THE GOVERNMENT is still open to “any privatization” option for the Sasa Port redevelopment after the project is withdrawn from the list of public-private partnership (PPP) projects approved by the previous administration’s National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Board.
DAVAO CITY — Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and exporters in Davao Region have expressed support for the P18.99-billion Sasa Port modernization project under the public-private partnership (PPP) program, providing a base of support for the project, which has drawn criticism from big business groups and local governments.
DAVAO CITY — Bidding for the Sasa Port modernization is moving ahead with the Department of Transportation and Communications (DoTC) set to hold the prequalification conference today as scheduled despite mounting calls for a reconsideration of the privatization project from the Davao Region business community and local governments.
