BGC

Bonifacio Global City (BGC), also known as Global City or The Fort, is a 240-hectare mixed-use estate and central business district located in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig, Philippines. It is now the home of the Philippine Stock Exchange, the national stock exchange as well as several multinational corporations in the country. Some of the tallest buildings in the country are located in BGC such as the Metrobank Center, the country's tallest building. It experienced commercial growth following the sale of a 440 ha parcel of a military base by the Philippine government through the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) during the administration of Fidel Ramos. BGC used to be a part of the main camp of the Philippine Army known as Fort Bonifacio. Translated in Filipino as Pangdaigdigang Lungsod ng Bonifacio (PLB), it is common locally to refer the district by its English name and abbreviation due to being branded as "the international business district of the Philippines".
