The CEO Magazine Asia — December 2017

He first names the project on Segments 2
and 3 of CAVITEx – the C5 South Link
Project. Then he mentions the Segment 4
extension. “It is a very short road. It’s a
1.2-kilometre road that will seamlessly link
the Cavite Expressway and the Cavite–
Laguna Expressway,” he says. Lastly, Luigi
talks about the CAVITEx project situated on
Segment 5. “It is a 9.6-kilometre road that
starts from Kawit, a town in Cavite, all the
way to another town, Noveleta, and ending
in yet another town called Rosario.”
As a stark contrast to his scarily detailed
knowledge of all of Luzon’s major toll roads,
Luigi’s three guiding principles to work and
life provide a simple approach to untangling
the chaos. “Number one would be to make
a mark and contribution wherever you are
placed. Number two, never give up on what
you believe in. And number three, pray. Pray
that God will bless your work,” he says.
“When the company or your co-workers or
employees consistently see these principles in

play, they will appreciate, and will thus
participate in, your plans and programs.
For me, it’s as straightforward as that.”
Guided by simplicity to deal with the
complex, Luigi very much sounds like a man
with more than 37 years’ experience in civil
engineering. He spent the first 15 of those
years in civil work construction, both
horizontal (roads and bridges) and vertical
(buildings). As for the other 22, Luigi has
devoted himself to developing, financing,
constructing, operating and managing toll
roads and other related infrastructure projects.
This immense wealth of experience has
allowed Luigi to hone and finesse what
are undoubtedly his areas of expertise:
construction project management, contract
negotiation, claims management, and
project development – specifically, toll
road infrastructure projects.
A formative project for Luigi came in
1995, when he was a member of the original
team that developed and modernised the
