We rise above challenges and conquer opportunities, day in and day out.
NLEX held its 2022 mid-year review, themed NLEX: Rise and Conquer, last July 28 at the Luzon Ballroom of Sofitel Manila. During the business review, the division heads and their representatives discussed the results of their Balanced Scorecard, including the highlights and lowlights of their first half of the year. Plans, initiatives and adjustments for the remainder of the year to ensure that 2022 targets will be met were also laid out.
Key challenges and opportunities, such as the transition to barrierless toll collection, resolution of leakage and RFID concerns, plans for Candaba Viaduct, and the completion of the NLEX-SLEX Connector Road Project resounded throughout the conference.
On top of the division presentation, MPTC President and CEO Rod Franco gave the context of the organization, and NLEX Corporation President and GM Luigi Bautista bared an opportunity we intend to conquer – the IiP Platinum Accreditation.
