Hope and strength in 2022

MPIC’s uplifting new corporate anthem

Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (“MPIC”) launched its new corporate anthem in January 2022, entitled “Bayan Sulong Na” (Let’s Move Forward, Philippines). It is a rallying call for the country to face the coming years with hope and affirmation that there is strength in facing challenges together.

MPIC President and CEO Manuel V Pangilinan noted, “The resilience of Filipinos has always been unmatched. Our ability to get back on our feet after the unimaginable is something we are truly known for. However, our message moving forward goes beyond recovery and focuses on rebuilding and resurgence.”

“Prior to the challenges posed by the past couple of years, we at MPIC have always been committed to becoming reliable partners in development, for both the country and its people,” said MPIC VP for PR and Corporate Communications Melody del Rosario. “As we move forward this 2022, we introduced this anthem to solidify our dedication to the progress and change we envision for us all.” Featuring some of MPIC’s top executives, as well as a call to action from Pangilinan, the anthem signifies the coming together of all its employees towards a shared goal. <<

“We thank President Duterte for honoring us by being part of this historic event.”

“Not far from here 501 years ago, Cebuanos celebrated a victory in a pitched battle against a superior force. Today, we mark a different milestone, a modern victory not of arms but of engineering and construction that gave us such a beautiful structure that has now become an icon of Cebu,” Pangilinan added.

MPTC is the largest toll road concessionaire and operator in the Philippines. Work on the CCLEX started in July 2018 and it was MPTC’s first toll road project outside Luzon. The 8.9-kilometer CCLEX has a design speed of 60 to 80 kilometers per hour (kph) and a navigational clearance or height of 52 meters to allow large vessels to pass beneath the bridge.

CCLEX will use an all-electronic toll collection system from June 2022.

ACCESSIBLE TO MOTORCYCLISTS, CYCLISTS AND PEDESTRIANS Motorcycles with engine displacement below 400cc will be allowed to access the expressway by July this year. Sidewalks for pedestrians and bikers will also open in July to allow accessibility for all.

“Our company is happy to complete this project and contribute to the economic development of the southern Philippines,” said MPTC President and CEO Rodrigo Franco. <<
