Posibleng hindi matuloy ang panukalang P552.018 bilyong Sangley Point International Airport project ng Cavite provincial government, na nais ipalit sa Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) bilang pangunahing paliparan, nang irekomendang ibasura ng Department of Transportation (DOTr).
Sa memorandum na inisyu nina DOTr Undersecretary for Legal and Procurement Reinier Paul Yebra, Assistant Secretary for Legal Affairs Mark Steven Pastor at Assistant Secretary for Procurement and DOTr Legal Service chief Giovanni Lopez, inirekomenda kay DOTr Undersecretary Ruben Reinoso na huwag lagdaan ang memorandum of agreement (MOA) na gawing pangunahing international airport ang Danilo Atienza Air Base sa Sangley Point, Cavite.
“This Office is of the view that PGC (Provincial Government of Cavite) lacks the technical capability to implement the proposed Sangley International Airport Project. As a matter of fact, the MOA itself is bereft of any provision or proof showing the technical capability of PGC,” sabi nina Yebra, Pastor at Lopez sa kanilang memorandum.
“Likewise, this Office noted the provision in the MOA relative to the proposed project’s financing scheme. It appears that the MOA has not yet identified with particularity the source of fund for the project,” dagdag ng mga abogado.
“This Office is of the opinion that the above description of the proposed project as well as the financing scheme is too general. Specific scope of the project and source of fund are required for this Department to evaluate the MOA,” anila pa.
