The City of Bacoor Government Center, formerly Bacoor Government Center or Bacoor City Government Center, is a complex that serves as the seat of government of Bacoor City, Cavite, Philippines. It is where its city hall is located.
History
The city government of Bacoor was previously housed at the old Municipal Hall of Bacoor in Barangay Tabing Dagat which could no longer accommodate needs of the local government units.[2][3]
On March 2, 2012, the groundbreaking for a new government center was made. The government facility which has a 11,200 square metres (121,000 sq ft) of floor area, was built on a 2 hectares (4.9 acres) lot donated by Senator Manny Villar and Narcimiano Gawaran of the Addas Development Corporation. The three storey building was also built as a green building and completion of the building was scheduled to 2013, at the time of the groundbreaking.[2]
Upon reassuming the mayorship in 2022, Revilla renamed the complex as City of Bacoor Government Center (CBGC) to avert confusion as the acronym BGC for its seat of government is often mistaken to the more popular BGC, Bonifacio Global City in Taguig.
The complex also houses the buildings of the City Health Office and national government agencies. A mostly basketball gymnasium named after Strike Revilla is located within the compound which served as the homecourt of Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League team the Bacoor City Strikers, as well as the city's command center for fire, police, and traffic. Service and business centers of Meralco, PLDT and Bayad Center and kiosks from Smart and Sun and some food outlets (carinderias) are also located there.[5]
