In a clarification of local press reports that it was one of five bidders for the project in Davao ICTSI said it had only responded to a invitation for prospective bidders, which consisted of pre-qualification information, and not made a bid. It further noted the terms of reference for the project had not yet been released by Department of Transportation and Communication (DOTC).
