and BCDA officers and employees pose during the signing of the SCTEX concession agreement.
From 2017 to 2043, MNTC will pay, as concession fee, 20% of the audited gross toll revenues from the SCTEX, with the provision
that if the lease concession fee falls short of the JICA debt service requirement, MNTC will advance without interest the shortfall to
BCDA up to Php1 billion and recover the amount to the extent of the excess of BCDA’s 20% of gross revenues over the debt service
requirement.
As the SCTEX concessionaire, the MNTC will be responsible for, among others, the overall management and supervision of the
tollway; management of the toll operations center, toll plazas, and all other related ancillary facilities and equipment and the provision
of appropriate resources to run the toll operations; implementation of a traffic safety and security management program for the entire
stretch of the tollway on a 24/7 basis; provision of an adequate patrol system for the whole stretch of the tollway on a 24-hour basis;
provision of emergency response and incident management on a 24-hour basis in coordination with appropriate law enforcement
agency; and maintenance of the tollroad and landscaping along the tollway.
The SCTEX is a 93.77-kilometer tollway that interlinks Central Luzon’s major economic and industrial zones–the Clark Freeport
Zone, the Subic Bay Freeport Zone and the Central Techno Park in Tarlac. It was built by BCDA using a concessional loan from Japan
International Cooperation Agency (JICA), formerly the Japan Bank for International Cooperation.

Christmas
Santa Claus or simply “Santa”, is a figure which was derived from the Dutch figure of Sinterklaas,
a historical, legendary figure who in many Western cultures, is said to bring gifts to the homes
of the good children during the late evening and overnight hours of Christmas Eve, December
24 or on his Feast Day, December 6 (Saint Nicholas Day). He is also known as Saint Nicholas,
Father Christmas, Kris Kringle. Santa’s image was further popularized by the famous United
States artist, Haddon Sundlblom through The Coca-Cola Company’s Christmas advertising
campaign in the 1930s.

“Salamat po sa tulong niyo. Very helpful po talaga ang mga staff
ninyo. Sana magtuloy- tuloy ang ganyang system na tumutulong

“I would like to thank the Traffic Management Safety and Security
Team led by PC Edison Dungca and SG Alexander Pabayos who
helped me with my flat tire last September 30 at the Porac Exit. The
team was very courteous and prompt. My reserved tire was installed
in no time. With this experience, I am now more confident that SCTEX
is the safest expressway in the country. Now, I feel more secured that
no matter what happens on the road, the SCTEX Patrol team will
always be willing to help motorists like me. Definitely, every cent that
we are paying in SCTEX is worth it because of your service. Again,
thank you very much!”

“We would like to express our sincerest gratitude to PC Warren
Celestino, PC Jing Figueroa, PC Emmanuel Castaneda, PC David
Dave Navarro and the two mobile patrols for helping us during an
accident we encountered at km.80 last October 14, 2010 at around
9:30 p.m. Their sincerity while assisting us gave us encouragement
after that traumatic experience. My husband and I are very thankful
that God sent them just in time that we needed help. We asked
our family members, especially our Christian Brethrens to pray that
God will bless them more and that they will continue to be a blessing
through the service they are providing. GOD BLESS and MORE
POWER!”

“We would like to thank the prompt response of the Traffic
Management Safety and Security Patrol Team headed by PC Carlos
Castro with the help of PC Edward Benson Gacosta and PC Disraeli
Galpito. As Filipinos, we are proud to have such great public servants
providing each and every individual the quality and competent
service they deserve. The toll fee is justified with the kind of service
being provided by the SCTEX management. Thank you and God Bless.”
