MPTC to celebrate World Children’s Day by going ‘blue’

Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC), together with its family of companies, announced that it will support the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) in celebrating World Children’s Day by lighting its structures blue.

Per the tollway company, North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) Corporation — which operates and maintains NLEX and Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) — will go blue by lighting its headquarters at Balintawak, Caloocan City. Meanwhile, Metro Pacific Tollways (MPT) South Corporation — MPTC’s subsidiary for South Luzon expressways Manila–Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX) and Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX) — will light up its Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold Certified green headquarters MPT South Hub in Imus, Cavite.

Furthermore, MPT Mobility — MPTC’s arm for smart and sustainable expressway mobility services — will light NLEX Drive and Dine in blue. NLEX Drive and Dine is a motorist rest stop located in Valenzuela, within NLEX’s main line.

In the Visayas region, the iconic Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX) will be lit blue to represent Cebu Cordova Link Expressway Corporation's (CCLEC) support for UNICEF’s advocacy.

“MPTC’s support to UNICEF in celebrating World Children’s Day is a milestone for our company. This highlights the responsibility of businesses like ours to adopt policies and develop programs that will promote children’s rights,” said MPTC President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Rodrigo Franco.

“MPTC prides itself in providing safe and convenient roads and highways, and necessarily, children accompanied by their parents who use our facilities. It is our responsibility to promote the right programs that would protect and enhance the convenience of these children,” added the Chief Executive.

World Children’s Day will be celebrated on November 20, 2022.

MPTC positions itself as an ally of UNICEF in protecting the rights of every child and it is one of the supportive partners that responded to UNICEF’s call for child equality and inclusivity, in celebration of World Children’s Day.

In November 2021, MPTC signed a multi-year agreement with UNICEF to help promote the safety of children on the road by supporting 100 schools in high-risk areas, potentially reaching 20,000 children.

As a company with a mission to bring good life to people, the entire MPTC Group is committed to being an avenue for achieving a safer and better future for children by creating programs and policies that consider child’s rights and safety, encouraging and reminding the public that it is our common duty to protect, care and support children.
