Julius Espat, Minister of Infrastructure Development & Housing
"We are going back to the original design that MIDH had done, we are not changing from that. That was the original design anyway and that's where the copyrighting came in cause, the second one, we didn't give it over, the second one was done on the basis of the one that we did so we're just going back to where it started."
