    According to the tollway operator, the aforementioned section, once operational, is set to provide a crucial connection to the Aguinaldo Highway, known to be the busiest highway in Cavite.

    “This development will greatly enhance travel convenience to Silang town and Tagaytay, making it easier for tourists to reach 'Instagram-ready' destinations in the province,” the company added.

    The firm made the announcement after bringing back its "Envirosafe Tour" program.

    Held in partnership with Acienda Designer Outlet and Henry's Cameras, an exclusive tour allowed participants to explore the current operational as well as the soon-to-open section Subsection 4 — showcasing the numerous sustainable measures that are implemented along CALAX.

    Per MPT South, the operational sections of CALAX already have toll plazas that are equipped with solar panels to generate power for their own operations. 

    In addition, LED fixtures are also fitted in both lighting and roadway systems, enhancing energy efficiency and sustainability measures throughout the company.

    Further, the company shared its commitment to its carbon offsetting initiatives, actively involved in planting trees and creating biodiverse areas along CALAX, which come in two folds: counteracting the company's emissions and mitigating the emissions produced by customer vehicles.

    The tour showcased the locations along the toll road that were utilized as green spaces.

    "MPT South recognizes the importance of balancing progress with responsible practices, and we remain committed to implementing initiatives that prioritize sustainability, environmental stewardship, and community well-being. Through this program, we aim to create a positive and lasting impact on the regions we serve, ensuring a better future for all," MPT South President and General Manager Mr. Raul Ignacio.

    It was in 2021 when MPT South bared its plan to convert CALAX as a "Green Highway" as part of MPTC's commitment to decarbonizing the transport sector in the Philippines. 

    The move is said to be aligned with the Metro Pacific Investments Corporation's (MPIC) sustainability efforts, which are, in turn, in line with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

    Aside from CALAX, MPTC also holds concession rights for Manila-Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX), its C5 Link Segment, the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), the Subic-Clark Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX), the NLEX Connector Road, and the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX) in Cebu.
