Baguio City to Build P1.186-Billion Integrated Terminal
What happened
Benjamin Magalong announced plans for the construction of the P1.186-billion Baguio City Integrated Terminal (BCIT) along Marcos Highway, which is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2027. The project underwent design adjustments after topographical and geotechnical studies determined the original plans were unsuitable for the site in Barangay Dontogan. The five-hectare terminal is designed to accommodate up to 400 buses and serve approximately 25,000 passengers daily.

Why it matters
The terminal is intended to establish a transport hub for provincial buses, aiming to reduce the volume of buses traveling through major thoroughfares in Baguio's central business district. The project will be executed under a 40-year public-private partnership lease agreement, which is expected to generate revenue for the city.
The administration in Baguio is currently prioritizing good governance and sustainable growth.
