Quiñones, in turn, will continue to serve as senior advisor, member of the advisory council and director in the board of Prime Energy. Prime Energy, a subsidiary of Enrique Razon’s Prime Infrastructure Capital, now operates the Malampaya deep water gas-to-power project in Palawan. This means they have with them depths of experience and knowledge in running Malampaya and other Shell operations in the Philippines and beyond. Clearly, Mañalac is shooting from the hip because if you look at the present team, it’s practically the same and even better. For the first time, the Malampaya consortium is now an all-Filipino group and they’re not walking into this blindly.
