The redevelopment of Sangley Airport into an international gateway faced a setback as negotiations between the provincial government of Cavite and project proponents Lucio Tan-led Macroasia Corp. and China Communications Construction Co. Ltd. (CCCC) collapsed.
In a Facebook post, Cavite Governor Jonvic Remulla said his office approved on Jan. 26 the recommendation of the Cavite Provincial Government Special Selection Committee for “the non-approval of the redevelopment of the former airbase as presented by the applying parties.”
This means that the notice of award given to Macroasia and CCCC for the P208.5-billion contract to develop the Sangley Airport into an international gateway last February 2020 is canceled.
