METRO Pacific Investments Corporation is keen to bid for contracts to build regional airports in the Philippines under the government’s “Build Build Build” program. We are preparing to bid for the regional airports,” Garcia added. However, Garcia pointed out that the company was still waiting for the government’s decision on whether to offer the regional airports as bundled or unbundled projects. Should the government choose to offer the regional airports again, I don’t know what the mix will be,” he said. The Department of Transportation earlier cancelled plans to tender contracts, under the public-private partnership (PPP) program, to upgrade, operate and maintain five regional airports: Davao, Bacolod, Iloilo, Laguindingan, and New Bohol.
