CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — The Pampanga Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc. commended the Department of Transportation and NLEX Corp. for their prompt and unified action in addressing the inconvenience brought about by the ongoing repairs at the Marilao Bridge.
“The temporary toll relief for motorists using the northbound segment of the NLEX from Balintawak to Meycauayan effective March 24 at 12 noon is a welcome development,” said PamCham chairman Rene G. Romero in a press statement.
“This immediate intervention not only alleviates the burden on the commuting public but also exemplifies the power of swift and responsive governance in partnership with a socially conscious private sector,” he said
Romero cited DOTr Secretary Vince Dizon for his tireless dedication in resolving transport related challenges. “His proactive leadership, marked by immediate coordination with NLEX management, shows a deep understanding of the plight of our commuters and motorists.”
“Secretary Vince’s relentless efforts to find solutions amid crises reaffirm our confidence in the DOTr’s commitment to serving the Filipino people. Equally deserving of praise is the NLEX Corp. for its sensitivity and timely response to the call for public relief.” Romero furthered. “By heeding the appeal of the DOTr, NLEX has demonstrated a commendable level of corporate responsibility and civic empathy.”
The business leader appealed to NLEX to facilitate the completion of the repair of the Marilao Bridge before the coming Holy Week. “This would greatly ease the travel of thousands of Filipinos journeying to their provinces to be with their families during this important time of reflection and tradition.”
“This toll relief is more than just a temporary waiver it is a symbol of public-private synergy working in harmony for the greater good. We look forward to the continued progress in the repair works and the eventual full restoration of the Marilao Bridge. Until then, let us support and extend our patience to the hardworking teams on the ground,” Romero said. Punto News Team
