MANILA, Philippines — An infrastructure-oriented think tank has urged Congress to review the ongoing Sangley International Airport project as it questions the Cavite provincial government’s capacity to undertake such massive project, as well as the project’s potential conflict with current national government initiatives. “In the last few months, the DOTr has made much about the speed of construction of the rehabilitated Sangley airport. Ridon also questioned whether or not there is coordination with transport agencies to ensure the success of the Sangley International Airport project. The capacity of the Cavite provincial government to undertake the project has likewise caught Infrawatch’s attention. Ridon also said that the result of the bidding for the Sangley project raises red flags on the viability of the project, as only a single proponent had submitted a proposal.
