DOTr fumes over Cavite LGU inaction on Sangley airport 14 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Emmie V. AbadillaThe Department of Transportation (DOTr) is balking at the inaction of the Cavite provincial government on the Sangley International Airport and plans to hand over the US$12-billion project to the private sector if nothing happens before 2018 ends. The Sangley International Airport is supposed to be a government to government proposal and there’s also a private group proposal, “but under the rules the priority is the government,” DOTr Secretary Arthur Tugade told reporters. The DOTr’s legal department cited the lack of technical and financial capability of the Cavite provincial government to implement an international airport development project. Sangley Airport Infrastructure Group, Inc., a consortium led by Solar Group’s All-Asia Resources and Reclamation Corp., also submitted an unsolicited proposal to build Philippine Sangley International Airport (PSIA) for $12 billion.
