Changing people's lives. The Manila North Tollways Corp. (MNTC), builder and concessionaire of the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), continues to touch the lives of the people residing in host communities of the 84-kilometer tollroad. Recently, the Lopez-led MNTC, in cooperation with the Gawad Kalinga (GK) Foundation, turned over a third batch of 41 low-cost houses to an equal number of marginalized families in Pandi, Bulacan. The MNTC donated P2.5 million to bankroll the construction of the houses built in Barangay Pinagkuartelan, Pandi, bringing to P7.5 million the company's total contributions to GK's housing program. Photo taken during the turnover rites shows one of the beneficiaries, Mrs. Juliet Sibug and her family, holding the symbolic key to their new home. She is joined by (from left) Bulacan Rep.
