President Marcos with Metro Pacific Tollways Corp. chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan and DPWH Secretary Manuel Bonoan at the inauguration of the Cavitex C5 Link Sucat Interchange, the groundbreaking of the Cavitex-Calax Link in Kawit, Cavite and the Cavitex C5 Link Segment 3B in Parañaque City.
Pangilinan is the chairman of the Metro Pacific Tollways Corp. , which leads the development of CAVITEX and CALAX. Successful PPPs also spur investor confidence, encouraging the business community to work together with the public sector. This collaborative approach brings forward a positive investment climate for the country - a key pillar in the economic agenda of the current administration.
These expanded road networks also help boost economic development in regions beyond Metro Manila, through providing access to new markets, creating new jobs, and encouraging investments. Case in point- the CALAX and CAVITEX developments can be credited as instrumental in spurring regional growth in Southern Luzon.
