Esguerra, CIC President and General Manager Raul L. Ignacio, CIC Vice President for Finance Elnora D. Rumawak and Metro Pacific Tollways Corp. (MPTC) President and CEO Rogelio D. Singson.

The contract requires EEI to remeasure and construct a 1.2-kilometer, 2-lane highway from the end of Segment 4 on Tirona Highway to CALAX.

This latest win is a vote of trust and confidence in EEI’s expertise and experience from our partners MPTC and CIC. It is doubly meaningful not just because it’s a welcome business development but also because it enables us to share and synergize with our partners when it comes to this shared vision of doing projects that help support economic growth, improve connectivity and uplift the quality of lives of Filipinos. It is an honor to serve the private sector and the public,” EEI Corp. President and CEO Henry D. Antonio stated.
