Infrastructure giant Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC) signed a partnership agreement with Car Awards Group, Inc. (CAGI) to support the upcoming 2016 Car of the Year–Philippines.
The MPTC is the largest toll road operator in the country operating 63-percent of the total 320-km of toll roads. It primarily operates North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX), Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX), and the Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX) toll road facilities. Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation is a subsidiary of Metro Pacific Investments Corporation.
Established in 2004, CAGI is the longest-running organization of motoring journalists in the country today. Unlike other award-giving bodies, CAGI prides itself of holding annual test fests, where all vehicles for consideration go through identical qualitative (consumer) and quantitative (performance) testing. Each year, winners for each category are announced and from that winners pool emerges the year’s COTY-P and TOTY-P.
Present during the contract signing are Atty. Robby Consunji, CAGI President; Raul Ignacio, MNTC COO; Rodrigo Franco, MPTC President and CEO; Roberto Bontia, TMC President; and Christopher Daniel Lizo, MPTC, SVP-Chief Finance Officer.
