“We have a plethora of transport projects. Your participation will run along other major development partners and other international companies, and we believe that this will be worth your time, worth your resources in this market,” Transportation Undersecretary Timothy John R. Batan said during the Philippines-Spain Multilateral Partnership forum in Makati City.
The Spanish companies active in the Philippines include Acciona, which is developing railway and expressway projects. Alsina is also involved in major civil works from the previous administration’s Build, Build, Build program, including Metro Rail Transit Line 7, North Luzon Expressway, and C5 Extension, among others.
Rodrigo I. delos Reyes, project director of DPWH’s Bridges Management Cluster, listed road and bridge projects that Spanish companies were welcome to join. The DoTr’s Mr. Batan said his department aims to expand its portfolio and “elevate the Philippine transportation system to global standards.”
