Together, lets act swiftly and register our school while the current political administration is supporting the area by funding extraordinary projects.
There are four potential sites that could host the University.
Clark Freeport Zone Parade Fields and Surround Areas
As shown above, the Clark Parade Field has nearly everything you need for a large scale sports and athletic program. It includes 4 large baseball fields with tall backstops and full size soccer/football fields encased with a very large 2.2k cushioned jogging track . It has its own restroom on the grounds, nearby Medical Clinic, Public Safety Department, Fire Department and 24 hours video surveillance. The fields and grounds are operated and maintained by the Clark Development Corporation, the local government unit (LGU) assigned to oversee the the Clark Freeport Zone. The CDC Staff is set-up similar to a US Civil Service Employee Program at a typical military base. All employees are well educated and among the top personnel in the country. The grounds are also surrounded by buildings, some that may be used for classrooms and administration.
New Clark City Sports Complex
The Base Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) latest project will he New Clark City (NCC). Currently, a road and bridge is being built to connect Clark Freeport Zone and New Clark City. New Clark City will be the home of a new sports complex and sports city. They are trying to rush this project so the stadium can be used for the 2019 SEA games to be held in the Philippines. Expansion to parts of the NCC would give a huge advantage to both the BCDA and the University.
Clark International Sports Complex
The Villages at Global Clark is an exciting new master-planned community, commercial spaces, and sports complex comprised of +/- 60 hectares within the Clark Freeport Zone. Also known as the Clark International Sports Complex, the fields can boast as one of the best in all of Asia. Many tournaments are held throughout the year along with winter-ball for Korean baseball teams. They have housing and more investors coming. Their strongest assets are their owner Nora Bitong, son Rj and USA born and bred manager Matt Attaway.
Global Gateway Logistics City
Global Gateway Development Corporation is the developer of Global Gateway Logistics City, a state-of-the-art, 177 hectare master-planned, mixed-use Business and Logistics Center of Excellence with 5.8 million sqm of planned floor space. GGLC is located strategically within the Clark Freeport Zone and is located between the NLEX and SCTEX, borders Clark International Airport, and is less than an hour away from the international, deep-water port of Subic. Global Gateway Logistics City offers the perfect blend of prime real estate and facilities for all your business needs. It is divided into four zones, the LOGISTICS PARK, home to your warehousing, distribution and light manufacturing operations; the BUSINESS PARK, for all your office requirements; the AERO PARK, home to research and development, modeling and simulation, IT and centers of higher learning; and the TOWN CENTER for all your retail and shopping needs. Communication with top leadership in this company is fantastic, both are born, raised, and educated in the USA. Additional funding will be needed to build.
Once completed, the GGLC project will generate employment opportunities to over 300,000 workers within $600 million in annual payroll for entry-level employees alone. KGLI plans to transform GGLC into a state-of-the-art commercial and logistics aerotropolis built to the highest environment standards. KGLI through local unit Global Gateway Development Corporation (GGDC), has a lease on the property for a period of 50 years, with an option to renew for 25 years. Williams said the first phase of the project will be bankrolled by Hongkong-based Asian private equity firms ADM Capital and BPE Asia Real Estate, which recently committed an initial $150 million investment to finance the construction of Grade A office buildings and surroundings infrastructure in GGLC. ADM Capital is a fund manager with headquarters in Hong Kong while BPE Asia Real Estate is an affiliate of Baring Private Equity Asia, which also has an office in Hong Kong. The $150 million project represents one of the largest investments by foreign investors in the Philippines’ real estate sector and is expected to transform Clark Freeport into a new office and logistics hub.

SAFETY / SECURITY / HEALTH
Since my early days as a Freshman at WVU in 1973, one thing that we learned from our first day of school was the importance of safety in all that we do. I strongly feel that after 24 years of leadership within the CDC, they have mastered living in a safe environment. CDC has developed and surrounded themselves with personnel and facilities to have a safe, healthy, and secure community. In fact, after 13 years of doing business on Clark, I feel that we are more safe and secure here than in most U.S. Cities. Additional safety briefing can be done at a later time or in person.
The CDC employees seem to take pride in the work they do, here's a link to some updates http://www.clark.com.ph/?Category=CM

Immigration for Foreign Nationals - Coordination Needed With BOI
When is a student visa necessary? A Student Visa is necessary if a foreign national, 18 years old and above, intends to take up a course higher than high school in the Philippines. Furthermore, he/she has to have sufficient means of support for education in the Philippines.
Can you enroll in any school in the Philippines and then apply for a Student Visa? Only selected schools accredited by the Bureau of Immigration (BI) may accept and enroll foreign students. Only then may the foreign student apply for a Student Visa.
What is the difference between Student Visa and a Special Study Permit? When is one required? A Student Visa is issued to foreign students 18 years old and above and is taking a course higher than high school. A Special Study Permit (SSP) is issued to a foreign national below the age of 18 and/or taking non-degree courses in the Philippines. A SSP is a PERMIT, not a visa. It is issued under the Temporary Visitor’s Visa of a foreign national.

According to my personal lawyer, he stated fraternities can show-up and do business nearly anywhere near a school but the school has to eventually approve their local existence. Once approved, they accept some sort of liability of things go wrong.

Can Tuition Fees be altered for local students during the infant stages of the school?
Are classroom books available online?
There are many food establishments in the area, is a cafeteria necessary for the students or can that issue be handled by each individual residence?
Can we open a local talent competition for the ideal athletes and offer local scholarships.
Budget/Funding: I see this issue as one of the easiest of all as long as all parties are willing to work together (no one gets greedy). For example, we feel, there should be no cost to the University unless the University want to place U.S. based employees on site. Based on our 13 years in the community, we feel we can do x-deals and joint venture for the land, facilities, housing, etc. Our local expenses will include, but not limited to: Labor costs, benefits, insurance, initial government set-up costs and recurring renewals, legal fees, sports equipment, FF&E, transportation, utilities, marketing, etc. Our income can be generated from a portion of the negotiated tuition fee and other on campus income ventures.
Oversight: We feel the CEO should communicate with the Dean on a weekly basis for updates, future projects, or problems that arise. This can be accomplished with a formatted weekly status report.
Getting Started: Prior to any written or financial commitment locally, we would need a letter from the University to being the procedures to open the school, which would include registration with the Security Exchange Commission, negotiations with the land or site owners, attend job fairs and begin to recruit for future teachers, hold scholarship tryouts, register with the Bureau of Immigrations so we can begin to process student visa; register with the Department of Labor and continue the process of certification with the Commission of Higher Education (CHED) in country. We would need this time to continue our feasibility study, most, which is already outlined in the brieft above. Our deadline would be June 30 2018 for submission so that we can begin fall of 2019.
In addition o the x-deals, to contact local business owners with growth potential to provide for housing for exchange of free location for the cafeteria, library, and bookstores.
