The executives replaced Rogelio “Babes” Singson, the former president and CEO of MPTC, one of the country’s largest toll road operators, managing key expressways such as the North Luzon Expressway, Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway, and Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX).
An Insider Info report indicated that Metro Pacific leaders were considering other roles for Perez with the infrastructure giant, whose businesses include energy, water, and healthcare.
In the end, he was chosen to lead as president of MPTC and COO while Pangilinan, who holds the CEO title in affiliates such as PLDT Inc. and Manila Electric Co., stepped in as the chief executive.
Apart from its domestic operations, MPTC is also growing its operations in Indonesia and Vietnam.
Perez brings over two decades of leadership experience. As the former president and CEO of ClAC, he led major infrastructure projects to develop the Clark Civil Aviation Complex into a global logistics hub.
During his tenure as a senior vice president of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), he played a pivotal role in transforming BCDA properties into dynamic economic centers.
