MORE than 4,000 cycling enthusiasts took part in the return of the first leg of PRURide Philippines last May 21 at the Clark Global City inside the Clark Freeport.
Clark Development Corporation (CDC) President and CEO Atty. Agnes VST Devanadera emphasized the significance of events like PRURide Philippines in showcasing Clark’s readiness for MICECon 2024.
She cited how these events solidify Clark as a leading choice for future MICE activities, contributing to its continuous growth and appeal as a thriving business and tourism hub.
“We can see that the success of events like PRURide Philippines indicates our journey towards MICECon 2024,” Devanadera said. “These initiatives not only contribute to a healthier community but also highlight Clark as a premier destination for sports and events.”
