MMDA strikes deal for EDSA repainting
MANILA, Philippines—The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority will sign an agreement with a paint manufacturing company on Monday to put life on drearily dull underpasses along EDSA.
In a statement, MMDA Chairman Francis Tolentino will sign a memorandum of agreement with Edison Oribiana, Asian Coatings business development head, for the painting and visual development of the walls of P. Tuazon, Shaw Boulevard and Ayala tunnels.
Under the agreement, Asian Coatings would paint the walls of the tunnels for three years with no money coming from the funds of the MMDA.
“We are grateful to Asian Coatings for their support in the EDSA makeover project and their desire to help beautify Metro Manila,” said Tolentino.
Tolentino added that people traversing Metro Manila’s longest thoroughfare would look at a refreshing contrast from the visual clutter that dominates the 28-kilometer highway.
