DILG Remulla says Marcos wants 'red carpet treatment' for GMR Group —DILG
President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. wants a "red carpet treatment" for the GMR Group, a strategic partner of the Sangley Aerocity Project.
This was according to Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla, who is part of Marcos' delegation in the five-day state visit to India. Marcos met with top executives of the GMR Group at the Taj Mahal Hotel in New Delhi on Wednesday.
''Ang direktiba niya ay red carpet treatment para sa GMR. Sa lahat ng kailangan nila mula sa Philippine Navy, sa DOTr (Department of Transportation), sa DTI (Department of Trade and Industry), sa Department of Finance, red carpet treatment ang ibigay nila para masigurado na ang investment ay darating at giginhawa ang Pilipinas,'' Remulla said in an interview.
''His directive is to provide a red carpet treatment for GMR. For everything it needs from the Philippine Navy, the DOTr, the DTI, and the Department of Finance, they should give a red carpet treatment to ensure the investments for the Philippines.)
Remulla said GMR Group was involved in the construction of the international airports in Cebu and Clark.
The GMR Group is also involved in developing an international airport and surrounding aerotropolis at the Sangley Point in Cavite.
The said project is expected to create 10,000 to 15,000 jobs. With an estimated cost of US$3 to US$4 billion, the project is projected to generate direct revenues of US$300 to US$500 million. —VAL, GMA Integrated News
