Public Works and Highways Minister Bonoane told reporters that the Cavite-Tagaytay-Batangas Expressway (CTBEx) project proposed by Metro Pacific Tollways (25.24 billion pesos) is an infrastructure promotion program promoted by the Marcos administration. He said he would promote it as following the “build, better, more” principle. San Miguel’s proposed Cavite-Batangas Expressway (CBEx) construction project on a nearby route has already been approved by the province of Cavite, raising the possibility that the two highways will both start construction in the same area. . In 2018, the ministry granted the original proponent qualification to the CTBEx project. (13th, Manila Times)
