Metro Pacific spreads Christmas cheer in Batangas – The Manila Times

Metro Pacific lives up to its tagline. METRO Pacific Investment Foundation (MPIF), the corporate social responsibility arm of the Manny V. Pangilinan Group of Companies, spreads Christmas cheer and hope to households in the coastal barangay (villages) of Mabini, Batangas, which were badly hit by the Covid-19 pandemic and Typhoon “Quinta” (international name: “Molave”). Dubbed Tuloy Pa Rin Ang Pasko, the noche buena (Christmas Eve feast) gift-giving initiative is a partnership with the One Meralco Foundation and the Alagang Kapatid Foundation Inc. (AKFI) of TV5, which also reached out to affected boatmen and personnel of dive resorts, which have not yet resumed operations.

TIMELINE: The NAIA rehabilitation project

endIndex: Metro Manila (CNN Philippines) From its humble beginnings as a United States Air Force base, the Ninoy Aquino International Airport eventually evolved into the country s main international gateway. However, with tens of millions of travelers flying in and out on a yearly basis, congestion had plagued NAIA prior to the coronavirus pandemic as no alternatives were in place to help ease the airport s air traffic. The government has since greenlit multi-billion peso upgrades of select airports across the country, and even the construction of a new one in Bulacan. Yet the rehabilitation of NAIA itself has faced numerous setbacks over the years, with negotiations between the government and various conglomerates invariably reaching a dead end.

Kudos to Gatchalian, boos to Salim – The Manila Times

I SALUTE Valenzuela City Mayor Rex Gatchalian for doing his job and demonstrating what political will can do. With traffic at the North Luzon Expressway (NLEx) in the first week of December creating a hell-on-earth for more than half a million Filipinos, he cleverly did what he could do within his jurisdiction. He suspended the business license of NLEX Corp. to operate in Valenzuela City, where it has seven toll stations. With that kind of leadership ability, Gatchalian, just 41 years old, could or should be president someday. No permit, no authority to collect tolls: it became a freeway, clearing like a miracle the traffic there which at its worst had led to congestion even in Valenzuela City’s inner roads. This is what state power should be doing, responding swiftly to alleviate its citizens’ suffering.
