“MEGAWORLD Corp. is interested in bidding for the P74.6-billion public-private partnership (PPP) project to upgrade the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).
The listed property developer is open to looking at PPP projects related to its real estate business, Megaworld Senior Vice-President Kevin L. Tan told BusinessWorld in a recent interview.
‘We’re always looking for opportunities to expand and diversify our business, especially if it has some relation to our core businesses which are real estate, tourism, and FMCG (fast-moving consumer goods). So of course, the NAIA project is something that we are always interested to understand and be updated on, because it also has very strong real estate component,’ Mr. Tan said.…
On the possible NAIA bid, Megaworld is exploring opportunities for a possible partnership although no firm plans have been finalized yet.
‘We are always open to talking to partners, we have some discussions with some people but I’m not at liberty to say who right now but we’re always open to talking. Right now, there’s nothing final, we’re just talking, we’re just exploring, we’re still studying. The terms of reference for the project has not been announced yet, so we don’t know yet where to begin but we are studying,’ Mr. Tan said.…”
