ILOILO CITY — The National Irrigation Administration (NIA) has declined the unsolicited proposal by Aboitiz InfraCapital Inc. (AIC) to develop the bulk water supply project in Iloilo, citing conflicts with its plans and agreements.
In a letter dated March 31 obtained by The Manila Times, NIA administrator Eduardo Guillen informed AIC first vice president Francis David Roque that the agency is "unable to move forward" with the proposal due to misalignment with the NIA's comprehensive development plan and a potential conflict with the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
