Subject of the Disclosure

Dismissal of the Alleged Violation of the Anti-Dummy Law Case

Background/Description of the Disclosure

We received today, 27 June 2022, from the Regional Trial Court of Lapu-Lapu City, Branch 68, the Omnibus Order dated 14 June 2022 (“Omnibus Order”), DISMISSING the criminal case against the following Directors and Officers of Megawide Construction Corporation (“Megawide”), in their capacity as Directors of GMR Megawide Cebu Airport Corporation (“GMCAC”), for the alleged violation of the Anti-Dummy Law (the “Case”):

a. Mr. Manuel Louie B. Ferrer – Executive Director for Infrastructure Development and Chief Corporate Affairs and Branding Officer of Megawide;
b. Mr. Jez G. Dela Cruz – VP-Corporate Finance and Planning of Megawide;
c. Mr. Edgar B. Saavedra – Chief Executive Officer and President of Megawide; and
d. Mr. Oliver Y. Tan - Director of Megawide

(the “Megawide Respondents”.)

The dismissal of the Case arose from the Motion to Quash Information filed by the Megawide Respondents on 24 March 2022.

The Omnibus Order explained, among others, that the dismissal of the Case was necessitated by the enactment of Republic Act No. 11659 (“RA No. 11659”), signed into law last 21 March 2022, which clearly excluded airport operations and maintenance from the definition of a public utility; thereby, removing the applicability of the nationality restriction to GMCAC in operating the Mactan Cebu International Airport. Consequently, RA No. 11659 has completely eradicated any alleged violation of the Anti-Dummy Law of which the Megawide Respondents were wrongfully accused of. Furthermore, the Omnibus Order stated that RA No. 11659 applies to the Megawide Respondents due to the retroactive effect of laws favorable to the accused.
