MANILA, Philippines — Infrastructure conglomerate Metro Pacific Investments Corp. (MPIC) is among the companies that are in the running to submit a bid for the Sangley Point International Airport (SPIA). MPIC chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan told The STAR the company remains keen on the development of the SPIA, having already purchased bid documents for the massive airport development project. Pangilinan earlier told The STAR that the SPIA project “looks interesting” for the infrastructure conglomerate, particularly because the airport connects to the company’s southern tollways. MPIC was one of the companies that purchased bid documents for the SPIA project during its first auction in 2019, but eventually did not submit an actual bid. A total of three companies have bought the bid documents for the second bidding of the massive airport project as of last month.
