Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC) on Friday announced a strategic reshuffle of its leadership team to strengthen its financial management and operational performance, effective immediately.
The realignment sees new officers assuming leadership of key business units within the company. Ma. Teresa O. Wells, currently chief finance officer of NLEX Corporation, Elnora D. Rumawak, vice-president for finance at Metro Pacific Tollways South (MPT South), and Angel L. Carbo, vice-president for finance at Metro Pacific Tollways Mobility Corporation (MPT Mobility), will now serve as officers-in-charge of their respective units. These leaders will oversee the subsidiaries’ financial strategy, fiscal priorities, and critical initiatives.
The changes come as MPTC also bids farewell to several long-serving executives. J. Luigi Bautista, president and general manager of NLEX Corp.; Raul L. Ignacio, president and general manager of MPT South; Roberto “Bobby” V. Bontia, president and general manager of MPT Mobility; and Baby Lea M. Wong, chief human resources officer of MPTC, have all announced their retirements after decades of service.
The leadership transition is part of MPTC’s broader strategy to maintain strong governance and ensure continued growth. The announcement follows the recent appointment of Arrey A. Perez as MPTC president and chief operating officer. Perez emphasized that the leadership changes align with the company’s goals of delivering 5-star service to motorists while strengthening its financial foundation.
“The decision to elevate financial leadership at this juncture reflects our direction to ensure the subsidiaries are positioned for continued growth and aligning them with MPTC’s broader goals,” said Perez.
To support the group’s financial strategy, MPTC has also appointed Luis S. Renon as chief finance officer. Renon, who previously served as senior Vcce president at PLDT, brings valuable experience in corporate governance and fiscal management.
These leadership changes underscore MPTC’s commitment to operational excellence and its ongoing efforts to adapt to the evolving demands of the tollways industry.
