The taipans yielded to Mrs. Arroyo’s request despite losing the bid to construct Terminal 3 of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA 3) to the German-led Philippine International Air Terminals Co. Inc. (Piatco).


Speaking at a luncheon for the taipans at Malacañang, Mrs. Arroyo offered joint ventures using idle, state-owned land around Metro Manila and elsewhere as equity.
