Ex-President GMA: Hindi nagbayad ng TOLL FEE!

[Mguy]

It would be logical to think na since from the North sya and ex-president, may special privilege na binigay ni MVP sa kanya. At least di naka wang wang.

Give her a break, and break her neck.

Are you guessing? Or do you know?





What would be simpler than to have an E-PASS in each car?

Yet she have to get the "special treatment" for her and her convoy?

I know! since even with hotel bookings, airfares etc, charges are billed against the office and will be paid afterward what more for this simple toll fees?


whether we like it or not she is still a former President, which still entails some "special treatment".

[gertrude]

in fairness to her I think meron silang pre-arrange payment scheme ng NLEX management.

kasi expected na ng NLEX management na dadaan sila dahil automatic binuksan yun close booth for them to pass thru.

you mean this one?

[/SIZE]

1. On 26 October 2000, the Board of Directors of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) approved (i) a direct loan of up to $45 million from ADB’s ordinary capital resources, and (ii) a complementary loan of $25 million to Manila North Tollways Corporation (MNTC) to enable it to rehabilitate, expand, and operate 83.7 kilometers of the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) (the Project). The Project involved the construction and rehabilitation of 14 interchanges, 24 bridges, and 31 overpasses from Manila to the Clark Special Economic Zone, and the operation of an 8.8 kilometer (km) expressway that was completed in 1996 in the Subic Special Economic Zone.

2. The Project was undertaken on a rehabilitate-operate-transfer basis under a supplemental toll operation agreement (STOA) signed in April 1998 by MNTC, the Philippine National Construction Corporation (PNCC), and the Philippine Government through the Toll Regulatory Board (TRB), and approved by the President of the Philippines in June. The STOA granted MNTC a 30-year concession (but not to go beyond 2030) to operate and maintain the NLEX and to collect authorized tolls. At the end of the concession period in December 2030, MNTC will transfer the NLEX back to the Government without cost. The Project constituted phase 1

[SIZE=2]3. In the early 1990s, the Government saw the need to upgrade and modernize the 30-year old NLEX, which had fallen into disrepair, with flooded sections, potholes, and traffic congestion. Growth in traffic volume on the expressway was significant between 1992 and 1997 until capacity constraints caused it to falter. The state-owned PNCC, which controlled the NLEX, lacked the financial resources to adequately operate, maintain, and expand it to accommodate current and projected traffic volumes. Strong backing from the private sector was needed. The Government’s Medium-Term Philippine Development Plan (MTPDP) 1999–2004, which was designed to encourage private local firms with the financial and project development capabilities to support road transport and other high-priority infrastructure projects, paved the way for private sector participation in the country’s development projects. PNCC entered into a joint venture with Benpres Holdings Corporation, a leading development and operation group in the Philippines, for the financing, development, construction, and operation of the NLEX. The joint venture resulted in the creation on 4 February 1997 of MNTC to finance, rehabilitate, operate, and maintain the expressway until 2030. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]4. The NLEX is the transportation backbone of several regions, which are expected to benefit from growth in the Philippines. It runs northward from the National Capital Region (NCR) up through Central Luzon in Region 3. Central Luzon has been the beneficiary of the urban sprawl out of Metro Manila, which has limited room for further industrial development. Farther north in Region 3, the NLEX extends through rich agricultural areas in Bulacan and Pampanga provinces and toward the large cities of San Fernando and Angeles. The northern end of the NLEX extends to Sta. Ines, near the former US Air Force Base in Clark Field.[/SIZE]

^Did you take the pictures? Sa S&R pala nagg grocery si GMA. Buti may mga tao pa na nakakalapit. Naisip ko kasi when she goes out hinahawi lahat ng tao. She really looks like a bT%ch.

NLEx keeps Arroyo’s toll-free privilege on highway

San Fernando City, Philippines – Pampanga Representative Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, despite having left the presidency on June 30, still enjoys a toll-free privilege that ordinary motorists wish they too could have.

On Friday, or two days after officially losing the privileges attached to her former office, Arroyo was still given “Code 1” treatment on the North Luzon Expressway (NLEx).

This meant she was not made to pay the toll and was allowed use of the “free flow” lane.

That saved her group P348 (P87 for each of the four vehicles in her convoy) from Balintawak, Quezon City, to the San Fernando, Pampanga, exit of the NLEx.

Her convoy, consisting of a Lincoln Navigator and three Toyota Fortuners for her security escorts, entered the NLEx at Mindanao Avenue at 12:31 p.m. She was going to Sasmuan, Pampanga.

Arroyo’s group again used the NLEx on their way back to Metro Manila before 4 p.m. and were again exempted from paying toll.

“Our traffic control says there were no instructions about her new status. She is still given the ‘free flow’ whenever she passes,” said a Philippine Daily Inquirer source.

The source did not want to be identified for not having been authorized to speak on behalf of the Manila North Tollways Corp., the NLEx operator.

As a matter of policy, the exemption is accorded only to a convoy of the President and other pre-arranged parties, according to the source.

“NLEx traffic control just decided to follow the status quo in the absence of new guidelines,” the source said.

President Aquino, a former senator and representative of Tarlac, will be accorded the same treatment now that he is the Chief Executive.

“If President Noynoy passes, there is a procedure known to [the Presidential Security Group]. If they coordinate, we instruct toll and traffic [departments] citing ‘Code 1,’ meaning [a] VIP is passing through,” the source said.

Sayang naman yung P 348 in lost income ng MNTC.
