Senator Francis Tolentino (Senate of the Philippines) Tolentino, in a statement on Wednesday, August 4, stressed that tollways “are the blood veins of the Philippine economy, encompassing our way of life and facilitating the mobility of people, goods, and services.” In his interpellation on Senate Bill No. 2094, which seeks to amend the Commonwealth Act No. 146 or the Public Service Act (PSA), Tolentino warned that allowing foreign companies to take control of the country’s expressways might have “national security implications in the long run.” “We are tiptoeing into some national security land mines, so to speak,” Tolentino raised during their plenary session on Tuesday, August 3.
