Carmen road segment of TPLEX set to open
BAGUIO CITY -- Another portion of the P23.8-billion Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEx) is set to open to motorists this week, an official of concessionaire Private Infra Dev Corp. (PIDC) said here on Saturday.
Mark A. Dumol, PIDC president, said this portion -- which serves
as section 1-B of TPLEx -- spans 32.30 kilometers (km) and will run
from Tarlac to Barangay Carmen in Rosales, Pangasinan.
“We are targeting to open it to traffic on April 16. The project will be initially toll-free because we have to apply for that, so motorists will only have to pay up to Paniqui (Tarlac),” Mr. Dumol said during the 2014 Business Journalism Seminar held at Le Monet Hotel.
Last year, PIDC started the operations of TPLEx’s section 1-A -- a 17-km thoroughfare that runs from Tarlac City to the municipalities of Paniqui and Gerona.
Two more phases of TPLEx will be opened to complete the 88.85-km TPLEx.
Mr. Dumol said section 2 -- which runs for 13.72 km from Carmen to Urdaneta, Pangasinan -- will open in December 2014.
“Right now, section 2 is already about 30% complete. It’s doing well. We hope to complete it by the end of this year,” the official said, adding this is earlier than originally planned opening in December next year.
To complete the tollway project, section 3 -- with a total distance of 25.83 kilometers -- will run from Urdaneta to Rosario in La Union.
“We will start that by the end of this year and will complete by December 2015, ahead of our original target in 2018,” Mr. Dumol said.
TPLEx -- construction of which started in August 2010 -- is envisioned cut the travel time between Manila and Baguio to two to three hours from six.
Mr. Dumol said the highway will have security features, patrol cars and emergency assistance vehicles.
Private concessionaire PIDC is an all-Filipino consortium led by Ramon S. Ang’s San Miguel Corp.; DMCI Group; D.M. Wenceslao & Associates, Inc.; R.D. Policarpio Construction, Inc.; New Kanlaon Construction, Inc.; J.E. Manalo & Company, Inc.; and C.M. Pancho Construction, Inc.
San Miguel, which has diversified into heavier industries such as power and infrastructure from food and beverage, controls the concessionaires behind South Luzon Expressway and Manila Skyway.
Its unit, Optimal Infrastructure Development Corp., also won the P15.8-billion public-private partnership project to build Ninoy Aquino International Airport Expressway, which will link the main airport and Bagong Nayong Pilipino Entertainment City, Parañaque City, near Manila Bay.
Together with Indonesia’s Citra Group, the company has already started construction of the P26.5-billion Skyway 3, a 14-km toll road that will link North and South Luzon expressways.
San Miguel’s net income grew 42% to P38.1 billion last year, mainly driven by its P40-billion, one-time gain from the sale of its stake in Manila Electric Co. (Meralco). The sale of its 27% stake in Meralco to Gokongwei-led JG Summit Holdings, Inc. offset P15.6 billion in foreign exchange losses. Revenues rose 7% to P748 billion mainly due to improvement in sales from new businesses.
Shares of the company gained P2.50 or 3.14% to end P82 apiece on Friday last week from P79.50 each on Thursday. -- Claire-Ann Marie C. Feliciano

PSU bats for green environment
PSU bats for green environment
by Venus H. Sarmiento
Lingayen, Pangasinan (28 July) -- The Pangasinan State University embarked on a tree planting activity yesterday and today, as part of its social concern to help protect the environment.
PSU President Victoriano Estira said the commemorative tree planting activity forms part of the 31st anniversary celebration of the school to develop awareness and participation among the students.
"We would like to show the way and lead the way in caring for the environment. We exemplify tree planting as an immediate concern and translate in the form of the participation and more involvement of faculty members and students," Estira said.
The initial tree planting activity was conducted in the nine campuses of PSU located in the towns of Asingan, Binmaley, Bayambang, Infanta, Lingayen and in the cities of San Carlos, Urdaneta and Alaminos. It was capped by the university celebration in the main campus in Lingayen where the planting activity was spearheaded by Estira together with the university's three vice presidents- Dr. Lydia Buduhan for Administration and Planning, Dr. Manolito Manuel for Academic Affairs and Dr. Honorio Cascolan for Research and Extension.
Thousands of forest tree seedlings like mahogany and gimelina were planted to provide shade and recreation area within the vicinity of the school campuses, not to mention their aesthetic value and contribution to filtration of carbon dioxide in the air.
Incidentally, the nature-loving Estira revealed that he just planted 500 seedlings last weekend in his farm located in Bugallon town as it is "always the people's responsibility to sustain and care about the trees and the environment not only for themselves but most importantly for the future generations to come."
A short program honoring the loyal PSU faculty members, retirees and board passers was held after the greening activity. Marcelo Casillan of the PSU Board of Regents, was the event's guest of honor and speaker (PIA-Pangasinan)
