MANILA — Malacañang said Thursday local officials should keep foreign investors in mind when they suspend the business permit of the North Luzon Expressway's cashless toll system operator.
"But at the same time, kinakailangan din nilang isipin na babalansehin natin ito dahil iyong mga proyekto na kagaya ng expressways na dinibelop [developed] po ng mga pribadong sector ay baka mamaya eh ma-turn off ang mga future investors kung palaging mangyayari ito," he said in a press briefing. Mayors in Bulacan province have supported Valenzuela City's move and called for temporary provision of NLEX cash lanes to ease traffic buildup in their areas.
Valenzuela City Mayor Rex Gatchalian has said NLEX sensors should have at least 95 to 98 percent readability.
