The MPTC is challenging the legality of the case filed by PEA Tollway Corp. (PEATC) against Cavitex Infrastructure Corp. (CIC), operator of the Manila-Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX).
CIC, a subsidiary of the Pangilinan-led MPTC, holds the concession to operate and maintain CAVITEX through a joint venture with the Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA) and its unit, PEATC.
In a statement, MPTC said that PEATC should instead name its parent agency PRA as one of the respondents given its role in handling CAVITEX. MPTC said PEATC officer-in-charge Dioscoro Esteban Jr. is circumventing proper authorities in filing the petition.
