We are very concerned with the Office of the President's current inclination to pursue a rebid of the Calax Project because of the severe negative impact this decision would have on investor confidence in the PPP Program and on the integrity of the entire bidding process.

We will not participate if government decides to rebid the project because there is no legal basis for this course of action given the fact that the original DPWH-led process was conducted above board, transparently and within the framework of the BOT law.

We urge government to respect the well established BoT process, uphold its own rules, and award the Calax Project to the highest compliant bidder, so we can begin building much needed infrastructure.
