CALAX will eventually connect to the Manila-Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX) in Kawit.</p><p>&quot;We were able to open before the holidays, so more road trips to our countrymen.&quot; Capistrano said.</p><p>&quot;Kung gusto niyo magpalamig sa Tagaytay o bumii ng halaman sa Silang. This is the time,&quot; Capistrano added.</p><p>MPTC is a toll road development arm of Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC).
