With the signing of the agreement, the junction will now be known as the x “San Fernando Pampanga’s Best Interchange.”

The agreement also signals the start of the 10- year partnership between NLEX Corp., previously known as Manila North Tollways Corporation (MNTC), and Pampanga’s Best aims in creating a strong and positive impact on stakeholders.

The Pampanga’s Best brand will now be added to the interchange structures as well as to the 19 directional signs along the NLEX bearing the name San Fernando.

Renato U. Ticzon, President of NLEX Ventures Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of NLEX Corporation, said “Pampanga’s Best Inc. is the first food company to partner with NLEX. Being a catalyst of growth in Pampanga, it suits well for the naming rights to its home city, San Fernando.”
