Belle Corp said it is in talks with potential operators for a planned integrated resort in Clark, Pampanga, after securing a provisional casino license for the project.

In a clarification filed with the Philippine Stock Exchange on Monday, the company said arrangements with a partner will be disclosed once finalized, adding that it is targeting an official launch within two to three years from the engagement of an operator. The development is planned within the Clark Special Economic Zone, approximately 80 kilometers north of Manila.

Belle Corp said it plans to invest at least $300 million in the integrated resort and expects to derive lease income and a share of gross gaming revenues once operations begin.

A report by Manila Standard cited Belle Corp president and chief executive Armin Antonio Raquel-Santos as saying the company is in talks with ‘three to four’ foreign casino operators, including Melco Resorts & Entertainment Corp..

The proposed project will occupy a five-hectare site in Clark and is expected to include both casino and hotel components. The development is intended to follow a co-licensing model, with the selected operator managing gaming operations while leasing the land.

Hann Philippines pushes ahead with Clark integrated resort expansion

Hann Philippines aims to complete the second phase by 2030, which will include residential, retail, and golf entertainment developments, an international school, phases two and three of the public park, and a river golf course designed by professional golfer Nick Faldo.

The company is also planning its second integrated resort within Hann Reserve.

The property is expected to strengthen the Philippines’ position as a competitive destination for tourism and golf, Hann Reserve General Manager Timothy John Neil said.

Hann Reserve is a 15-minute drive from the 11-hectare Hann Casino Resort, the first integrated resort in the Clark Freeport Zone, Pampanga.

Van Don Casino Resort was announced in December 2025 with a price tag of US$2 billion. Here are some renderings I found online. They seem outdated, and the design has likely been revised, but this gives an idea of the concept associated with the project.

Sun Group stated: “The project is planned under a modern ‘resort city’ model, aiming to create a regional-scale entertainment and tourism destination meeting international standards, integrating a wide range of tourism, accommodation, commercial, and entertainment functions, and operating on a 24/7 basis.”
