PBBM approves 30-day Cavitex toll holiday

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. approved a 30-day toll fee suspension for the Manila-Cavite Expressway (Cavitex) from July 1 to July 30.

The Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) greenlit the recommendation for the toll holiday, which was initiated by the Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA) and supported by the MVP Group.

This toll break, covering all Cavitex sections for both RFID and cash payments, is projected to cost the Metro Pacific Group P300 million in forgone revenues.

Approximately 181,841 vehicles utilize Cavitex daily, highlighting its importance in connecting Metro Manila and Southern Tagalog.

The toll holiday may be extended for another two months, pending decisions from the TRB and the Public Estates Authority Tollway Corporation (PEATC).
