposition and centerpiece of the commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the declaration of Philippine Independence on June 12, 1898. The 60-hectare heritage and entertainment park in Clark Freeport Zone, Angeles City is a celebration of the Filipino history, culture, and achievements in the past century and aspirations for the third millennium.
The site was a project of the National Centennial Commission (NCC) and the Philippine Centennial Exposition Corporation.
It has a 35,000-seat amphitheater. In addition, the site is also the new home for the 45-acre (180,000 m2) Nayong Pilipino complex, an open-air museum featuring miniature attractions of the Philippines and its culture.
In early 2010, the site was relaunched as Clark Education City by the Australian International Training and Management group (AITMG). Initial construction of the campus cost AU$6-million, with a capacity of 15,000 students. The institution delivers a range of vocational courses accredited by the Australian Government, English language, and customised training. The facility now operates as Site Skills Training - [1].
The construction of Expo Filipino entailed a total budget of ₱3.5 billion (US$ 63.64 million). Then-President Fidel V. Ramos directed three state-run financial institutions—Social Security System (SSS), Government Service Insurance System (GSIS), and Land Bank of the Philippines—to lend a total of ₱1.4-billion (US$25.45-million) to the joint venture.
