MANILA (Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN): The Cavite government is considering cancelling the award granted last year to a Chinese-Filipino venture for the initial phase of the P500-billion Sangley Point International Airport (SPIA) — a new gateway meant to decongest Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Naia).

A draft document from the province’s Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Selection Committee, which was seen by the Inquirer, showed a recommendation to terminate the Feb 12, 2020, award to the consortium of China Communications Construction Co. Ltd. (CCCC) and taipan Lucio Tan’s MacroAsia Corp.
