The completion of the Calax project remains up in the air as the right-of-way issue has remained unresolved after the private owner of the land to be acquired asked a settlement amount for nearly four times the value appraised by the government.
Alex Bote, Public-Private Partnership service director at the Department of Public Works and Highways , said in a recent statement that the 450 meters of land owned by private company Uneco Land Corp.—on which a critical portion of the Silang Interchange of the P35.7-billion toll road needs to be built—was estimated to cost around P16 million.The DPWH said its engineers had appraised the lot after the order issued by Tagaytay, Cavite Regional Trial Court.
Following the Road Right of Way Act, Bote said that P5 million was first deposited to the court. Bote said the government agency was ready to pay for the remaining P11 million but the court was “not in favor of accepting our deposit,” citing an order requiring a third-party appraiser.
