'Don't delay expressway project': ADCL
SUBIC BAY FREEPORT -- "Don't delay the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEx) project," said Rene Romero, chairman of the business-led group Advocacy for the Development of Central Luzon (ADCL).
Romero made the statement during the conclusion of a recent tour made by the Provincial Board and ADCL at the 50.5-km Clark-Subic stretch of the highway.
While finishing touches are being applied for a fitting conclusion to the non-stop construction effort, ADCL noted a few sectors attempting to slow down the project.
"We are warning anyone trying to delay the operation of this highway that they will not succeed," Romero said at the Subic site, adding "ADCL will not stop in helping the government make this highway a reality for the people of Central Luzon."
"We have been waiting for the completion of the SCTEx," Romero stressed, citing the roadway's catalyst role in accelerating the emergence of special economic zones that, in turn, will grow industries that create thousands of jobs.
Romero called SCTEx "the igniter of increased economic activity."
Romero said he expects the expressway to "pave the way" for the inflow of local and foreign investments to the Subic-Clark corridor.
The SCTEx is a flagship project of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and is among the mega-projects intended to transform Central and Northern Luzon into a super region. The SCTEx is expected to serve as the new economic backbone for Central Luzon and the adjoining regions that are expected to create wider opportunities for investment, trade and employment.
After underscoring the key development role of SCTEx, Romero issued an appeal to individuals and organized groups to help ensure the completion of the expressway "at the soonest possible time."

He identified key development and construction players led by the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), civil society, Japanese contractors and the larger business community in Central Luzon.
Once operational, SCTEx will cut Clark-to-Subic travel time to 30 minutes, and reduce Clark- to-Tarlac travel to 20 minutes, and vice versa. Spanning 93.77 kilometers, the toll way will be the country's longest so far.
The P21-billion SCTEx project is nearing completion. Package 1 (Clark-to-Subic portion) is 84.2 percent complete, while Package 2 (Clark-to-Tarlac portion) is 95 percent complete.
