It has a 35,000-seat amphitheater. In addition, the site is also the new home for the complex, an open-air museum featuring miniature attractions of the Philippines and its culture. In early 2010, the site was relaunched as Clark Education City by the Australian International Training and Management group. Initial construction of the campus cost AU$6-million, with a capacity of 15,000 students. The institution delivers a range of vocational courses accredited by the Australian Government, English language teaching, and customised training for mining, oil and gas, and affiliated industries.

Budget
The construction of Expo Filipino entailed a total budget of ₱3.5 billion. Then-President Fidel V. Ramos directed three state-run financial institutions—Social Security System, Government Service Insurance System, and Land Bank of the Philippines—to lend a total of ₱1.4-billion to the joint venture.
Issues
The project was criticised for the excessive amounts of money that went to its construction. Particular targets of criticism were: a "Freedom Ring" ; a parking lot ; an entry zone ; display villages ; and an artificial river that had bridges spanning it. Expo Filipino closed down in 1999 under President Joseph Estrada, after sustaining heavy losses.
Reopening
After having been mothballed for more than five years, the site reopened as Clark Expo on December 8, 2005, to host trade exhibits and cultural presentations headed by the Clark Development Corporation. The park's reopening featured concerts, world-class furniture exhibits, carnival rides, and major concerts. CDC president Antonio Ng said the opening of the Expo Pilipino was realised due to the directive and full support of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in boosting tourism and investment activities inside the Clark Special Economic Zone, with her Administrative Order No. 63 issued on February 17, 2003, directing the transfer of certain assets and liabilities of the National Development Company in First Clark Centennial Corporation to CDC. In connection with the reopening of the park was the Clark National Duathlon Championships on December 19, and the holding of the annual district assembly of some 10,000 members of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Pampanga and Tarlac on December 23–25. CDC spent some ₱2.5-million for the rehabilitation of the on-site replica of Barasoain Church, an amphitheatre, trade halls, and convention centres.
